This episode. Man, this episode. When I first saw the promo, I was hyped! I thought his episode would be excellent! Pulp Friction was one of my favorite episodes, and seeing the promo really gave me hope. After seeing some opinions on this episode, I was a little concerned, but I didn't think much of it, since I still had my own opinion to develop, plus I think the fandom has overreacted about episodes in the past. So, I went into this episode with an open mind, and I can safely say...

This is the worst episode of the entire season. Is it a bad episode? No. Is it good? Not really. It's just mediocre.

Let's start off with the positives. The concept was fantastic. It was a good idea to continue off of Pulp Friction, so I give the episode that. The fight scene was also really incredible. It was very well-animated, it was action-packed, and it really felt like it could build up to something. Now, that may sound like not too many positives, but given how good they were, I think they're enough to pull the episode out of "bad" territory.

Now, onto the negatives. First off, Lincoln and Clyde committing a crime for the sole purpose of becoming famous. That's just awful. Now, while these scenes were entertaining, it really just goes to show what they'd do. Then, the first half. The first half really overall just wasn't interesting. It was bland, it just moved along without much punch, and it's just very underwhelming overall. Finally, the ending. Did Lincoln and Clyde deserve to lose their crowns because of what they did? Yes. That's a positive. And do I blame the sisters for not immediately forgiving them? No. I mean, it was very selfish of them. I mean, saying sorry doesn't immediately solve everything. Actions speak louder than words. But at the same time, I almost feel bad for the guys at the end with the role they were stuck with in the movie. I never really wanted to go into a criticism like that, but I feel like I have to. Like I said, they got what they deserved, but after getting cornered and almost attacked by the Kitty, I don't think it's unfair to say that's punishment enough. Still, the ending isn't terrible, and at least they won in some regard.

Overall, I really wanted to love this episode, but I just didn't. It's not terrible, I could probably watch it again if I were forced to, but this is easily the most disappointing episode since City Slickers, although this one isn't nearly as bad. But, hey, it's human nature. Some episodes will be good, others won't be as good. I can tell there was effort put into this one, but the execution was subpar. Oh well, it happens. It could've been much worse, and at least we have new episodes this weekend to hopefully make up for it. So, yeah, one mediocre episode, not the end of the world.

Rating: 2.5/5
