It doesn't get much dumber
Blah blah blah filler blah blah, nobody cares. So I'll keep this review short.
You know that a plot has been recycled when they mention the recycling within the episode. I guess that even so, they thought that the plot was old enough that they could get away with it. However, clearly this hasn't gone over well among the fans around here. Oops, writers.
There are also times when you remember that half of the show's target audience is six-year-olds. When that happens you just have to turn away and let the characters have heart attacks over a fever. Which brings me to another point: the gang has been traveling around for this long, and Takeshi is still the only one who knows first aid? I'd think that would be the first thing you learn when you start your journey, but apparently I'm wrong.
Gliscor...he's one controversial little critter at this point, so I won't share my opinions on him. I will say that whatever character development he started getting has gone well out the window now. The poor guy is more of a running gag than anything else, and while his puppy-dog eyes do amuse, there's not much purpose to him.
When the characters weren't fussing over a mildly ill squirrel, they were running around being cutesy-wutsey and having a wonderful time, which is fine, but when it's exactly the same IN EVERY OTHER EPISODE...it gets tiring. That and the forced moral about arguing made this a real stick-your-fingers-down-your-throat episode. Hopefully we won't have to sit through this next week.
