Wow, that was an awesome special!
We finally get to hear from Stephen Hillenburg after his departure from the show after the movie (they finally confirmed all those rumors of him leaving the show). Also, I'm surprised that they weren't afraid the cover SpongeBob's gay controversy; I'm a little surprised about how the cast, crew, and analysts somewhat supported it though.
Overall, this special had tons of exciting and revealing moments that went above my expectations. Now I don't feel weird at all to call myself a devout SpongeBob fan (especially after seeing that woman with that room loaded with SpongeBob merchandise and tattoos.
And I thought I had too much SpongeBob stuff).
