As for your review of Little Yellow Book. In all honestly, I just found the episode to be such a poorly written episode. I usually don't like Squidward getting punished for no reason but when Squidward actually does something bad and doesn't even feel bad about seems just weird for me. Yeah, after all these years, Squidward abuse seems to be toned down, so that's a good thing and I wouldn't mind if he's still a jerk person but remember that Squidward's heart is still in a good place, so this kind of behaviour from him to not be sorry for SpongeBob felt OOC or at least flanderization for me. This episode doesn't seem to understand who we should be rooting for, so it ends up being such a messy story for me. I don't feel like this episode fixed Squidward abuse issue properly. I prefer Squidward to be a jerk who gets what he deserves but at least make him miserable at the end of this episode. He just laughs. In the end, the only person that didn't deserve all this is SpongeBob who managed to stay sad at the end. I just felt bad for SpongeBob more than I hated Squidward in the episode. So yeah, I'm still not such a fan. The writing is poor and it has no clue of who we were supposed to be rooting for.
Yeah It Came from Goo Lagoon wasn't that good but still pretty decent-ish episode.
tbh I wasn't fan of Sold's humor but to each of our own.
I remember enjoying Seance Schmeance but yeah, it's not one of the strongest episodes of the show.
I also think Mall Girl Pearl was fantastic. One of the best episodes in a while. Same wih Eek An Urchin!
Plankton's Pet is still my favorite season 9 episode to this day. <33333333
