Season Fourteen, Episode Fourteen - First Impressions

Well, that's that season and it ends with a fairly good episode. It really didn't have enough material for a 22-minute episode, but what it had was funny, but they had to resort to too much repetition. I think Randy's plot had potential for more, they should've just explored it a bit more and cut some Sharon bits that got really old fast. Nice callback to Chef as well, I loved that, really made me think of golden era for a moment and that's really cool. I think they should do more of that, make those connections with earlier seasons and stuff. The best episodes of the season, 200 and 201 were pretty much about that and it works, so keep doing that. Good stuff, and nice way to end a season. Overall I think it was probably a bit better than Season Thirteen, which isn't saying much as 13 was the worst ever. We'll see when I do the official reviews, probably in a few months.

Season Fourteen, EpisodeThirteen - First Impressions

Again I'm couple of days late, but still, here it is:

That was some crazy shit. Animation was enjoyable and it was for the most part well made, with nice twist in the end, but damn that was messed up, even by South Park standards. I guess comparing to two other episodes of this trilogy this was pretty good. I loved how Kenny went to sleep by shooting himself in the head.

It just contradicts with the fact that "Kenny dies all the time". I mean, the boys are aware of this usually, yet in this episode they constantly have no recollection of it. But it made for couple of great scenes. Overall it was decent stuff.

Season Fourteen, Episode Twelve - First Impressions

Season Fourteen winds down and we're treated with another quite mediocre episode. This was better than the last, but still, the quality is not acceptable. But it seems that they're not going to drag on for many seasons like the Simpsons, so hopefully it'll all end soon. It's weird to find yourself hoping one of your favorite series ends, just two years ago I would've had none of that stuff. Anyway, one of the problems of this episode was the reveal of Mysterion's identity. I guess that's going to split opinions but I think part of Mysterion's charm was that we didn't know who he was. Still it looked like the episode could amount to something considering Kenny. There was looong and boring scene when Cartman was on Ctulhu's belly - why did it go on so long? It felt like forever. And the episode is inconclusive? Does this mean we're going to see threeparter of this shit? There was mildly amusing Cartman song and couple of jokes hit the target. The episode was visually pleasing as well, but that's it. Mediocre stuff.

Season Fourteen, Episode Eleven - First Impressions

Well that was a mess. There were some semi-funny moments and references, but overall the plot just reeked random shit. All of the charm of original Coon-episode was gone. Things just happened randomly - like Cartman all the sudden beating two people up. I don't really get it. This was really bad. Captain Hindsight was dull and uninspiring - and does this mean that there's two episodes of this shit? Either way, it sucks. Another episode with such a bad premise or an episode without conclusion, pick your poison.

Season Fourteen, Episode Ten - First Impressions

I'm a bit late again, but I tend to forget these episodes nowadays. This was pretty good, goofy but in a good way. That said, it was a rather lazy parody of Inception. It was always going to be easy. That film is really weird that it's so well liked considering it's pretty bad. I think Mackey's childhood had a lot of potential, but that was left unused as they went a bit too far on that complication-thing. It took too much time and the joke got old by the end. It's nothing brilliant, but considering that the show is well past it's best this was above-average outing.

Season Fourteen, Episode Nine - First Impressions

Well, I can honestly say that this is different series that the show was in it's golden era, there's just the same characters. That was crazy. I kind of liked it in parts, but overall it just got way overboard and in the end the plot was predictable, well except the Osama killing. I kinda hoped that in the end ceremony when Osama was thanked that Stan would say "Dude, this is pretty fucked up right here", but of course that haven't been said for about ten years.

What I am trying to say: Overall, it wasn't bad, it was actually very decent and funny, but it's just not the same series any more. South Park has always been crazy shit, but they can't go any more crazier and I don't think they should. Improvement over last week's episode.

Season Fourteen, Episode Eight - First Impressions

Well, that was okay for the most part. You can't go much wrong with Cartman. It was the old formula of Cartman coming up with something crazy but still succeeding. However the episode got worse as it progressed and for the most part just relied on one joke - that NASCAR is for stupid and poor people. The ending was somewhat unsatisfying. It was just a basic South Park episode, not particularly good, not particularly bad.
