Even though there are some good, or at least unobjectionable, scenes in these new episodes, I somehow can't manage to feel good about it. I have a hard enough time swallowing the fact that this show is still airing. I know that sounds very gloomy and contrarian, even for a Nostalgic, but...I dunno. There's just such a huge gulf of time between "then" (old seasons) and "now" (new seasons), and so much has happened.
The part with Simon listening to headphones is cute and funny, but it's reminiscent of stuff he's done before. Is it as funny as that "beatboxing" thing? No. It's like they bring him out and have him do tricks like a performing animal, because he's the designated "guy who does funny random stuff."
The mere existence of the ships just poisons everything for me, even scenes where they're not referenced. I guess I'm Eeyore:
