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”
“Shadow Dancing” is the great big battle climax to the slowly building tension with the Shadows. A force that has been moving against the heroes since the middle of the first season finally gets confronted. The battle itself is a … Continue reading The Last Best Hope…- “Shadow Dancing”
Walkabout and Grey 17 were about shuffling things around and getting back on track, whereas “And the Rock Cried Out, No Hiding Place” is about moving us forward again. I really like this one, not only for the sense of … Continue reading The Last Best Hope…-“And the Rock Cried Out, No Hiding Place”
This episode deals with some of the lingering plots that Sinclair’s exit left behind, and it brings back one of my favorite recurring antagonists in Neroon of the Warrior Caste. It is a pretty good showcase for Marcus, Delenn and … Continue reading The Last Best Hope…- “Grey 17 is Missing”
I Am A Sword | Written and Storyboarded by: Jesse Moynihan & Sam Alden | Aired: April 23, 2016 | Reviewed by CedricTheOwl Among my many, many observations upon rewatching Adventure Time for this series has been tracking when Finn … Continue reading Come Along With Me: Adventure Time – “I Am A Sword” and “Bun Bun”
Getting back to business as usual after the two-parter is going to involve dealing with the fallout from several revelations that have not yet been addressed. Kosh’s death, Franklin’s resignation, and the secret that telepaths can disrupt Shadow vessels. “Walkabout” … Continue reading The Last Best Hope…- “Walkabout”

Broke His Crown | Written and storyboarded by: Hanna K. Nyström & Ako Castuera | First aired: March 26th 2016 | Reviewed by: Lyssie Well, as Bonnie says in this episode, “this is not what I was expecting”. I always … Continue reading Come Along With Me: Adventure Time – “Broke His Crown” and “Don’t Look”
Two parters in such a serialized series seem like they dont make sense, but I kind of view this one as a TV movie that got broken into two episodes. There were some dangling plot threads, and this episode comes … Continue reading The Last Best Hope…- “War Without End Part 1”
With a title like “Interludes and Examinations” you would think that this would be a breather episode, or maybe a quieter one that sits with our characters. Instead we get a major character death, a major development in the war … Continue reading The Last Best Hope… – “Interludes and Examinations”
Now that Season 3 has provided some breathing room, it is back to the races with an arc heavy episode with everyone’s favorite recurring antagonist, Bester. I can see why they brought him back since Babylon 5 oddly enough does … Continue reading The Last Best Hope…- “Ship of Tears”
Welcome one and all to season 8 of Adventure Time reviews! This season once again features an odd number of episodes, so I am including a series of minisodes to even out the count. I am penciling myself in to … Continue reading Come Alone With Me: Adventure Time Season 8 Central Hub and Sign-up Thread

Since episode eight we have been primarily dealing with Earth and it’s civil war. The human characters have been taking center stage, though there have been some great sub plots involving Delenn and Londo. “Sic Transit Vir” then comes along … Continue reading The Last Best Hope… “Sic Transit Vir”
We come down from the delirious highs of “Severed Dreams” with a quieter episode that is all about immediate consequences, and how we move on while dealing with them. It makes sense that you cant do something as crazy as … Continue reading The Last Best Hope…- “Ceremonies of Light and Dark”
While Point of No Return shares its name with the whole season, and represents the increasingly desperate measures the main crew are taking to keep the conflict from erupting, Severed Dreams is all about not shying from that fight once … Continue reading The Last Best Hope… – “Severed Dreams”
