  • I still think the best stuff was the vaccine special and when they went into the future. Particularly the stuff when they went into the future. It felt like a genuine “special event” and not just South Park episodes that were longer

    This one was good, but I still think the peak was them going into the future and Cartman being a Jewish rabbi etc… And I think the pandemic and vaccination specials were both great but one of them was on HBO so I guess it depends on how you’re measuring it.

    Streaming wars was probably the most forgettable of the specials


  • I mean South Park episodes almost always have rushed endings. It’s a cartoon that wraps up entire stories in anywhere from 22 to 44 minutes.

    I try not to overthink it. There are exceptions though and I guess if there’s ever going to be an exception it should be on these special events on Paramount.

    But we know they’re writing process and they point out themselves that they usually have to basically haul ass just to finish an episodes story.

    I think I guess I’m just so intimate with the way they produce these shows that I kind of expect things to be a little rushed

    There are exceptions like imagination land which was written way in advance, and I think some of the stuff where they went into the future was pretty well carved out.

    Streaming wars felt pretty rushed to me
