| Review | - South Park's season finale was a mixed bag in terms of tying everything together. While it did offer a satisfying mix of PC, ads and gentrification, the resolution felt like a first draft in need of some serious editing. For one, the overall message here was unclear , as Matt and Trey made PC Principal a hero, Mr. Mackey a traitor and Whole Foods a sentient being. Despite this, "PC Principal Final Justice" was still slightly more focused than last year's finale -- although that isn't saying much. I just wish Kyle would have gotten his chance to give a big speech at the end and make sense of it all.
- The episode gets even more complicated in its final moments. Since PCP has saved the day, he’s asked to stay on as principal of South Park Elementary. Just as it seems that normalcy has been restored in the community, he’s giving one of his trademark inspirational speeches to a gym full of blank-faced students. However, his demeanor is somewhat different. He seems quieter, less aggressive, and not as much of a violent goon as when we first met him. The differences are subtle, but if you watch the two clips back to back, it’s clear there’s been a change.
