The Adventures of Poindexter #23 — RIDE THE DUCKIES
March 18th, 2014

I only have sarcasm left for this season.
Impressions:
Good god. Do we remember what the cliffhanger from last week was? Because it took them half the episode to get to it. They spent an entire minute just explaining how boring and lame Poindexter is, followed by giving him a third of the episode, during which, he reiterated how lame he was. You had me convinced that he wasn’t worth watching months ago, show. You are not going to turn around and pull “We’re being boring on purpose!” with any degree of success, although following it up with yet more not-fighting between Klarion and Harry. At least they put a modicum of effort into the other fight. Not much more than a modicum though.
That brings us to the second half where it was right back to a whole whole lot of nothing and once again, the game of “spot the random crap the director is focusing on to try to cover it up.” Ogreboy just carried Moron off, everyone met up to have chatsies by the duckies, and they learn that the astigmatism in Blondie’s eye is a chunk of LSD that sends her on a naked, glowing space journey to discover that Natsume’s not as dead as previously assumed by basically nobody. A truly shocking development that I’m sure nobody could have ever possibly seen coming.
So basically, the second half was “they left the room and then got high” after a first half mostly about Poindexter talking about how boring he is. Fan-tastic.Â

Hey – you’ve got to admire Poindexter – he was the one who was smart enough to stick around so that he can take Blondie home while she is still high on drugs and won’t remember what he does to her the rest of the night!
