Testing testing is this thing on? Yes it is thank god. Ahem, todays essay is about South Park Season 22, episode one. I will analyze it for everything good and bad about it.

The season is going strong so far, already hitting the cool topics. Cartman plays fortnite, Kenny was there for at least 2 whole minutes, not all black people have seen black panther, Token and Nicole are together again, Sharon isn’t in control of her emotions and Randy makes it worse. Of course the best part it,,,,,

FUCKING STAN OH MY GOD ARE YOU ACTUALLY SHITTING ME RIGHT NOW!? WE GET NOTHING FOR A YEAR AND THIS IS WHAT WE GET!!

No, no, no. It’s fine. I am going to make sense of this once and for all.

The new episode was good for many reasons, I thought it was funny. I was even laughing at the end with Randy and Sharon. Hell, I almost missed it.

But then that damn line. ‘Oh my god,,, really? Randy, Stans been shot’ WHIPLASH AND I'M DEAD ON SIGHT. -

SO THERE ARE OUTCOMES FOR THIS

1. Stan dies

2. Stan wasn’t even shot

3. Stan was shot, but by a water/toy gun

4. Stan got shot protecting Kyle

5. Stan doesn’t even notice he’s shot until he’s dead

NOW these are all excellent (other than fucking 1). But I could see how that would happen.

POINT NUMBER ONE= STAN DIES!! In an earlier season (fact check later), Matt and Trey were planning on killing Kyle off instead of Kenny. For the reason of ‘he’s just too similar to stan’ which granted,,, at the time he was. Now Kyles an edgy bitch but that’s for another essay. They could kill Stan off because of that,, he hasn’t had any growth since “You’re getting old” (other than minor episodes). I’m hoping that isn’t the case but who knows. Can’t kill off a main character like that, asshole

POINT NUMBER TWO= STAN WASN’T EVEN SHOT!! It could have been ‘haha lets see if my mom even cares’ (angst) or ‘lets see how bad her reaction will be’ (semi-serious) or ‘for the meme’ (shit post). Of course Sharon overreacted to everything, well, reacted the best of all the parents. While it would make sense,,,, it would also ruin the emphasis on how much Sharon cares. Which I think they’re making her the ‘caring parent’ due to the fact she CARES.

POINT NUMBER THREE= STAN WAS SHOT, BUT BY A WATER/TOY GUN!! Yeah this is a shit post. It would still be funny if it was that simple. Something to expect from Matt and Trey.

POINT NUMBER FOUR= STAN GOT SHOT PROTECTING KYLE!! Okay mostly fanservice and fluff/angst inspiring. But let’s say that was the case. Cartman was shown to care about Token enough to not let him get shot (even though Cartman shot him before). So why can’t the super best friends do that? I’m just saying it makes sense

POINT NUMBER FIVE= STAN DOESN’T EVEN NOTICE HE’S SHOT UNTIL HE’S DEAD!! Consider the following: Stan was shot, and as he lays there, dying, he’s recalling his whole life. Aka the show. You know those crazy theories of ‘Butters is telling lies to his grandchildren’ and whatnot. Then he dies in Kyle/Sharon's arms.

Just some good old angst - Thanks for coming to my TED Talk

Jeez, that new episode killed me
