Just a thought. If P&S are tired of doing the show, couldn't they hand it off to a team they deem worthy? I'm sure there are plenty of people, including some members of this site, who would jump at the chance.

[up]One—they, personally, are under contract to go at least two more years. Two—they've said in multiple interviews that they still love the show and people took "You're Getting Old" way too seriously.

Maybe you'd be less disappointed if you stopped expecting things to be Carmen Sandiego movies.

That sounds like a fast path to a shark-jump. I got the impression that the show has pretty tight creative control from the top, and Matt & Trey aren't just sipping lattes and supervising.

I'm a regular (/real?) autistic, not Asperger, but I tend to find things that others do not very disturbing... and being confused a lot... and finding deceit extremely unsettling... so I try to make sense of it... which some others apparently find depressing... often the same people who produce media with concepts that I find crushingly depressing. We seem to have very very different ways of processing input basically.

I mostly interact with kind and harmless anime-interested autistic online though, so I didn't know that it was common to other autistic than myself? I mean, Julian Assange (Booh! Hiss! Diplomacy-attacker!) claimed that most hackers are "a little bit autistic" (I'm not sure if that is possible), but I'm not just "a little bit" autistic.

Also, Matt and Trey usually help to cheer me up, or help me understand how to think more positive, and generally seem like nice people, so I'm sorry if I or others like me have caused them any pain. sad

However, I am a very unusual autistic, and not representative for anybody except myself, nor do I understand the whole "organisation" part.

Speaking for myself, I'm just independently randomly processing whatever nausea-inducing input that is thrown my way as a mental self-defence mechanism from negative media overload, and have almost uniformly done very limited random and obscure posts, compared to enormously more prolific, extreme, and genuinely amoral mainstream works, so why the focus on autistic as a specific scapegoat?

I'm an idealist who gets depressed and overwhelmed from too much very extreme and malicious input, not the other way around. I love healthy, happy, uplifting, ethical, sane, beautiful, kind, and constructive things, and find these kinds of creators amazing for being able to create them.

I recognise that I'm probably just being paranoid about every little thing again. The Internet and society at large are both enormously big places after all, so why should everybody happen to stumble across me in particular? And it is far more likely that they refer to Assange, who probably isn't even autistic, or something in that vein.

Is there actually some sort of underground organisation that I don't know about, or was that just made up as a joke? And even if there is, why would they generalise and say that these are representative for the vast majority who are not? Also, severe depression is not the same as autism, but if autistic are not activated and trained to compensate, the monotony can eventually lead to severe depression, similarly to how it would affect nearly anybody else. I sympathised with Stan in this story, as I also feel overloaded by the darkness in media or online, don't see the point of it, much prefer nice things, and am trying to learn how to think more positive.

Well, that was one depressing episode. You know, I don't think I need the whole thing go back to the way it was, but could they at least make it funny again?

[up] I didn't find that episode depressing at all, and thought it was pretty darn funny. The ending was a bit of a dark kinda funny comparatively, but I liked it.

So, who else watched "Six Days to Air"?

Who else was disappointed that things like storyboarding and voice pitching and other stuff were given brief mention so they could spend more time talking about The Book Of Mormon and the show's early days? Seriously, if you're going to make a documentary about the making of the show and you're using filler even though there's dozens of steps in production you could be talking about, you're doing it wrong.

[up][up][up][up][up][up] I wish I had a response. A rebuttal. Something to add. But I don't. But I'd like to say that was one of the most intelligent, well thought-out posts I've seen on a forum in quite some time.

Anyway, I like it when there's drama mixed in with my comedy. So last episode was fantastic to me. I'm a little disappointed that they didn't do their typical take-no-prisoners satire on aspergers (I was hoping they'd be harsher), but it was still fantastic.

Just watched it. Giggled at the Life Of Brian ref. There was some really good moments ("NOBODY'S SCREAMING, CRAIG!", "Then I inadvertently won the game," "I actually don't speak Mexican", "It did take you two and a half weeks to cross the border..."), but the bits with Butters taken in by those rich people dragged horribly. It was just one joke over and over. "They think working makes him happy", hahaha.

And I just finished learning about immigration in my Sociology class so this episodes was even more humerous to me than usual.

Just watched both new episodes. They were kinda funny, but I've noticed this season has relied on some especially non sensical plots and is now nearly 100% Narm Charm. It's still somewhat entertaining but I think it is passing it's prime.

The Ass Burgers episode was decently done. We knew everything would just recon back by the end, so they just went with that idea and applied it with a cynical touch. I wish they hadn't downplayed the revelation of Cartman's 'secret ingredient' though, I was waiting in great anticipation to see Kyle's grossed out reaction.

[up] South Park's plots have been nonsensical since 1996, and I wouldn't have it any other way.

Yeah, but as of recently the wit that made that lack of sense amusing is starting to fade and it's just characters being hammy and making satirical metaphors all the time.

Newest episode came on. Wow, they're not just parodying Rankin/Bass Hobbit songs now, they're flat out ripping them off. (Go Lemmiwinks! Stop Wikileaks!)

I loved this episode. I like how Season 15 is bringing back so many old characters like Lemmiwinks, Ugly Bob, Scott the Dick, and Mr Tuong Lu Kim.
