It's going to be a good season I think.

Also with The Fractured BUTTHOLE coming out on October 17, probably will be some tie ins to that at some point.

I've never heard anything about them not doing political episodes, but I'm not sure why anyone would believe they would stop doing episodes based on current events. And pretty much anything on a current event is going to have a political aspect to it, or at least idiot goons thinking that there is some political bias to the episode.

All summer I saw posts and thinkpieces reacting to interview comments where they said they're not planning to spend much time on Trump this season. Which people interpreted as them abdicating their responsibility and chickening out, or even being afraid to alienate "South Park Republicans".

I think it's pretty clear that they just see constant reactions to Trump as a creative dead end for them. As well as being a tad soul-crushing. Nothing wrong with that.

Well... not spending time on trump doesn't mean they aren't going to have anything political in the show. They don't actually need to do much with Trump, they pretty much covered everything on Trump the last 2 seasons.

Here is a fractured but whole clip with Morgan Freeman.

Also the season leading into the stick of truth was pretty solid, pretty sure working on writing the game all year should have them in the mindset to drop some jokes.

Season 18 was hands down one of my favorite seasons in years! Maybe because it had a nice balance of the new continuity format while still telling standalone stories? Loved season 19 as well! One ongoing arc while still telling a few different stories. I don't know what happened with season 20 though. Where did it all go wrong?

Here's hoping this season is more like 18 and 19! Or 17, that was a good year too.

Season 20 was going well until they went all in on Clinton winning the election. Once Trump won it destroyed anything they were trying to do :(. But it was also probably bad trying to do a whole season based around the US election anyway.

I don't watch any of the house flipping shows, is there some joke I am not getting about Sharon being disengaged while Randy is super energetic.

It might be a house flipping joke too, but that's a South Park joke, Sharon is almost always participating but not engaged in Randy's poo poo (see the Blockbuster episode)

Last couple years I've been more or less avoiding this thread because it's usually been more negative than positive, but this episode was pretty bad. It was all over the place, and feature a bunch of jokes that weren't quite enough to build anything decent around as well as them breaking up Heidi and Cartman.

I think in the wake of the Trump election, almost one year later people were really expecting South Park to come in with some really good humor regarding the issues that are going on and instead we got a reality tv show joke, a 'robots took my job'(terk mah jerb) rehash of an old joke with nothing new to say, and a plot where a character is in a relationship that they no longer want to be in...which you could insert your own joke about the creators into here.

I'm hoping this week is a better offering. That was not a strong season opener.

As far as season openers go, the truth is it was somewhere in the middle. Season openers are rarely the best episodes of South Park.

Also, there were a lot of decent jokes and gags, even if the episode had a lovely plot and didn't really go anywhere.

I do find it funny that they hosed with a bunch of peoples Amazon Alexas with the episode as well.

drat, that was a good episode of the South Park. Top quality all the way through IMO.

The Cartman raps were pretty funny and well written and deserve plenty of respect for nailing that in voice.

I'm starting to think that South Park shouldn't have B plots.

What the gently caress is this? The B plot is completely 100% South Park and episodes don't feel the same without them.

But even beyond that, this episode completely nailed the A & B plots.

I think before everyone defends Heidi too much, she did let Kyle have the voice mail of Eric saying he was gonna kill himself. She also willingly went along with all his anti suicide stuff until Eric made it all about himself.

I suspect that Heidi will get the last laugh and own Eric really hard at some point.

I think you mean Tweek x Craig. Tweek vs Craig was the one in season 3 where everybody goads the two of them into fighting each other, even though neither of them wants to.

It's almost as if Tweek and Craig are both very easily manipulated into doing things they don't want to. Fighting or being a gay couple, they both resisted but in the end they fought and kissed?

Also, I was going to hold out and wait for a sale price, but I remembered I had some gift cards still from the holidays last year that I never bothered to use. So knocked it down to $15 for me on Amazon! Can't wait for the loving download to finish :(

OK, so who were the witches? I thought it was obvious at the end, but poking around the internet, everyone has their own take.

my 2 cents:

At first, I thought that it was about the Vegas shooting: "good" gun owners vs mass murderers.

Then I thought it was about Harvey Weinstein, and "not ALL men".

And then at the end, I thought it was a parody of Republicans: "you guys pretended to be evil monsters for so long, and now Trump has come along and actually *IS* those horrible things you pretended to be, so you created him."

What if, now bare with me here. What if they were just witches and were upset because 1 of them turned out to be an rear end in a top hat? Why does there have to be some underlining message here?
