Part I is here: https://greatawakening.win/p/140cNSta8E/another-look-south-park-post-cov/

Previously, I've attached the script from southpark.fandom so people can read into it a bit more, but they don't have it up yet.

Onto the actual one hour South Park special. It begins with a television news broadcast, saying "It's finally over!" referring to COVID and the pandemic, right before you realize that it's "the future" and Stan Marsh is now in his late 30s to early 40s, judging by the grey hairs streaking from his head. Mind you, the last episode of South Park was the South ParQ special when the boys were still in elementary and they're somewhere around the age of 9 or 10. That was the episode where they attempted to make fun of "Qanon" and Q, but it probably just gave more exposure to the movement than anything. I think that was done on purpose. Similarly, I think that the entry of this episode is poking some fun at the fact that the "pandemic" has been going on for X amount of years and the people have let the charade continue on. Purposeful programming. The broadcast in the episode goes on to begin talking about the "lingering effects that the pandemic has had on the children.." then the broadcast is drowned out by 30-something-year-old Stan Marsh getting yelled at from his "wife".

Stan has been called by Kyle, his now former friend, informing him that Kenny is dead. If you're familiar with the show, there are some seasons where nearly every episode, Kenny, their 10 year old friend, dies in some horrific manner. However, this has never really gotten addressed as to why this occurs in the episodes, it just does, and then Kenny returns in the next episode as if nothing has happened. Over and over and over again, but it's never addressed by the creators really, and nearly never by any of the characters in the show, except Stan and Kyle. The infamous "they killed Kenny!" or "you killed Kenny!" lines with a follow-up of "those bastards!" or "you bastard!" Except this "Post-Covid" special, the entire premise of it is to find out why Kenny died. The intro really gives off big Stephen King's "It" vibes, especially with Jimmy, a crippled friend of the boys, as he is a comedian in "the future" where he has his own late night show "live from the Moderna center" (lol), but cancels the rest of his show after learning that his friend Kenny is dead. This same scenario also occurred in "It Part II" where Ricky, the comedian friend, learns of his childhood friend's passing. "It" is also an interesting medium to reference, since the premise of the book and its various adaptations are about a supernatural being that feasts on the lives of children, and solely children. Spooky.

As Jimmy watches the news regarding his late friend, we learn that Kenny was a scientist aiming to create a better future. Meanwhile, Stan is traveling back into South Park, and as he enters, we learn that his "wife" is not actually his wife, rather an AI-type named "Alexa", which is supposed to be an adaptation of Amazon's Alexa. He travels thru South Park to see a horde of homeless people in front of the city hall, every store is named something along the lines of "INSERT_STORE_NAME_HERE Plus." Even their old school is named South Park Elementary PLUS. Stan also sees the playground they used to hang out at, littered with children but instead of playing IRL, they just have VR goggles on. The SoPa police station is abandoned, and someone is murdered as they walk on the sidewalk with their groceries as that is the new norm.

Kyle and Stan meet at Denny's-Applebees MAX, and the server describes the menu for them, saying they no longer have meat on the menu, but insects as a replacement. Seen that before. Kyle lays it down, saying that Kenny was trying to find out who was responsible for "everything" that has happened. Stan asks "Who?", and Token, their token black friend from their childhood appears, revealing a badge case/wallet that has his vaccine card saying he is vaccinated. He says "whoever these people are, they didn't want Kenny exposing them," continuing on to say that what Kenny found out could change the world, but he died shortly afterwards. Kyle says "it got me thinking, oh my God, they killed Kenny.."

Stan is sick of it, and he goes to check in for his room at Super 12 Motel PLUS, where the clerk informs them that they only accept bitcoin and remarks something along the lines of "we've learned that centralized banking is great so we fly-by-night(avoid responsibility) ponzi schemes." Funnily enough, the Canadian band Rush released an album in 1975 titled "Fly By Night" with an owl showcased as their cover art. Interesting, but maybe just actually a coincidence. Or symbolism will be their downfall.

Stan goes to his room, and Alexa is still following him around trying to get him to purchase Amazon products. Instead he turns on the news to see that they're talking about Kenny and how he knew that --they-- knew he knew and felt his life was endangered because of it, but his friends would know where to find it.

So, Stan and Kyle go to the wake, andddd insert Eric Cartman. They've learned Cartman has turned into a Rabbi, and Kyle is having none of it, fairly enough. They leave the wake, Stan is back at his room watching Kenny be interviewed. The interviewere says to him "you always seem to come back to this concept that this mysterious organization is to blame," saying they are people with a lot of power.

After the wake at the funeral, Stan realizes he has to confront his father, who he doesn't want to speak with for unknown reasons (up to this point), so he leaves the funeral. Shortly afterwards, a "doctor" comes in to say that Kenny's death was due to a new COVID variant. Of course, everyone panics, frantically hoarding toilet paper and "chin diapers" aka the generic blue medical masks that we've become accustomed to over the past two years. Another random family showcases the father frantically booting up their son's PC and shoving them into a zoom call for (assuming here) school. Stan's trying to leave South Park to go see Randy, but is locked in by the military due to the fact that a single person in the entire city of SoPa is unvaccinated. Anyone remaining in the city is forced to stay and must take a COVID test. Stan tries to get out of it, and is urging the nurse that is giving him the COVID test to let him leave. Before he can continue on making his argument, the nurse shoves the testing stick up his nose and gives him a shpiel on where to go and what to do to stay safe. After she releases the test from him, he complies. This part really interested me, as I've read theories on here stating that any pressure to the nasal region in which the COVID vaccine is applied to releases some sort of signal to the brain to stop fighting and comply with the opposition at hand. Not sure the extent of the truth on this, but interesting to think about.

Stan goes to the community center like the nurse instructed, and PC principal is giving instruction, saying they essentially have quiet hours from 9PM-6AM daily and they must go to bed after 9PM, as if they are still children.

The fringe-friends of the boys (Clyde, Wendy, Jimmy, Token, and the like..) are also in the sleeping center, complaining that one person isn't vaccinated. Token questions why they're forced into quarantine when only one person out of everyone currently in South Park isn't vaccinated. Clyde admits to it, saying he needs to see the research and it's a personal choice, and Craig retorts that it's been 40 years and enough research has been done.

Continuing to relevancy, the military is shown shooting anyone attempting to escape the town, a clip many of you have probably seen. The fringe-friends confront Clyde again regarding his vaccination status, and he explains that he's allergic to shellfish and states that there has been proof of cross-contamination in vaccines. Jimmy replies "so you're doing this out of shellfishness?", obviously a play on selfishness, saying that Clyde is selfish for not getting the vaccine. I feel like this is a message saying that selfishness may be proven to be beneficial, given certain life-death circumstances. It's the same idea that they teach you of putting on your own oxygen mask before helping others when a plane loses cabin pressure. Focus on your own health before trying to help others with theirs.

After Clyde's clarification and reasoning, Token shows the fringe-friends that Kenny has built a lab in South Park Elementary PLUS, and that is where he was most recently conducting his research prior to his death. Meanwhile, Stan escapes the city to go confront Randy, who is in an old people's tower, where old people are forced to live and cannot leave as if it were a prison, since they are safest inside there compared to the harmful outdoors. The voice message over the intercom says "the future is a place where old people live for a long, long time." So many people are now questioning this idea, why are we trying to keep the oldest, weakest people from dying? This idea is even leaking into mainstream media, with Elon Musk now commenting on this in the news.

A little earlier in the episode, Kyle overheard Cartman and his wife "making love" since Kyle was coerced into letting Cartman stay with them while the city is on lockdown. So Kyle threatened to kick Cartman and his family out. Cartman's son, who is nearly identical to Cartman as a child, says "Oh no, this is exactly like when our people(referring to Jewish people) were exiled from the holy land." Incredibly interesting. There's a theory in history floating around, stating that Satan-worshipping people went from land to land, infiltrating the locals' ranks and communities, claiming themselves to be Jews. I think that this is essentially what Cartman's plan is, claim to be Jewish so Kyle can't stay mad at him as easily, and then turn on him at the very end.

Token arrives at Kyle's house, saying "--they-- killed Kenny, because he was trying to stop --IT--." He digresses, saying Kenny was not only trying to find the source of the pandemic, but he was trying to go back in time and stop it. Time travel too? Project looking glass? At this point, there are almost too many coincidences and it feels like Matt and Trey are just trying to fuck with Q followers.

Back to Shady Towers, the retirement tower where Randy and the other aged-adults are now being held. A couple of times throughout the show, they showcase a large screen with an East-Asian woman smiling with eerie music playing in the background, and they have one on the outside of the Shady Towers. I don't know what this means, couldn't tell which part of Asia this woman was from, but it looked like she was dressed in some Chinese or Japanese garb, couldn't really discern what type of clothing it was. Creepy as fuck though.

Anyways, Stan is there to discuss why Randy's strain of Tegridy weed was included in Kenny's mathematical calculations when trying to solve the coronavirus issue. If you didn't see the previous couple of specials and most recent episodes, Randy gets --really-- into growing some good ol' pot, and creates strains such as "Halloween Special", "Christmas Special", and even "Pandemic Special." You learn in the previous episodes that Randy is basically the cause of the whole pandemic when he goes to China with Mickey Mouse and has sex with a pangolin, beginning the first case of COVID. What a joke.

The fringe-friends are in Kenny's South Park lab at the school, and they learn that any researchers attempting to recreate and continue Kenny's research have also died. But there is one remaining, in a mental asylum, known as Victor "Chouse" as they call him.

Stan and Randy escape from the old person jail to head back to Tegridy Farms, where Randy believes his last special of Tegridy weed is, which he thinks will cure the pandemic. Randy rants on saying "what we lost, Stan, is our Tegridy, and it was all by design" and how --they-- needed "us" (normal people) to lose their Tegridy. Randy refers to China here, saying they planned it all, but I think we know it's bigger than that. Regardless, really just mirrors every message that we've ever derived from Q.

Stan leaves as he knows where Kenny has put the information to solve the mystery around his death, but Randy finds a lone plant in his once-weed-field, and regards it as some sort of holy medicinal plant. As if it were ivermectin instead of weed or something.

The fringe-friends are in the lab, and Wendy attempts to trick Clyde into taking the vaccine by crushing it up and pretending it is blow. Jimmy says they're screwed, and whoever these most-powerful-people-in-the-world have killed their friend and they are going to get away with it. The main friend group interrupt with a flash drive that Kenny left behind for them, with a recording of Kenny in the lab, about to attempt time travel. A scientist giving the play-by-play of what's about to happen says that what caused the pandemic is at the fault of Stan, Kyle, and Cartman, and the division that grew between them because of the pandemic. Sounds a lot like what has happened between a lot of us here and those that we think of our closest friends. I know it's occurred with my friend group. In the recording, Kenny concludes that time travel is the only way to stop the pandemic at this point because the idea of friendship between the 3 has become hopeless.

The video ends, showing Kenny successfully time traveling, but sapping the life force from the nearby scientists, having them implode and killing them all. The boys conclude that the only way for them to save Kenny and stop the pandemic from occurring, is rekindling their friendship and attempting to continue Kenny's research, with Stan saying that they could even bring back Santa and Jesus (both characters in the show) to aid them along the way. Cartman shys away from this idea, meeting with his current family and telling them of Kyle and Stan's plan. At this point, Cartman has some sort of plan to turn on Kyle, who could've predicted that.

The special ends with the mental asylum associate giving Victor "Chouse" some food, showing that his name is actually Victor Chaos, assumed as no other than Butters Stotch, who has not yet made an appearance in the special.

Lots of takeaways from this special and South Park in general, that's why I've done so many of these, and I hope to spark some discussion stemming from this overview. Very interested to see what they do with the next episode, as it's supposed to be released in December at some point. I believe we're almost there, friends.
