*2109: SUPER HARD PCness* Pre-Air Discussion

[JamesPolo]

Is PC Principal going to get a sex change?

[JamesPolo]

Someone has a super hard P (c)Ness..lol

I literally didn't get the joke until you said that. So is PCP a pedophile now or is it impotence from Heidi bullying him?

[SouthAl93]

I wonder if this will be the episode where all the girls at school get along with the boys again with Kyle having a different point of view on girls, especially after now that Heidi is against him.

Definitely but true enough.

Can you stop adding stupid responses to every post that remotely mentions Heidi? You're clogging up the episode threads, your replies are vague, confusing and moronic and you never add anything constructive to any conversation here or anywhere you are on the internet for that matter.

If they change the title of this episode tomorrow, this would be why.

Very less likely. Maybe he'll make sweet love to Principal Victoria.

That wasn't directed at you, but rather Tanzer.

I guess we wil not see old fellow Kenny as hero of episode in this season. So regrettable.

[Stanluv25]

The bit about the boys being boys but Kyle is not following after them for whatever reason could be interesting. I hope it's all in good fun and kid-focused and innocent, although we haven't had that in a long time. The PC principal thing I could care less about. He was never funny and at this point I try to block him out if he appears in an episode. Unless he's gone for good at the end of this episode, I can't see how I'll care about his story. Hoping for a good episode, skipped the last one as it looked very boring to me.

PC Principal has a hard time and Kyle sees things differently than everyone else? Uhh alright.

[Hannafechik98]

But what would Kyle be actually doing? Is he going to go through phase of cynicism like Stan?

This is the episode I've been waiting for. It's nice to finally revisit PC Principal and see what's been going through his head lately - and sign me up for Principal Victoria if she's back. (Probably not, but hey, let's be hopeful.)

I'm gonna break this down.

It’s never been more challenging to be a PC Principal. PC Principal is wrestling with some unfamiliar feelings. Meanwhile, boys will be boys except for Kyle who, for the first time, seems to see things differently from the rest of his friends.

Three snippets, all suggesting mystery but none too difficult to decipher.

[1] PC Ptrincipal was in an optimistic place at the end of S19, but what's changed since? He set off the chain of events leading to the Garrison presidency and now we have Heidi acting worse than ever. Pretending for a moment continuity is irrelevant - what else has changed recently, what might specifically affect his PC outlook? Trying to ignore the presidency, we have the fallout from the 'Weinstein Effect', but I'm not sure they're taking that route...

[2] "Unfamiliar feelings." Is PC Principal beginning to feel less politically correct than he once was, perhaps falling into some not so politically correct behavior? These are feelings he hasn't experienced before... perhaps he may have a different sexuality? We don't know the trigger again.

[3] Kyle is different as well!! This is even more puzzling, but he was inactive last week compared to seeing Heidi falling down the tubes as well. That's the lowest common denominator... 'the rest of his friends' is key though, too. Whatever's happened, Stan, Butters and co. aren't too concerned. This makes me wonder if it might really be about Heidi, and it might be a more profound disagreement, as their feelings towards Heidi tend to seem more apathetic.

So, registering my hypothesis - the 'fallout' from "Doubling Down", between Garrison's presidency and Heidi's negative behavior, alongside the continued division of the town, is just pushing these two optimistic, liberal characters to a place where their habits of focusing on how people can improve themselves and be better are becoming challenged and strained, and they're feeling a little disillusioned with the world. We've previously seen Kyle lose face under similar circumstances i.e. "Cartmanland" and "Weiners Out".

(Now to see if the preview clip's up yet...)

Okay, coming back with the preview clip...

PCP's real name is still a mystery and I'm getting a kick out of it. That's the kind of running joke we haven't had since pretty early in the show's history and even then, M&T were always fairly quick about real names. (I do hope, should he ever receive a
real' name, that his initials are PC.)

We have another new doctor. Dr. Gouache made that one cameo but seems to have been on some kind of extended vacation otherwise since s14 or so... but this one's Matt, interestingly.

A "ringing" in his ear, eh? Well, that didn't make things much clearer... at least it's not a sh*tting in his ear?
