This episode is definitely one of the most overrated episodes of the whole show, well, at least the first one.
Back to the Past, oh boy, this one was very bad and severely overrated. I can't stand it because of Patrick and his stupidity. When Barnacle Boy literally said to don't touch anything in the Time Machine, Patrick obviously didn't listen and he made it so that Bikini Bottom was years in the past. Patrick even did something even WORSE! When the younger Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy were about to put tartar sauce on Man Ray, Patrick decided that he wanted to eat it. And when SpongeBob and Patrick went into the future, we see Bikini Bottom under Man Ray's control and we see that the older Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy actually DIE and did Patrick care? NO! I thought he would have at least felt bad for what he did, but he didn't. And the ending was super confusing too. This episode was just an average Season 7 episode and I have no idea why people like this so much.
The Bad Guy Club for Villains on the other hand was surprisingly good because it shows us Jumbo Shrimp and The Sinister Slug very good as villains (not sure about The Automatic Flounder though because he was previously in Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy II). It was pretty action packed and the IJLSA from Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy V returns. It does have a good moral that you cannot get in trouble for reading. This episode was a huge improvement over its companion episode and it definitely doesn't belong in the unlucky 7th season.
Back to the Past gets a 3/10 The Bad Guy Club for Villains gets a 9/10 The overall rating is a 6/10.
