I know, it's sad...
-
Wow. Yeah. I see why people do that.
-
Uh, I guess not.
-
Having just nursed my Mum through it (and she's as tough as granite - it'll take the Almighty coming down Himself to collect her when she collects her wings) I'm now fairly well versed in breast cancer and everything that goes with it - so watching SOUTH PARK deal with this will be awesome. I mean, if there's one show that can make you THINK they're going to be just dumbly offensive, but then actually be insightful, satirical, intelligent AND deeply offensive, it's SOUTH PARK. Parker and Stone are two of the best writers on television - PERIOD.
-
I fell asleep during the last episode.
-
Just watching the preview of this episode anooyed the hell out of me. But...so did pretty much every episode of South Park over the last few season. I think I pretend it's Heroes and stop watching it.
-
... only scenes involving the old guy picking on Joshua Jackson are redeemable. That's it. Poor man's X-Files.
-
I believe you fell alseep because you're mouthbreathing troglodyte.
-
and fringe.. isn't that the stuff on vests and shirt sleeves, etc?
Seriously, never seen the show, but it looks really weak. To each his own though. -
Makes me want to change the channel. I bet that's why the show sucks. Fuck Pacey.
-
WTF! WHO THE FUCK DECIDED TO MAKE THAT THE COVER FOR THE DVD? IT'S FUCKING AWFUL!
-
FBI Chick Whose Name You Can't Remember chases Electromagnetic Guy through stacks of machinery and doesn't try ONCE to use her weapon to stop him from fleeing. Oh, and Pacey...errr, Josh Jackson is snarky with beard stubble again.
There, I just saved everyone the trouble of watching their DVR...
-
Now you are just being ridiculous. Fringe looks like Kubrick's work compared to Heroes.
-
Not as bad as some say and not as good as others say. It has its moments, but overall it's just a poor man's X-Files, like somebody mentioned.
-
Cool music, cool graphics. The rest of the show is mildly entertaining. I watch, but it's not like I mull the plot points over in my head after it's done. Most of the episodes have felt like X-Files retreads. Liked the previous one with the large tunnelling vibrator of doom, but even that left me empty as they explained... pretty much nothing. This week's was pretty paint by the numbers. Wow... a dude that makes electrical machinery go nuts. Meh.
What we NEED is a supernatural talkback. -
Constantly going into weird areas or situations without backup, and I can't remember her name either. Hell, I remember the name of the chick Astor (the girl whose name the crazy doctor can't remember) but not hers!
-
The only vaguely amusing thing is when Denethor does something crazy and eccentric, like pissing himself.
That said, I wouldn't mind Talkbacks for Friday Night Lights or Chuck... -
You know you want them.
Donal Logue improves Life beyond where it was last year.
And Timebomb is one of the best comic hero's ever created.
Gotta love the slightly sleazy Mentalist Jane. -
...better when it was titled "D.P.O" on the X-Files.
-
which has become so contrived and frankly shite that it pains me to watch it.
-
I thought I had seen an episode of X-Files that was similar.
-
I think.
-
I'm loving that show!!
-
I reckon at least 20, 30 times. One joke per episode and they only manage to crank out 6 episodes a year? Now thats lazy writing.
-
Denethor shuffling his feet to shock the shit out of Joshua Jackson was pretty funny.
-
You mean Astrid? lol
-
Cartman is the reason why people watch South Park. This show rules all. p.s. Just as annoying as the people who yell "First" are the people who yell "First" and then don't get first, and then feel compelled to post again and go "Oops, guess not." Happens in every stupid thread.
-
at least not this season.
-
ha ha.
-
much better than last weeks episode. SP is back!!
-
Cartman hasn't had one of his "oh no he didn't" moments in a while. Crapping on Mr. Garrison's desk qualified.
-
And I don't even mean just from AICN...every single person online that talks shit, hateful or otherwise, yet in the end could never back it up. I confess I fall into this category as well....=P
-
not the Fringe TB? SP is still the BEST animated comedy out there hands down! Matt and Trey have totally developed great characters over the years. not all the eps are bust a gut funny,but i get more laughs than from any Fox show(American Dad is my fave of those though)Adult swim does have some quality humor as well,but SP is still numero uno in my book. oh,and first! posters can lick the anal sludge off my cock after im done coming into a 400 pound girl's shitpipe who suffers from IBS after she's been eating peanuts all day!
-
I'm just restoring universal balance here. Back to the fun.
-
love that it was not social satire (which I enjoy) or attacking popular culture, it was just the kids being the kids
-
This and last week were two of the lamest episodes I can remember, and they're coming on the heels of a weak run. Maybe it's time to end the show.
-
I definitely enjoyed the Fringe episode more.
-
Are you out of your fucking mind? It's SHIT! SHIIIIIIIIIIITTT!!!
I mean, Claire Keelan's quite sexy, but as a series... absolutely dreadful. Great concept utterly wasted on below-mediocre writing. Timebomb is the only funny character in it, and The Hotness needs a bullet. Now.
Godawful stuff. I'd actually rather watch HEROES, which shows my absolute hatred of NO HEROICS, because HEROES has really gone down the pan. Why is S3 just a warmed over rehash of S1? Anyone?
SUPERNATURAL TB over here, stat, please. -
X-FILES without the atmosphere, great writing, chemistry between any of the actors, or smarts. All the funky 3-D captions in the world don't distract me from the fact that it's shit. You can spray a turd gold, but underneath...
-
might be the weakest episode of the season. having to think back about the 1st half of the season though.
-
I still remember that line from first season. You would think that Cartman would have learned from that Sun shooting that skank.
-
Reminded me of the early series. No big issues, just the sort of things kids always deal with. Laughed plenty at how pathetic Cartman shows himself to be - yet again!
-
Missed it last night. And lol... looks like I can'tremember that one other chick's name on Fringe either.
-
This episode could have been CLASSIC. First, it should have ended with Wendy saying "I'm finished," and then the SP credits should have been presented in the "There Will Be Blood" font, with the same music. That would have improved the episode tenfold -- the ending was terrible. But I would have gone even further with the TWBB theme throughout the episode. Man...talk about missed opportunities to make an absolutely classic and epic episode. As it was, it was mildly entertaining -- but it should have been SO MUCH more. Oh well.
-
It's at least entertaining. Give it that much. Sure, the "science" is ridiculous, but hey -- to me, it's like an updated X-Files (not as good, of course). Was the "science" in the X-Files accurate?
-
...sucks! Cartman would've died if he'd been frozen for 500 years. Also, there's no way Mr. Slave could've shoved Paris Hilton up his rectum!
-
Someone above said "Parker and Stone are two of the best writers on television - PERIOD" Oh Lord that's choice...I can't stop laughing. Thanks, that really perked up the week. You guys, you crazy guys...
-
""I'm finished," and then the SP credits should have been presented in the "There Will Be Blood" font, with the same music. That would have improved the episode tenfold -- the ending was terrible."
got to agree with you. didn't even see the near miss ending. would have been 100% better. the ending is what sucked the most about this episode. with a fixed ending its a much better episode. -
Can you imagine...a closeup of a crazed Cartman, saying, "I have a competition in me...I want no one else to succeed." Yeah, I would have made this a full-blown TWBB parody episode. But hell, I don't know what the primary demographic is for SP these days. Is it still popular with the kids? Or has the viewing demographic increased because this show has been on for so long now? When it debuted in 1996, I was in college, and it was huge with us, but I've stuck with it, and still enjoy it at 34. I guess that not too many 13-year old texter-addicted Generation Me's have seen There Will Be Blood, eh?
-
It is a bloody shame they didn't run with the TWBB references, but then again Wendy's 'I'm finished' was so unexpected that I howled with laughter
-
Fringe does.
Incredibly badly, I might add. -
If you come into a tALKbACK, make sure you check your facts.
-
The fight was also heavily referencing the final fight in Snatch, right down to the music, movements, the freeze frames and Eric's bruises.
But I half expected Cartman to charge Wendy from behind and pound her face in after she said “I’m finished.” Because I knew Cartman’s ego would be salvaged at the end some how.
But I think the ending was more than that, it was making a point they had been leading up to all episode. All through the show, Cartman's true character was shown and ever bit of cool taken away from him. He was shown to be a spineless sniveling coward, his "clever" manipulations he used on his Mom for years didn't even give Wendy pause. He had to go crying to his momma, begged on his knees, and ate his own underwear then got his face beat in.
BUT, and this is the point I think they were making, is that fans will STILL think he is kewl and 'the man' when they have gone out of their way to show he is anything but. He can be as hateful, evil and pathetic as possible yet there are many fans who think he is kewl anyway. In fact his appeal is based on his lack of any redeeming qualities.
I think the ending was a commentary on that sort of blind devotion to a character that lives out the Id of the audience. The same thing took place with Spike on Buffy for a time. The writers were talking through Cartman to the audience at the end. “It doesn’t matter what happens you all love me so much you think I’m kewl anyway!” As long as Cartman is doing what the many audience members wish they could do and get away with, he is will be seen as kewl by many.
-
You know, in retrospect I think there may be even more to it than I said earlier. Cartman is the most popular character and yet many complain he is a one note joke. "You have to be willing to lose everything or the cancer will take everything." Maybe they are afaid of it becoming the Eric Cartman show and want to tell different stories but all they hear are people yelling for more Cartman. He sure as hell got humiliated last night, makes me wonder.
It also demonstrates how bored I am at work that I am giving this so much thought. -
I totally thought they were tipping their hat to "3 'O Clock High"...kind of in the way they did that homage to the "They Live" fight years ago.
-
Couldn't stop laughing at Cartman getting his ass kicked by a girl. HAHA FAG. lol
-
How about a Prison Break talkback once in a while? BTW Why don't they just rename the show Oceans 5?
-
It's still not as good as the cripple fight that was a direct lift from They Live. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h2SqUEvtVyI
-
was fun seeing cartman crawling, begging, humilitating himself before getting a great beatdown.
but still meh -
it was uneventful. Not much of a plot. they should have had a B story to keep things paced faster. I don't think there was enough to work with. There were some okay moments. But I think this is one of the not that great episodes.
-
Last week's episode was two jokes - Butters shooting people in the dick, Lucas/Spielberg raping Indy. That was fucking IT! 20 minutes straight. It was funny, it did make you laugh, but it was empty and repetitive. This one was, shockingly, about character development and it didn't have a out-of-this-world oh-so-shocking oddball Crab People moment. It was, actually, about the characters interacting and getting a hellova lot of millage out of it, and it even had the kids, for once, kind of acting like kids. And Cartman taking a crap on a desk, too. But good stuff all around, and it actually dealt with the reality of Cartman - he's a terrible, spoiled, bratty kid who'll do anything to win. And not just a mindless rape joke over and over. Good episode, probably one of my favourites this season.
-
everyone will think you're a faggot." Almost made me fall off the couch. God how does this show keep pumping them out?
-
I don't know what you guys are complaining about.
-
The episode should of ended on "I'm Finished" then gone into the credits with the TWBB music. As for Cartman not learning a damn thing from getting his ass kicked, well he never learns. We didnt need to see it.
-
He was hilarious getting all riled up.
-
Only a completely manipulative bastard would make a joke about breast cancer and then lie and cheat his way out of the consequences. I would hate to see what Trey Parkers brain looks like, I would imagine it is a scary yet strangely hilarious place.
-
for the first time. It was kinda like the time I let my boyfriend fuck me in the ass for the first time. I trusted him and I'm glad he had a good time but I didn't enjoy it much.
-
There were literally tons of Three O'Clock High references in this episode. I'm surprised no one else mentioned it.
