If for nothing else, I love this show for providing me with a vocabulary of "profanity" that I can use around my kid.

These past few episodes are a really good example of how Adventure Time has been expanding to appeal to all audiences. You've got completely independent silly episodes like Time Sandwich, episodes that contribute to an overarching plot like The Vault, and a mixture of both with Love Games. People on one side keep complaining that Adventure Time is getting too serious, and the other side that there's not enough serious episodes, when in actuality there's a healthy amount of both.

Maria Bamford's delivery on "You don't have to be embarrassed by your innocence." was the perfect blend of sweet and creepy. She's just so good.

Apparently Season 3 of Adventure Time has recently started airing in Japan. I really, really want to hear Lemongrab's voice in Japanese.

Easy way to lay pipeline to a future Fiona and Cake spinoff. They're future lives of Finn and Jake!

It saddens me that people keep pestering Jesse and the others about whether it was Shoko or the tiger who was Finn's past life. The episode made it abundantly clear that Shoko is in fact Finn's past life.

It's awesome if the tiger's origin story is true, though, and not just a way to throw an annoying fan off their backs (seriously, that kid was being a toe). Kind of irked that there are still people out there who NEED TO KNOW FOR SURE STRAIGHT FROM THE HORSE'S MOUTH OMG that Finn is meant to be Shoko's spiritual descendant and not...uh, the tiger's. You know, the tiger whose character was developed maybe 1/10th as much as Shoko's? The tiger who had maybe 1 minute of screentime? I guess to some people, being an animal is always going to seem like the more preferable option to having to be ~*~a girl~*~ Also, Finn's line should have cleared things up: "Yeah, I was her! Except she was a chubby tiger. No, no, no, wait, wait, wait... She was riding the tiger, and she wasn't scary."

You're able to think the tiger was one of Jake's past lives without a scriptwriter 'confirming' it IRL and tying your interpretation of what happened in the text to whatever they confirm or deny severely limits your ability to make your own reading. I mean say you think the ending credits song is Finn's mum singing a lullaby to him or PB and Marcy did used to be be an item, it only takes an offhand comment from one of the writing staff to arbitarily invalidate your own interpretation of the text. And say Pendleton Ward announced The Lich is actually the immortal hateful soul of Ronald Regan, that it's not something that's going to ever come up in the show itself but it's a 100% creator confirmed fact, should you start viewing The Lich's actions and agenda through the lense of trickle-down economics?

Of course, the writers aren't going to ruin the mystique of the show by giving away future plot developments, especially to pushy jerks on their formsprings. Adam Muto has this at the top of his formspring: 'Please don't ask about future plot developments or if certain characters will return'. And I'm betting the PB/Marceline thing is never going to be answered, Despite Sky Witch clearly showing Marcy and Bubs are in the closet together. as pictured here...  That was a joke, and possibly the writers way of teasing the shippers.

If Pen Ward had said something about the Lich embodying the soul of Ronald Reagan, even if the suggestion of that didn't arise within the show itself, I would still feel compelled to go back and look at the stuff involving the Lich with a revisionist eye and wonder how Pen's Reagan hang-up might be manifesting itself through the Lich's characterization. So, yeah, I would absolutely feel curious about that, when given new information about how the creator views his own creation. Because there's such a thing as audience interpretation, but there's also such a thing as authorial intent. I never said anything about "Word of God" trumping the material itself, either; in fact, I believe my last post started in an ambivalent enough fashion -- "It's awesome if the tiger's origin story is true, though, and not just a way to throw an annoying fan off their backs." This is also a way broader and more philosophical subject than I reckon we want to get into in an "Adventure Time" thread. Someone post a .gif of Gunter doing a penguin thing.

I hope the little joke about "let's get back to adventuring and less romance" is at least somewhat telling of the show's direction from here on out. I don't mind it much; I hated how they handled Flame Princess mostly but the way they ended her arc was pretty cool. But there was too much hella smoochy poo poo for me and it feels kinda weird that it's been so long since there's been a very straightforward "adventure" episode. EDIT: Not to say that there haven't been adventures with episodes, or good episodes or anything. I just can't remember the last time Finn and Jake went out and explored some poo poo, and that was the sole focus of the episode, like The Hard Easy. That's not a bad thing, I just like those episodes and miss em. Dungeon Train should fill that for me, I just want mORE OF THEM!! nerdbot fucked around with this message at 21:49 on Sep 25, 2013 |

Finn wants to do more adventuring and ends up having to deal with more smoochy poo poo and face his feelings about FP. That should tell you about the direction of the show. edit: In season 6 Finn will start shaving.

Well, he's trying to run from his problems but can't. I'm okay with calling him a coward for now. He's 14 years old. Who didn't do stupid poo poo when they were 14. edit: Then again, during the trials he sings about her and kind of deals with his feelings, but only because he doesn't have a choice. I dunno, gotta think it over some more.

Again, I think the show has found a good balance between serious subjects like romance and silly adventure stuff. I think its just hard to tell because we've recently had a bunch of serious episodes in a row. I don't really care what the subject matter is, as long as the show continues to be fantastic, which it has been. MojoKingBee fucked around with this message at 23:01 on Sep 25, 2013 |

I think there'll be some sort of "Finn has to deal with this once and for all" moment that the show is leading to. I don't think that'll play a big part in this episode. Seemed more like just a passing line to me.

According to the episode summary, Finn doesn't want to leave ever, which together with that line gives me the impression that he's using the train to distract himself from lady biz.

I brought this up last thread but stuff that is in previews and such are spoilers until the episode airs so please treat them as such. Not trying to backseat mod or anything, I just don't want to have to start reporting people for something this minor. Like the thing in Shwoo post was totally just a spoiler that I would have preferred to not have known until I saw the episode, so just be careful.
