[Omniscience]

Careful with spoilers.

[The_Bellhop]

This series has really let me down, it's really just not that funny. Awesome Show on the other paw...

[Cartoonist_Uncloaked]

When you list New Episodes, it is a given that spoilers will be given. Discuss the show.

[Omniscience]

Just saying, Mods get upset about it quickly. Don't bite the hand that feeds.

[itsacoaster]

"Saul" is spelled without an "e."

[Cartoonist_Uncloaked]

I am aware of that. I have been here since 04 and kinda get the spoilers. But when you post threads for the episode, it is to talk about the episode, not say nothing.

OnTopic: Best quote, after Saul stabs the King, "Accident?"

[Cartoonist_Uncloaked]

God. Sorry. WTF is wrong with me today?

[Cartoonist_Uncloaked]

So much funny slapstick. The fact that it took that long for Saul to disect a Mole Man is hilarious. And Metalocalypse look out Johnny was crazy groovy.

[Sylak]

Not as good as the first one.

But I **bleep** love Johnny Tambourine.

[Cartoonist_Uncloaked]

I KNOW! So 60's Land of The Lost style. Love it.

[AdultoNadar_Fan?tic]

¡Muy bien episodo!

I loved it, I mean Saul Disecting is fantastic.

[ShowUsYourTaint]

Yeah I knew he was going to be the best part of the show. 

"I have an idea!  I used to have a neighbor once.  He liked lily pads.  He called them Toad floaters!" Lol

Personally I thought this episode was better than the first because it wasn't 100% focused on Saul and the plot developed more.

[CrazyPanda]

Johnny Tambourine, Walter's disection  and the toad floater line had me cracking up.

[Mangaka_atto_Erusaiz]

Yes. Amazingly fresh episode. Everything worked. even the evil brother. I also enjoyed Sleeper Cell version of Saul. "I AM A MOLE MAN LIKE YOU! Grrrrr...." I had to wipe away the tears from laughing so hard.

I kinda thought that too, the first half was a bit slow and not as strong as last week; but the second half of the episode, once he skins/guts the Moleman and becomes Walter, it really starts to pick up. And I did really enjoy the corny soap-opera-ish dialouge between the King and Dr. Brad. We got to see Johhny Tambourine's first song, which we had seen before, so wasn't as great as it would've been had we seen it for the 1st time in the ep. I'm also a little disappointed that they didn't keep the black President, and I prefer the Robot voice in the pilot to the one in the series (more of a Lost in Space feel); though with the continuity errors, maybe the President will be black in a future sequence or Chinese or who knows. All in all, a slow start, but a good episode, and a Sealab ending. Can't wait to see where it goes next week.

And for the record, Tim and Eric is the stronger show this week, but c'mon, it was a fantastic Awesome Show.

Yes I loved htat line, makes me think of my own British friend, Brak... I'll bet he calls 'em toad floaters.

[GeorgeWBullsh_t]

well i thought this episode was great

saul darting johnny tambourine, then disguising himself as walter

that gutting scene was hillarous and robot was just an old guy that was an organ donor no wonder why he's so grumpy!

i loved the part where the king was telling his sons who he would choose as his sucsessor, and the evil brother has a mustache

although i did prefer the black presidend but the new guy did a good job he was so animated in the conversation, and i thought iw as funny that both the president and the mole king were wearing sashes that said leader

over all i thought it was another fine episode and is developing nicely, maybe not an instant hit but i belive it's building up to something great.

[BelgianROFLS]

Even better than the first ep! I'm loving it more and more all the time!

But the voice of one of the kings sons sounded familiar to me, and I can't remember from where...x_X...I hate when that happens. Anyone know who did the voices?

[Majikthise]

Is it just me, or did the Mole Men shriek remind anyone else of the 1978 version of Invasion of the Body Snatchers?

[Hong_Kong_Phooey]

No, it wasn't just you; I thought, Body Snatchers, when that sequence started. Loved it.

[ShowUsYourTaint]

Definitely body snatchers....I thought that was what they were going for the second I heard it.

[Conan_Edogawa420]

Blood is Thicker Than Walter is such an awesome title. An instant classic like Careful With That Axe, Eugene

Saul has to be the coolest geolalhagest ever! Way cooler than Randy Marsh, Giovanni Arduino or Louis Agassiz.

    Great Episode. I have high hopes for this show. I think pretty much everything that Johnny Tambourine and Saul say crack me up. But the Robot character hasn't quite grown on me yet. Johnny Tambourine is hilarious. Everything he says is hysterical. He needs more lines, he got one last episode and one this time, and they were both quotable. At least we got to see his "acid flashback" this time around. Hopefully that means that some of the other scenes from the original pilot will find their way into the future of the show.
    The show does a great job parodying the Mary Krofft-type shows. With the costumes, "special" effects, and how it has so far concluded in cliffhangers, it all works out perfectly. The whole look of Saul really interests me. It's just something completely and perfectly different, which I prefer. These kind of shows are why I love [as], the shows that would most likely never see anywhere else.
    I'm really hooked on the show. I'm glad we got 18 more weeks of this.


Also, in this interview, we can see what is coming up in the future.

"Well, in this particular episode, Saul partners up with the young Mole Man, Little, who’s the son of one of the main Mole Men, Clancy. And…they chase around **bleep** for an episode. Those are the kind of stories we’re going to be doing, to explore the culture of the Mole Men.”

Haha, can't wait. BTW, it's a very interesting and informative interview. I recommend Saul fans to check it out.

This ep beats T&E this week
