Sand Castles in the Sand is the best episode in a long time.

And I didn't even see the whole thing.

I was in San Diego a couple days ago, and while I was in a hotel, I was looking for something to watch. SpongeBob was on. Wanted to check out what episode it was. It was this one.

For once, in a very long time, I actually laughed at a new episode. For once, in a very long time, the writers didn't make any elaborate changes. For once, I bear 11 minutes of something different from this cartoon! How come they weren't making episodes like this in the first place?!?!

We finally get some clever jokes out of these guys. The writers show their potential by not trying to back out from pleasing the hardcore fans. They actually invent a plot in which SpongeBob and Patrick can get into with zany results.

The episode doesn't even look like a post-movie episode. When I first saw it, I couldn't even tell if it was new or old. The episode doesn't have the typicaly post-movie flaws, either. The voice acting hasn't been this great since the movie. The jokes aren't rehashed or borrowed from other shows. Although we get the typical different soundtrack, it actually works with the episode.

Sadly, I didn't get to see the whole thing, but you can't imagine how happy I was with what I saw. If only they could strike gold like this again...
 
Because the writers weren't actually thinking of ideas. They say, from their blogs, it's hard to think after about 250 episode segments. Tough luck, you still gotta take time to think. -_-

I finally got to watch it. Definetly one of my favorites. It's like season 7 is an old-school season or something.

If you get a chance, and haven't already, check out Suction Cup Symphony. A nice shining moment for Squidward...kinda.

Don't listen to him. He hates Chocolate With Nuts.

Really though, there are some great post-movie episodes and Season 7 in particular is shaping up to be fantastic so far,
 
I don't LOVE AND WORSHIP it like SpongeBob fans, it's my second favorite behind Graveyard Shift.

And Sand Castles in the Sand (SCitS) is not the best in a long time, go watch Chum Caverns.

I like this episode. The only part I didn't like was the skin ripping part.

That's a bit intimidating, but it seems like something SpongeBob would do. I'll check TurboNick if they have it so I can finish it.

Yeah, I'll check that, too, on my way to TurboNick.

EDIT: ...what happened to TurboNick? :| Does anyone have like, YouTube links or something to these episodes? I know someone does.
 
I think this was a very unique episode. The battles between Sponge and Pat were awesome! Much better than Battle of Bikini Bottom.
