Hilarious. Overall, a good plot-filling episode. I loved the furry woodland creatures. The voices they gave them were awesome, as were characters such as Jason. I was hoping Al Gore would show up during the attack of ManBearPig. Ending with Cartman waiting by Kyle’s bedside, this episode truly rocks. Your thoughts? ---

I loved all the different references they snuck into this one. I will admit to a certain disappointment that Middle-Earth had no representation. 😉 The Star Gate parody was great. The return of the Satanic Woodland creatures and the heavily setup line of “I would hate to meet the kid that imagined those animals” cracked me up. Jim ---

Man, the minute I saw that Squirrel, I knew that they were bringing back the Woodland Critters. That was gold! I liked Cartman’s kingly robes while he prepared for the ball sucking. ---

So is Kyle going to wriggle out of the ball-sucking contract because he was temporarily dead? An early episode of _Star Trek: TNG_ rested on such a plot point. ---

One part that was a bit confusing. How is Jesus an imaginary character, exactly? I mean in the South Park world. He lives in South Park, has a cable access show, and the boys have met him numerous times. He’s no more imaginary to South Park than Butters is. ---

This is the same show where Jesus died save Santa, isn’t it? Then he showed up again. Jim ---

[/QUOTE] They had Jack Skellington as one of the good imaginary characters in the first part, IIRC. At any rate, [he doesn’t look anything](http://www.daviesgeneralstore.com/ebay/jack_bust.jpg) like the Hheadless Horseman. Also, did anyone else think the whole Kyle dying and being resuscitated scene was lifted directly from _The Abyss_? It’s been a while since I’ve seen that movie, but it reminded me of it. –FCOD ---
