They'll probably hit the reset button, or at least they will for the first 5 minutes or something just to f with everyone.

I have thought the second halves of SP seasons have been way better than the first halves recently - like their "big" episodes aren't as good as the ones where they "let their hair down," so to speak ...

Damn. I just watched the replay and that seemed like Matt and Trey saying they are getting tired of doing South Park and that they think it's getting old and tired. I kind of felt the last couple of years were a little uninspired. If the show does end then it had one hell of a run.

What happened tonight? Missed the episode. A lot of s*** jokes. Hell, most of the episode was them getting away with saying s*** a bunch of times, but not as bad as "It Hits the Fan." The important part is... {Spoiler}Sharon and Randy are going through a divorce, and they "Broke the 4th Wall" with Sharon saying that every week is just a new adventure and they hit the reset button as soon as next week comes.
Stan's now 10 years old, and everything to him is literally s***. So much so that it gets to the point that Cartman, Kenny, and Kyle don't want to hang out with him anymore. As a result, Kyle and Cartman start to bond, and due to the divorce, Stan moves away from South Park with Randy.

That is, of course, unless something has changed. If this season is the end, I wonder how much the 200/201 controversy has to do with it. How much strain did that put on the relationship of Comedy Central and Matt and Trey? That might have something to do with it, since Comedy Central really didn't stand behind Matt and Trey. Jon Stewart stood behind them, and called out Comedy Central executives on The Daily Show. But outside of Jon Stewart, they didn't get much support from Comedy Central. For crying out loud, The Simpsons gave them more support. One thing's for sure, Matt and Trey have gotten a lot of people talking. The ending was such a departure from what we're used to on South Park, hell the main plot was such a departure. They got people talking in a good way.

That was depressing. The quality of the episodes have been down over the past few seasons but once in a while they would make a couple of golden episodes. I've been quietly hoping the show would end soon and end on a high note before they overstay there welcome like The Simpsons. But by having Randy and Sharon acting like surrogates for Matt Stone and Trey Parker saying all of that is pretty painful especially on how this was one of the better episodes that South Park has done in a long time. Also that ending was just wow. Also I admit a world without South Park would feel really weird to me. It's been around for more then half of my life and even the bad episodes of South Park are still a lot better than most of the shit on TV. See what I did there

Damn that ending was depressing.....
I really don't know what to think, since I pretty much grew up on South Park, so the potential prospect of it ending just hasn't hit me yet.

Oh man that ending was great, came really out of left field. If it's coming to an end then what a run, probably my favorite show of all time even if it's been slipping recently.

Well, to my knowledge, at least, Matt and Trey are still under contract through 2013, although it wouldn't surprise me in the least if South Park, as we've come to know it, dies down long before then and becomes something else almost entirely.
That said, I think a change would do Matt & Trey good in terms of shaking up the show. They seem bored, and I think a continuity change might freshen them up. Don't know how I'd feel about it, but again, it really wouldn't surprise me if one of the changes from this episode (Kyle/Cartman become friends, Stan's family moves, Randy/Sharon separate, Stan is ostracized from the group) becomes permanent.
And it kind of ties back into something they'd mentioned doing way the hell back in one of their early seasons: namely getting rid of Stan. Or was it Kyle? Actually no, I'm pretty sure it was Stan because they needed Kyle as a foil to Cartman, and they felt Stan was kind of redundant and indistinguishable from Kyle. They said this in one of the mini-commentaries but I can't remember which episode. I think it might have been for the episode in which Kenny dies permanently (for a season or two anyway). Either way, they've at least thought of either killing Stan off/phasing him out/having him move away. I hope they don't do it though. He's a blank slate to whom you can give any opinion you might have in a given week without it seeming out of character, at least in my opinion. And he's also a fairly consistent voice of reason and maturity, and the show needs that in at least one of the boys. And I don't know that Kyle is the right one.
Still, one of the strongest SPs in recent memory.

This has to be a two-parter. The thing that really gets me is that this was the final episode of this half of the season, so we have to wait a few months before finding out where they go with this.

I don't think Stan moved from South Park, there was still snow on the ground, I think the family just moved to a smaller place due to only having Stan's moms income as a constant and I think Randy moved away further

I wouldn't be surprised if it was all in Cartman's head or something, or the next episode doesn't mention it at all.

Since South Parks other swerves in the past, I am taking that ending with not just a grain of salt, but a whole bottle of salt tablets. It would shock me MORE if they stayed consistent with it at all, and that ending was either meant as a left-field ending or a red herring, something that eventually just gets undone (though is part of the show) and means nothing.
Honestly I didn't feel off about any of it until the credits rolled since I hadn't kept track of the time left, so when that whole montage was happening I was still expecting something to happen.
