It looks like this season of South Park is off to a strong start, aside from the first two weak episodes (Sex Addiction/ Scrotie McBoogerballs), the last three eps have been actually good This episode was especially good, high points; the whole “can we show Mohammed” thingy “we showed him a few years ago and nothing happened” and the debate over what is considered “showing” “Mo”, I just wonder if the “censored” gag was done on purpose, or if ComCentral was chickening out again Making fun of Cruise again him “packing fudge”, and his Oprah-Couch-Antics, and the callback to the “I’ll sue you” gag in the scientology episode, with all the maligned/ridiculed stars getting in on the action The return of the Ginger Kids, and them being an actual “terrorist cel” (wonder if the Police chief is a sleeper Ginger himself…) “Mr Hat” and “Mitch/Hennifer Lohpez” discussing Cartman’s paternity I really liked the redesign of MechaStreissand Ver. 2.0, even though I personally can’t stand “Babs”… And finally, the return of the Cliffhanger Ending, I’m expecting Matt and Trey to draw this one out for a while So, to rehash an old episode, “who is Cartman’s father?!?” ---

Hmm, something tells me that next week’s episode will be the long-awaited Terence and Phillip opus “Asses of Fire 2!” (or “Not Without My Anus 2”)… ---

I greatly enjoyed all if the call backs that they did. I particularly laughed when Stan described how they ended up kilometers the giant Abraham Lincoln. It is just so ridiculous, especially when said out loud. I’m excited too see the Gingers again. ---

Other minor predictions; the “Automatic Weapons” Cruise sends Speilberg for will turn out to be _walkie-talkies_ Kenny will die (by Mecha-Streissand 2.0 probably) Mecha-Ike 2.0 will battle M-S 2.0 to the death The “Cartman’s Father” thread will either be dragged out for two to three episodes or left unresolved ---

> [@MacTech](#): > > Other minor predictions; > The “Cartman’s Father” thread will either be dragged out for two to three episodes or left unresolved There will be a recursive loop where somehow Cartman’s Hand, Mitch [somethingorother], pretending to be Jennifer Lopez, is actually Cartman’s father. See, Cartman’s Mom thought she was having hot lesbian sex with a female pop star…before she was a pop star…(i dunno, would Cartman have been conceived before Selena came out?) but it turns out it wasn’t hot lesbo sex, it was straight sex with a guy, who is really a hand, that is really the hand of the guy he fathered. Don’t think about it too much, your head might explode. ---

I figured there simply won’t be a part 2, the next new one will completely ignore this episode. ---

> [@Revtim](#): > > I figured there simply won’t be a part 2, the next new one will completely ignore this episode. I don’t mean to single you out, but there seems to be a lot of people thinking this. And why Because they did it _once._ One time they did it with the original Cartman’s Father episode, and did a silly “Terrance and Phillip” thing, so now _every_ time there is a two-parter, people go “They’ll just ignore this and pretend it didn’t happen like always.” And yet, every other two-parter has a conclusion. “Cartoon Wars” “Imagination Land” The one with the giant guinea pigs The one where Cartman wants a Wii and goes to the future Hell, even the Cartman’s father one got a conclusion when everyone got all pissy about it. ---

So much so that they parodied it in the first Mohammad/Family Guy set. I was about to be upset. Still was that there was so little Family Guy in it. ---

I didn’t like this at all. They just rehashed all the good stuff from the past and crammed it all into this episode. It’s like they’re admitting they’ve run out of ideas. ---

Which is funny, because I’m pretty sure one of the characters said something similar in the beginning of the episode. Still, South Park’s been on for what? 13? 14 seasons now? It was kind of nice to have a “tour” of all the classic South Park episodes as a sort of milestone. ---

Those all said “to be continued” at the end. This one promised no continuation or part 2. It just ended. Having said that, I think it’s more likely than not that they’ll conclude it. They got too much flak the last time, and it wouldn’t be funny to repeat the same gag. Mr. Garrison did say that Cartman’s real dad was in the room last time, so that’s something to go by. I’d guess Satan, but I can’t remember if he was in the room. I 'm pretty sure Jesus was, though. ---

Officer Barbrady, Chef, Jimbo, Mr. Garrison, Ned, Chief Running Water, Gerald Broflovski, Mephesto, his hench-something Kevin, 1989 Denver Broncos, Ms. Cartman, Cartman, Stan, and Kyle are in the room at the end of “Cartman’s Mom Is a Dirty Slut”. ---

I’ll bet it’s Chef, (now Darth Chef), and I think **MacTech** is right about Kenny dying. Since this is all rehashing some of the things South Park’s been most known for. I wonder if they wont get the Catholic church involved too. Just because the episode seemed to be about people South Park’s offended or ripped on. Not just famous people. They did say they promised Jesus what was ok to do with Muhammad, to which Randy replied “Jesus doesn’t matter when dealing with Muhammad”. I’m not sure about the Catholic church though, but I’ve got a feeling about Darth Chef, (by extension the Super Adventure Club/ Scientology), and Kenny dying. I hope to hear a **standard** ; “Oh my God! They killed Kenny” ---

I also think there should be so much turmoil in South Park that’s it gets national attention. It’s to the point where there looks to be what looks like some sort of relief effort, with past presidents and members of both parties behind him, Barack Obama speaks on behalf of all of government to tell the town to ‘go screw itself’. ---

Maybe Cartman’s Dad is Gerald B. Which would make Cartman half-Jewish. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/south-park-4-14-200/536231.md?page=2)
