User blog comment:SpongeGuy12/How would you make Garage Banned a better episode?/@comment-30158554-20171129122312

FDS opinion: "Main reason I don't like Garage Banned is that repeats too many plot elements from previous episodes: ◾Removing water from Homespun, ◾Lori wanted peace and time for herself like Lincoln in Sound of Silence and No Such Luck, ◾boredom montage from no such luck, ◾Lori makes her garage look bad own benefits like Lincoln did this with his room in Space Invader, ◾all siblings can't handle anything themselves without Lori like in No Guts No Glori, ◾Lori asks Mr Grouse for help and he reveals her plot like in Lock N Loud Lynn Sr. asks Mr Grouse for help and he reveals his plot.

TV Tropes calls it "they copied it and it sucks". I don't think it's a bad episode, but average, because I felt like I'm not watching anything original. Only good thing I saw there was Lana seeking comfort in Lori's arms, because she had a bad dream."
