3/10
I'm so tired of the 1/10's

These episodes surprised me... not in a good way. These episodes were both terrible and the ladder has next to nothing redeemable about it. Well, I guess Child's Play has some good, but overall these episodes provided little enjoyment. I'm really excited for the next episode Candy Crushed with Lola, but I'm expecting nothing for the third time, at this point I want to make a counter until we get a good episode.

Anyways, Child's Play is forgettable. This episode is very similar to episodes like The Last Laugh or the classic "get rich quick" plot. It's really similar to a lot of other media which makes Loud House's ongoing unoriginality problem continue. This episode also fails in terms of it's characters. Sully was never this airheaded, and everyone else in the Moon Goats just feels like the same character. Hell, even all the toddlers feel the same. Lily's songs were cute though.

Just getting this out there, I was so confused about this episode's ending. The band started singing a song about applesauce and the episode ended after their song (similar to Hiccups and Downs, a better episode at a 4.5/10). I was like "Wait, it's over?!", the pacing just makes zero sense. It's very slow in the beginning, then goes fast when they find all the new songs, then just goes faster and faster until my head feels like popping off. Not even exaggerating, that's how it was when I watched this all 4 times I had to sit through it.

There's barely anything I can say about this episode. It's not good, it's not that terrible, it's not mediocre. 4/10, just plain bad.

I was not expecting Force of Habits to be as bad as it turned out to be. This episode, written by Kevin Sullivan, gave me some hope as he's one of the better writers still on this show. So tell me... how the FRICK did a dude like this manage to make an episode this nonsensical?

(1/2) In this episode, Gavin is described as having a snort laugh (an annoying habit to Leni). In Food Courting he laughed, so why didn't he snort? You can argue that this show barely focusses on continuity, but it's hard to argue that when they add useless habits for most of the characters that DON'T EVEN FIT WITH THEIR CHARACTER. For example, Bobby's "habit" of singing everything. I have watched every single Loud House and Casagrandes episode... just saying, Bobby barely had any singing moments in any of those shows. Sam's "indecisive habit" just flatout makes no sense (Racing Hearts completely contradicts this).

(2/2) Onto the girls, Leni's "habit" of posting everything online is in character... for season 1. For season 7, this isn't really the Leni I know, she's more of just the influencer one, writers! Lori's is the only one that's in character. Luna's "habit" is just something weird that's never done before if my memory serves correctly. Yeah, she loves music, but this ain't it chief.

I split that paragraph for your sakes. Anyways, that's my main problem, another big issue the second half. Oh man... this is freaking awful. First of all, the girls' partners are annoying. Second of all, the sisters are uncharacteristically downplayed to acting like nitwits just so they can run away only to come back not even 3 minutes later. The girls in the end who they disturbed on their boat ride was my exact face.

1/10, screw this episode. 3/10 average, sorry if I got a little mad... good news, I'm on summer vacation! I'm praying the next episodes are good...
