Description
You know, it just hit me. An episode written where the main duo were presented as selfish, idiotic, sabotaging losers while the sisters were presented as (admittedly flawed but) far more heroic and cool?
I wouldn't be at all surprised if this episode was deliberately created by the writers to get back at all those fans who complained so strongly about Brawl and No Such Luck after they first came out. You know that whole issue that's been on and off for a couple of years now where some fans have been going on no end about how the sisters are scum and Lincoln is a saint, much to the dismay of some other fans, and no doubt, the people behind the making of the show.
I wonder if this episode was a big f*** you to the former group of fans who have behaved with that mentality for the past 2 years.
Not sure, to be honest. Just throwing that suggestion out there.
What I will say is this. If that hunch is actually true, then while I understand the frustration of the writers in this case... I don't believe this was a very classy or productive way of getting payback against the complainers. It just makes the main duo look terrible needlessly.
Again, as I've said, I think Clincoln McCloud could do with giving up some of its screen-time to some of the less exposed characters, but that doesn't mean I want them to be butchered like this. Lincoln and Clyde are far more virtuous characters than this. I get the episode was aiming for a slight black comedy feel, where the misfortune of the main characters was a major aspect of the plot and humour, and I realise the ending was actually preferable to them succeeding in their goals in this episode when they clearly didn't deserve it here, but how about just taking a different approach with the plot entirely? This could have been a much more worthy follow-up to Pulp Friction.
Still, it all could've been worse, and I expected worse, so... lucky, I guess?
