Classic Coverage looks back on the episodes of past shows from a modern perspective.
Skyhooks Storyboarded by: Sam Alden and Polly Guo Originally aired: April 24, 2017 Review by: Josephus Brown For yet another episode, we essentially pick up right where the previous one left off, with the guys getting off the banana boat … Continue reading Come Along with Me: Adventure Time – “Elements”
In military strategy maintaining lines of communication and supply is considered the most important thing. You cannot do anything intelligently if you do not know what is going on out there, and you cannot do it if you cant be … Continue reading The Last Best Hope…-“Lines of Communication”
Now that we have put the Shadows to bed, and checked in on some of the other hanging plots it is time for an episode that jumps from story to story to advance several different character plots all at once, … Continue reading The Last Best Hope…-“Racing Mars”
Sorry this one is late, I completely missed the opening of this set of episodes. But here we go! When we covered both King Worm, I mentioned how impressive it was that this show manages to capture the weird, hallucinatory … Continue reading Come Along With Me- Adventure Time: “ORB”
With all the reminders of how things on Earth are still screwed up we may forget that nearly every major race has been dealing with some kind of disaster since the Shadow War had started. We have mostly dealt with … Continue reading The Last Best Hope…-“Atonement”
Star Trek: The Next Generation – Season 2, Episode 21 “Peak Performance,” while not too deep or thoughtful (aside from one killer Picard line), is still a fun action-adventure story. It’s the kind of episode that Season 2 of TNG … Continue reading You Talking Trek to Me? (Best of TNG) – “Peak Performance”
Having lived with cheerful propaganda news stations for most of my adult life, this episode does not hit as hard as it may have when Fox News was in it’s infancy, and right wing media still had the seedy reputation … Continue reading The Last Best Hope…”The Illusion of Truth”
The Shadow War is over. One of the largest plots, and certainly one of the longest story arcs beginning all the way back in Season One is over. Add to that the Centauri plot is mostly over. Another arc that … Continue reading The Last Best Hope…-“Epiphanies”
We have arrived at the climax of the Shadow War plot and instead of a great big Death Star style confrontation, it ends up being won by ideas and the sharing of information. As far as sticking to the themes … Continue reading The Last Best Hope…- “Into the Fire”
The Invitation Storyboarded by: Sam Alden and Polly Guo Originally Aired: January 30, 2017 Review by: CedricTheOwl Welcome one and all to Islands, the second Adventure Time miniseries! Though it was certainly not intended to be, Islands also serves as … Continue reading Come Along With Me: Adventure Time – “Islands”
After the breakneck pace that was set getting all the pieces in place for the Shadow War story arc, we get a bit of a pause before the last big push. It makes sense in a way. The last few … Continue reading The Last Best Hope…”The Long Night”
Season 9 of Adventure Time reviews is upon us! This season is a relatively short one, with the 8 part “Elements” miniseries taking up over half of the episode count. With that in mind, I am going to forego last … Continue reading Come Along With Me: Adventure Time Season 9 Central Hub and Sign-up Thread
Another jam packed episode is here, with the central question being “What the hell is apotheosis?” A thankfully seldom used word, it means elevation to godhood, and on the surface it pegs Cartagia’s madness, but it also has a meaning … Continue reading The Last Best Hope…- “Falling Toward Apotheosis”
We have been burning through plot at break neck speed and this episode keeps up the tempo. More big revelations in the Shadow War, as well as increasing desperation on the Centauri side of things make for a quick episode, … Continue reading The Last Best Hope…- “The Summoning”
Wheels Storyboarded by: Graham Falk and Charmaine Verhagen Originally Aired: January 24, 2017 Review by: CedricTheOwl What a streak of Finn-focused episodes we’ve had lately, huh? Status quo changes, heavy introspection, character development like woah, a new potential ally (or … Continue reading Come Along With Me: Adventure Time – “Wheels” and “High Strangeness”
After re-establishing the status quo last episode we dive right into trying to solve some of the new mysteries that were left over from last season. In the process we also get developments in Londo’s plight back on Centauri Prime. … Continue reading The Last Best Hope… -“Whatever Happened to Mr.Garibaldi?”
Two Swords Storyboarded by: Tom Herpich and Steve Wolfhard Originally Aired: January 23, 2017 Review by: CedricTheOwl First of all, I’d like to thank Mrs Queequeg and Katie for providing some much needed background information on the episode ordering for … Continue reading Come Along With Me: Adventure Time – “Two Swords” and “Do No Harm”
And so begins season 4, a season that I think is pretty great even if it does not reach the heights that season 3 managed. It will be a recurring theme for me for the next 22 weeks, but I … Continue reading The Last Best Hope…”The Hour of the Wolf”
Preboot Storyboarded by: Aleks Sennwald and Adam Muto Originally Aired: November 19, 2016 Review by: CedricTheOwl Our boy Finn has had a rough time over the past few episodes, fatally damaging the sword that is also himself and falling into … Continue reading Come Along With Me: “Preboot” and “Reboot”
We have arrived at the end of season 3 and it has been a doozy. Major story arcs got activated after operating in the background, a major character was killed off, status quos were upended and everyone even got new … Continue reading The Last Best Hope…”Z’Ha’Dum”
Earlier in this season, I expressed surprise at the Rainicorn/Dog wars getting a second reference. Here, I have to express surprise that this is only the second Card Wars reference. The original season 4 episode was huge. I was hearing … Continue reading Come Along With Me: Adventure Time – “Daddy-Daughter Card Wars” and “Frog Seasons”
