After the excitement and drama of The Coming of Shadows, it is somewhat inevitable that we would have a bit of a comedown with the next episode. Episode 10 pushes us firmly back into the troubles with Earth category of … Continue reading The Last Best Hope…-“GROPOS”
Astral Plane Boarded by: Jesse Moynihan and Jillian Tamaki Aired: January 22, 2015 Reviewed by: CedricTheOwl We’re fully in the age of serialized Adventure Time with this episode, as the approaching comet we saw at the end of “Evergreen” figures … Continue reading Come Along With Me: Adventure Time – “Astral Plane” and “Gold Stars”
In some ways this episode is a bit of a rehash. The battle scene is kind of a repeat of the end of season 1, and the whole thing is intended as a mirror to the first episode of the … Continue reading The Last Best Hope…-“The Coming of Shadows”
The Pajama War Air Date: January 8, 2015 | Written and Storyboarded by Somvilay Xayaphone & Seo Kim | Reviewed by Blip It’s been quite a while (more than a year and a half, actually) since I wrote up one … Continue reading Come Along With Me: Adventure Time – “The Pajama War” and “Evergreen”
This episode is another one that I dont revisit often, but I would not go as far as saying it is a bad episode. It is held back by laying track for a train that never comes along, but inside … Continue reading The Last Best Hope…-“A Race Through Dark Places”
Finn doesn’t want to go dentist. And can you blame him? They put you in a whole filled with snakes and rotten butter, and they leave you there. But also, dentist is ants? Dentist is dentist. And when you go … Continue reading Come Along With Me: Adventure Time – “Dentist” and “The Cooler”
This episode is something of a guilty pleasure of mine. In story terms it has very little to do with any ongoing arcs. Nothing here is going to be referenced again. It does get into a little more of the … Continue reading The Last Best Hope…-“Soul Mates”
Welcome one and all to the second half of season 6 of Adventure Time reviews! Seasons 5 and 6 of this show are double length, consisting of more episodes than the standard 26, so we’ll be handling signups a little … Continue reading Come Along With Me: Adventure Time Season 6B Central Hub and Sign-up Thread
It can’t be a mid-90’s TV show without some good old fashioned government conspiracy storylines. This one dolls it up with Mars, and semi-undead cyborgs. But at it’s heart is big businesses colluding with the government to crush a peaceful … Continue reading The Last Best Hope…-“A Spider in the Web”
Is That You? Boarded by: Jesse Moynihan Aired: November 25, 2014 Reviewed by: CedricTheOwl The explosive two-parter that opened season 6 of Adventure Time had consequences that the season has spent a large portion of its runtime exploring. The revelation … Continue reading Come Along With Me: Adventure Time – “Is That You?” and “Jake the Brick”
If Babylon 5 could be said to have a Halloween episode it would be this one. A mysterious derelict ship, an ancient enemy, and a red herring survivor all combine for a decently spooky episode that is let down somewhat … Continue reading The Last Best Hope…-“The Long Dark”
Ghost Fly | Aired: October 28, 2014 | Reviewed by Stars Hi everyone. Your friendly neighbourhood Stars has returned[footnote]from an almost 2 month break 🙃! Oh hey, wasn’t that the usual summer break gap? Only recently realised we’ve kind of … Continue reading Come Along With Me: Adventure Time – “Ghost Fly” and “Everything’s Jake”
A Distant Star is the first weak episode of Season 2 in my opinion. Though not as bad as the worst of Season 1 (looking at you Infection). It represents the last of the “Sheridan settling in arc” and expands … Continue reading The Last Best Hope… “A Distant Star”
After the high stakes of a brand new captain, and a mysterious ancient enemy, episode three is a bit more light hearted(aside from one character seemingly idly contemplating suicide). None of the plot points here are going to reverberate throughout … Continue reading The Last Best Hope…-“The Geometry of Shadows”
Thanks for the Crabapples, Giuseppe! | Written & Boarded by: Somvilay Xayaphone & Seo Kim | Aired: July 31, 2014 | Reviewed by Josephus These are not my teardrops, daughter dearBut just a sheen of dew, that lingers herePast other … Continue reading Come Along With Me: Adventure Time – “Thanks for the Crabapples, Giuseppe!” and “Princess Day”
This episode kind of feels like the original Season 2 premiere. Last weeks episode was an emergency story that had to deliver a great deal of exposition about a sudden new lead character. It was such a large task that … Continue reading The Last Best Hope…- “Revelations”
“When does Adventure Time get good?” Adventure Time aired for 10 seasons over 8 and a half years and ~283ish episodes[footnote]Number gets fucky because there were some shorts that are part of the production orders but not generally collected with … Continue reading Come Along With Me: Adventure Time – “Little Brother” and “Ocarina”
Season 1’s title was “Signs and Portents” and it was a season all about establishing the universe while hinting at what was to come. By and large it did a great job at that, establishing several long running conflicts, and … Continue reading The Last Best Hope…- “Points of Departure”
Well here we are. I started this project while on my Christmas vacation and twenty two weeks later we have come upon the first big milestone, the season 1 finale “Chrysalis”. All of season 1 has been one great exercise … Continue reading The Last Best Hope… -“Chrysalis”
The Prince Who Wanted Everything Boarded by: Bert Youn, Kent Osbourne, Adam Muto, and Lyle Partridge Aired: June 26, 2014 Reviewed by: CedricTheOwl It’s been a while since we dropped in on the land of Aaa, everyone’s favorite Rule 63 … Continue reading Come Along With Me: Adventure Time – “The Prince Who Wanted Everything” and “Something Big”
The Quality of Mercy is an excellent choice for a penultimate episode of the season. It has some light hearted bits while also expanding on the universe in interesting ways. We get new information on Centauri biology and Minbari morality. … Continue reading The Last Best Hope… – “The Quality of Mercy”
