Skipping through it right now. So far, I agree with a lot of what you're saying, particularly the part about the unfortunate implications in Heavy Meddle, and that part about The Sweet Spot being way too overhated. As far as disagreements go...

Making the Case: Aside from what Lucy said, I don't think the sisters' response was out of proportion, given what Lincoln did. I wasn't even that bothered by the brief fake-out at the end, since it only lasts a moment.

Sound of Silence: I'm just gonna post this excerpt from PTTFW 5: Lori: Uh-uh. You know what? I don't feel bad about that. We were teaching him a lesson. Lincoln: What, for wanting to read my comics in peace?!

Lori: No, for pretending to be able to hear me when I was trying to talk to you, which was A, rude, and B, unnecessary. Here, let me show you what you could've done.

[Lori pretends to put in the Noise-B-Gone earbuds and reclines back on the couch, pretending to read a comic.]

Lola: Hey, Lincoln? Can I ask you a favor?

Lori: [as Lincoln] "Oh, hi, Lola. Hold on, just gimme a second."

[Lori pretends to put the comic down and take out the earbuds.]

Lori: [as Lincoln] "What's up, Lola?"

Lola: I need someone to help me practice for my pageant tomorrow afternoon. Can you do that?

Lori: [as Lincoln] "Ooh, no can do, Lola. I already made plans with Ronnie Anne."

Lola: Oh. Thanks, anyway!

[Lori pretends to put the earbuds back in.]

Lori: See?! Easy peasy!

Not to mention, what they did to him wasn't that bad. All they did was scare him into doing some chores, and that didn't even last a full day.

Ties That Bind: That fantasy Lincoln had really rubbed me the wrong way. Yes, I'm aware that his sisters can sometimes get on their nerves, but it's still kind of appalling that that's his first reaction once he hears that his sisters are being taken away from him - especially when you consider that his sisters were willing to fight for him to stay once they thought that the shoe was on the other foot.

Sleuth or Consequences: I actually quite like this episode. First, the sisters had good reason to suspect Lincoln of clogging the toilet, since he'd done it several times before. Second, it ended with what I consider to be one of Lincoln's greatest moments as a character. He willingly endures even more teasing from his sisters and takes the grounding just for Lucy's sake. It really shows what an awesome big brother he is, and how lucky Lucy is to have him.

That's all for now.
