I think he is 14.  I'm pretty sure he has been aging, by the way (wasn't he like 12 when the show started), which is pretty unusual for a kids' cartoon, but then again, most kids' shows don't have the kind of emotional depth/character development that Adventure Time has.

I love the way that this is the first thing he does while trying to pass himself off as someone else; just somersault out of a 30-foot-high window in the most Finn-esque way imaginable.

NEPTR, that guy's a hide-and-seek champion.

"Can you sweep a broom?"  "You betcha!"

Everyone was already dead; the sideways flashbacks world we'd been seeing them in this whole season was just a sort of purgatory (for want of a better term) where they could come to terms with unresolved issues from their actual lives before passing on to the afterlife outside the doors of a non-denominational…

The resolution was lightweight in comparison to a lot of the character moments that this show is capable of, but it was still one of the funniest things ever.  BMO's failure to understand that Finn was just playing along with him when he was dressed up as a robber is one of my new favorite moments on this show.

There definitely wasn't anything super-important to any sort of overarching plot this week, but this was definitely a really solid episode.  BMO not-quite getting the stereotypical robber dialogue was as adorable as his/her over-sized robber costume, and "Don't worry Finn.  It's only me, BMO.  I'm wearing…a disguise!"…

It was wholly unremarkable, but then again, it was like a minute and a half long.  I imagine you could find some stretches of Harmon-directed stuff that were equally unremarkable.  Still it kind of sucked.  I'll still withhold judgment on the new show-runners for a few episodes, and unless it's absolutely dreadful,…

The thing is though, this whole pregnancy thing has played out over the course of a couple of months, and this is a kids' cartoon show, where one can't expect that every viewer has been watching every episode up to this point the way you could in a serious drama program, or even a more plot-driven comedy like…

I don't know, I thought they had that really great stretch of nothing in mid December.  And I really liked the press release where they told us what the next couple of episodes were going to be called and what date they were going to air on.

Except for that shifty-looking snake character.

Literally everything about this episode was amazing in my opinion until the overly-rushed resolution.  I feel like  the status-quo-reset was a bit too abrupt.  That being said, I kind of disagree that Finn was totally OK with the fact that Jake wasn't planning to live at the tree house anymore.  Something about his…

I like the way that Jake twice says "by not listening to my mom when the snake jumped out of that policeman's boombox" as if no further context is required for this to make sense to the listener.

Charlie?

Does BMO have a gender?

All three of those interceptions he threw in that game were some of the dumbest throws a quarterback with his level of talent could possibly make.  I love seeing the Cowboys choke every year when it counts most.

@avclub-9e8bf84b3ee1ddd63588cc74b09eb693:disqus  "Blood Meridian" is very different from "The Road" and "No Country for Old Men", but honestly I don't really see someone who wasn't a big fan of either of those getting into "Blood Meridian", which isn't nearly as accessible as either, but is in my opinion (and most…

Yeah, that was a bad way of describing them.  Perhaps atmospheric, and not-really-hook-driven would have been a better way of putting it.  And I really like Isis, so I certainly wasn't trying to criticize them.  I just don't think they're a band that everyone will like, not even every metal fan.

He bought a copy of it maybe like a month or two before it came out on DVD, and never got around to reading it after clearly being unimpressed with the film.  I'm guessing it was as much to do with the utter moral ambiguity and the fact that he's a conservative as much as the fact that it wasn't that great of a film.…
