South Park - "Pandemic" - Talkback [10/22]

This episode is the prime example for why I rarely watch SP any more, the plots are interchangeable, example; the boys are annoyed or consumed by something, the government gets involved, lather-rinse-repeat. Plus, like someone else said, I never even heard of a peruvian pan-flute band. The Cloverfield parody is considerably late in terms of relevance. ...plus, the Indy episode, took an already annoying thing, people *****ing about Crystal Skull, and stretched it out to a full story, and again not very relevant now. Hell, most people I knew forgot about that movie within the same weekend of it's opening.
 
Too bad. I didn't like the first half but the second half more than made up for it. Mainly I like Craig's dead pan delivery and commentary on why the main 4 are so unpopular.

O-chan
 
It's about time somebody gave the back of their hand to the whole Blair Witch/Session 9/Cloverfield/Quarantine pseudo-documentary shaky-cam what-the-hell-is-happening-can't-see-a-damn-thing style of filmmaking.

The giant guinea pigs were the best money shot since "Scott Tenorman Must Die".

Which aliens will it be this time? It's been a while since we've seen the Craaaaaaab Peeeeeople!, maybe they'll make a comeback next week. This is their type of scam.
 
Actually according to the Press release:

This is only a two part epsiode. So it won't be a three part Imagination Trilogy DTV style saga but more of a two part epsiode. Actually thinking about this is the first time all the four boys have been the focus of a two parter since... well season four actually. All the other two parters and even "Imaginationland" had them either in segments or just one or two ("Go God Go" was really just Cartman for exmaple) so should be interesting to see if they can keep that dynamic for the next part as well which yeah will be a featuring a Randy subplot that paroides Cloverfield even more so.
 
I'm entirely the opposite. I thought the first half was better than the second half. For me the episode started to go downhill the second the Government got involved.

I really hope part two is an improvement,
