Enchanted Tiki Dreams (SpongeBob SquarePants)

Enchanted Tiki Dreams is Episode 145b of and the 36th episode of the 7th season of SpongeBob SquarePants.

Why It Is Enchanted

 * 1) It's a happy and relaxing Squidward episode for a change.
 * 2) This seems like an apology from the writers to the fans of SpongeBob that hated the Squidward tortures, which were very common in Season 6, and it was VERY well needed after disasters like Choir Boys, Cephalopod Lodge, Squid's Visit, and Keep Bikini Bottom Beautiful.
 * 3) SpongeBob and Patrick learn from their mistakes in past episodes and are at their nicest in this episode. This takes their original personality to a whole new level, where not only do they actually TRY to make Squidward happy, but they tried to by making an artificial tropical paradise for Squidward to relax in.
 * 4) Good gags, like how Squidward said that SpongeBob is another word for annoying.
 * 5) Fantastic Ending: Although predictable, Squidward's Tiki Land gets burnt down by Patrick accidentally, but SpongeBob and Patrick manage to make something that will be fun for Squidward, even if they may get hurt.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) It doesn't have much of a plot.
 * 2) The first half is boring, bland, and feels like your typical Squidward torture episode. Thankfully, it's not the meat of the episode, and picks itself up later on, as it does have some good gags, and the writers do seem like they want to show SpongeBob's sympathetic and friendly side.
