Plankton's Regular

*SPOILERS*

Finally saw this ep today. I hated it.

Basically, it went like this: Plankton has been talking to Karen, because he's depressed and thinks he's a failure. Karen couldn't care less, and makes that known. Then---surprise, surprise!---a guy comes in and buys some chum. He likes it so much, he comes back daily. Krabs and SpongeBob apparently can't accept the fact that they have tons of customers and Plankton has one, so they try to get the guy to eat at the Krusty Krab instead. Finally, they try to steal Plankton's formula. As it turns out, the guy hates chum; Karen paid him to eat there so Plankton would stop whining. The episode closes with Krabs enjoying Plankton's sobbing.

It was boring, had no humor, and the whole thing was just pointlessly cruel to Plankton, who wasn't even doing anything wrong---Krabs was! Karen was out of character, and her voice was off. On older episodes (such as Plankton's Army), she, being his sole confident, listened to him and tried to cheer him up. On current episodes, you gotta wonder why they're married!
Also, it was pointlessly violent for the sake of...well, pointless violence. I mean, funny, cartoony violence is okay. But there were two scenes of characters being ripped open, and it wasn't funny or cartoony, it was gross. I've always found that sort of stuff disgusting and the abundance of it in the current episodes is...kind of upsetting. To me, anyway. I'll admit they had a little of it on older episodes, but bwargh!!
