Normally, I have quite a low tolerance for comedies where the primary driver is the central character's predilection for creating chaos, but something about the way Star vs. handles that setup counteracts the usual annoyances to me. Maybe it's the way the rest of the ostensibly regular world mostly just rolls with Star's hijinks, regardless of how disruptive she is? I dunno, but I appreciate the heck out of how the creative team has threaded that needle so far. Also the particular way in which this episode allows Marco to get fully sidetracked from Star's mess into his own brand of tomfoolery is an inspired way of subverting the sitcom tropes that follow from the show's overall premise.
