This episode was a brilliant start to a long anticipated season without a doubt. I'm a hardcore fan and I was not disappointed. The political satire is turned up a few notches and I couldn't help snicker at the attack on the Overly PC group.
I'm seeing a lot of hate for the new character PC Principal because he is honestly quite obnoxious but I think that's the point here people. This over-the-top PC stuff can be extremely annoying and SP has made us feel that quite expertly.
Eric Cartman is literally beaten to submission and that was so uncomfortable to watch because No one beats Cartman at anything! Again that was the point I think. That the in-your-face PC people will (figuratively) beat you to a pulp if you even try to oppose or debate their views.
Kyle is targeted as a main opponent of *insert ridiculous PC mini speech here* and in the end he relents in order to stop the fighting. My jaw dropped at this. I could not believe what was happening. But as a die hard fan I know that that feeling invoked in me was intended. I know that this will not end well for the PC group because this is South Park.
If you find yourself thoroughly annoyed by PC Principal and more than a little upset and confused by the time the episode ends, then it was a success. Trey Parker is telling a story here. Be patient and watch it unfold. I want to see more of PC Prinicpal, he is ridiculous and annoying and I'm pretty sure he will fall spectacularly.
