Criminal Minds: Scream (2015)
The main plot is great, but we need to talk about the Meg situation
Listen.
You wanna tell me that a brilliant FBI agent who catches serial killers for a living and has worked with sex crimes (where human trafficking of underage women is prominent) didn't think to tell her child about the dangers of blindly trusting anyone on the internet, especially knowing there's pedophiles lurking on social media? How does it make sense that she would give her child a safe word in case anything life threatening were to happen BEFORE making sure that the child actually knows how to stay safe in the first place? Heck even my mum took classes on social media and supervised anything me and my siblings did online all the way back in 2010 yet an FBI agent does not? THIS WAS IN 2015 PEOPLE, WE'D ALL SEEN CATFISH BY THEN.
Also don't even get me started on the ignorance of these two kids chatting with a "hot senior" on the internet. If the fact that a senior wants to go out with 13 year old's doesn't strike them as odd in the first place they should at least take the time to think of how insanely disgusting it is that a nearly grown man wants to be with children.
Kate's husband deserves father of the year award and all the praise we can muster for protecting his daughter although she decided to act like an absolute sh*t about it. When this episode ended it became obvious to me why this sub plot was even happening. I instantly knew that Meg getting abducted would end up being the season finale. Still I wouldn't necessarily say that the Meg-plot was forced as much as it was unrealistic.
The Loud House: Project Loud House/In Tents Debate (2016)
The best one thus far
This was an interesting episode as it showed us how Lincoln (both successfully and unsuccessfully) manages to survive under one roof with ten very different sisters.
In 'Project Loud House' we get our first glimpse of a regular, chaotic morning in the Loud family residence. It was entertaining to watch Lincoln as he navigated through the hallway making sure to fix any problem that occurred along the way, just so that all of his sisters would get to the car on time. Lucy, Luan and Lily were all hilarious in this episode while the rest of the sisters faded slightly into the background. The ending - with all of his siblings stepping in to help when his project was ruined, and with Lincoln's kind words about his family - was very touching.
The second half was just as good as the first one, offering several comedic moments with all of Lincoln's sisters trying to convince him to vote for their favorite vacation spot. Lincoln obviously decided to take advantage of his upper hand - and it ended up backfiring not just once but twice. The only complaint I have is that I felt like the parents should've been included a bit more. I know the first season aimed to make the show primarily about the kids but I still think it would've been hilarious if it was revealed in the end that the parents had planned for there to be an argument about where to vacate this year just so that they'd end up going where they always go.
Overall this is the best episode so far.
The Loud House: Heavy Meddle/Making the Case (2016)
The ups and downs with siblings
Yet another strong episode that showcases the good and bad about having ten girl siblings.
In the first half Lincoln is trying his best to hide that he's being bullied from his sisters to make sure that they don't meddle. Basically, he's tired of his sisters trying to do a good thing because it always ends up annoying him. I get that siblings might interfere with things you'd rather wish they'd leave alone; but I think it's important to note WHY they're doing it. They're not doing it for the sake of being annoying but rather because they want to help. Unfortunately, this isn't the lesson we're taking away from the episode. Instead, we get the reversed version of the classic "if a guy is mean to you, it only means he likes you" trope. Instead of taking the opportunity to debunk this type of mindset, they regrettably decided to make Lincoln's first love interest a bully. This could possibly be misinterpreted by the audience as saying that bullying is okay as long as your nastiness has a 'positive' motive.
The second half is the strongest one of the two as it emphasizes the importance of asking before you post a picture or a video of another person on social media - and it manages to do this without seeming preachy and while still maintaining the fun.
The Loud House: Left in the Dark/Get the Message (2015)
We're off to a great start!
An above average pilot episode that manages to introduce all of the Loud kids and their different personalities, giving us a good indicator on what's to come.
I particularly enjoyed the first half of the episode as Lincoln acted more mature and less selfish than he does in the second half and in most of the episodes following this one. Yes Lincoln's ultimate goal is to get the power back on so that he can watch his show, but he's still taking on the role as a protective and caring brother when his sisters needs him to. The ending is adorable and the lesson Lincoln wants us to take away from this episode is one of the best ones of the season.
The second half however, aren't nearly as good as the first one. Lincoln acts incredibly selfish and the "I have to delete my cruel voicemail before the person I sent it to hears it" plot is far from an original idea. Still, I appreciated that Lori's "I couldn't care less" attitude regarding the entire situation seemed to make fun of how ridiculous it was in the first place.
To summarize, we're off to a really good start!
