Episode Re-Review: Marks for Effort (And Important Update!)

Before we get into the re-review, I have some important and unfortunate news to share with you all. Don't worry, I'm not leaving this site or deactivating my account if that's what you're thinking. Despite not having any new pony content to indulge on given that "Tell Your Tale" seems to have no interest in building on anything from "Make Your Mark" (Allura and Twitch have done nothing of

Episode Re-Review: Non-Compete Clause

Well, the next several episodes to be re-reviewed are going to be tough to get through, many of them contain some of Season 8's worst missteps or otherwise blunders. But I gotta get through them. This episode marked the debut of yet another new writer in the form of Kim Beyer-Johnson, who among her previous writing credits wrote for Transformers: Rescue Bots, which aired on The Hub and

Episode Re-Review: Horse Play

Season 8 finally had an episode that made use of its changes to the status quo with "Surf and/or Turf", which many said was FiM tackling the trickly subject of divorce (though I personally don't see it). However, the episode also felt at times like it was more of a belated commercial for the 2017 movie rather than an actual episode, and the School of Friendship itself was only sort of relevant to

Episode Re-Review: Grannies Gone Wild

Well, Tell Your Tale finally decided to try to do something interesting, because the last episode showed Sunny's mom in a flashback. But they didn't even give her a name, let alone elaborate on what happened to her. And given the way Tell Your Tale progresses, I'm not expecting any follow-up anytime soon. Getting back to G4, Season 8 hit its first stumbling block only four episodes in, and the

R.I.P Stephen Hillenburg · 1:46am Nov 28th, 2018

It is a sad today for fans of a certain yellow sponge that lives in a pineapple under the sea. Stephen Hillenburg, the creator of Spongebob Squarepants died today due to Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis. He was 57 years old.

Originally graduating in 1984 with a degree in natural resource planning, he went on to pursue a career in animation and graduated with a degree in 1992. Stephen originally got his start writing for Rocko's Modern Life (which coincidentally starred Tom Kenny as the voice of the main character), before he launched Spongebob Squarepants in 1999 with the show becoming an overnight sensation and the biggest hit on Nickelodeon.

Stephen was involved with the show through the first three seasons and the 2004 movie, before he stepped down. The show would continue without him beginning in Season 4, and fans eventually noticed a decline in quality somewhere around the show's fifth or sixth season. Stephen eventually returned to the show around roughly Season 9, and worked on the second movie Sponge Out of Water. Just months ago it was announced that he was suffering from ALS and that he would be stepping down from the show for good.

Though I haven't gotten back into Spongebob, I have heard good things about some of the recent seasons. Stephen's legacy will live on in the chipper yellow sponge he created.

A toast and a tear, for the man who introduced us to a chipper yellow sea sponge that looks like he should be in someone's kitchen nearly 20 years ago!🍷😢 R.I.H Stephen.
