SpongeBob SquarePants: Mind the Gap/Dirty Bubble Returns (2019)
"SpongeBob is cool now!"
Mind the Gap: This episode has a very classic SpongeBob charm to it. SpongeBob's voice changing into this smoothing talking guy is a funny juxtaposition to what we would expect and Tom Kenny's voice work is incredible in this episode.
Dirty Bubble Returns: I really like that the writers are trying to expand some more secondary characters story. First was Manray then Bubble Bass, who didn't really have much to them other than a gag. But now in Seasons 11 and 12, they have a bit more to their characters now, and the Dirty Bubble is no exception. The idea that the Dirty Bubble trying to be 'clean' is a good premise and a funny metaphor for something else. And I would really like to see more secondary characters explored in future episodes.
SpongeBob SquarePants: Sandy's Nutty Nieces/Insecurity Guards (2019)
Exploring family history
Sandy's Nutty Nieces: I enjoyed this episode for what it was, it had some good jokes and visual gags as usual. I like the idea of exploring the characters' family history, and I feel that it can have a lot of potential in future episodes.
Insecurity Guards: I really like the plot of this episode, the idea of SpongeBob and Patrick working at a museum with Squidward sneaking his art in is just such a classic SpongeBob concept. Great jokes throughout with some clever visual gags, making this episode a fun watch.
SpongeBob SquarePants: Plankton's Old Chum/Stormy Weather (2019)
Very reminiscent of earlier episodes
Plankton's Old Chum: This was a fun episode, there isn't much to say about it honestly other than I found it quite reminiscent of earlier episodes of SpongeBob. The plot has got a nice charm that the older episodes had along with great jokes and visual gags. I especially liked the joke of comparing Squidward to Scrooge from a Christmas Carol.
Stormy Weather: I personally think this is one of the best episodes in quite a while. Every scene has something going on. I loved the character of Gale Doppler who's first presented as a handsome news reporter but later on, turned into an antagonist, it's cliché, yes, but SpongeBob is the kind of show that doesn't take itself seriously at all, and that kind of adds to the humour as well. There are also a lot of other great jokes but i'd recommend watching this one if you're getting back into the show.
