The new animation style is way too busy for me - the characters move too much when they're not speaking. It's OK to have the occasional blink, but now the blinking and movement is super-frequent and it's distracting.

Did Cartman's voice sound off to anyone else?

What what the last line? I heard the newscaster tell about closing the DMV, then the Post Office, then the DVR cut off because for some reason Comedy Central can't match the show running time with the schedule.

It kind of sounded like Trey's voice was giving out a little bit so maybe they just recorded a whole lot of stuff and it was showing in Cartman's voice.

I got a laugh out of some of the leadup to the premiere both online and on TV being sponsored by GTA V. South Park and Grand Theft Auto: a concerned parents' group's nightmare pairing.

Hasn't Cartman's voice been digitally manipulated for a while now? I can do a rough impression of season 1 Cartman and it's not easy on your throat.

Yeah, hearing the vocal recordings being done on 6 Days to Air is awesome. That whole docu is, so if you haven't seen it - change that.

Really? I feel like there's been very little buzz about it both online and what I've seen IRL. Even this thread seems to be going a bit slower than in the past. Good news to hear, all the same.

What was the significance of the young-boy-molestation stuff at the end of the episode? As an unwashed european, I don't quite catch every single current event, but not knowing the background make it feel kinda...out of nowhere.

If I remember correctly they gave up doing the tight deadlines and have planned out and done the episodes. Which I think works. I wish they would stop trying to do current political stuff, with a nice dose of the truth is in the middle. The season when stans parents split up was great. I would like to see more character driven episodes or maybe some parody. Hell tie this season into the upcoming game

There's even another South Park episode - Red Hot Catholic Love - about the Church's efforts to deal with the troubling problem of trying to figure out how to stop sexual abuse of children.... being made public.

Okay, for some reason, I must have completely zoned out during the entire last minute of the show, only paying attention for the last line the newscaster says. But yeah, had I paid attention, that would have been about as subtle as a sledgehammer to the face. Wish I'd been fully awake for that.

Revol posted:Stan, Kyle and Cartman all are, along with a few of the other kids I'd think. Stan and Kyle sound the same as they always did. Cartman has been way different the past 3 seasons or so. Season 1 Cartman was unintelligible, but recent Cartman is nowhere near traditional Cartman.

There were a couple episodes within the last couple seasons which had an old episode feel (less current event or pop culture-driven, less preachy). I wish they'd do that more.

I don't mind the current event or pop-culture episodes so long as they stick to lampooning everything and don't try to tack on some preachy bullshit.

The thing I think that bothered me on a second viewing is trying to figure out what the gently caress they were actually trying to say with the Cartman plot at the end. Were we supposed to actually side with the NSA because Cartman was an rear end in a top hat? I mean they were torturing loving Santa Clause. I mean it honestly felt kind of like "Whistle blowers are dicks, right??" as the whole point. It felt like they were trying to strawman the gently caress out of Cartman, only to have him turn out to be right. Maybe that's not what they were going for. The show doesn't have to have a message, but this one felt like it was trying to say something and kind of mumbling. The Butters plot was the only part that was pretty hilarious/clear. EDIT: Also it seemed to be an attempted Snowden parody but I never got any of that vibe off Snowden. He feels like someone that bumbled into something and felt he had to expose it. It's like they mixed him and Wikileaks up.

I didn't think there was a message that episode. They've never really been subtle about messages, and this one just kind of had nothing. Maybe it was that Americans are idiots.

I rather like the NSA segments being riffs on the old TV show Dragnet, including Chief Joe being a perfect send-up of Joe Friday. As for the show's view of the NSA's activities, just think: how much of what you do on a daily basis is really interesting enough for the NSA to pursue? And then consider 300 million citizens: there's a less than 1% chance that you'd be of any interest to the NSA, as Cartman found out. Matt and Trey were saying that the majority of us don't need to worry about the NSA: our lives just aren't worth tracking. We tracked him for a little bit, but Central Computer designated his status as "fat and unimportant."

Whenever they're doing something that might completely bomb, I'm glad they know to make it a Randy episode. That makes it automatically a good episode.
