User blog:AustinDR/Episodes I Like While Other Fans Don't

A divisive list for sure, but keep in mind, this is all my opinion. Given the nature of this list, the more controversial episodes will be omitted.

1. Making the Case: OK, this is one of those episodes in which Lincoln deserved the punishment he received in this episode. I get that he wanted to get an award for once especially when his sisters win countless awards already (I mean, even the baby somehow got an award for thumb sucking. What?). Sometimes I feel that I get screwed over regardless of all the time and effort I put into everything, but Lincoln takes this too far by secretly recording his sisters' embarrassing moments ergo making them laughingstocks. With his sisters shunning him...to me, it was pretty reasonable. I mean, he took advantage of their privacy all so he could win an award. You can't tell me that you wouldn't shun your sibling if they did something like that to you. Besides, I found several funny moments in this episode, and Lincoln is actually given a type of award for owning up to his mistake.

2. Save the Date: Thought this was an okay episode. Even though it was littered with clichés and contrivances, I did like the dynamic between Ronnie Anne and Lincoln. Nowadays, I don't really care whether or not they're a "couple" as I'm now leaning towards the side of ambiguous. If anything, while I feel that they work better as friends, keep in mind that Lincoln has had more chemistry with Ronnie Anne than I could definitely say for someone like Paige. As for the rest of the episode, it was fine. I hated that Lori forces Lincoln to attend the double date without his consent, I hated how Clyde was a useless character in this episode who tried to sabotage the double date even when he knew that Lincoln's life was on the line, and some of the running gags got old fast. While I personally believe that the events of "LIFL" take place before "STD," even if the latter isn't true, I wouldn't call what Lincoln was doing in that episode "cheating." Keep in mind that it's wholly possible for a boy around Lincoln's age to like other girls, and we never actually get to find out what he had written in the letter. For all intents and purposes, the situation is pretty ambiguous. Oh yeah, that reminds me: I'll need to make a blog discussing Bobby and Lori.

3. No Guts No Glori: It was an okay episode; not great, not bad, just okay. There were several moments in the episode that made me laugh one in particular being Lola hitting Lincoln with the golf club and tying him up. I also liked the episode for how Lincoln and Lori work together to reclaim dominion over the house. Goes to show that Lori isn't all that bad.

4. 4x Loud House: Here, I thought the fighting was more believable: the kids fight over money which makes sense. When you're sharing a house with ten sisters, of course there'd be some shortages of money. Besides, they learn to share money at the end. In addition, the humor was exaggerated ergo making it more hilarious to me. It's always something so mundane that makes me laugh.

5. April Fools Rules: Once again, I was impressed by how much level of thought Luan places into her pranks when April Fools' Day comes a-knockin. She could practically give the Joker a run for his money. I also thought it was sweet how Lincoln takes all of the pranks meant for Ronnie Anne even though she was really fine.

6. Heavy Meddle: While I get that the girls can get too nosy in their brother's life, it's one of those times that show that they truly care for their brother. I mean, they threatened to beat up the wrong person whom they thought was bullying Lincoln, but it's the thought that counts. As for Lincoln getting punched in the eye....guys, Lincoln went up and kissed the bully. He kissed a total stranger. How would you think the bully (revealed as Ronnie Anne) would react to this? Don't tell me you wouldn't do the same if some total stranger laid a wet one on your lips.

7. Making the Grade: Like I have said previously, it was partially Lincoln's fault for what happened to him throughout the episode. He convinces Lisa to be an average girl which in turn leads him to unprecedented consequences. True there was that one infamous scene of Lincoln getting kicked out of Vanzilla, but even then, I never felt repulsed by what was happening to Lincoln.

8. Tattler's Tale:' As much as I love to call Lola a sociopath, what many overlook is how she deliberately takes all of her siblings' punishments because she realized that she went about the wrong way with socializing with them. I also loved the episode for how devious Lola could be.

9. The Loudest Yard: Lincoln was lazy in this episode, to the point he couldn't be bothered to exercise or get fresh air outside. With the ending, here's the thing: the episode establishes that Lincoln had little to no knowledge on football, so him scoring for the wrong team makes some sense. He exploits Lynn, tasking her with taking his place in the games, basically lying to his entire family. For that, I felt that it wasn't out of the way for Lincoln to lose at the end of the episode.
