I think they're just as abrasive today. But I also think the shock value is long gone. We know what South Park is and what to expect.

I wonder what is worse? To be burn alive, to be placed underground and milked for our semen, to be victims of a race war, to be raped, scorned, torn asunder by Muslim extremists, hanged by a totalitarian rule for insubordination, or to sit here with no connection to Facebook."

I would like to see it continue on too. With Cartman being so annoyed that Butters thinks she's smart and funny, what if the entire WORLD thinks she's smart and funny? If Cartman gets pissed that people really do get over it, that sounds like great TV to me!

SHUT THE FUCK UP LESLIE!!!

That's the problem when you have a cast that is so large. I hear it with Walking Dead all the time this season. We can't see every character in ever episode. Stan has been a major focal point for the last few seasons, so I'm okay with him taking a step back. I do like Cartman as he is and been fun waiting to see him…

That ties in with the whole nostalgia theme of the season. I actually liked seeing the calm and understand side of Sheila this season, especially now that it makes her old self (turned up to eleven) seem way more insane. A lot of people have complained there hasn't been enough Randy this season, but I'm okay with…

I actually never even considered the dynamic of Gerald teaching Ike (voiced by Parker's daughter) about how trolling is okay and funny 'just between us guys' is really like Parker trying to explain to his daughter what he does on South Park. And when Ike says he learned to talk like that "From Daddy" is a great little…

"Where'd you learn to talk like that?"
"From Daddy!"

I don't think the Danes were ever meant to be just a secondary thread. They've been in there right since the beginning as an aspect of the trolling plotline which started literally in the opening minutes of the season. I think the Danish Troll is really Freja Olengard.

And on the subject of Voltaire, I'm re-reading Candide right now. One of my favourites.

Don't get me wrong, I think South Park is really intelligent and has important things to say, but I think the true gift of the show is showing how ridiculous people are in general, no matter what side they are on. I've been watching since the first episode aired when I was 11. The show has taught me the value of…

What kind of stiff is writing these reviews? I was laughing all the way through this episode. This episode was full of self-reflection from Stone and Parker and I loved it. Gerald's defense of not being a troll and how trolling people for laughs, spreading laughter, which is good, is essentially how they've vindicated…

All of Gerald's comments about trolling and pointing out hypocrisy and all that is meta too, in that South Park has always belittled people and organisations for laughs as they paint everyone as stupid.

Enid was not like a 'deer in the headlights' because she saw a zombie, but because she saw a car gunning toward her.

She is not a mole of a spy. Jesus, can people just get over this. When she said "That's how were able—" she was referring to wanting to leave with the Wolves attack, because the place was indefensible and there were two many blindspots, which how the two of them were able to climb back and forth over the wall numerous…

As for Rosita I think her grief is being channeled into anger, having lost Abraham in two different ways, and then seeing him be murdered and the way Negan made her look at his brains on the bat. She seems hell bent on revenge, so I don't think she's in denial over their deaths. If she's in denial over anything it is…

At least we got some time to get to know Noah in Season 5 before he died. We even got an episode where we visit his home and find out his family was killed by The Wolves. Same with Denise. The problem with Season 3 is that T-Dog was given practically no time to have a character since season 1. We learned more about…

Actually the entire cast would die. If you want to create that ending, load up the episode, watch that scene with Carl aiming the gun, and then shut it off and never watch another second of the show. Done.

Not including the bit where he makes Olivia cry and genuinely feels bad about it was such a quintessential moment for Negan and Olivia as characters after she slaps his indecent apology involving porking all night long.

Maybe they're saving it for Negan's return? I hope they do it on the show because not only was it the genesis for one of the more interesting relationships on the show, Negan and Olivia (not sexual, just interesting), but it was the first time we saw that Negan honestly felt bad for making Olivia cry and in his odd…
