User blog:AlexKawa/Episode Review: Snow Way Down

Alright, everyone, welcome back to another review! Today, we are going to be looking at Snow Way Down. So, this is my third episode review, and it, spoiler alert, will be my most positive one yet. So, Snow Way Down. Good or bad? Well, very good!

Basically, the plot of the episode is that Lincoln and the McBrides go on Winter vacation. On the trip, Lincoln gets an inside look into how overprotective Clyde's dads are. Already off to a good start; this episode is giving Lincoln a much-deserved break from the chaos in his daily life. Don't get me wrong, I love watching the everyday antics of the Loud family, but it's nice to see Lincoln get a break from all of this. What I also like about this episode is how Clyde goes through denial when Lincoln tries to tell him about how overprotective his parents are. It seems like Clyde knows they're going too far, but just doesn't want to admit it because he knows they mean well. When Clyde becomes convinced of this, and his dads still won't let go, he stands up to them and decides to prove himself on his own. When he earns their trust, they let go finally, well, to some extent. We'll get to that in a second. I think this episode did a great job of portraying this cycle. That's not to say it's the only reason I liked it. There were a few legitimately funny jokes. I honestly loved the lengths Howard and Harold went through to keep Clyde and Lincoln safe; what with buying mattresses and bubble wrap. I also liked the beef bourguignon/gym membership joke; that kind of joke, the one where two characters think they're gonna die, so they confess something to one another, but they survive and then confront each other about their secrets, is one of my favorite jokes in T.V. Probably the funniest part of the episode was the ending, where Howard faints despite there being no setup whatsoever. What I've always liked about The Loud House was how the transitions from everything going well to "this isn't good" are so abrupt. It's no different here; this was really funny. I also like how they're not rushing to let go, but taking it one step at a time, regardless of how big that step may be. This is another good part about The Loud House; they never try to rush anything on you all at once. Overall, this was a very good episode, and I highly recommend it.

Rating: A-

What episode should I review next? In the meantime, here's my previous review. Peace out!
