I think "Box Prince" may have a new, impressionistic rival…
I liked this one right up to BMO's "that's none of our business" which I thought was the funniest crack of the episode. The silly run up to…whatever Blue's adventure was supposed to be was so lighthearted and Adventure Time-like that it made the descent into

I really liked this episode. I liked it even more on a replay. The scene where the phantom limb presents itself is actually quite ominous when seen the second time, right in the middle of his obsessing over his father/fortune. He starts out just lamenting his situation, and only when he begins to fixate on

The show's actually been pretty heavy since "Apple Wedding," or at least very theme-driven. This 'another day in the Kingdom' episode is actually quite refreshing; AT has been getting dangerously close to pretentious, and a humble episode like this which pokes fun at the very premise itself is a good respite from the

The "arm" is a serious plot device; this episode was emphatically not serious. The lack of mention despite the stump's constant presence is something of a joke itself (obvious omission played straight for laughs)

I thought it pretty funny how she was still observing the comedy right up until the 'crisis,' as opposed to the 5 minutes she initially promised to watch. I think Finn and Jake actually did help the James' have their fun as long as possible, despite claiming to remain bystanders to the whole affair.

I can understand that. It's pretty obvious the down-play of the "crisis" of the mutants as well as the central focus on something as trivial as James is intentionally subverting the seriousness of the previous episode. I think that Finn's stump is ignored was done for laughs rather than carelessness, since it'd be

Considering how obscure the references often are in this show, I wouldn't doubt that bit about the inbred bananas in the least. That close up existential bit was awesome; just about up there with Ice King's 4th wall realization in "Beyond this Earthly Realm." Sooooo clever.

Sooo…hope I didn't just ruin this for myself (I doubt it since the writers wouldn't be this crass).
How long has Finn's dad been locked up in stasis? 'Pert near 1000 years since committing that "cosmic crime," I reckon… I really hope they don't go that route; lame. Finn's obvious recentcy could be easily explained

Martin couldn't possibly be THAT much of an a-hole, could he? Shacking up with terrified and word-less/mindless animals in a basement? I sure hope they don't go that direction; total 'Fridge Horror' there. Although… that just might be the "cosmic crime" than landed him in the Citadel

At least he didn't say "I'm Catbug." I was sort of fearing the worst

Yeah, that was only slightly less terrifying then the Lich melting Prismo's corporeal form —yikes.

That's an interesting thought, because after all, we know Finn's father had to have done some pretty serious stuff to be imprisoned in the first place. Perhaps the bumbling jerk is in reality incredibly dangerous —and the Lich knew that. "Army," though? It's only 5 guys; no biggie. I think the Lich was being

I thought that was an extremely fitting and believable excuse; ditching Finn during a bunch of hugely significant events to live it up with the non-singular crowd in Prismo's time room

Well, his sword was the only sharp thing in that entire place; obviously he lost it while chopping wool, lol

Well, he does appear to be exactly nothing like Finn, in personality, motivations, and even appearance. Or is this foreshadowing that Finn's badass hairdo will be amputated next? I was hoping for a father with an unhealthy excess of one or more of Finn's more self destructive traits (you know, so he could learn

Not the turgid, veiny shaft it comes out of?

Yeah, why was the camera focused on Finn/Jake for a good portion? I figured it would look cool to see life forcibly breathed into the personification of death and destruction. Except for how carelessly/lightheartedly they handled it, it was actually a really cool "end" to The Lich; death by life.

Kudos on an extremely hilariously believable explanation for Jake's recent absences. Also, his denial of Billy's death just got more disturbing (he's been partying alongside him like a Weekend at Bernie's sequel for weeks). Also, apparently the Party God isn't dead, so the Isla Senorita episode doesn't have quite as

I'd rank this one with "Red Throne," with a too rapid pace that's also too jerky due to a lack of time to set up scenes/moods. They really must consider stretching the shows out some more, the pt II could have easily been two or more episodes itself. Remember how much time was spent waiting on their trip to the

Apparently Billy closely resembles a "Nephilim" which is a Bilblical/mythological creature (Goliath was one which was slain by David), and apparently have aquatic origins (ref. Wikipedia/net, though you'll have to wade through some biblical conspiracy sites to find much info, lol). Not mentioned in the show, of
