User blog:AustinDR/Last Week's Episodes


 * 1) "No Such Luck": Now, this was one episode I wasn't excited about seeing at first, but I decided to give it more of a chance, more so than I could say other people did. Yes, I will say that Lincoln's punishment does get blown out of proportion towards the end, but it was partially his fault for spreading the white lie of him being bad luck, and even breaks Lori's golf clubs to demonstrate this. Now before you flame me in the comments section, I will say that I don't hate Lincoln. He isn't my favorite character from the series, but I don't hate him, nor do I try to side with the sisters. All I'm saying is that, unlike "Trash House" in which he did nothing to deserve the wrath of his sisters, in "No Such Luck," Lincoln sets himself up for a fall. With the episode I can't fully blame him; I also blamed Lynn for starting this whole dilemma because of her crazy superstitions. For one, she forces Lincoln to attend her game, and the idea probably wouldn't have occurred to Lincoln had Lynn not been spreading the claim that he was cursed. I'm sorry, but I do want to hate this episode like everyone else, but I find this episode less insulting than "Brawl in the Family." Though I do find Lisa and the parents falling for the lie a little infuriating. Especially with Lisa being a genius and all. Out of character much?
 * 2) "Frog Wild": Again, another great Lincoln and Lana episode. These two make a great duo, that I will say. This episode had me laughing for hours. The absurdity with saving the frogs and keeping them hidden from Huggins, as well as the way that Lana said "frogs" made me bust a gut. It's not as good as "Toads and Tiaras," but it does come close. With that being said, I anxiously wait for more episodes about these two.
 * 3) "Patching Things Up": It's great to see Lola and Lana getting along in this episode rather than being at each others' necks. I will also admit that Lola was tolerable in this episode. You can tell that she truly wanted to be Bluebell Scouts with Lana, even though most of the badges required her to perform tasks she finds icky and disgusting. However, I still though the side plot regarding Lincoln and Clyde trying to obtain the cookies as meaningless filler. It really contributes nothing to the episode. Maybe have it to where Lincoln wished them good luck at the beginning of the episode and then leave. This would've given more time for Lola and Lana to have the spotlight and interact more. I also feel that Clyde was more useless than usual.
 * 4) "Cheater by the Dozen": Lastly, this episode. It was hilarious, though very, very predictable. I did like how Lori appreciated her siblings' concerns even though they had nothing to worry about. Though I did take offense at her comment that she should've beat her siblings for interfering.....other than that, a pretty good episode to end the week of new episodes at least for now.
