"Pandemic Part 2: The Startling"
Five Glorious Moments From Tonight's Episode of South Park (In No Particular Order)
1) Craig. Just... Craig. I always knew that he was hilarious, but now I flat-out adore that kid. His voiceovers were made of campy awesome, and his constant bitching was absolutely perfect. So much love, Craig Tucker. ♥
2) Kenny's survival. He hasn't died in a while, and this episode seemed like the perfect chance to off him. There's about a million different ways he could have met a messy end in the Incan tomb; thank God for Craig's timely stubbornness. And yeah, he always comes back, but I still cheer a little when Kenny makes it through the 30 minutes.
3) The boys themselves seemed really close. No one was squabbling, or taking jabs at one another. Even Cartman seemed surprisingly subdued. Maybe it's that group mentality: we can rip on each other as much as we want, but when someone else starts attacking us (namely, Craig), solidarity becomes our middle name. Whatever the reason, it was nice to see some measure of maturity from our young heroes, however fleeting.
4) Randy was being such a dick. I loved it. And poor Butters, stuck with the Marsh family during the crisis. "Oh, uh, hello." Such a good sport.
5) Two words. Guineasaurus Rex.
