It's easily the worst special they ever did. I stopped after 4 parts because it is going nowhere. Should have stopped after two but I had hopes.

Agreed. Like he said, he doesn't want to run the character into the ground, and the easiest way to do that is to keep throwing out the same thing week after week. I sure wouldn't want the Nostalgia Critic to become like the Simpsons, old and tired. And he said it's NOT the end forever, but the Critic won't be back in the same way. And I certainly wouldn't expect him to show up any time soon.

As for how To Boldly Flee stood up? I enjoyed it, but at the same time, I wish it were a bit more original. I mean, yes, Kickassia and Suburban Knights had their share of references, but To Boldly Flee went way overboard. I still enjoyed it, and Doug made an excellent Zod, but definitely the weaker of the specials. Much prefer Kickassia. Plus the Critic decked out like M. Bison was awesome.

Oh, and I think that it should've ended with the Critic's full catchphrase, as well as Sad Panda's song since this was goodbye to the Critic.

He's about 11 months too late for that to be honest.

You're being pretty generous there.

Yeah also i hated it how no one seemed to care other than Film Brain about Critic being gone. Yeah the Star Wars plot went way too far!

>Star wars.

Star. Wars.

you sir, have just earned the hate of every Trekker everywhere.

But of course only Film Brain cared. In canon oonly Film Brain gives a shit about the critic, to the point of obsession

Yeah but you think Nostalgia Chick or someone else would have said ''Hey where's the critic?''

Whenever Poochie isn't on screen the other characters should be saying "Hey, where's Poochie?"

Also Darth i think To Boldly Flee is the last time you see Santa Christ now unless The Critic comes back for a Christmas special.

*Darth Marsden* · 09/15/2012, 09:37 am

I've kinda stopped caring about the Nostalgia Critic by this point, so hearing he's 'gone' doesn't bother me at all.

But no more SANTA CHRIST?

(god I'm using a lot of images today)

Yes no more Santa Christ (Unless he's going to be in a special or if the Critic makes a Christmas special he might come back.)

Well, the plot was equal parts Trek and Wars.

And even in To Boldly Flee, Film Brain didn't seem to care that the Critic wasn't coming back.

Another good point Film Brain is the only one who cares about Critic throughout the film and still at the end he's just like ''Who was that Critic guy again?''

Personally I think it's a great idea to have characters re-establish things that the audience already knows. Sometimes I forget what happened 10 minutes ago and feel like an expository plot dump of the things I just saw is something that I need as a viewer to internalize complex concepts such as "this character isn't around anymore".

You would love pro wrestling commentary then.

Secret Fawful · 09/16/2012, 12:42 pm

Spoony's commentary was the only reason I sat through the first two parts, as it had a lot of insight not only into his recent breakdown, but also Channel Awesome and the politics therein as well.

der_ketzer · 09/16/2012, 12:48 pm

Thanks for bringing them up. With the commentary I might be able to get through the series.
