All the cringe. ARGH. I had to actually SKIP parts of the episode just to get through it. I knew it'd all be like "your friends are your family" or something with the ending. And Knuckles was not amusing. Sure, he can be funny sometimes, but I don't think Knuckles works well as a stand-alone character with none of his friends to bounce off of. I think the best scene was with him and Sonic talking about Charlie and whats-her-face.

They could have had a better episode using a flashback; even could have kept the whole "new family" plot by having a young Knuckles realize he's all alone and search for a new family and finds Sonic or something. The episode is down with "Buster" in the rankings for me. Not to mention that they just HAD to include Knuckles fighting his friends because he was being dense. He might not be the brightest bulb, but they didn't have to do it.
