I thought the episode was hilarious. I liked the way they had Mimsy saying these sage-like things but shoved it into the 'Shut up Mimsiiieee' bit. I also loved the part at the end where the parents pretended not to understand Nathan because they didn't want to ruin their vacation plans.
But, philosophically it was kind of a retread on the 'It' episode. Another episode satirizing how transportation companies try to force new competitors out of business when they're losing business because of their terrible service, only replacing the airlines with cabs.

I thought the final scene was brilliant. It briefly and concisely satirizes some parents' attitude toward their special needs children as an inconvenience.
My father's girlfriend has three kids, one of whom has a learning disability, and their father is only willing to pay expenses for the other two because he is 'Flawed'. Nathan's parents' attitude toward him brutally sums up all of that in a twenty second scene.

That episode was just weak.
I liked what they were doing with drones at the start, but then they beat on the pubic hair horse long after it was dead, and all the Ferguson references didn't accomplish anything.
Whatever they had to say about the privacy implications of drones and the internet got buried in the tired formula.

I think that South Park made an elegant point about the recent shootings in the World War Z episode, and didn't add anything to it with their drone Ferguson reenactment.
My favorite episodes this season have been Handicar and Cissy.
Maybe if they hadn't ran the eye-rolling pubic hair jokes into the ground it would have been easier to focus on the positives of the episode.

I thought the whole episode was hilarious, but the scene that had me laughing the hardest was when the two drones bust through the window and steal the flatscreen TV
This is a great episode.
One of those episodes where they get something exactly right.
Yep, that's how Freemium games work.
That Satan part was brilliant.

The part near the end, when Stan rises up onto the basketball court, while the other three watch, and then they pretend like that's absolutely normal ... that had me in stitches. I had to rewind that over and over. Less than 10 seconds, and it's the funniest thing SP has given me in years.This is a great episode.

Freemium was another solid good episode. They really went in detail on the game mechanics But what made it a real cherry on top was Satan vs Canadian Devil. I actually like this could have been an epic two parter with Canadian Hell going to war with regular Hell.
I think the funniest part was Stan not having a problem selling his soul to Satan

That's a good point, I got a little bit of an impression Terrence & Philip were standins for Trey and Matt.
I just loved that it was Satan who explained to Stan how dopamine works.

While I found nothing wrong with the episode in particular and it certainly wasn't bad like some of the last season's episodes, it was okay. Nothing stand out, the jokes that were funny were not hilarious (maybe people who uses game apps find this funny), and some of the scenes that would have been belly-laughing good just five or years ago, kind of fell flat.
Five years ago an okay episode like this wouldn't have been such a problem, being sandwiched inbetween other better ones with a long run, but with only ten episodes a season now, it's a huge let down.

I stumbled across South Park's Lorde song on YouTube and now I'm looping it over n over... it's actually really catchy!

It wasn't done by Lorde but by Sia.

I thought last season was stronger than the couple preceding it. What didn't you like about it? The George Zimmerman episode, the Goth Kids episode, the Kim Kardashian photoshopping episode, the Black Friday trilogy, the one about kids being worried their parents will murder each other because they see it on TV. Sure, the Ike episode was terrible and the Ginger Cow thing was stupid, but 7/10's a pretty good hit rate IMO.
