No, it's the spin-off show starring Aku that's basically Space Ghost Coast-to-Coast

Does every episode end with someone saying something to the effect of "...wait, how are you even here, shouldn't you be--", and Aku promptly poofs out of existence?

Also, Greg Baldwin posted a little something to commemorate the finale.

I probably would've cracked up if they brought in will.i.am to do a slight variation for the end credits.

"Finally got back, back to the past, Samurai Jack"

What was the fakeout? I can't remember.

The trailer hinted that Jack stumbled on his domain again, with the implication that they would duel again that episode.

Instead... Well, you saw the sunglasses.

I think they did that whole sequence of Jack finding out what happened to the Guardian's portal in order to make it look like they were going to set up a "Jack stays in the future" ending, at least until the sudden reveal that Ashi could send him back. And, well, it'd be kind of awkward if there was a lingering question about whether the one portal he was explicitly prophesied to use was still around or not, especially when this season was supposed to be the definitive ending to the series.

I never watched the original, but man was this season fun. I agree with the general consensus that the first half is amazing, then things go off the rails a little bit, and then we are given an ending that is satisfactory at best.

That said, it was really fun to watch, and the best parts were the ones with the least dialogue.

You totally should watch the original if you get the chance. I'm not gonna deny that a fair few of them were obviously intended for kids first and foremost, but especially in the later seasons, the show got really ambitious and artsy.

There is an entire episode where Aku reads versions of fairy tales to a bunch of children with him as the star, in an attempt to get kids to stop liking Jack. It's pretty much a perfect episode.

Oh, I don't disagree at all! The humorous episodes were mostly pretty good, all told.

Speaking of sound design, Jack and the Rave is certainly worth checking out... even if the cameo from this season was the only really cringe-y one.

And if you want comedy, Jack vs. Aku (S4) is probably the greatest episode once it gets rolling.
