This is easily season 6's best episode.
I just love this story, I rarely expect exciting stories from seasons 6 and 7 but this was surprisingly powerful and well-written. There's just some magic to how this episode unfolded that reminded me of the good ol' days of the first 5 seasons.. Everything about the message was well-written with brilliant and clever moments like the Krabby Patties turning to paper and SpongeBob thinking Squidward was too strange. The humor was pretty good too, a lot of season 6 just feels pandering, like they need to shout, dumb-down, and explain the jokes for you to laugh at them. A lot of the humor in this episode is more subtle. It's far from the funniest episode but I chuckled quite a bit. This is a great episode, it's down hill from here though...
9.5/10
