Great episode!

Of course everything is over the top, but that's what's so great about this show. I grew up in a very religious household and was in church every possible moment as a child, and seeing the hypocrisy, even in comedy form, hits home and makes me laugh, because I know that there is truth in these stories.

After the siblings were kidnapped, it appeared to me that Keefe was being set up as the supposed hero. His character is so quirky and weird, but he is freakin' hilarious. I was so hoping that he was going to be the one to rescue the Gemstones, which would redeem him and thus allow him to continue on in the church by Kelvin's side. They are such a strange and wonderful pair. But alas, that wasn't meant to be...Gideon saved the day, which was fantastic.

This show is one of the best comedies ever on tv. I hope it keeps on keeping on for a while...

This pretty much summed up The Righteous Gemstones in a nutshell. They made a big spectacle of the fight scene and the escape and built up to that big moment, but there was also literal toilet humor, and a bizarre song moment that probably had viewers at home tapping along.

It was kind of funny, but it had me hooked all the way until the end, so for that reason it accomplished its goal.

This season is still all over the place and not quite up to par, but episodes like this do not take themselves too seriously and make for a pretty easy viewing experience.

Let's see what happens next because there's a bunch of directions they could go.
