Aha! I have anticipated this response and I raise you!

Get Sento to shoot him with one of her memory wipe/ forgetfull-ness rounds. Bingo, park saved for another year. Razz

@getchman:

Ah, I missed that. Yes, he's there at the 18m56s mark and again at 21m39s.

Okay, an even simpler solution would have been to press the button an extra few hundred times per day over the entire year when minion dude wasn't there.

Anyway, since minion is actually watching, I don't know if waltzing the cast through the gates will actually work. I think I'll hold out for a more legitimate way, like if Latifa holds an impromptu croquette fair or something.

Edit:

I like the way you think ,and it would be a great use of the Chekhov's Gun trope. But is that really the way the heroes are supposed to win?

‎"Victory isn't defined by wins or losses. It is defined by effort. If you can truthfully say, 'I did the best I could, I gave everything I had,' then you're a winner.”

Balls to that! You kick, you claw and you do everything in your power to win even if it's just plain dirty.
With Latifa's life on the line, I could live with the consequences and Sento seems to love using her blunderbuss.. Who am I to deprive her of some pleasure?

He does look a bit constipated.

Gotta say, I don't think the tension really works.
The problem is that it's centered around Latifa being the one at stake, yet we didn't get anything of her character other than being a damsel in distress.
It's hard to really care for her.

Frankly, the fact that Kanie has not made the beast with two backs with Sento yet is all the proof I need that he ain't no genius...


No, it's obviously because blonde lolis are more his type. Wink

SPEAK FOR YOURSELF. Mad Latifah is precious and sweet. Who wouldn't want to protect her just from looking at her!?

Anyway, I agree with Shikiari's idea.
SHOOT HIM. :'D

He doesn't have, or show any romantic feelings towards Latifa, and he never would.

I'm sorry; I can't hear your blind assumptions over the honking of my ship.

Episode 12:

spoiler[Yay, they finally got 500k visitors and not only that but Latifa managed to retain her memories! This episode felt a bit like the finale but was good the way it was resolved.]

Kinda curious to see what they will do with the next episode though.

Anyways, the episode was just like what I was afraid of: the climax of the whole show was focused on Latifa and her emotions, but what with the show only catering to Sento fans, and only caring about her, Latifa scenes just don't work, because she's hardly a character, and more just a plot device/damsel in distress.
No wonder the episode fell flat.

Well that was resolved faster than I thought. I wonder what the last episode will be about?

The fact that the spoiler[three visitors that put them over the top were the three pervy kids who lust after Sento] was, indeed, brilliant.

I was kind of surprised how the show dealt with spoiler[Latifah's cure, though. It came off as oddly anti-climatic in that Kanie, Sento and Moffle (the only characters who were around to witness it) seemed pretty "meh" about it.] Weird.

I'm assuming the final eppie will spoiler[just be a fun, goofing around thing now that the main conflicts have climaxed.]

Episode 12

Two climactic moments in one episode, which kind of made the second one kind of anti-climatic since I think the more meaningful and spoiler["aha" moment was with those kids running in]. I am just simply happy that spoiler[Latifah is okay in the end, although the wizard felt a little pointless].

Kanie in the episode getting emotional and then putting on the whole ego thing, I think the change in their perception of him says something.

The last episode will be titled "Not a good PV!", which I think confirms my suspicions that we will get a simple fun episode. It would be perfect to play it off on a funny note since there are a number of good characters. At first I was not too fond of the mascots but I think they ended up very entertaining when you get their personalities down. The fairies were also being wasted as window dressing.

That was amazing. I have zero complaints.
