User blog:Scrooge200/Season 11 Review
Season 10 is one I actually liked. Will season 11 continue this trend? Also, see my review index!
Swept Away
Season 11 starts off with a good episode! I like the first part of this episode, it's very fun. Arthur, Buster, and D.W.'s sandcastle is visually cool, particularly in the dream sequence. Plus, this episode is set entirely on the beach, which is a change of pace and adds to the atmosphere. There are some jokes I like, such as D.W. disliking the name "Starfish Enterprise" and consistently referring to it as a princess castle. The ending is what really impressed me. It's slightly sad, with a moral about how while good things won't last forever, you'll still have memories of the great times you had. D.W. keeping the starfish from on top of the castle as a necklace is a nice detail, too.
Germophobia
Watching this episode during the 2020 COVID pandemic (or 2021 now...) certainly puts it in a different light.
It explains that neither extremes are good: being a neat freak makes you overly paranoid and nervous, while being dirty means you'll get sick and spread bad germs. Buster's friends aren't happy with either of these. The visions of the germs are truly scary, with the screen warping around the edges and the creepy giggling noises. It's impressive how the harmonica is symbolized as the climax of Buster's bad hygiene. The pool party is also discussed ahead of time, so you have an idea of what the ending will be, but it isn't too predictable. Other than that, I didn't find this episode very entertaining. It's stressful, particularly in the second half. "Wild rice" is a good joke, at least. Okay.
