Season 10 wants and expectations

cwn said:
Not really. All three are pretty decent, IMO. I think the worst in each season are:
Season 1: I Was A Teenage Gary
Season 2: Bossy Boots
Season 3: Ugh
And only one of those is actually bad.

Please name exactly why the episodes that I mentioned were bad.

... Is it bad that I really want to see this?

It would make much more sense to find out that post-movie is in a different dimension or something. And I think it would be fun to see classic SpongeBob's reaction to the current SpongeBob. MAKE IT HAPPEN SB CREW! :O

They would never do something like that for several reasons:
- I doubt they deliberately write new SpongeBob as "post-movie SpongeBob". By that I mean the current SpongeBob is just the current writers' take on the character rather than a conscious decision to differentiate him from classic SpongeBob. In order to have classic and current SpongeBob meet, they'd have to write the classic version like he was 10 years ago. But if they were able to do that, there wouldn't be a "new SpongeBob" in the first place; the current SpongeBob would be the same as classic SpongeBob.
- It would cater to a group of people who aren't in Nickelodeon's target demographic anymore. (People who remember what SpongeBob was like 10 years ago.) I doubt there are many 2-11 year olds or casual viewers who even know that there are eras of the show, especially since Nick plays episodes from all seasons randomly. For most people it would just be confusing.
- The main reason: post-movie isn't in a different dimension. :p


I wouldn't mind another time shift/travel episode, though. I particularly liked episodes like "Dunces and Dragons" and "Back to the Past" where it was SpongeBob himself travelling to the other time period rather than an ancestor of his.

And there isn't a Krusty Krab 2. :P Bottom line is, they can make it a different dimension if the crew wants (But you are correct, they wouldn't do that).

But I never said they were going to do one, just expressed that I think the idea is pretty neat.

The absence of the KK 2 is due to the fact that the movie is considered SpongeBob's last adventure.

Considered by who? It still doesn't make much sense.

So does that mean the second movie is SpongeBob's first adventure? Or will THAT one be his last? No sense. I think the crew just wrote KK 2 out of the timeline. Although it is improving on the canon, it still is pretty bad.

I've heard on SBM before that Stephen himself confirmed it. And the second movie was declared to not be a sequel of the first movie in the second movie thread. It's it's own thing.

Source? I'm not doubting you, but I would like to read more into it. Nearly most episodes are their own thing in the universe. It just doesn't have a clear timeline.

I'm not sure where it is exactly, because I read it a while ago. You would have to ask DadMom or someone else for it. :)

I'm not sure if there's been any specific source which explicitly says so, but since the movie was intended to be the finale and the episodes following it don't acknowledge any of the changes (Krusty Krab 2, SpongeBob as manager) it is placed at the end of the timeline by default.

The second movie not being a sequel to the first one was confirmed by Paul Tibbitt himself on Twitter.

Is there a timeline drawn out somewhere? The timeline still doesn't seem very clear to me, excluding KK 2.

Stephen Hillenburg. :3 The movie was supposed to be the ending to the series, but Nick wanted MOAR!

Did you think I didn't know that or something? :3 We all know the movie was supposed to be the end, but they brought it back.

But there is no concrete proof that Season 4 is before the events of the movie.

If you want to get technical, you could say Season 7 took place before Season 5 and that Season 8 took place after 9. I doubt the crew sat down at the table and said, ''Okay, we are going to bring back this series, and it's going to take place before the movie.'' Matter fact, I doubt they care much at all about a timeline like we do. You can spot many errors in the show that are contradictions with previous episodes. Like I said, I doubt they care about a timeline or following one.
 
The series happened. The Movie happened, and it was supposed to be the end of the series. SpongeBob's arc ended. He became the manager of the Krusty Krab, and he was okay with being a kid, but he still gained maturity. The series didn't need to go on after that point- It was the end. But Nick brought it back. Steve has stated that the movie is the end point of the series, and it makes sense. If it wasn't, then wouldn't SpongeBob be the Manager of the KK from Season 4 on? Wouldn't there be two Krusty Krabs? And while the show doesn't really have much continuity, it makes more sense to put the movie after everything in the series because it's a logical end to SpongeBob's character arc and the series as a whole.

Think of the movie as a Series Finale made way too early, and the rest of the show just continues off of Season 3.

Okay.

Exclude the KK 2.

Ditch it. Forget it for a second.

There are still errors in the so called timeline. I doubt there is a timeline. I don't think the crew sits down and says, ''Okay, we have to make sure this episode fits cleanly in the timeline.'' I doubt they care.

Back onto the movie... it can be regarded as the series finale. But it's not official by any sense. I accept it as the end, but there is no clear timeline for the show.

Here is something that doesn't make sense to me. Does Patrick have a sister or not? The show just doesn't have a very clear timeline. And SpongeBob SquarePants isn't the only show to suffer from this... Fairly OddParents now suffer from a muddy timeline.

Plus, if we wanna talk about canon... why did SpongeBob change his personality for most of the episodes in Season 6?

Oh wow, I didn't see this post. I could have sworn page three was the last page. X_X I guess I had the tab open for too long and didn't see the replies. :S

They should have an episode where SpongeBob and Sandy go back in time to older episodes and ruin what happens in them, so it'll mess up the future. Or even they go through different dimentions like in "Phineas and Ferb: The Second Dimension". Those would be good season closers.

Actually I did make a short lived fanfic about that!

Patrick probably forgot he had a sister just like he forgets other things like his name in Whelk Attack.

But she wasn't on the family tree. It wasn't officially confirmed that she was adopted ether.
