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.

A New Blog

The Simpsons Junkie
Not that anyone is interested, I had started a new blog. As I said I've been lately watching the Simpsons and now that has caused physical and mental addiction to it, similar to what I had back in late 2008 with the South Park. Therefore it's only natural for me to start a similar blog about it. I'll keep posting on this obviously.

This project has been very enjoyable for me, even though I didn't attain a big readership. I wrote for myself and that will be the philosophy in my new blog too. I now have so much knowledge on South Park that I think I could take on the biggest fans of the show and still hold my own. I don't know if I still deserve the name South Park Nerd, but at least I don't struggle with the continuity as much as the show's writers themselves seem to struggle. That's not saying much, though.

Season Fourteen, Episode Seven - First Impressions

I'm couple of day late on this one, but to be honest I haven't been paying much attention to South Park's recently. Don't worry, I've not done anything useful or productive, I've just been watching the Simpsons.. and while I knew that "Simpsons already did that", I didn't know they've already done that much of the same stuff.

But enough babbling, about the episode.. Well it was quite poor finish to this run. Very dull and predictable gag with Nathan was the worst thing. The documentary parody didn't work for me and the 'information' snippets did more to kill the momentum of the episode than to amuse you. Maybe I just have to face the facts that Towelie is used up dry towel, in terms of comedy as well.

Some commenters actually say that it's the worst episode ever. I don't know. There certainly wasn't anything funny in it, while the defending worst episode (at least for me) "The Pinewood Derby" had Randy as a princess Leia (still cracks me up). But yeah, maybe this episode's suckage will sink in when I do the 'official' reviews. Back to watching Simpsons for me. Why do anything when you can watch cartoons all day (and night, as in this instance)?

Season Fourteen, Episode Six

To be honest, this episoded didn't live up to expectation, especially when the first episode left such a big hype. I loved the beginning, but after that it got a bit of a mess. It didn't have the usual problems new episodes have, at least all of them, but it had different problems. I for one hated seeing Pip. Not because he was there, it was just that the guy was like ten seasons away and then his seen for 3 seconds before dying. I didn't like the very ending also. Mitch Connor is cool though.

Season Fourteen, Episode Five First Impressions

Holy shit. That's all I'm gonna say. This season just keeps on getting better. Hell of a cliffhanger in the end too, that's going to keep us holding our breaths for a week. Great episode, made me reflect some of the classic episodes. Some recycling, but hell, even recycling is better than what some of the last season's episodes were (this season's been a class apart though). Man, I can't take it. See ya.
