These episodes, to say the least, are a big disappointment as an episode to air Christmas day and just as episodes in general. Just like "Snow Escape/Snow News Day" these episodes are very underwhelming and has more problems than the previously mentioned batch.
"Pop Pop the Question" is one I was actually really excited for, only to be let down by the sheer annoyance it caused with it just feeling like a worse version of "Insta-Gran", an actually DECENT episode. The spying especially feels like a ripoff of "Insta-Gran", but in this episode it's even worse (despite not having the very weird addition of Lynnja like in the other episode). It takes up most of the episode and has a very bad build-up because we know Myrtle isn't going to come out as a bad person. Even a young child would be able to predict this I feel, unless their brain was yogurt maybe.
The majority of this episode is very plain and dry. Myrtle and Albert were an obvious highlight, with the siblings not leaving a good impact. Lincoln is very annoying even with the few lines he gets in the episode just to mention David Steele for the 500th time and everyone else is just somewhat stupid, yet fooled in the episode. It comes off less forced than something like Frankie and the Zhus in "Weathering Heights" from "The ZhuZhus", but these characters are still being downplayed from the writing, which is very annoying.
The ending is a little better. Myrtle and Albert finally get married and it's honestly really enjoyable to watch them spend time together throughout this episode. Only for it to be ruined by Scoots, one of my least favorites from this show's characters.
Also, possible plothole/animation error. Why isn't Myrtle in her room with Nana Gayle like she was in "Resident Upheaval", what happened to that?
4/10, could have been so much better. I'm tired of saying this for season 6 over and over again.
On that note, "Lynn and Order" is a really horrible episode. Lynn in this episode is a really horrible character and it makes everyone else look really juvenile as well due to their now-seen reliance on hall monitor Lynn (and later, Liam). Lynn does nothing but boss around students, jumps to conclusions about a lot of the other middle school students. This includes: a girl who's new and lost, a kid stuffed in a locker, and her own brother. Lynn picking on Lincoln is very repetitive in modern "TLH" and it's so tiring to see.
Liam in this episode is... well, strange. He takes the farm child stereotype to 11 in this episode helps kids by being Mr. Nice Guy instead of the condescending monster named Lynn Jr. Loud. Unsurprisingly, it isn't done well. Especially the running with Liam's eggs. I understand giving kids eggs to eat, but THEY'RE RAW (and everyone just assumes it's hard-boiled because they're idiotic). How do you expect a child to do anything with a raw egg at school without access to an oven?
Mr. Bolhofner was also annoying all throughout the episode and had a bobcat named Rocket, which only served as a hindrance for Lynn in the ending and for her to see Liam isn't a... you know. Speaking of the ending, it is really poor. The fact that it was just over Rocket rolling the window down and trying to eat Chef Pat's tuna salad is really underwhelming, even for a modern season 6 episode's ending. This episode is just... really, really bad.
Also, the ending rips of the ending of "Zootopia". Who does that?
2/10, I officially consider Lynn the worst sister.
