My Thoughts on Surf and/or Turf (s8e6) · 4:01pm Apr 21st, 2018
Hey guys! I have to leave for work here in a sec, but here's my quick thoughts on the new episode!
So, this episode was pretty great. Like, it was actually a lot deeper than I thought.
The basic idea of it is that a hippogriff isn't sure whether to live on land or in the sea. Part of his family chose to stay in the sea while another part to stay on land and he's stuck between the two. The CMC are chosen to help him out.
The characters in this episode were great and the message was extremely mature for what it is. Like, although it had a nice coat of kid-friendly paint, there were a lot of sub-messages regarding what its like to have divorced parents and feeling stuck between two worlds. It handled the topic with a lot of respect and of course had a friendly resolution... but the message rang loud and clear.
Final score: 8.5/10
Anyway, I gotta go. Catch y'all later!
I give it a 9/10
This episode reminded me how truly blessed I am to never have to deal with divorced parents. Though my little cousin (who was only 6 at the time) had to go through it and she was really hurt by it. But at least she's doing well now just like Terramor.

I had to deal with separation on my end. But my father didn't give a shit about seeing me, lol.
It was tough, but friends got me through it. This episode had some real truth to it.
Definitely my highlight of season 8 so far.
I don't think I've ever seen the impact of separation and divorce handled so well.
Pleased to see how well it worked out for Terramar.
Looking forward to more good episodes!
