south park

Just when I thought season 20 of South Park and its various subplots were too random and wired to work together, Trey Parker and Matt Stone are starting to make it work. Episode 6 finally saw everything start to come together.

I was hoping last week’s great episode of South Park was a turning point. It was an episode that wasn’t trying to do too much and felt like it could work in any season (well maybe not early on because of the whole internet troll theme).
