wheres the jester, I could do with some pointless nonsense right about now

Weirdly, that might explain why the Ice King becomes so obsessed with finding "his princess" while under the effects of the crown.

Plot twist: the Ice Princess is Betty, and the next season will be all about her accepting her new responsibilities.

Dunno if this has been mentioned but we got the title card for the next episode, which seems to be about LSP. No real information other than that though.

They've already shown that he's too far gone for being separated from his power source to have any effect on him. This episode was different because the magic was negated, and thus undone, entirely.

If you remember Holly Jolly secrets, Simon refers to Betty as "his princess" in his tapes. I think that's where it comes from.

He's never been good with girls and is finally at the age where trying at relationships while being bad at the whole relationship part has consequences. This isn't an arc, this is him growing up. He's learning, and his character is developing. If you don't like it so much that it affects your enjoyment of the episodes, don't watch the new episodes.

A crown looking for a princess found a guy with a soft spot for princesses and the effect on him was thus worse than if he were just 'eh' about princesses?

Show me signs of him learning and his character developing, because they sure seem to keep emphasizing the same point over and over. This is less about relationships, and more him just plain being a dick. There's a difference between growing up and being a total rear end. The fact that this jerkiness happened so suddenly leads me to believe that it is, in fact, an arc.

MojoKingBee, it's kind of obvious they're building up to something. Can you really not hold your lip for a few more episodes to see where they go with Finn's character arc?

Whatever it is, I'm sure it's going to involve a hell of a lot of Lemongrab so it gets a pass from me.

Maybe it involves Lemongrab AND Betty. We can only wait with our chins in our hands and our shining eyes upturned to the screen.

Oh lay off. It's been an annoying trend for the majority of this season, and there's no guarantees it'll be ending with these coming episodes.

Also there's nothing wrong with hoping something you don't like watching stops happening.

Looking at that title list, I wonder if the Lemonhope 2 parter is the end of the "season", and the Billy's Bucket List episode is almost like a bonus episode, seeing as he's already dead. Something like the Snow Golem "Thank You" episode.

Finn only broke up with Flame Princess like 19 episodes ago. It's been a 42 episode season, so.

And really, it's only been 3 episodes, dude: Frost & Fire, Too Old, and The Red Throne.

If you're problem isn't with jerk Finn but with Finn moping about a girl, well that's been happening since like season 2 or 3, and there weren't any complaints about it back then.

It motivated episodes at least three times beyond that with Rattleballs, Lemonhope and the one with the snail princess.

It's not ruining the show or anything, but it is a common theme of the past year (and beyond, as you point out) of episodes and some of us are tired of it. Sorry if this is offensive to you, bud.

E: Basically, at least for me, I would really like to see some actual growth with the character. Not denying it's probably been building towards it, but it's been a pretty long time coming.

I like Box Prince more and more over time. At first I was a little disappointed, but then I realized that was kind of the point. It was about forming patterns when there is no pattern and our tendency to see things in our own framework.

I don't get it, box prince was really weird (in a good sense) and a really creative and clever play on the whole concept of kingdoms and princess of Adventure Time. I really liked that one.

The problem is that it doesn't manage to be funny or entertaining in any way while doing so. I got that it was meant to be pointless the first time through, but I still didn't enjoy watching it one bit.

Hating the episodes just because of it is dumb. If you don't understand that, stick to the reruns along with him, you'll both be happier.

This is a show about a boy and his dog having adventures. That's all it's ever been about, basically. I just don't get why people allow themselves to feel so negatively about a particular storyline that's been consistent with everything that came before it in terms of his involvement/relationships with those people that it makes them hate good episodes.
