Not my favorite episode to date, but I still liked it. Many great scenes, a few answers, and many more questions. I anticipate numerous and harsh criticisms from those who expected (for no good reason beyond their desire) old Coop to finally return and Audrey to have remained a sexy teenager dancing hypnotically to…

He'll "turnip" soon enough, I'm sure

Agreed. I thought this was a fine episode, but certainly not a candidate for Best in Show, and not deserving of a better grade than last week.

I was really excited for a brief moment to see Cooper enjoy the experience of playing catch with his son, something I imagine he would have wanted when he was fully himself. Then the ball hit him in the head, and I laughed. End scene. Wait another week.

I knew you'd "turnip" in this thread sooner or later!

Since the part 12 review isn't up yet, I will take this moment and this space to prepare for reams of hate from those who expected Cooper to return for no good reason beyond a vague title and for intense anger over Audrey appearing but longer as a goofy but sexy teenager dancing to Badalamenti jazz

I'm sure he's great company in real life…

Ouch, my feelings! Mom, the AV Club Twin Peaks troll is picking on me again because I made a sarcastic jab at his post! And he didn't even get the Coneheads reference!

France. I come from France.

No need to get all butt-hurt about it.

I'm always amused by folks who talk about respect and then frame someone's perspective as "butt-hurt."

Certainly. He worked actively on the project for 3 years with Frost, filmed everything, mapped it all out as an 18-hour movie, edited it, reviewed it, put together a complex sound design, and then remixed it in a matter of weeks because people complained on the Internet. That makes perfect sense.

I'm not sure they are corrupt, and I didn't get the impression Mullins thought so. If he said so explicitly, I missed it or must have forgotten. Seemed to me more that he was angry they were singling Dougie out as some kind of suspect rather than treating him as a victim after his car was blown up and Ike the Spike…

This episode was such a breath of fresh air after last week's pointless backstory. I never read the comics, so it doesn't bug me in the least if they screw with the source material as long as the output is decent.

I assumed something to do with the drug "Sparkle."

The Bachelor airs new episodes weekly, perhaps more your speed.

They did an entire season-and-a-half focused heavily on Trump, and while it had a few laughs, it was the least funny South Park in years. Season 18 was great, 19 was so-so, and 20 was crap. The experimentation with a serialized storyline plus Garrison as Trump in every episode was a humor killer. There are enough…

It was a while back,

It comes back around,

Hmm. I wasn't aware they had reconciled. Still, I'm not expecting much Audrey, but I would be delighted to be proven wrong.
