I'm not really feeling the new season. The last one was much stronger imho.

oh there's no doubt in my mind that last season was stronger. This one is a BIT too topical. I wouldn't rank it anywhere among the top seasons of South Park. But I'm still enjoying myself.

I think it was Mega64 who said that South Park now is so topical and the episodes are done in such a fast time span it's more like a cartoon Saturday Night Live. Which hey it's fine by me. I still have all of the old seasons for the more episodic south park in Hulu.
 
Yeah the unexpected election results and presumably last minute rush to add in scenes to save the episode killed it for me. You could tell which scenes were hastily added and which were core to the episode's original intention so it felt like some good ideas mixed in with late additions to create a very strange episode that didn't make much sense. For example the entire Bill Clinton joke didn't really work given the election's true outcome. Preferred the last episode with the member berries scenes by a significant margin. The election results basically fucked this one. They absolutely needed more time here.

However there's still a strong element of plot that we got to see so everything regarding the story moving forward was pretty awesome and I'm hyped to see the remainder of the season and how everything plays out. This continuity is a breath of fresh air IMO reinvigorating the show after so many years and I'm loving it.

Pumped to see the last few episodes! Matt and Trey have still got it. Hope South Park goes on forever.
 
I just realised that Garrison's dilemma is the same as in Death Camp of Tolerance.

I'm enjoying the season enough and it has its highlights, the Weiners Out/Uncle Kyle/Pissing episode was best,but the current format feels very restricting. It worked last season but I'm not sure it does here. I have long had enough of Member Berries, trolls, the Dutch and some of the other ongoing gags and topics. I'm hoping they return to the looser format of two seasons ago where episodes are self contained but carry jokes and visual gags from past episodes. The excellent VR episode from that season couldn't even be done this season with the way the show has limited itself to a few narratives that are growing long in the tooth.

Yep I agree

Yeah agreed. This one seems to be trying too hard. Member Berries are pretty funny though ;)

If they don't have a clever new idea to work over a season (last season's PC=gentrification) then single issue episodes just hit harder.
 
Yea, I'm now totally on board with going back to how South Park used to be. It's funny and all, but not nearly as hilarious as previous seasons have been.
 
I did nazi that coming. But really, who is the old grape supposed to be, donovan from indiana jones 3? mobster from casablanca?

i really don't know whats going on or how anything fits in with anything else but whatever, i'll go along for the ride.
 
"Member Stormtroopers? No the real ones"

Man, where is this season going? How is JJ Abrams involved in all of it? These are the questions I need to know
