Since we know his relationship with Eileen was cannon, the coon’s attitude turned from a stupid guy who was impulsive and made rush decisions, to a sensitive, clever dude without losing his loyalty and fun. Rigby: This season star alongside his boss had the strongest development ever on the show.
JG said on Twitter that there were clues through the season: trillion dollar budget, space suits, advanced survival skills (first experiment), the experiments, etcetera. And its hyped, stellar ending with the park taking off Earth and going outter space. This arc became larger and larger with such great development involving suspense, mistery, action throughout eleven episodes. Pops got so disturbed that he developed a mysterious special power. The more this arc went forward, the more Benson and the crew found annoying the experiment. He also found love on a scientist named Pam, who was quite fond on him. Dome Arc involved Benson’s character development, who was incredulous about the second Dome experiment and caused so much confusion in his mind. All Dome details were odd: huge security, the Lodge behind it, Maellard, Gene, scientists testing the Park crew 24/7, super weird experiments involving a cloning machine, fake Park crew, a mutant cyborg, underground labs, an anti-gravity machine. Except Benson, who spent 30 days applying his survival skills with a hawk in order to get important information and show he was cheated. Maellard was planning something with his park, and nobody was aware or wondering about what he was up to. But it came back once at Chilli Cook Off and then on The Button. Rigby made a huge improvement, he made his girlfriend, family and friends happy, but mostly himself after achieving soemthing he didn’t care but wanted to.ģ) The Dome: it all started with an special episode. This arc finished in the finale, where Rigby had to write a speech or else Principal Dean would “eat your diploma” and he needed a jealous Mordecai, who finally gave his support to his best friend and could finish it. But before that he had the prom and another challenge: have his father’s respect, which was hard but nothing like a risky downhill drive to gain it. Our fave coon did good on everything and had his diploma. He went through dangerous caves, a trip to China (!!) with Benson as his teacher and confront his bully who came up to be a substitute PE teacher. His decision to get his GED was a consecuence of his relationship with Eileen (The Eileen Plan), trying to pass three classes to finish high school. Besides that, I think this ship was put on hiatus and it would come back some time in the future.Ģ) Rigby’s High School Diploma (or Rigby’s GED): an awesome, strong arc which developed Rigby a lot from being that goofy friend to a guy who matured improving his life. Specially on Snow Tubing where they acted relaxed and have funny, good moments there. And this was good for Mordaret, the following episodes we could see them act as good friends. After awkward situacions at the cinema, go-kart and a Japanese restaurant (previous reference to Steak Me Amadeus, one of the best season finales until S7), where Daisuke the chef showed Mordecai and Margaret’s future if their relationship went on, a stop sign was put by them because Margaret had a carreer on Channel Six and Mordecai wanted to take things easier on relationships and his life than before. After being rescued by Rigby, this arc finished on Just Friends, where Mordecai and Margaret were forced to go out after Eileen and Rigby had to go to Don’s tae-kwon-do graduation. So let’s go!ġ) Mordecai’s drama: Season 7 started with Mordecai going to an island where guys get over from their break-ups after Benson and Sad Sax told him to go.
All that expectations were fulfilled with 39 episodes plus a movie which, in my opinion, ended up being the best season since Season 4.
The crew hyped fans with Season 7 while Season 6 was on air and since 2015 New York Comic Con with the finale. We came from a season which had the best special ever, Mordecai breaking up with CJ (because of Margaret’s return after one season) and Rigleen as canon. And as all reviews, opinions are subjective and depend on writer’s point of view, so you can agree with this or not.
I remind you I’m not English-speaking native, although I studied it many years. I should apologize for some word repetitions and grammar errors. I’m gonna separate into parts: arcs, character development, other episodes and final thoughts.
This is my full review of one of Regular Show’s best seasons ever.
