I feel like episodes 1 and 2 where both let downs, Cupid ye was good but was just making cartman racist but then making him not racist and Kanye was already out of the news for a little while by time that episode was aired. And I completely agree with you on last week's, the only thing I would mention is that I assume that they used parts of his book for the episode but I don't have a clue.

Also as I couldn't give a flying fuck about the royals, but South park singlehandedly got them back in my Google newsfeed.

I'd really like them to follow an actual story again, and they could have set one up with Kyle and Stan becoming more distant from the Cupid ye episode.
