User blog:DeKrogMination/Kroggu's Review - The Heist

Hey guys, DeKrogMination A.K.A Krog A.K.A Kroggu here.

I never thought I would write an episode review in my life before, but I find this recent episode of TAWoG to be so disappointing I have to express how I feel about the episode.

The episode in question is...

The Heist.

I find this episode to be the most disappointing episode that I watched. I may found The Ex rather lucklaster, but not as bad as this. I thought the story was going to be the Wattersons pulling an out-of-this-world heist, which sounds realy cool in my opinion...

But no.

Instead, we get served with Richard leaning on his dumber side unknowingly steal money from the bank, and the family tries to bring the money back without getting arrested.

This episode had potential to be cool, but CN wasted it and took a wrong turn instead.

The episode's plotline is very rushed, and handled very poorly. The cops portayed here are really useless to the point I really relate to Larry a lot at the situation.

The family's characterizations were also handled poorly on the episode, the biggest offender being Nicole. Although her "reverse-heist" idea was pretty interesting, I don't like her character being derailed from the "straight and sane" woman to the "greedy and crazy" woman. The Watterson kids' roles aren't helping either, and felt like they're aren't important to the story at all.

The "imagine spots" are rather bizarre to, special mention goes to Richard's (and this is the point where I snapped like Filthy Frank when he was ranting about "being born in the wrong generation"), which buries the money somehwere then plants a rather obvious "money is here" sign under it. He was arrested and gets thrown into prison. He managed to escape the prison... using sporks. Years later, he managed to escape, which is timed exactly with his bailout. Then he goes to said place to check on the money... which was stolen by his own family. He goes back to his household, only to find his family has spent his "hidden" money over luxurious stuff. And then we see the future Wattersons... absolutely bizarre. The family seems like to parody the stereotypical rich white people, but I feel like the way they portayed is really, uh, weird. And don't get me started with the overly-exaggerated facial expressions of the family. The scene would have been better if they don't have those expressions.

Although the episodes managed to pull out some good jokes, like when we thought the police were pulling out a roadblock to stop Richard, they were actually playing with toy policecars in the front of the bank, much to Larry's dismay.

So yeah. In conclusion, The Heist is the most disappointing episode that I watched in Season 5, and possibly the whole series. And I'm surprised I managed to hate an episode of it as I like most of the S5 episodes, even with the much-reviled The Diet.

That's what I have to say for now. Kroggu, signing out.
