| NetsDaily Off-Season Report - No. 2 |
| Posted on Monday, April 28 @ 00:00:38 PDT (6 reads) | |
|
May 12, may 12, may 12!
it’s a big, big, big deal, but as we’ve said all year long, the nba draft lottery is not the rebuild. And unless mark tatum, nba deputy commissioner, is holding up a card with the brooklyn nets logo, the lottery is not even the 2025 draft. Because other than flagg and rutgers dylan harper, there are questions about every other prospect and at the moment the brooklyn nets have three other firsts and a second.
most importantly, this is not the end of the rebuild. It’s the beginning. That became obvious last week when sean marks and jordi fernandez faced the media and spoke in very clear terms about the team’s long-term plans. Marks made it a point to mention not just how many first rounders the nets have in this draft, but the number through 2031: a robust 15.
that said, two weeks from tuesday will be huge for the franchise and the fans. We’ll have more on the details, how the process works, the closer we get but today we want to look at some issues leading up the lottery ... How we got there. (A side note. When betting on where the nets will pick, do not choose no. 5. The way the math works, the nets have no chance at no. 5.)
tanking
the nets set some franchise records this season, just not the kind you like to read about. Brooklyn had 27 players under contract at one point or another this season. That’s one. And per jeff stotts of instreet clothes, the site that monitors injuries and illness, nets players missed 374 games to injury and illness, stotts wrote us. That’s also franchise record as well as the second biggest in the nba, behind only the 76ers whose tanking was legendary.
and as we’ve already reported, brooklyn had a worst record than philly since december 15, the opening day of trade season.
does that sound like tanking? Yes, it does. But the nets, from the locker room to the executive suite, will say they never tanked, crediting jordi fernandez, his staff and players with a desire to win every game until they were mathematically eliminated. (They will admit to not upgrading the roster.)
d’angelo russell addressed the issue during the season, crediting fernandez with a refuse-to-lose mentality.
“i wasn’t familiar with a lot of guys. I wasn’t familiar with the coaching staff, for them to welcome me with open arms and make it comfortable for me right away, and watch the genius jordi is,” said d’lo, explaining, “watching him prepare for these games, not knowing who’s going to play, not knowing who’s gonna start, or who can finish, who can’t play, minute restrictions, et cetera. For him to still find a way to get straight wins and keep everybody’s energy and spirit high. I think the future’s bright here.”
so what’s the bottom line. It seems pretty simple: other teams tanked harder. Good for them. But none of it will matter till may 12.
scouting
keeping track of who the nets — or any team — has scouted isn’t easy. There’s no website that monitors which teams have sent scouts to collegiate or international games. It’s a state secret, but every once in a while, “stuff” gets out. Reporters who primarily cover college ball, guys like adam zagoria of nj.Com will ask collegiate sports information directors who’s got credentials for a game as part of their coverage (for which we are eternally grateful.) In other words, it’s hit and miss.
which games have attracted the most nets scouts? That’s easy. Any game that dylan harper and ace bailey have played at rutgers. Picking through social media and talking to people, we find that there were nets scouts at every one of the scarlet knight 15 home games. Sean marks had good seats at around 10 of them, often accompanied by b.J. Johnson, his no. 2 and the front office executive who’s run the draft for brooklyn the last five years. They were even in attendance the night before the nba trade deadline, no cell phones in sight!

and nights where the gm and assistant gm weren’t on hand other nets scouts were. One night in january, we read that andrew ford, the nets director of scouting, and shawn mccullion, who’s been a scout since 2018, were at jersey mike’s arena in piscataway.
why so many? As one nets front office type told netsdaily with a smile, “there’s a lot to see.” A scout for another nba team told us that of course they went. With two top players only 40 miles away from your training center it’s the smart thing to do. You see how they interact, how their games develop, how they react to various situations. Scouts can also compare notes.
a totally unscientific survey of social and other media hints who the nets have seen multiple times. Of course, the duke contingent — cooper flagg, khaman maluach, kon knueppel, isaiah evans, etc. — Has gotten a lot of attention. We don’t have the level of detail we have with rutgers, but it should be noted that johnson lives only 50 miles from the duke.
beyond that we’ve seen reports that lottery found bigs derek green, the 6’10” maryland five, and rasheer fleming, the 6’9” st. Joseph’s power forward, have attracted multiple visits from the nets scouting corps. Reportedly one of the nba’s biggest.
overseas, we’ve seen reports that the nets have scouted nolan traore, the 6’5” french point guard who’s seen as a mid-first prospect. In addition, as we’ve previously reported, sean marks traveled to australia in september to look at the nbl’s best. Rocco zikarsky, a 7’3” center, has been linked to the nets in some mocks.
just this weekend, there was a report out of china what the nets traveled to the city of qingdao to look at hansen yang, the 7’1” big known as the “nikola jokic” of china...
yang hansens prospect of the 2025 nba draft: over the past two seasons, six nba teams — the atlanta hawks, new orleans pelicans, indiana pacers, brooklyn nets, charlotte hornets, and minnesota timberwolves — have sent scouts to china to specifically evaluate yang hansen.
— titan sports (@titan_plus)[pic.Twitter.Com/grjrs649s2][april 26, 2025]
of course, nba scouts look at players not just as a draft prospect but for two-way deals and training camp invites. And the nets do play two games in macao, china, to open the 2025-26 preseason. Just sayin’.
the nets have another advantage: the location of barclays center. In addition to scouting players like cooper flagg and his fellow dukies, derik queen of maryland and tre johnson of texas have all practiced at hss, the dukies multiple times, prior to games at msg and barclays. One apparently liked the experience...

workouts
expect a little news between now and may 29. The g league elite camp (where the nets scouted jacky cui last year) will take place at the wintrust arena in chicago on may 9-11. Then the day before the lottery, the nba draft combine will open, also at wintrust, and run through may 18.
last year, there were 78 prospects invited. There will be measurements, scrimmages and interviews, often with team psychologists on hand. You can only get a finite amount of “feel” for a player from scouting or talking to the prospect’s coaches, from aau to college. There’s no substitute for personal contact.
leaks out of chicago will be the order of the day. This player is shorter than projected, that player has a longer wingspan. Another guy completely flubbed his interview. Be skeptical of all of it.
the final combine, the adidas eurocamp in treviso, italy, runs may 31-june 2. Expect some international players to rise. They always do.
then, with the draft order finally set, prospects will start making the trek to hss training center on 39th street in brooklyn for more workouts, scrimmages, interviews (and more leaks.) Marks, jordi fernandez, and assistant gm b.J. Johnson will all be on hand.
how many players will take the elevator to the eighth floor at hss and we wowed by the great window? A good bet, based on what we know from the recent past, is around 75. The last workouts can take place as late as the week before the draft. In fact, in 2021, the nets interviewed cam thomas the tuesday before the thursday draft. Already committed to day’ron sharpe, marks traded landry shamet for the 29th pick and wound up with both thomas and sharpe.
draft sleeper of the week
jeremiah fears is not the youngest player in the nba draft. Cooper flagg and noa essengue, last week’s draft sleeper of the week, are both two months younger than fears. But the 6’4” oklahoma freshman has the look of a star. His athleticism is matched by his flash.
take a look his highlight package.
remind you of anyone? Minus the baggage?
just this week, jonathan givony of espn put him no. 4 on his top 100 and wrote extensively about his preparation (in new york.) Givony was effusive.
fears moves up two spots on our board from our last check-in as he has created significant buzz in nba circles, based on conversations we’ve had with scouts and executives at recent events such as the nike hoop summit, ncaa final four and portsmouth invitational.
we recently got a dose of what nba teams are about to witness in private settings watching fears work out in new york city alongside the likes of kam jones, boogie fland, hunter sallis and karter knox under the guidance of trainer, agent and former nba player mike miller. Fears is rapidly progressing physically and athletically, while his jumper is coming along nicely. His age, upside and fluidity and creativity with the ball will cause every team in the top seven to want a take a deep look at him in the predraft process to make sure they aren’t missing out on significant star potential.
nba teams say fears’ star power will be hard to pass up in the middle portion of the lottery, even for teams that have established point guard options in place. His combination of size, speed, pace, shot creation, shotmaking and scoring instincts make him one of the draft’s most talented prospects. He gets anywhere he wants on the floor, either to create opportunities for teammates dishing on the move, finish skillfully in the lane or get to the free throw line in bunches.
givony thinks he doesn’t get beyond seventh.
final note
the nets never missing a marketing opportunity, whether in paris, montreal, macao or prospect heights is sponsoring a draft lottery party for season ticket holders at barclays center on may 12. If you take a shot of xanax followed by champagne, what’s the ultimate effect? |

| Illinois Football Strengthens O-Line with Idaho Transfer Nathan Knapik |
| Posted on Monday, April 28 @ 00:00:38 PDT (5 reads) | |

Bart miller’s offensive line continues to gain added depth and talent, with this offseason highlighting a strong focus on the “familly” motto for the illinois football front-five.
247 sports’ matt zenitz reported on saturday (4/26) that illinois football has secured another commitment from the portal — officially signing wyoming offensive tackle nathan knapik , the younger brother of fellow illini offseason transfer portal addition aydan knapik . The kennewick, washington native is the third addition of the offseason the offseason for the o-line, including his brother. Idaho offensive tackle transfer nathan knapik has signed with illinois, @chris_hummer and i have learned.
the 6-foot-7, 285-pound knapik has three years of eligibility remaining. Https://t.Co/10sz3ywnkg pic.Twitter.Com/rxj50egfkj

how knapik fits with illinois football a former 3-star in the class of 2024 , the redshirt-freshman stands in at a massive 6’7 and 285 pounds, which provides the fighting illini with a highly intriguing developmental option for the long term . Pending a little bit of work with coach tank wright to add some weight and strength, as well as work on some conditioning, knapik is certainly built to compete in the big ten.
notably, illinois returns all five starters from 2024-25’s season-ending citrus bowl game victory , which is not only fantastic for luke altmyer and barry lunney jr’s offense but also gives transfers like nathan and his brother aydan the opportunity to develop physically and get acclimated to the program before facing some of the toughest defensive lines in college football.
however, with some work, knapik has the frame and ability to be a good long-term option at the tackle position. Oct 12, 2024. Champaign, illinois. Illinois fighting illini. Offensive lineman j.C. Davis. Memorial stadium. Mandatory credit. Ron johnson-imagn images. |

| James Franklin Handed Tough Trebor Pena Verdict as Drew Allars Fate Cleared by P |
| Posted on Monday, April 28 @ 00:00:38 PDT (53 reads) | |
|
|
Last season’s orange bowl left a deep scar on penn state, especially in the receiving aspect. Zero catches from wideouts. Brutally humiliating. And then the nittany lions lost wrs trey wallace and omari evans to the portal. But let’s give james franklin some credit for trying to not let history repeat itself. The man went aggressive as if on a mission in his transfer portal push for wrs. First came kyron hudson from usc, then troy transfer devonte ross. And now? He just pulled another rabbit out of the hat. Syracuse’s trebor pena is officially a nittany lion.
uplifting sure, but it’s not all sunshine and roses for penn state’s wr room though. Zach seyko laid it out straight in an episode on locked on nittany lions on april 27. While the perception is that trebor pena could be an immediate starter, there are factors that are going to bar this from happening. “I still think there’s going to be a time adjustment,” he pointed out. “You have to bring him in, get him situated because he missed all of spring camp. That’s an opportunity to like i said with ross and hudson build chemistry, learn the playbook, get in sync with drew allar.” Summer workouts will help but it takes longer than just one brief season to break into a new program. “It’s not impossible but it’s an uphill battle,” seyko added. Pena’s going to start in the slot but there’s going to be a learning curve. There’s no going around that.

still, it’s hard not to get excited. Trebor pena dropped a 941-yard, 9-td season on 84 receptions at syracuse. Yeah, the orange loved slinging the football but those numbers pop no matter which system you’re on. The 6’0, 184-pounder is a reliable route runner and understands body positioning like a pro. With one year of eligibility remaining, he’s james franklin’s highest-rated transfer this offseason.
penn state wr coach marques hagans even said it himself — “i think the objective is to be the best in the country at every position, and we’re working to become that. And until we become that, then yes, we do need help at receiver.” Pena, hudson, and ross. Perhaps not the best in the nation but it better be better than it was last january. Hudson’s the steady hand, ross brings the speed, and trebor pena’s the technician who can get open on anyone. Will this trio wreck the big ten? Maybe not, but they absolutely raise the floor especially when you’ve got a qb like drew allar who’s still trying to turn raw traits into dominance.

james franklin’s qb2 battle heating up behind drew allar
drew allar threw for 3,327 yards and 24 tds last year, and somehow people didn’t spare him. But for now, he’s still the unrivaled starter in his third season in happy valley. But the backup job? It’s a full-blown dogfight. James franklin made it clear, penn state’s qb battle is about to go “right up to the wire this season.” After the blue-white game, it looks like jaxon smolik might have a slight edge. He was the first guy up after allar. But we can’t sleep on ethan grunkemeyer who the hc is also hyping up.
what’s your perspective on:
can trebor penas arrival finally turn penn states wr woes into a big ten triumph?
have an interesting take?
both the competitors are legit. Redshirt sophomore smolik missed the 2024 season due to an injury but has come back strong. Redshirt freshman grunkemeyer got a real taste of college football during the playoffs even if it was just two throws. And james franklin is optimistic. He trusts both enough to throw either into the fire if their qb1 goes down. With the spring portal closed, zach seyko feels that the qb room looks white promising — “you have not one but two reliable backups behind drew allar… i wouldn’t be surprised if it’s a rotation.”

the nittany lions also have broken kritza and jack lambert in the qb room behind the two main qb2 competitors. They’ll open up against nevada on august 30.

(Photo credits: imagn) alabama had a fairly productive 2025 nfl draft, with seven tide players getting selected. That said, even alabama doesnt have a 100% success rate. Four tide players who worked out at alabamas pro day didnt get drafted, two of whom were projected by some as likely draft picks. Heres a rundown on the tide stars who were left out.

In 2024, he caught 21 passes for 256 yards. Hes nearly 6-foot-5 tall and at around 255 pounds, had the physicality to block nfl rushers, but also enough speed (4.69 second 40-yard dash) to make catches over the middle
many draft observers thought dippre would be picked, potentially in the fifth or sixth round. Instead, less utilized bama te robbie ouzts was a fifth round pick, while dippre was left waiting. Dippre has indicated that hell sign a free agent deal with the new england patriots to pursue his nfl dreams.
ad james burnip, p an aussie punter, burnip was one of the best ever to play for the tide. He averaged 43.9 yards per punt in his college career, second in alabama history. As a senior, burnip averaged 45.4 yards per kick.
burnip was ranked as the second best punter in the draft by draft guru dane brugler. Unfortunately for him, only one punter, florida states jeremy crawshaw (who brugler had ahead of burnip) was selected in the draft. Burnip has signed a free agent deal with the new orleans saints. Hell get a legitimate shot at the nfl.
ad graham nicholson, k nicholson, who transferred from miami of ohio , was 8 for 10 on field goals in his lone season at alabama, including a 51-yard make in the bowl game against michigan. He was 60-for-71 at miami and demonstrated incredible reliability.
dane brugler projected nicholson as the eighth best kicker and only two were chosen in the draft. No nfl destination has been announced for nicholson, but he seems likely to ink a free agent deal ahead of training camp.
ad kneeland hibbett, ls hibbett is a long snapper, which makes him even less likely to have been picked than a kicker. One long snapper was selected in the draft, and it wasnt hibbett. He was ranked as the nations no. 9 draft-eligible long snapper by dane brugler. Hibbett has inked a free agent deal with the miami dolphins and will try to make a roster of practice squad via that route.

| Huff preparing for showdown with Indiana as a Kentucky All-Star |
| Posted on Monday, April 28 @ 00:00:38 PDT (5 reads) | |
|
|
For the next several weeks, maddox huff will be working out and practicing for the annual kentucky-indiana all-star game series.
and the two-time all-stater from harlan county high school is very excited about the opportunity to play with and against the top basketball seniors from both states. He will be the first player from hchs to participate in the annual series.
“it’s awesome. It’s a great honor,” said huff, a 6-foot-3 guard from baxter. “I know there’s been many, many great players to play in that game. I was fortunate to play in the (kentucky-indiana) junior all-star game last year, which is not as big deal as a senior. In the senior one, we have practices and stuff. I think there are five total practices before the (first) game. But getting to play with other kids going to college, division i players, and against highly-rated and highly-recruited players is super exciting, and i’m looking forward to playing.”
the first game of the series will take place on friday, june 6 at lexington catholic high school with the second game on saturday, june 7 in indianapolis.
one of huff’s teammates on kentucky’s all-star roster includes future uk player and prep all-american malachi moreno of great crossing high school, who has been named mr. Basketball for the state of kentucky.
after the all-star games, huff will be focusing on east tennessee state university in johnson city where he signed with the buccaneers to play basketball. Etsu is coming off a 19-13 season, one of the best in program history.
asked what attracted him the most to play at etsu, huff said there were many factors that went into his collegiate decision.
“if i had to pick one, i would probably say the main one was just coach (brooks) savage, the head coach,” he said. “I feel like the relationship with the head coach is a really big important thing. I feel like me and coach savage have a great relationship. He was the only head coach who visited my house and heavily recruited me himself.
“usually, it’s assistant coaches trying to sell you on the head coach, but in this situation, it was the head coach telling his assistants, ‘this is our guy.’ So i’m really, really excited to play for him. He’s super high energy, super intense.
“but outside of that, it’s a great area, a great spot, not too far from home. I know my parents don’t want me to go too far. And they’ve (the bucs) had some great success in the past few years so i hope to continue that down there.”
johnson city is less than a two-hour drive from harlan.
“a lot of people have told me they’re going to come down and watch, so i’m excited for that,” said huff, an academic star who excels in the classroom, earning a 4.0 gpa and a strong score of 27 on the act.
when he is on the hardwood floor, huff said he would prefer playing as a point guard rather than shooting guard. But he said either position, or whatever coach savage needs, is fine with him.
“i feel like i’ll be playing a little bit of both while i’m there because i feel like playing as a two or shooting guard that can handle the ball is a plus to have on the floor,” said huff, who recently was named the 13th region player of the year.
“growing up, i was always a point guard really until after my junior season and into aau that season. I was just a straight point guard. I didn’t play anything other than point guard. But in aau last season and then this past season in high school, i didn’t play much of it because i was in more of a scoring role. Playing with trent (noah) all those years, he was our main scorer, and one of my main jobs was to find him and get him the ball so he could score.
“if i had to pick one (position), i would probably say point guard because i like making plays for other people. I like scoring and shooting threes, but making plays, seeing plays develop is something i enjoy and i feel like i’m good at.”
by the way, noah, a former harlan county high standout who recently finished his outstanding year as a freshman at uk, is huff’s first cousin. They both played together for a long time, including four years at harlan county high.
huff was asked about his favorite memory about noah.
“there are tons of memories with the team and with just him,” smiled huff, who averaged 29.4 points and 7.9 rebounds last season while leading harlan county high to a 25-9 mark. “Going through workouts every day can get really draining and exhausting, but having somebody going through it with you is awesome, knowing that they’re going for the same goals and stuff is super cool, and you push each other through that.
“but if i had to pick one story, it’d probably be one time we were going in the morning to shoot before school at about 5:30 a lot of days in a row. I think we were doing it too much and we ended up falling asleep in the locker room before even getting to shoot and woke up to the bell ringing for school. So that’d probably be my favorite or funniest memory that i have of him.”
huff said his all-time favorite moment as a high school player took place at rupp arena during his junior year.
“i would have to say probably playing in the elite eight of the sweet 16 when we beat campbell county (85-71 in 2024),” huff said. “We were down, i think 17 with two minutes left in the third quarter, and ended up going to overtime and then coming back to win that game. It was just a special moment for all of us. Everybody kind of thought the season was over. That was super special and that run we had when i was a junior was just a special time.”
in that game against campbell county, noah and huff were sensational, gunning in 48 and 22 points, respectively. Both also grabbed nine rebounds each.
harlan county later finished as the state tournament runner-up, dropping to former uk player travis perry and lyon county in the championship game.
this past march, the black bears, after winning the 52nd district tournament title, came close to making their second straight trip to the state tourney, but they lost in the 13th region semifinals in corbin.
“we got beat by north laurel, who ended up going to the elite eight of the state tournament,” said huff. “They’re a good team. You know you’re going to have games where you’re going to have things go your way. Like my junior year when we made that big run, we had a lot of games, single-digit games, possession-by-possession games that the ball just bounced our way. At the end of that north laurel game, it just didn’t bounce our way. I don’t think there was much we could have done differently. I just think that was the plan for us, not to make it that way. But still we had a great season and a great team that we lost to.”
huff also made several trips to rupp arena to watch noah play for the wildcats, including no. 15 uk’s 75-64 victory over no. 5 tennessee in mid-february. Noah hit 11 points, including 3 of 4 three-pointers.
“it was just awesome to see him do that in such a big-time game,” said huff of noah. “Tennessee was ranked in top 10 in the nation so to see him do that against them was awesome. Super happy for him and grateful that i’m able to be there and watch him with my schedule going on and everything.”
growing up, huff said his favorite athlete was his brother, cameron carmical.
“i’m not sure if you know cameron, but he played at eku for four years (2017-21) and i watched him through high school (at harlan county),” huff said. “He did what i wanted to do and seeing him do that. That kind of made me want to do the same thing as him, and that’s where i got the dream of going d1 (ncaa division i) and playing college basketball. He was my favorite athlete.”
huff’s grandfather, charles perky bryant, also played football at uk during the early 1960s.
in addition to basketball, huff said he enjoys listening to a lot of music and playing a lot of video games. “That’s something not many people know,” commented huff. “They probably think that basketball is all i do, but outside of that, i do a lot of video games and music.”
and you can add golf to his hobby list.
“me and my brother and trent are going to go play golf in the morning. So i’ve started playing golf a little bit,” huff said with a smile.
huff, who has taken a few dual-credit classes at southeast kentucky community and technical college, isn’t sure about his academic plans at etsu.
“it’s still something i’ve thought about,” he said. “My brother is in accounting right now at uk and he enjoys that, so i can see something in that field for sure. But still undecided right now. I’ll probably just do some general courses and stuff to kind of feel out what i want for sure.”
etsu is looking forward to having huff on the floor this fall.
“maddox is a winning player,” said coach savage in november when huff signed with the school. “His love for the game, work ethic and desire to come to etsu makes this a great fit. His toughness, passing and shooting will undoubtedly add value to our program. He comes from a great family and plays for a terrific coach in kyle jones at harlan county. We are excited to have maddox join our program.”

| The Last Of Us Season 2, Episode 3 Recap: On The Road Again |

Hey folks. Y’all feeling alright after last week’s harrowing episode of the last of us? Everybody have a productive therapy session to talk about your tv peepaw’s death? Alright, cool, because we’re gonna spend this week’s episode doing more therapy and leaning harder into the show’s worst tendencies. Strap in, folks. I’m about to start swinging.
post trauma
we open on the bloody aftermath of the battle in jackson. Corpses, human and infected, are scattered across the small town. But the body we linger on didn’t come from the massive clash; it’s joel’s. In a somber moment, tommy (gabriel luna) comes to the morgue to see his big brother. He starts to clean his arm and sees the broken watch on his wrist. He gives his brother one more longing look and tells him to “give sarah [his] love” before getting back to work.
last week, i was admittedly pretty dismissive of some of these smaller added moments of grief the show adds to what was in the last of us part ii, the game on which this season is based. Ellie crawling to joel’s body and cuddling up to him felt performative to me in the moment, and maybe that was more me reacting to the show’s broader lack of restraint than to the scene itself. But this scene with tommy landed for me because we got remarkably little of tommy’s grief in part ii, and because it wasn’t led up to by 10 minutes of monologuing and telling me what to feel. Tommy is speaking to joel, not to the audience.
we then see a bustling hospital full of the injured from the battle. Ellie is also here after manny kicked her in the chest and seemingly collapsed one of her lungs. She’s breathing weakly through a chest tube as she wakes, but immediately starts screaming as she remembers what abby did to joel until she’s sedated. Cut to credits.
we then jump forward to three months later. Things are warming up, and jackson has made good progress rebuilding after the battle against the horde. Ellie, meanwhile, has also made good progress and is getting her final check-up with the doctors after her injuries. But she has to see one more person before she can leave the hospital: gail (catherine o’hara).
as i said in the episode one recap, gail is one of my least favorite additions in the show, not because o’hara isn’t wonderful, but because she facilitates some of the show’s worst tendencies. Ellie, clearly telling gail what she thinks she wants to hear, now unloads about how she misses joel, laments that the “last time” they spoke was the new year’s dance fiasco, and says that your final moments with someone shouldn’t define your life with them. Then when the conversation veers into when joel supposedly “wronged” her, ellie says she doesn’t know what he could have meant and wishes she could have “let him off the hook” for that, but that she’ll also need to “let herself off the hook” for not being able to do so.
gail lets ellie go but seems mostly unconvinced by her performative response to her line of questioning. And as soon as they’re done, ellie’s chipper facade falls away quickly, and the smile disappears from her face as quickly as she put it on. The irony of this scene is that ellie is speaking aloud the things she will eventually learn, even if she doesn’t believe any of it right now. She pulls off a convincing enough performance to leave the facility, but there was still part of me that felt suspicious of this exchange after the show has already proven it doesn’t trust its audience to follow along. I can’t help but look at this scene and feel like it’s meant to tell viewers what ellie should be feeling rather than the feelings of fury she does right now. A therapist approved all these lines of thought, right? That’s the only way she’s deemed of sound mind to walk around the citizens of jackson once again. In a vacuum, the scene is fine and illustrates that ellie is still very much wrestling with debilitating anger and doesn’t trust the adults in her life, but again, every time the last of us describes the themes of the source material in no uncertain terms, i’m left wondering why showrunner craig mazin has made these blunt edits. Does he not have faith in the viewers to get it, or is he making up for what he perceives as a weak link in the game’s writing?
speaking of showing instead of telling, we now get the show’s version of one of the last of us part ii’s best sequences: joel’s home. After ellie is released from the hospital, she heads home, and instead of going straight to her shed, she goes to joel’s big empty house. Flowers and tributes cover the white picket fence. They’ve been there for months, but this is the first time ellie’s seen them. To abby, joel was a murderer. To ellie, he was a complicated father figure. To the people of jackson, he was a beloved member of their community. There are different versions of each of us in the minds of everyone we’ve ever met, and the truth is we all exist somewhere in the middle. That’s why people come away from the last of us part ii with such contrasting feelings: because the entire game is about that concept.
one nice touch the show adds to this segment is that ellie has a room in joel’s house that wasn’t present in the game. Though the mattress is no longer here and is now in the shed out back, the rest of the room looks largely untouched. It’s covered in astronaut stickers, old sketches, and toys. It feels like a childhood bedroom, whereas her new space gives off something more like college burnout. The brief shot we see of the old room illustrates how much ellie has grown up, but maybe also how joel probably felt left behind. He has this snapshot of a younger version of his surrogate daughter in his own home. No wonder he didn’t understand the rift between them as she grew up.
then we reach the gut punch: joel’s bedroom. It’s full of unfinished wood carving projects he’ll never return to, but it also has a small red box sitting on the bed. Inside, ellie finds the last of joel’s belongings: his broken watch from sarah and his trademark revolver. Ellie only takes the latter before turning to leave, but also takes a moment to stop in joel’s closet and take a whiff of his leather jacket. Then she finally allows herself to cry before this moment is interrupted by dina (isabela merced) calling to her from the lower floor.
her friend brings with her two things: cookies and information. She says that, when visiting ellie in the hospital, she’d hid that she knew most of abby’s group’s names because the doctors told her not to tell ellie anything that might upset her while she was recovering. Ellie is furious because joel’s killers now have a three-month head start, but dina, being the more level-headed person in the room, reminds her that if you want to find someone and you know where they’re going to be, you should let them get there. Then dina reminds ellie that she loved joel, too. In part ii, dina went to seattle because she’s a ride or die, but the show is giving her more personal stakes in seeing justice for joel because they had a relationship of their own. It’s a good change; a lot of dina’s characterization—such as her relationship with her family’s jewish history—is lost without the ambient dialogue between her and ellie in the early game, so this helps fill out her character more in a way i appreciated.
dina runs down what she knows, including the names of most of the group and a wolf patch she saw on their gear with the initials “w.L.F.” She recalls a story eugene told her before his passing about subsets of civilian militia that were trying to fight fedra, the government agency that turned fascist after the cordyceps outbreak, including one called the washington liberation front. They don’t know what they’re up against, but hopefully it’s not too much for them to handle.
but rather than head out immediately, ellie and dina go to see tommy. He’s hesitant because the town is still recovering and not in any position to send out a squad of vengeful soldiers. Ellie says joel would have already been halfway to seattle by now, a claim which tommy rebuts, saying that he’d only take that kind of risk to save someone he cared about, not to seek revenge (i don’t know about that one, chief). If they’re going to do this, they have to go through jackson protocol, which means taking it to maria and the town’s council. Ellie isn’t thrilled, but tommy says he’ll back her, and lets dina know that if she holds back information again, there will be consequences. As the girls leave, tommy tells ellie that they buried the dead after the attack south of town, if she wants to visit. Ellie says she will when she’s on the way to seattle. Tommy said in episode one that ellie and joel were the exact same person, and her self-assured stubbornness in this moment is giving pedro pascal. To her, this whole song and dance is just another obstacle in the way of something inevitable. She can’t imagine any other possibility.
literal and metaphorical scars
we’ve spent a lot of time in jackson these past few episodes, so this next scene gives us a preview of what to expect in seattle. We open on a lone man walking through a forest wearing a tattered trench coat, sporting a shaved head, and with twin scars across his face. He whistles to a group of similarly dressed people elsewhere in the forest, and one of the adults asks a young girl to translate the meaning of the whistles, which were orders to keep moving as there was no danger present. The group apparently doesn’t know where they’re headed, but there’s a “reason” for this pilgrimage with no known destination. There was a war happening wherever they’re fleeing from, and the prophet they once followed has been dead for a decade, so she can’t protect them. But they keep her spirit alive by following her teachings. To do this, they have to keep themselves safe, which is why they’re armed with hammers and bows. Just as the girl says she feels safe, another whistle comes from the lookout, warning the group of incoming danger. They hide in the forest, and the girl asks if it’s “demons,” to which the man replies that it’s “wolves.” On that ominous note, the show pops back over to dina’s sketch of the wolf patch she saw on abby’s clothes.
if you felt that was disorienting, i wouldn’t blame you, but these people with all their cultish language and archaic weaponry are the seraphites, a cult in seattle that is at war with the w.L.F. As we get close to the emerald city, some of the uglier parts of the series to unpack will start to become more prominent, as the violence between the seraphites and w.L.F. Is inspired by the ongoing conflicts in palestine and israel which have only escalated in the years since the game came out. This isn’t me projecting; series director neil druckmann has said as much. The actual specifics of how the last of us portrays its fictional war, and how druckmann’s public pro-israel reaction to the ongoing real-world conflict have justifiably colored the interpretations and experiences of the series for many players, are a lot to untangle and dissect. It’ll be some time before the show really dives into this plot thread and we really need to dig into it in these recaps, but i felt it was important context to bring up now as we begin our journey to seattle, where this storyline becomes more prevalent.
ellie, meanwhile, is training for the upcoming fight. Jesse is impressed that she’s bounced back so quickly after being hospitalized, but not impressed enough to be forthcoming with her about the upcoming council meeting. Now that he’s on the council, he can’t discuss his or anyone else’s votes, even as ellie tries to appeal to their friendship. As a sign of good faith, he does give ellie some advice, telling her to write her thoughts down and read them to everyone in the meeting. Ellie dismissively takes this as a sign that she’s “stupid,” but jesse says it’s because she’s angry, and her inability to take that well-meaning advice as such is further proof of that.
unfortunately for ellie, she has a lot of time to organize her thoughts at the council meeting because her revenge tour is not the only issue on the agenda. Some folks came to talk more mundane shit like livestock. But when the topic of sending people to seattle comes up, ellie isn’t the first one to take the stand, it’s a woman who points out that jackson lost a lot more people that day than just joel. Things are too fragile right now, she says, to send a large group chasing after abby’s crew. Another man stands up and says that they should separate themselves from the raiders and murderers by showing mercy. Then, ellie finds an unexpected ally (see what i did there) in seth, who says that those murderers don’t deserve mercy. The town bigot is the only one to support vengeance for the man who knocked him on his prejudiced ass the night before he died. Seth says that they’ll be back to finish the job if jackson doesn’t send someone after them.
when the last of us part ii came out, there were criticisms that the game boiled down to a metatextual scolding about something obvious to most civilized people: violence is bad, actually. Revenge is not it. Even kotaku’s review by riley macleod touches on this, with him writing, “late one night, i paused the game and asked myself aloud if the developers thought i was stupid, if they thought the existence of violence had just never occurred to me before.” I never felt this kind of condescension when i played the game, largely because i viewed revenge as one piece of the puzzle, rather than the full thing, but i can’t shake that feeling when i watch the show. I really felt it in this scene that sounded like a podcast of people debating the morality of the last of us part ii. The show’s heavy-handed dialogue continues to feel weirdly patronizing, like it needs to make sure you have considered every nuance that should feel.
finally, ellie is allowed to speak. She followed jesse’s advice and wrote her thoughts down to read. She says she doesn’t want revenge, she wants justice. Then she points out that if they do nothing, no one will do anything because no one else is fighting for jackson. Ellie appeals to the community aspect jesse has been hammering into her head, and points out that while the rest of the world is full of dangerous “strangers,” she wants to know that the people of jackson can count on each other. This is a version of ellie we’ve seen who is very jaded toward the idea of community, and it’s unclear if this is her trying to appeal to the sensibilities of the council or if it’s a last-ditch effort to convince herself that there is a community for her here. While joel may have been a beloved member of jackson, ellie has been ostracized by several people in this small town. Her discomfort has been ignored by the adults in her life, her desires have often been denied to her because they think they know better, and yet all that’s ever been said to her is that the good of the community comes first. If she’s supposed to be part of that fellowship, why are her needs never a priority? Whatever her reasoning, ellie knows now that she can’t count on jackson because the council votes against her proposal. A wave of relief fills the room, but ellie silently walks out.
it’s now tommy’s turn to see the town counselor. He tracks gail down at a tee-ball game and she has her own theories about ellie’s speech. Tommy’s worried that ellie’s going to do something reckless, and gail asks if he believes ellie’s words at the council meeting. She says that the girl is a “liar.” Tommy says she doesn’t want ellie to go down the same path as joel, who would also come up with justifications for every violent act he carried out in this desecrated world. Gail asks if ellie might have learned this behavior from joel, but says that “nurture” can only do so much, and that if violence is who ellie is, it wasn’t because joel taught her to be. She also says that some people can’t be saved, and as much as tommy would like to change that, it’s probably true of ellie, as well.
alrighty, so i alluded to this conversation in my episode one recap, and i consider it one of the most disappointing in all of season two. The last of us showrunner craig mazin has talked at length about how he believes ellie to be a naturally violent individual, and it shows in the sadism she expresses in season one. This is a marked change from how the character was portrayed in the first game, which showed her having no proclivity towards violence, just a desire to be trusted to carry it out when it was necessary. When it became clear that mazin’s choice to make ellie more intrinsically violent for the show was made in a misguided attempt to lean into ellie’s violent tendencies in season two, i wrote about how the only reason ellie’s shift towards violence in part ii works is because that game goes out of its way to show that she’s not cut out to inflict the kind of violence she learned from joel. There are scenes in the game that have ellie trying and failing to use joel’s exact interrogation techniques, and druckmann and game actor ashley johnson have spoken in part ii remastered’s commentary about how the point was to show how ellie was very different from her surrogate father, and that this violence may have been innate to who he was, but not her.
without getting too specific about future episodes, i still find the show’s suggestion that ellie’s sadism and anger are just part of who she is to be both a misguided change and a fundamental misunderstanding of the story of the last of us part ii. Where some changes, like revealing abby’s motivations early or heavily implying that ellie had some kind of reconciliation with joel, undercut the narrative tension of the source material but leave character dynamics intact, this shift just lets joel off the hook for who ellie grew up to be and colors her grief-driven crusade as more of a tantrum that needs to be managed rather than as the actions of woman lashing out at a life that has taken most of the things she’s ever wanted from her. Ellie’s arc in these games is so much more complex than anger issues, and i find the show’s vision of her violence to be so one-dimensional. Violence is a language characters use to express everything from love to hatred in the last of us, and it’s one that the show barely knows how to read.
back in her shed, ellie is doing exactly what tommy feared: something stupid. She’s got guns and supplies spread around her space and is clearly gearing up to head out by herself. Dina arrives and points out how an arsenal and canned food isn’t enough to reach seattle and kill abby. She has no plan, no route, no map; just a switchblade and a dream. Dina’s not here to talk her out of it, she’s here to make sure she doesn’t get herself killed on the way. In another life, dina would be the one who plans the girls’ two-week overseas vacation down to booking the flights and itinerary, where ellie gets to be a passenger princess who just has to show up.
ellie thanks dina as she leaves, to which dina replies that she could have just asked. Ellie says she didn’t realize that, and if she’s become this jaded toward the community of jackson, it makes sense that she wouldn’t even feel like she could rely on her best friend. But hopefully, dina’s actions quell any of her fears. As the two prepare to leave with their horse shimmer, they’re sent off by none other than seth. He offers ellie his rifle, some supplies, and a few words of encouragement. Ellie is skeptical the whole time, even scoffing at the notion that revenge for joel is a collective cause between the two of them. But as they leave, the two exchange a silent handshake. Maybe bigots can grow. A radical thought.
but before we head out, ellie has one more place she needs to go. She and dina stop at a graveyard just south of jackson and find one marked “joel miller, beloved brother and father.” Ellie unwraps some coffee beans and spreads them over the soil, lingers for a moment, then silently turns to leave. I’m glad the show displays some restraint here, because it would not have surprised me if ellie had voiced everything she ever wanted to say to joel, as that’s often the show’s m.O. Instead, we got an understated moment with a cute nod to joel’s coffee fixation. It’s good.
washington bound
we skip forward a bit as dina and ellie play games to pass the time on horseback. Dina asks ellie about her first kill. She says she won’t talk about the first one (we don’t need to relive riley’s tragic fate), but she does tell her about her and joel’s time in kansas city. Dina says she’s sorry ellie had to go through that, which surprises our funky little lesbian. “I shoot a guy and you feel sorry for me?” “I’m just loyal like that,” dina replies.
the pair’s trip is put on hold as a storm passes over them. That’s how you know they’re getting closer to seattle. They set up a tent, and it’s clear that ellie is unsure what to do with all this closeness. Just as the girls are about to get some shuteye, dina turns the lantern on and says she wants to talk about new year’s eve and their big kiss. You know, before seth ruined it. Ellie seems to have stopped reading into it because they were both intoxicated, but dina wants to know how ellie would rate it. Ellie isn’t looking to play along, and when dina reminds the room that she’s “not” gay, ellie finally gives her a number: six. Dina doesn’t believe this rating, but when ellie tells her she can go back to jesse if she wants something better, dina reveals she already did. That’s seemingly resolved that issue.
by this point in part ii, dina and ellie were established as girlfriends, and all the romantic tension was gone in favor of two girls getting to know each other in this new context. I’m okay with the show taking a different approach to this, as a lot of the relationship building between ellie and dina is lost when we can’t spend hours wandering around seattle and chatting. Introducing dina and establishing their relationship as quickly as the game does probably wouldn’t work for tv, so replacing it with some “will they/won’t they” awkwardness is probably the right call. A lot of fans were disappointed that this meant one of the best scenes between the two in jackson, which involved passing weed back and forth among other activities, went out the window. But we’re making up for some lost ground in this scene, so i’m willing to see where this goes and weigh in later.
dina asks if jesse seems sad to ellie, and she replies without hesitation that he does, though neither of them is sure why. Dina thinks maybe that’s just who he is. At least, she hopes so. Because if it’s not, then maybe she makes him feel that way. Before the two drift off to sleep, dina tells ellie she “wasn’t that high” when they kissed. Girl, you’ve got some decisions to make.
the two get back on the road in the morning, and are just about 10 miles out of seattle when they come across the aftermath of some kind of battle. Bodies of the seraphite crew from earlier in the episode are scattered across the trail, and as dina investigates further, she runs back to ellie to puke in the bushes. Ellie goes to see what elicited such a response and finds their bodies decomposing. Dina apologizes for her sickness, pinning it on the smell. Ellie guesses from the caliber of the various bullet casings at the scene that this might have been abby’s crew. Now they have another reason to feel vindicated in coming all this way.
then we finally reach seattle. From a distance, you would have no idea there’s a war happening here. Dina says there might not be that many wolves for them to deal with, to which ellie says there are about to be “a whole lot less.” Dina asks if that was a cool action movie line from the curtis & viper movies joel loved so much. Ellie says that one was all her; she was just trying to sound like a badass. “You don’t need to try,” dina whispers in her ear. Girlypop, don’t play like this when you’ve got a man waiting for you back home. (Do it. Give in to the gay thoughts.)
spaking of wolves, we see the first sign of life from abby’s crew. Manny (danny ramirez) is keeping watch from the remains of the space needle, and luckily doesn’t see the jackson girlies as he gives the all-clear for a w.L.F. Crew to move through the city. While ellie and dina may be expecting a small group of heavily armed bandits, the group manny clears to move through the city is sporting tanks, military-grade weapons and armor, and is moving like a well-trained unit. Ellie’s rage may have brought her this far, but she’s gonna need a lot more than that to fight her way through seattle to abby.

synopsis
spongebobs plot
in the beginning of the episode, spongebob and patrick are in [jellyfish fields](/wiki/jellyfish_fields) blowing bubbles. Patrick tries to take pictures of the bubbles, but they keep popping immediately before the picture is taken. Spongebob sings a [song](/wiki/bubble_song). Spongebob sings about how he wants to blow a bubble that would last all day. Spongebob blows a bubble so big that it engulfs them both and carries them into a nearby cave. The bubble suddenly pops as it makes an impact with an ancient piece of gold.
eager to discover what exactly it is, they decide to take it to the [bikini bottom museum](/wiki/bikini_bottom_museum), where they run into squidward, who is painting pictures that relate to atlantis. At first, squidward thinks that spongebob and patrick were planning to steal the first half of the [amulet](/wiki/atlantean_amulet), which is housed in the museum, but upon attempting to return it to its spot, he realizes that what patrick and spongebob had was, in fact, the missing half. At this point, mr. Krabs (who secretly, but unofficially, takes admission as a museum employee to make more money) and sandy (who is touring the museum while looking for an exhibit for land stuff) join them.
the pieces of gold are then reunited, which summons a [luxurious bus](/wiki/sea_ship_atlantis) (or van as squidward calls it) piloted by a robot and its fueled by song. During the song to [fuel the bus,](/wiki/fueling_the_bus) it is revealed that plankton, who was sneaking into the museum for a heist for an exhibit perfect for destroying the krusty krab but was distracted, overhearing the fives conversation about atlantis, has stowed away in a compartment at the front of the bus, and plans to control the lost weapons of atlantis and use them to steal the [formula](/wiki/krabby_patty_secret_formula), much to the surprise of the viewers.
once they arrive there, (accidentally crash-landing in a topiary garden) they meet the king of [atlantis](/wiki/atlantis), lord royal highness, lrh for short, who shows them the riches, knowledge, and art of atlantis. Meanwhile, plankton escapes from the compartment and sneaks into the vault storing the weapons. After looking around at the weapons, he chooses to commandeer a tank (seemingly at random) to start his diabolical scheme.
meanwhile, mr. Krabs enjoys the [money vault](/wiki/mr._krabs%27_song), sandy enjoys the [science lab](/wiki/sandy%27s_song), and squidward enjoys the [hall of art](/wiki/squidward%27s_song) (the rooms each had been planning to see). In the money vault, money, gold, and prized objects are found and mostly stashed in mr. Krabs pants pockets. In the science lab, sandy enjoys the devices, a biomass-converting device that turns any household object into ice cream (a bug the atlanteans have not worked out), a germ-fighting, interactive, micro video game, and makes an automatic feeding device. In addition, in the hall of arts, squidward journeys through paintings, is modeled by painters, and even makes his own painting, claiming to have learned more about art in his short time in atlantis than he did in four years of college.
however, everything goes wrong when spongebob and patrick are left alone with the worlds [oldest living bubble](/wiki/oldest_living_bubble). The flash from patricks camera when he takes a picture of themselves with the bubble causes it to burst, they are terrified, and the pair goes to dinner and insist on leaving. When patrick reveals their mistake, lrh first doesnt believe it, and considers it dark humor. Spongebob confirms it isnt a joke, to which lrh tells them that the bubble they popped was a prop for tourists like them, but when he shows them the real bubble, patrick takes a picture of it once again with a flash, and it also pops. Lrh gets furious, drops the glass container, which shatters, and summons the atlantean royal guards to seize the gang, sandy uses patrick like a boomerang, spongebob as a shield, mr. Krabs as a claw, and squidward as a shotgun, they escape almost to which plankton appears with a giant tank.
plankton lets out a huge speech about his victory with the collecting of the atlantean arsenal, then he fires the tank at spongebob, the gang, and the atlantean royal guards, but is foiled when it is revealed that the weapon he had chosen only shoots strawberry ice cream. He jumps out of the tank and in frustration, yelling oversized ice cream maker! He childishly kicks it, injuring himself. However, lrh seems delighted, saying, this talking speck will make a fantastic replacement for our recently deflated national treasure!
he grabs plankton and puts him in a jar like the one for his bubble. Tourists start taking photos to which plankton yells hey! Cant you read?! No flash photography! They refuse.
finally, lrh loads spongebob and his friends back onto the bus and removes the amulet, giving it to one of his soldiers to dispose of to ensure no more visitors like these. The guard then proceeds to throw the amulet into a nearby dumpster. Spongebob is the only one eager to return to bikini bottom and [sings.](/Wiki/goodbye,_atlantis) his friends (including squidward, mr. Krabs, sandy, and even patrick) get sad throughout the song. Squidward, sandy, mr. Krabs, and patrick start crying near the end of the song, but spongebob ignores the sadness and sings all along.
patchy the pirates plot
patchy is driving a [wheelless, boat-like car](/wiki/patchy%27s_boat_car) on the us 101 in [encino](/wiki/encino), california but is stuck in a rush hour traffic jam. Patchy, upset by this, puts his rare [frampton comes alive! 8-track tape](/wiki/frampton_comes_alive!) In the boat cars 8-track player, but the tape pops out and is destroyed. Potty calls patchy on his cell phone to remind him about a new spongebob episode, which is about to start, and asks where he is. Patchy asks potty to record the cartoon for him, but potty cant because potty threw out patchys betamax machine, infuriating patchy. Patchy yells at a motorist behind him for honking his horn because he cannot hear potty on the phone. Potty hangs up on him and the traffic in front of patchy starts moving again, so he pulls up his anchor, puts it in his boat car, and drives off. He arrives in a desert-like area, thinking he is home. However, he soon realizes that encino has somehow disappeared and screams, cries, and suffers. He then introduces the episode by telling the audience that encino being a lost city reminds him of a story about another lost city, [atlantis](/wiki/atlantis).
after plankton finds an arsenal of weapons, the scene cuts back to patchy who states that even though encino is still lost, he at least fixed his 8-track player. Seconds later, it breaks and catches fire. Patchy states, well, enjoy the rest of the show.
patchy has now questionably landed in a desert and is struggling with an empty water canteen. Patchy claims he will die of starvation and thirst and that vultures will pick his bones. Potty drops in out of nowhere, and he tries to eat potty, who flies away in fear. Patchy realizes what is happening, and says uh oh, here come the hallucinations. Spongebobs laughter can be heard as his [pineapple house](/wiki/spongebob_squarepants%27_house) fades in with a man with spongebobs voice and dressed in a tall spongebob outfit. He tells patchy that everything will be alright when he returns to encino. He states that encino is gone, to which spongebob disagrees, if patchy believes, leading into patchy believing hes [back in encino](/wiki/back_in_encino). He hugs a blue sign reading welcome to encino! He starts to happily cry knowing the spongebob was right. During a happy, fast-paced musical montage, patchy runs around, jumps, walks with an parasol, throws away a crumpled-up piece of paper, has a picnic by himself, throws a beach ball, gets a watermelon pelted at him hard, raises a jolly roger flag and drives an old man reading a magazine, a mother and her baby crazy by playing a guitar. Patchy eats a strawberry ice cream cone which falls onto the grass. He starts to have goosebumps, to which potty wakes him up after patchy mistakenly thinks encino is back, which was all just a hallucination, as mentioned. Patchy begins to eat a sandwich, which potty brings to him, but he finds mayonnaise on it, which he doesnt like. He tries to feed it to a vulture and explains to it how much he despises mayo in hot weather.
at the end of the spongebob sequence, we come back to patchy who returns to the original middle of nowhere location he was originally in, which may have implied he was hallucinating the dehydrated desert situation. He asks the kids if the story they watched was good. Patchy then steps on something, and it is revealed he found encino, but shrunk to a very small size. Then, three aliens appear and apologize to patchy by explaining that their son, norblock five, was playing with a shrinkatron again. Patchy begs to the aliens that he wants his encino back in full size and keeps saying, theres no place like home. Sympathetic over patchys loss, norblock fives mother gets the shrinkatron given from her son, and she presses a big red button control, making a tornado disaster to fix it up. The scene then cuts to patchy in his real home, sitting in a chair. Patchy is glad to be back home with everything back to its original size, watching the new spongebob cartoon he thought he was going to miss. He states that it looks like everything is back to the right size and asks if potty agrees. Seconds later, a giant pottys foot crashes through patchys house and crushes him, implying norblock five had possibly once again used his shrinkatron to make potty huge. Patchy, crushed by the foot, reminds the audience to come back real soon for more new segments featuring him as well as more new spongebob episodes. He then attempts to get potty off of him while spongebob laughs in the background, but the episode finishes there.

reception
[the washington post](https://en.Wikipedia.Org/wiki/the_washington_post)s television critic tom shales lambasted it in a[november 12](/wiki/timeline:november_12),[2007](/wiki/timeline:2007)review. In the review, titled, squeezing the life out of spongebob, shales wrote, the funniest thing about the film is its title and a typical episode has about as many laughs as this inflated version does. Shales criticized the amount of musical numbers in atlantis squarepantis, calling them numbing. He concluded the review with the statement that the episode was flat and unimpressive.[[18]](#cite_note-18)- in her review for about.Com, nancy basiles review was mixed and gave it a score of 2.5 out of 5. She wrote kids will enjoy this, but adults, who love the crazy antics, tongue-in-cheek humor and naïve blunderings of early spongebob will be disappointed.
[[19]](#cite_note-19) - jerry vonkramer of toonzone gave the episode a score of 7/10 and wrote atlantis squarepants is not a masterpiece, but neither does it deserve the awful reputation it seems to have.
[[20]](#cite_note-20) - casey alexander has stated on twitter this was his least favorite episode that he worked on.

trivia
general
- according to
[casey alexander](/wiki/casey_alexander)s and[dani michaeli](/wiki/dani_michaeli)s twitter accounts,[[22]](#cite_note-22)[[23]](#cite_note-23)this episode was originally going to be an 11-minute[[citation needed](https://en.Wikipedia.Org/wiki/wikipedia:citation_needed)] spongebob and patrick episode, but[nickelodeon](/wiki/nickelodeon)requested turning it into a tv movie. - Casey alexander stated the reason why lrh never sang in the episode is because
[david bowie](/wiki/david_bowie)was cast too late in the process and no songs were written for that character.[[24]](#cite_note-24) - due to the episodes length, this episode counts as six chapters on the
[spongebobs atlantis squarepantis dvd](/wiki/spongebob%27s_atlantis_squarepantis_(dvd)). - Without the patchy plot, theme song and end credits, this episode is only 32 minutes long. The spongebob plot without the songs is only about 23 minutes.
- patchy mentions he is stuck in traffic on
[u.S. 101](https://en.Wikipedia.Org/wiki/u.S._route_101_in_california). U.S. 101 passes through encino and is one of the many major commuter route for drivers going to or from los angeles.- The first scene during the patchy segment was a shot taken at the 405 freeway in brentwood, los angeles, california.
- some old technology that patchy used are betamax, 8-track cassette tapes, and phones that drop calls.
[amazon prime video](https://en.Wikipedia.Org/wiki/amazon_prime_video)claims that[s.

[banned in bikini bottom](/wiki/banned_in_bikini_bottom)/[stanley s. Squarepants](/wiki/stanley_s._squarepants), which also lists the credits music throughout about half of the episode. - In addition, at the end of the episode, stock stills of a sunset background (in turn, its actually a textless version of the episodes title card), the title credits, and the credits are all seen, as well as an english dubbed version of the international version of the

The guard announced his decision to on3 and on social media, making him the fifth transfer piece the jayhawks added this offseason.
ad the 6-foot-8 standout is coming off a stellar season, averaging 19.5 points, 6.2 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.0 steals on 44.7% shooting. He led the bison to a 12-20 run in the 2024-25 campaign and won the meac player of the year award and multiple other conference honors.
tipton edits updated the fans about his new home through a post on its ig handle on the same day.
ad trending college hoops enthusiasts reacted positively in the comment section, congratulating creighton and blake harper for their alignment:
creighton got a good one , boy is nice, a fan wrote. It’s over for everyone, a user added. Lottery pick. He made the right choice, another fan commented. More fans joined to hype up the guard and the jayhawks:
creighton be getting some dawgs, a user wrote. Ad bruh 6’8? Oh yeah i like em already! A fan added. Creighton gonna be real nice next year in gregs last season, another fan commented. Fans react to creightons newest transfer addition on instagram | via @tiptonedits what does blake harper bring to creighton? Having led howard in scoring and rebounding, blake harper brings the experience of leading a roster, three years of eligibility and more. He established himself as a versatile playmaker last season and can significantly boost creightons offense next season.
ad harper entered the college circuit as an unranked high school prospect. He logged 12 20+ point games and five 30+ point outings, becoming a star prospect in the portal. Part of his success at the jayhawks will stem from a leadership role, with his 3-point shooting (40.4%) being the most translatable skillset.
currently, creightons role for blake harper is not solidified. However, with the exit of ryan kalkbrenner, jamiya neal and steven ashworth, he will have plenty of opportunities to replicate his freshman year under greg mcdermott.
harper had the option to land with the lsu tigers , the ohio state buckeyes, or to return to howard.
