I'll talk about the episode segments I've seen so far. /

"Help Not Wanted": Great! Cecil really feels like part of "Kamp Koral" as well! While that doesn't bode well for future appearances by Patrick's other Dad in "Spongebob Squarepants", I think it would be nice to get future appearances of Cecil in this show.

"Camp Spirit": Okay, but feels like kind of a wasted opportunity. With a ghost in this episode, they really should've gone all out, and had Kidferatu played up more, and had an appearance by The Flying Dutchman.

"Hill Fu": Very interesting to see how Spongebob got his Karate skills to fight against Sandy, and it feels like they've FINALLY integrated Nobby PROPERLY into "Spongebob Squarepants" continuity now!

"Sun's Out, Fun's Out": I really wish I had more to say, but I don't really have any strong feelings about this episode segment one way or the other.

"First And Last Aid": Interesting episode, but the writers were inconsistent about whether or not Spongebob actually COULD get hurt; unless it was DELIBERATELY a case of "Forgot About His Powers", but they could've made THAT point a little more clear!

"Night Of The Living Stench": How ironic, that SQUIDWARD; the one camper who wanted to STAY clean, ended up being the one to win an ACTUAL trophy for filthiest camper under the sea! Even when he actually WINS, he kind of; sort of loses!

"Camp Crossbones": A pretty interesting episode, but it would've been nice if they talked more about the time Mr. Krabs actually WAS a pirate (and brought back Captain Redbeard for THAT matter), but at least they actually referenced Mr. Krabs' navy days (so we now know where THAT fits into continuity)!

"A Jelly Life": An okay episode, but the concept was pulled off a LOT better in "Nature Pants". /

I'll write about the other segments as soon as I've seen them. Enough said, true believers!
