User blog:CartoonFan14/Rant: Making the Case

Ive been wanting to tear up this episode since the moment I finished it the first time. I'm not gonna bother talking about the episode and how it progresses, I'm just gonna explain why it fails on such a hard level.

The characters are all pretty bad. The students are always jerks, but that doesnt mean Ill give them a pass because its in their character, if you have a character who's main trait is being jerkish, it means you messed up really bad.

Clyde was the most annoying, he couldn't shut up about hamstacam, which leads to Lincoln includung Lucy's segment in the video, and he totally ditches his BEST FRIEND when Lincoln needs him the most.

The sisters, while having a right to be angry with him, did go a bit overboard with Lucy's line, and Lisa's vengance threat, to Lana purposely re-opening doors to slam in his face, that was them crossing the line, therefore making them characters I cant sympathize with, despite the episode wanting me too.

Lincoln is pretty bad too, he isn't doing this to find a calling, or a passion, he is just doing it so he has a pointless gold trinket for show, it is a really poor motivation, and I can't understand his actions because of it. Also, he has shows he has a sense of morality, when he debates Lucy's segment, but will completely forget morality if it means more votes.

So thats the characters, also, the humor isnt funny either, its just boring bad characters for 11 minutes.

And now on to what really grinds my gears.

The girls were going overboard, but we could possibly understand that, if the episode showed them being teased, but it didn't, all it showed was them being mocked behind their back, which there is no way they could possibly know about it.

Finally, the fake out, the fake out that happens when Lincoln walks inside after posting the embarrassing compilation of him, and his sisters still look furious, this was really cruel, even if it was a prank. I mean, just look at his reaction. HAe just has the most miserable expression on his face.

All of these flaws are why the episode fails in my eyes. It's really nothing special.
