[4EverGreen]

Realistically, it was only a matter of time before Plankton had ALL he could stand of being stamped, stomped, squished, flattened, trod on, mushed, mashed, and yes; even stepped on. Unlike the LAST attempt to pair Sandy and Plankton together, this one works out surprisingly well, and come off as more natural! It's been quite a while since the LAST time both Spongebob and Sandy utilized their "Kar-rah-tay" skills! Honestly, Spongebob was probably the PERFECT character for Plankton to practice his self-defense skills on!...Too bad Plankton INEVITABLY decides to BREAK his promise to Sandy to use his skills ONLY for self-defense, as he manages to use his strength (or, as referenced in "Wonder Woman 1984", a character's own momentum AGAINST them) against Bubble Bass, and even a CRAZY PREPARED squad of ninjas hired by Mr. Krabs! (Although after all of the OTHER attempts Mr. Krabs has had to endure, he was probably TIRED of having to PERSONALLY dispose of Plankton, and was TRYING to "Cut the Knot"). However, Plankton is UNABLE to get revenge against Mr. Krabs, because Mr. Krabs doesn't actually HAVE feet, as they've worn away to NUBS due to all the wear and tear that Mr. Krabs has been through! Still, for trying something different, I'd give this episode a 9.5 out of 10. Enough said, true believers!
