Snow Tubing
Episode 211

Rigby going for his GED? That's good character development there.
 
I just looked up the girl who did the voice of Apple. She's an Asian female rapper named Awkwafina. I was gonna post her Youtube page, but turns out she makes Ke$ha look like a preteen Bieber, so I'd just say google at your own risk. Kinda funny CN would would let an artist like that on one of their shows. Great episode though.
 
I enjoyed Hello China. Just seemed very different with it being Benson and Rigby in another country as opposed to Mordecai and Rigby. I like how in the end Rigby was able to pass and him and Benson home, despite it looks like Rigby's not done with school yet. I think we'll see him get that final credit cause otherwise he doesn't get his diploma. Wish we got to see Benson's reaction to his food. I think the part I enjoyed most was Rigby flashing back to how he got to China.
 
"Crazy Fake Plan" was alright, nothing too special but a decent Rigby/Eileen episode. It's funny how Eileen figures out where Rigby takes her out too (even though they were obvious to figure out, I mean the telescope sorta gave away the one place and so did the English detective suit). The episode did drag a little with the montage of places they weren't going to, but now that I think about it the plan still would've worked if Rigby had them go to the biker ambush right from the start (but that would be a super short episode). But overall decent episode, I missed "Hello China" but from what I heard it sounds interesting.
 
Oh boy, did I enjoy "Win That Prize". It's nice having a Pops episode again, but this was a really crazy episode. Pops goes to TV studio to be on game show, gets swept in the world of TV management and subsequently becomes the president of the studio, and plots this entire escape plan complete with makeup effects. I like the spoofs of current TV shows and trends, and the supporting characters like the makeup guy were pretty funny. The animation was also pretty great, especially the dynamic scenes in the president's room. That ending was also great. Probably my favorite episode of this bunch.
 
Anyone think Crazy Fake Plan could have been even better if we (the audience) didnt know what the surprise was until the end as well?
 
^Kinda, I think Maddie Queripel and Alex Cline are the show's weakest writers right now. It's a shame cause Queripel had a chance to be an awesome when she started off, but now she is responsible for my least favorite episode (which was in season 5). I'll talk more about her writing problems below.

Anyways, I loved Hello China because it's a do something different episode which we need to see more of and not rely on recycling plots. Benson and Rigby were well written here and I loved the rap sequence. Toby Jones and Owen Dennis are almost constant in their episodes they get paired up (except Paint Job and The Dome Experiment Special).

Crazy Fake Plan was adequate. The pacing and the execution of its plot felt so sluggish that it bothered me about the whole "wanting to find out the real plan." Madde and Alex, you two really need improvements in your episodes. Write more episodes like The Parkie Awards cause that one felt like an old episode. And folks, am I the only one that doesn't care about Rigleen at all? It never been a big deal for me to begin with.

Win That Prize was also a letdown. I loved that Pops got to carry an episode all by himself without Mordecai and Rigby helping him, but the execution was off as well. It confuses me with the whole plot and it made the whole title very misleading. You thought it was gonna be a gameshow episode, only to be about Pops accidentally be part of another show. While it's nice to have a Pops episode, I think the writers had explored the TV world in Regular Show enough already (That My Television, Carter and Briggs, and more). Sorry Calvin and Casey (and Crowe, this is your weakest episode so far).

Snow Tubing looks good based from the promo, so hopefully it'll be as great as Hello China.
 
Snow Tubing was pretty good. Reminds me of the time I went to Sugar Mountain.
 
"Snow Tubing" wasn't that bad, and a little better than "Crazy Fake Plan" but not by much. I loved the snow tube down the mountain towards the end but the rest of the episode was a little boring. Eileen's overreacting was kind of annoying (though I like the whole scar thing she made a big deal about) and Mordecai and Margaret didn't have much to do in the episode anyway (when it comes to these Eileen/Rigby episodes at least). Overall, this was a decent week of new episodes, still I have yet to see "Hello China", but out of all these I thought the best was "Win That Prize" while my least favorite had to be "Crazy Fake Plan".
 
I was really hoping they'd finish Rigby's school arc before the week was up. Oh, well.

Gotta wait another month, I guess...
 
Crazy Fake Plan - An okay episode to me. I liked that Rigby was able to pull off the surprise and ruin Eileen's streak of guessing [immediately]. I'm not sure if I'm really surprised at how things went considering Rigby planned it all. I did like the biker idea and he kept up reactions well with the bikers. I could imagine in the future she'd guess if he were to ever propose to her.

Win That Prize - I too am a little disappointed by the title and that we didn't actually get to see Pops on the game show, but just having an episode about Pops made it better. Got to see a nice sneaky side of his and his escape.

Snow Tubing - I think I enjoyed this one the most. I like that all 4 of these episodes this week except for quick moments avoided seeing the park, and a nice getaway to do snow tubing brought some fun moments. I share some sentiments with Eileen in regards to fear from her fear of tubing to my somewhat fear of heights. I wasn't liking the idea of some years ago being on roller coasters but to this day have been on a handful despite nervousness each time.
 
Snow Tubing was good. Glad that it showed Rigby and Eileen's relationship without romance. The hill for "experts" looks like fun and I want to go on it.
 
Wikipedia says Donut Factory Holiday aired today. i'm guessing that's incorrect?

I didn't watch CN last night but my guess is no and that wiki is incorrect - otherwise I'm sure a talkback here would have been made for it, + CN didn't give off any sort of promo. Did watch in the afternoon but the most I saw promo-wise was for Supernoobs and next week's New Titans Thursday in which nothing about a new Regular Show was announced, so don't know when it'll air - along with "Chili Cook-Off" which was removed.
 
Everything about this week was quite enjoyable for me in one way or another. RS is still at risk of becoming a zombie in my eyes, but S7 so far has proven this show still has some life left in it.
 
I think Win te prize was not that great but it was not as bad as the return of party horse but more could have been done with it.

Rigleen has been one of the nicest thing this season and unlike he mordo shipping with the drama and mm and starella being overtop. They feel like the real couple and they have been so much fun to watch.

Hope they don't mess it up and have they break up at the end of season
 
Yeah I gotta say, the biggest pro of this season so far is the amout of Eileen. She's great.

Also Win that Prize was delightfully trippy and Hello China was just amazing. Good premiere week, it revitalized my interest in the show (which was dwindling a tad).
 
These were all pretty good episodes. I just don't really have much to say about them.

It's taken me until now to realize just how much more prominent Eileen has become in the later seasons. Like, she's just a couple notches below primary character status by now. Not that that's necessarily a bad thing; they've been putting her in fairly interesting roles lately.
