While still on the topic of Rachel and her unlikely return; say what you will about Molly, but at the very least, Molly had a personality that could be worked with and had an appealing design prior to her removal from the series. Rachel just does not have that going for her; even Mr. Bocquelet wants to forget about Rachel, claiming that she is a void in a void in the Void.

"The Party" lacks that Gumball spice the series is known for. A few jokes aside, the episode feels less like a Gumball episode and more like an episode of a generic cartoon just trying to meet the quota. The episode fails to escalate the stakes and it fails to add a comedic twist to it. I understand that it was Season 1 and the show was trying to find its footing, but when you have great episodes such as "The Quest", "The Meddler", or "The Helmet", or even episodes that were not all that great but tried something new, such as "The Robot", the episode leaves a lot to be desired.

As for the blog post involving others' request, I figured it would be fairly work extensive, which is why I planned to get to it once I am no longer obligated to know what oxidation phosphorylation is. Keeping in mind that I also intend to do an article discussing Gumball's controversy as a protagonist, individual articles discussing what makes Darwin, Carrie, and maybe a few others (depends) such good characters, and the Season 1 collab with you, it is safe to say that I will have a fair bit to do.
