7/10

Funny, but didn't stand out like the others.

This was a pretty good episode, but many of the riffs felt recycled. I also felt there was some missing potential especially in the market of joking about Griba's hair. It was a solid episode, but not a particularly memorable riff or bad movie to end on. The end scene was exciting and fun though, and it left you pumped for more, whenever there will be more. Overall, this season had the least content in the show's history. It just felt like Season 11 got improved and condensed. I still would've liked more, but I got what I wanted. The Gauntlet gets an A- from me.
