Newsarama has posted a wonderful interview with one of my favourite people, Phil 'Doc Saturday' Morris. The talk is primarily about the Brave And The Bold show, but leave it Phil to make sure the Saturdays got some mention! From the link-- NRAMA: ...any favorite cartoons?
PM: Jonny Quest was absolutely huge, which is why I’m so glad to be playing Doc Saturday on the Secret Saturdays. It’s very much like Jonny Quest meets Herculoids...

Very nice interview. I love it when it is obvious that the voice actor is a fan of what they do.
Sweet!
I had the HUGE honor of meeting Phil a few months back, and being the first Saturday's fan he'd met. He really is an amazing guy.
Like the first comment... It's always a pleasure when the pros are also completely geeky and intelligent fans in love and full of passion for what they do. When I realize people like this exist... It warms my cold spectral heart, and I open up more. :)
Hope to see more great work from all of you wonderful creatures.
That was a good interview, of course. Nothing I can add to what's already been said, so I move on to "The Kur Guardian."
It was nice to see flashbacks to the Saturdays first rescuing Fisk (I was pretty sure that's what was going on from the very start). Also nice to meet Abby, and learn more about the Lemurians (I was also pretty sure the inscription meant they guarded the world from Kur, becuz I are so smrt.) Um... but here's the thing I'm mostly wondering. Zak meets lots of cryptids, but as of now, there are only 3 who actually came to live with the Saturdays. I wonder, when little Zak immediately said Fisk should live with them, was that just Zak being Zak, or... could it be that without even realizing it, whatever's inside him that makes him special... not only gives him his powers, but also gives him a subconscious knowledge of things that will be important. Because clearly, it's of the utmost importance that Fisk came to live with them. At the time it might not have seemed like much to the Saturdays, but in retrospect, EVERYTHING would have been different if they'd just transported him somewhere "safe" and never seen him again. Which makes me wonder if Komodo and Zon will also play an important role in the whole Kur thing....
Well, the Saturdays are very conscientious about the rare cryptids they encounter. As you've seen from various episodes, their efforts are primarily aimed at protecting the cryptids and maintaining their habitats whenever possible, with a "do no harm" attitude. This almost always works for them. The three cryptids that live with them are the only exceptions to the rule, because they are all unique (the last of their kind, or first, in Komodo's case), and their habitats were destroyed (which you've seen for both Zon and now Fisk). So the Saturdays had no choice but to take these cryptids with them or let them die alone. As far as motivation for taking them in goes, that's it in a nutshell.
Now... I'm not saying some sort of fate isn't involved in their finding Fisk, but you'll just have to wait and see how it all plays out.
