Adventure Time (spoilers)

That was a theory?
 
Watched it.

NOOOO! Prismoooo! *sobs* That damn Litch - I was kinda irked that he got off so easily turned into that ugly-ass baby and whatnot, but the horns are still in its head under the skin or something, so maybe the evil is too, and will break out again. I was sad to see the grass sword go too - it's kinda grown on me (no pun intended); it also might come back too, however - I feel like the weirdo flower growing on the arm stump signifies something to that extent. To me, the dad was actually the least interesting aspect of the whole episode: classic remorseless deadbeat, plus a criminal; more story might be revealed later, of course, and either way, it'll be interesting to see how Finn deals with being abandoned again.
 
I did too. It broke me.

Did anybody else catch Martin quickly saying "Wait what about air-"? Will that be the end of Martin?
 
lol, I didn't notice that. It's probably not, but I'd be okay with it either way.

Although it occurs to me that, assuming he's not asphyxiated, there are now two humans besides Finn running around - Martin and Betty. Plus possibly Susan Strong, and then there's the question of Finn's mother.

I also wonder if Billy knew Finn's dad was alive because he saw him go into the Citadel, or even helped put him there...
 
Welp, It's finally happened friends. Finn has lost his arm. So what do you suppose his next sword will be?

Anywho, the premeire was cool. I'm looking foward to James II. Season 6 just might top the legendary season 4.
 
Finn lost his arm. All of the fan speculation was right. It was so epic to see him get that giant grass arm. But then my heart skipped a beat when it got ripped off and I was like :o :???: :eekdance:
 
So I finally sat down and caught up with... most of the episodes of Adventure Time up to this point. It's been something I've really been procrastinating on, and I wanted to get down to it, since I've been trying to beat Adventure Time: Explore the Dungeon Because I DON'T KNOW (which yeah, isn't really that good, but I at least appreciate what it's trying to do... plus it contains a piece of canon information that I want to know). Hopefully I'll try to stay on top of new episodes after this.

I feel bad because I went all details with Red Throne, but now I'm back to general summaries since I'm marathoning this. Hopefully I'll get across everything I wanted to talk about while keeping it short.

Betty: Of all the episodes I regret not seeing sooner, this is the one I regret the most, since it was the one I was actively looking forward to out of any episode announced last season. I mean,
an episode where the Ice King remembers who he once was and actively tries to find his original love back? I mean, this is a HUGE DEAL! Could the really live up to that kind of hype? Well first off, that melted head thing at the beginning reminded me of Darth Sideous/Emperor Palpatine from Star Wars. He even kind of talked like him! Regardless, that Bella Noche guys seems like a pretty big deal, even though he seems primarily there just to give us a reason why/how Ice King reverted back to Simon Petrikov. Hell, he's pretty much forgotten about as soon as Simon comes into play, at least until the end of the episode (the fact that the Grand Wizard just says "Sorry Ice King" and doesn't really berate him for being involved in this is both funny and also kind of sad). Also, HOLY CRAP, Ash is back?! Didn't really expect to see him again... though given the nature of this show, it shouldn't be THAT surprising. The fact that Simon just punched him in the fact and instantly knocked him out was hilarious! I also found it weird that Simon "knew" to go back to his ice castle... I guess he was still aware of what was going on around him, despite not knowing if he kept his glasses or if his research was still there. That scene where Finn and Jake kept telling Marceline to move her bass/guitar down was kind of funny, considering how scared they were of her at first. Another funny thing is how Marcy passed out when she received Simon's phone call... though it's more dramatic then funny, since like Simon said, this IS a lot to take in. What I find weird is how they explain Marcy's connection to Simon/the Ice King, and I say that because most of the time, Adventure Time doesn't bother doing this recap stuff, and usually just assumes people remember past episodes. Hell, they didn't explain why Cinnamon Bun was in Red Throne, did they? I also like how the Ice Kingdom is melting, implying that it only exists because of the Ice King's powers, and since they're not working anymore... well... yeah. I hope Simon's stuff doesn't get ruined from the melting process. Marceline and Simon's reunion was very sweet, I loved it. :) So apparently Simon knows who Finn and Jake are... but only has basic impressions of what he does as the Ice King... and bruises from all the fights they had. It's nice to see that Marcy's willing to part with Hambo, for Simon's sake; it shows just how strong their bond is... I also must say, it's a good thing Marcy got Hambo back from the Sky Witch Maja... Almost makes me wonder if that's all that episode was for (hopefully not). That was s surprise to see Betty go after Simon in the future... wait, could THAT be why Simon never heard from Betty again? Because she went into the future?! MIND-BLOW!!! Too bad Simon's dying... BTW, I just want to say, Betty takes being in the future and surrounded by weirdos she doesn't know pretty well. Heck, her personality is also pretty fascinating; she's very peppy and smart, I rather like it. Death shows up, it's kind of funny if it weren't also sad that Simon's dying... Seriously, Betty is taking all this strangeness in good strides! And the fact that she's so dedicated to seeing Simon live and trying to undo the curse... it's really uplifting... Of course, Death tries to spoil all of this... seriously, this guy is funny! Oh, we see Huntress Wizard again! Seriously, I want to see more of her, she just has a cool design to her! Oh, and that shopkeep from that episode where Finn, Jake, and PB went to the Wizard City, sweet! Too bad he only makes things worse. I think it's hilarious how not only does Bella Noche not look all that scary or different in his true form (his face is like any other plain face in Adventure Time), but that Betty literally beats the crap out of him and THAT defeats him! The ending is bittersweet, in that the Ice King is now "back to normal", and Betty is still out there... Really, the Ice King might be my favorite character with a lot of the best lines of the show, but his story just seems to get more and more depressing... I mean, will Betty ever find a way to change him back? Also, where will she live? Will she crash with Marceline? This has me REALLY curious... So yeah, this episode, TOTALLY lived up to the hype, loved it!

Lemonhope: I know Bad Timing aired before this, but on iTunes that episode is paired with the season 5 finale, so I'm watching this two-parter first. Really, I didn't expect them to follow-up on the Lemongrab situation so quickly. Lemongrab's story really is almost as depressing as the Ice King's, in that he seems sympathetic (and obnoxious) but despite getting relatively happy endings in two of his episodes, he ended up turning out worse then ever! Will this two-part special resolve it or bring closure? ...Yeah, in case you didn't noticed, I'm actively commenting on these episodes while I'm writing this.
So part one... that dream sequence was interesting. So I guess Lemonhope goes to school with Finn? I didn't even realize Finn went to school... he probably only goes there to be with PB... Seriously, Finn's clingy nature lost all of it's charm a long time ago, it's now gotten WAY beyond creepy... That's probably what they're going for these days. OH, I actually saw this clip, this clip of the state of the Earldom of Lemongrab... Pretty messed up, and more then the usual kind of messed as far as Lemongrab is concerned. The fact that Lemongrab 2 is still somehow alive and can still talk through the fatass Lemongrab 1's stomach is probably the most disturbing thing of all! Like seriously, Lemongrab has reached some kind of peak point of demented, the torment he put all of his children through, not to mention crushing the harps of which he supposedly liked listening to... Also, why is Lemonhope drawing himself with a beard? By "morale" I assume Lemongrab means HIS morale. Seriously, he was also a bit conceited, but now it's gotten to a point where it's not funny anymore, if it ever was funny in the first place. It's weird, I've always liked Lemongrab, even though he seems like a character I would despise more then anything, and even here where he's depicted as the worst he's ever been, I can't bring myself to hate him THAT much since it's so over the top and delusional... No, that's not it... I can't really explain why I'm okay with this whereas with other TV shows or characters I wouldn't be... It's just something about the way this show is written... Hell, the fact that Lemongrab 2 is the one who redeems himself, as opposed to the original Lemongrab, for whom the double was specifically created for to mellow him out... I can't help but feel like they're trying say something... like the original Lemongrab is beyond hope... Lemonhope? I think Lemonhope is interesting, in that he really does not care what happens to the other lemons. Not that he's selfish, he just doesn't see much of a reason to come to their aid... plus he's not doubt scared of facing that bastard Lemongrab 1. He definitely sounds more hesitant then nonchalant about this. lol, when PB takes out a cupcake, there's one that looks like Mr. Cupcake! Yeah, Lemonhope definitely feels more childishly selfish, similar to how Lemongrab was originally depicted as a man-child (and kind of still is, though now he's more rotten). This isn't really a bad thing, a lot of children are selfish like that. Even a lot of adults can be that way. Hell, I can be that way, though I personally WOULD give away one of my cupcakes. You know, when PB mentions the pacts and treaties keeping her from getting closer, I have to wonder how this earldom formed. I know Lemongrab was PB's first creation, yet so much of his backstory is left unknown... probably for the better, since it allows us to fill in the blanks, though given how messe dup he's gotten, I wouldn't mind a bit more detail on how he came to be... OH GLOB, Lemongrab EATS HIS SUBJECTS AND FAMILY?!! Well, I guess it shouldn't be too surprising, given that he ate Lemongrab 2, and it would explain how he got so fat... Hell, the fact that the people are made of candy is something this show dodges around and lightly jokes about every now and then, but seeing it here, this one lemon person trying to escape, only to be brought back then DEVOURED by his supposed father (who created him from the food he original was just to give himself a family)... This is seriously messed up! I know I keep saying this, but this is literally the most messed up the show's ever gotten... I kind of like it. I also like that Lemonhope doesn't feel like he truly owes the people who helped free him. Again, a very childish view on things. Also, REALLY bad choice of words, PB. Wow, he striped nude... Like, I kind of got what he meant by wanting to be free, but I didn't think he'd take it to THIS level! This really is silly, especially when he starts singing and dancing and playing music. It's almost adorable! So he gets onboard a pirate ship... what is that ship sailing in? I assume it's some kind of candy and not water since Lemonhope can walk on it. Him finding a lime was... some kind of strange mix of adorable, cute, funny, silly, and kind of stupid. Gosh, I just love this series and I have a hard time explaining why! So apparently a monster attack, from the sounds of it, and left Lemonhope injured and... somehow stranded in a desert. Wait, was the ship always in the desert? It didn't look like sand before... Maybe this will teach Lemonhope the power of kindness and doing things for others. That other dream sequence with Lemongrab 2 and PB was both surreal, scary and hilarious, especially when PB said "UNACCEPTABLE!!!!" XD Seeing Lemonhope slowly going crazy and using very loose definitions of the words "free" and "freedom" is both disturbing and also kind of enticing to watch... I don't want to say funny, because it's not necessarily funny (plus I think I'm overusing that word), and really, I'm just so absorbed in what's happening, I just want to keep watching to see what happens next! I guess that's the sign that the writers are doing good! ...Okay, seeing Lemohope all dried up... that's not enticing to watch, that's actually really sad, especially while he's singing a more depressing version of the song he was singing earlier. Well, this probably will teach him a lesson about running away, though I don't know if this will make him any more willing to help out others. Maybe someone will help him, and he won't take it for granted?

We'll see in part 2! So apparently this guy who was in the cloud that was above Lemonhope's ship home was watching him suffer and now finally decides to help him out? ...Okay, I guess. When killing this whale-like creature, Lemonhope really seems to be channeling Lemongrab, the way he shouted at the top of his lungs... In fact... Does Justin Roiland voice him as well? ...Okay, I looke dit up and apparently, he does. Interesting, in that I couldn't tell at first. Probably because Lemonhope wasn't screaming everything he said. So the cloud guy wants to take Lemonhope on as his apprentice, and live a life of freedom, but considering that Lemonhope thought he saw his lemon people instead of treasure, I get the feeling he's still feeling guilty deep down... ANOTHER DREAM SEQUENCE! Okay, yeah, this dream sequence has Lemonhope sounding different then how he just was. I think the days of near starvation and thirst have made his voice as harsh as his would-be father. Wait, where are those two? It looks like the Ice Kingdom... but what's with the fire? Is Flame Princess still mad with Ice King? No, that can't be, she realized she was lied to... Wait, love potions? Why hasn't the Ice King tried that? Either way, it seems like, with the sagely advice from his mentor, Lemonhope WILL help out his people. too bad the cloud guy won't help him out (again with the pacts and treaties... I hate politics). Geez, how is Lemonhope going to do anything? WHOA, LEMONGRAB! Weird how he had dots for eyes instead of his normal eyes for a second... Also, it seems like Lemongrab realized he's easily mesmerized by Lemonhope's playing, so he put "things" in his non-existent ears... Seriously, Lemongrab's dialogue cracks me up, especially when he admitted to being fat! ...Though I can't help but feel nervous, given that he tends to devour his people, makes me wonder if he'll do the same to Lemonhope... Nope! Lemongrab 2 and the other lemon people come to help! And the music... blows up Lemongrab... Well, he was an interesting character, but he died as he lived... being a massive prick. Another dream sequence... very nicely done... Also, Finn playing Lemonhope's flute made me realize... isn't that flute Finn's? Like, it looks like like his flute in Prisoners of Love, the third episode of this series! ...Oh wait, so Lemongrab is alive? Well hopefully, there will be measures to prevent him from going so bad. Yeesh, I really have to wonder if he actually WILL stay like that. Also, how's Lemongrab 2? I hope he's okay... I honestly didn't think Lemonhope was going to stay. He never really wanted to say with his people, he just wanted to repay his debt. Yeah, this was a good story arc, I feel. That song at the end was sweet, I rather liked it... Wait... Did the end... take place in the future? Lemonhope looks different, almost older. I guess he really DOES come back in 1000 years... Really makes me wonder what happens to everything else by then. Yeah, like I said, good story arc, even though there's not much to Lemonhope, I still thoroughly enjoy it.

Bad Timing: Another LSP episode, huh? Really finicky about how I feel about LSP from time to time... Really concerned if I'll like this or not...
Whoa... apparently we only see through this small circle or whatever? The stuff around it with the doodles and such is kind of funny. Apparently PB has invented time travel and tests it on those things she seems to use as guinea pigs from time to time... Wait, is this whole
