Still not better than Season 1, but much better than most of last season. Once again, Sparks friggin rocks.

Shanks sounds better without that accent :) but that was the only good thing of this really really slow and boring episode
OK, I will admit it. The attack of the giant letter B's was hilarious.

Exploding sharks and killer B's make this a decent episode.
Nice epilogue, it's hard to believe that Debbie is still heavily religious.

Yeah, it was a great way to end the show. It was a pretty good episode through and through. I especially enjoyed Shanks trying to get a candy bar out of the vending machine, finally getting it, but not being able to eat it. I give this episode 8/10.

I laughed at the B's and those creatures underground (I forgot their names), but everything else was just bad. And the debut of the worst character since Beck Bristo. Ouch!
Worst episode of the new Sealabs thus far.

All right, all who read this, that's it!! That. Is. It. Sealab 2021, for some unknown reason loves to make fun of Butch Cassidy And The Sundance Kids. They've done this at least five times, but the episode last week was one of THE most insulting thing I have ever seen! I mean, enough is enough and a joke is a joke but this is going TOO FAR!!
That is it, I am now declaring war!
Cartoon Network has been insulting our image in their all new "Adult Swim" section. Bad jokes, situations that never happened and worse of all making the Kids look like a bunch of lunatics. We don't understand the reasons they have to do this, but is time to fight back. We need your support to stop this! The Kids have fought against the worst criminals in the world, but not against something as cruel as this.
Please contact Cartoon Network at this address: cartooncomments@turner.com And let them know you don't agree with their actions.I will also be putting up a petition here very soon, PLEASE e-mail Cartoon Network and/or sign the petition and tell them ENOUGH! Get another cartoon to pick on, LEAVE BUTCH ALONE!!
HELP BUTCH CASSIDY!!!
Thank you.
Haha. No offense to them but I find that very funny. Lots of shows end up having jokes about them (even very popular classics such as The Flintstones or even Yogi Bear.) They shouldn't get that bent out of shape about it.

That has to be one of the dumbest things I have ever read.
If you don't want to hear how this is another misfire from the allegedly creative minds behind Sealab, please skip to the next sentence.
This is another misfire from the allegedly creative minds behind Sealab.
This week, the crew deals with a billionaire trying to take over Sealab. Hilarity would ensure on any other show, except this one.
Why Max Stone talks like Johnny Cochrane is anyone's guess, but for 11 minutes neither Hesh nor Shanks was not the most annoying character on the show. In fact, Shank's lame attempt at a catchphrase was . . .surprisingly funny, and I kicked the grade up a bit higher for it.
The plot itself was the umpteenth variance of "Feng Shui" and "Tornado Shanks"--zany newcomer comes to Sealab, totally screws up everything more than usual, and digging up that plot again did no one any favours. Tho, to their credit, with Quinn's line about having to save the day once again, at least they're aware of their own redundancy, and the twist that things run better with Max in charge was inspired . . .but so horribly executed it didn't much matter in the end.
It didn't help that the zany newcomer in question was about as funny as seing a baby's eyeballs slit open and disembowled in extreme closeup, and even more annoyingly, dominated most of the episode. I got it guys, he's an *******, but Sealab is running well despite that but you PUSHED TOO DAMN HARD and killed any damn humour inherent in it dead.
The nicest things I can say are that about Sealab are "well, at least they got over their series of crap Hollywood parodies." Interesting concept, self-referential in nature, totally crushed to Earth by trying too hard for jokes. Again. F+

This is probably the best these guys can do. Good for Sealab standards but still bad.

Yeah, lol. So, who's all writing their e-mails like the true Butch Cassidy fans we are?!?! ;)

So, pissed off Butch Cassidy fans were the reason Sealab made the top 3 last week. Explains a lot.

It's funny to those outside the insane toonzone i-hate-sealab club that's why it made the top 3 three weeks in a row.

I laughed out loud more during this than I did during Robot Chicken. Either I need to drive to an asylum as I soon as I'm done typing this, or the Apocalypse is coming soon. I think I'll go with the latter.
Honestly...maybe this show has hope? Nah. Still funny, though.

HOLY ****!
IF you all dont know, I'm Strawberry Clock, on Newgrounds, I made a movie called "B" which was just the letter B, and it got really popular. Then B started spreading everywhere on newgrounds, with lots of movies... could this be..., or just a coincidence!
Yay, the clockcrew's SECOND cameo appearance on TVYeah I'm aiming for a coincidence...
it's not the first time the B's being confused with bees gag has been used in a show...
IIRC Muppet Babies also did it
Sealab ripping off Muppet Babies?
They've reached a new low (j/k)
Serioulsy, another lously ep in a string of lousy eps. The Feng Shui plot has been used to the point where it could be its own sublcass of Sealab episodes, and each Feng Shui ep is worse than the last. At least the original had an Aqua Teen cameo...

This time, GMB is correct. This was Beck Bristow redux... except this time it was even LESS funny.

Wow, this was actually pretty decent. Yeah, the trillionaire guy was kind of annoying, but not out of character annoying. It made sense without making me want to kill anyone.
Overall, I give it a
B

If anyone was wondering who that Trillionare guy was supposed to be spoofing, he was supposed to be spoofing the founder of Virgin media...
or whatever title that gjuy currently holds in his spaceship that he has...
