The Storm wasn't that great of an episode...

The plot had many holes. First off, Stella picks up 3 red fruits in the beginning but she only pulls out 2 red ones and 1 yellow and 1 green one. What's up? (Not really something that made me hate the episode. Just wanted to point it out) Second, where were the minion pigs? Surely they just wouldn't have let Gale go out on her own. They didn't pair Stella and Gale together as well as they did in To The Bitter End, and made the pairing seemed more forced. It would have been better if Gale was with the Minion Pigs, Stella was with her friends, and only Stella and Gale went on the log that started to roll down.

There was a whole lot of bad stuff too. First of all, I felt that the sequence with Stella underneath the plant was unnessecary and there could have been more time there for character development if they had just went straight to the cave together. They wasted around a minute or less on that part....

The perfume part was interesting, though. You can begin to see some of the ice breaking through on Stella and Gale's once again broken relationship, and that they really should be best friends. They even used the same background music from To The Bitter End episode. It was a nice touch.

The part where they had to build their own nests wasn't that great either. It was very out of character to have Stella not help Gale on her own nest, as it is only part of her personality to help others. How it should have went is that Stella and Gale don't have that whole issue and just start building a bigger nest or a tent together.

The part with the food wasn't great either. If they wanted Stella and Gale to rebel, they should have done something more drastic than... food. Like, Stella went super sayan over Gale eating the food and it just didn't make any more sense. And literally, there was berries and stuff all over the place that Stella didn't pick up for no apparent reason.

And of course, the farting skunk-like animal only comes out when the plot wants it to.

And during the fighting sequence, Gale finally showed her super powers which of course, only appears when the plot wants it to. Gale should have just tried to jump, land on her face, and have had the title card say "Fale". (Gale+ Fail) That would have been some good laughs. And when that stone head fell on Gale, I swear that I thought they were going to try to kill her again.

There could have been two perfectly good outcomes to this episode. So i'll name both...

One, Stella's friends come out at the end of the storm and Stella realizes that Gale's a jerk and leaves Gale with the stone head and farting animal.

Two, Stella's friends and the pigs come out at the end of the storm and Gale is forced to choose between the two.

Both would have served better than the choppy, pointless ending that we got. Stella basically left Gale to suffocate and walked away, when you think about it.

Please please please get better, season 2... season 1 was so good...
