Aside from the B plot with Washington's brain damage (which I'd argue is actually one of the best plotlines in the series period, it was executed so damn well it makes the rest of the season that much more mind-boggling) and the final fight with Donut and Doc, most of the season was trainwreck with some of the weakest jokes in the series. Half of 16's jokes was basically characters randomily reading off a TV tropes page. The plot doesn't go anywhere until the 13th episode, which wouldn't be as painful if the episodes before it were actually funny. There were a few good jokes in the season, but way too few and far between. Also they have Grif repeat the exact same character arc he had in Season 15 for some reason, except executed way worse.

16 was so bad it actually made me appreciate 15 more when I rewatched it. I never thought 15 was bad and I still don't, I just thought it was weak compared to most of the other seasons, but 16 makes 15 look like shakespeare. Joe had me excited. I was so ready to love Season 16. It was gonna have-time travel! It was gonna be so awesome! Then it happened. Oh boy did it happen.

We do have to be honest though, like any bad anything, it does have its good moments. That cannot be denied. Wash's brain damage: absolutely fantastic. Well no it's horrible but you know what I mean. Some of the time-travel shenanigans: also good. Oh and god damned Doc! Doc had a smidge of character growth! Learning of his deceased brother and that's why he became a Medic! Wanting to save lives but of course Grif not giving a shit pushed him over the edge. For the two seconds that Doc got character growht, it was fantastic.

Oh, oh ho, ho no. But the bad? The bad cannot be forgiven so easily, or at all.

The first and the god damned bigges: Tucker. Mother fucking Tucker! Why Joe? Why did you ruin Tucker like you did? You handled Tucker so much better in Season 15. Yes he'd relaxed from his matured character from The Chorus Trilogy but he still knew when shit needed done. Season 16, which only fucking takes place seconds after Season 15, completley ruins Tucker's character. All his maturing he went through in The Chorus Trilogy is thrown out the fucking window! NO! The god damned airlock!

Tucker's Season 15 personality was a perfect blend of him from the earlier seasons and The Chorus Trilogy. Why throw it all away? There is literally not enough time or reason for Tucker to revert back. And what's it all for? To give Tucker another fucking life lesson. That he already got in The Chorus Trilogy. Are you fucking kidding me?

Right, I need to stop this. Its become a rant. I'll glady complaing more later but for now, this'll do.
