User blog comment:Mattalamode/A Second Opinion: Gumball Wiki Individual Appeals: Part I.5/@comment-30307603-20170916030253

In retrospect, I probably should have left my feelings toward "The Grieving" and its quality out of my explanation. Looking back at it, it makes the comment come across as mean-spirited toward a fan that tried her best despite the subpar quality. Who wants one individual to be relentlessly mocked in front of an audience of millions? I digress, though. That does not change the fact the joke involving "The Grieving" was still bad due to the fact it drags out for far too long. I get it, the writers wanted to create a faux-tension, but the fact tha it takes forty-five seconds to get to the point is a problem. Honestly, the joke would have worked better if they played it straight and had the announcer speak at a faster pace.

When I say that "The Compilation" is the worst (if not, one of the worst) episodes from the season, it is more of a testament to the quality of Season 4 than anything. Like I said before, "The Compilation" was a mediocre episode at worst in my opinion, and the fact that I perceive it as the worst is an indication of the high regard I hold for Season 4. However, if "The Compilation" is not the worst episode in the season, then it is definitely "The Crew" or "The Apprentice", both suffering from being terribly mundane, but not outright awful.
