Yes. It's very dark, especially for a season 1 episode.HarryPotterLives said:Not the best episode, but it's pretty enjoyable. The song is great, of course, and it's what everyone remembers from this episode. The jokes were decent, as were the characters. I like that this episode doesn't go for the typical "everyone can change they just need wuv" moral that we get way too much in children's media. Hate to break it to you, but that's not always how it works. Not everyone is willing to change. Take Plankton as an example. He seemed to genuinely like SpongeBob's company, I don't think it was necessarily fake on his part, but in the end, he wasn't willing to change, even if it cost him a friend. It's actually kind of dark, when you think about it, which only makes me like it morebecause I'm a sick freak who likes dark stories.
Plankton: OK, it's true, I lied! But then you showed me friendship and compassion and then I realized- that that was all I ever really wanted!FairyPotterLives said:Not the best episode, but it's pretty enjoyable.

I think this episode is better now, since it's funny and pretty nostalgic,Milkmaidman said:The song was really memorable, but rest of the episode isn't as good-it's plain OK........
