I hope not. Though Jake's death has been alluded to since season two and this season was pretty heavy on the foreshadowing.

It's been mentioned a bunch of times that Jake will die and that Finn will be there or have something to do with it, and that Jake's okay with it. There's also an episode from last season called Hoots that involved the Cosmic Owl. In the episode, Finn has a dream where at one point that creepy Clock Bear from Preboot shows up and Jake pops in upside down and says "Say goodbye" in a sad voice.

Yeah but we also know Jake is supposed to die in space with the banana guy.

I've long been fascinated with how the alt-right develops elaborate and obscure dog whistles to try to communicate their meaning without having to say it out loud
Stepan Andreyevich Bandera being the most prominent example of that
I think if Jake died there probably would have been more fanfare to it. Unless they're saving the fanfare for the beginning of next season for some reason.

That's why I don't really think he's dead. Maybe he'll lose his stretchy powers or be healed in the season opener or something. I do think Jake's death is a thing the show will tackle before it ends in 2018, though.

Rattleballs is a robot. He can be rebuilt. Also that giant eel didn't die but also said the same thing before passing out.

Random quirks like that always remind me of D&D. Like the person who was DMing at the time was a goof who would have everyone say that when they died or got knocked out.

I took "yubba dubba dubba dubba" to be specifically a way to show characters had NOT died. Like they wanted scenes where people died but didn't really want to write in the ramifications of people actually dying so they just wrote in a stand in thing for death and made it a gag.

In the concept art they released the wasp chicken thing was called a chick-a-bee and that makes way more sense than it being a wasp chicken.

If they do kill Jake eventually they need to get their schedule straight because it would be really annoying to do that and then just air it sporadically.

Remember that elemental lady?

no, because it's been like a year since the last episode so I don't remember loving any of the story of this show anymore.


Honestly this episode felt pretty weak to me, a few jokes landed pretty flat and it felt like it was trying to be revelatory just for the sake of it. I don't have an attachment to the constant callback characters when it's been so long.

The grass sword is a metaphor for Finn's Emotional Damage.

That was... okay? Perfectly adequate if it wasn't a season finale, except it was, which makes it kind of disappointing. Plus I've also forgotten the running plot threads, so I couldn't remember if I was supposed to be surprised at the grass sword emerging again and blah blah.

I hope Tiffany's okay though, he's my favorite character! Kind of a weird setup for the inevitable spinoff though. :ghost:

Preboot was pretty cool by itself though, spider-legs were neat.

Season 7 is a lot better when you binge it imo. I'd still put it below 5/6, but now I think it's overall better than 4.

Ok so my prediction about the other humans is that they're descended from the ones who Marceline hung out with in the past who were leaving when she destroyed the Vampire King. but we'll see I guess

There was also a prequel graphic novel of the same name released. Which follows the humans Marcy hung out with in ep 2 of Stakes, who left on the boat. Can't remember if I posted my theory about that here/can't be bothered to look but YAAAAY I was right
