Seriously though, why the heck are you applying our present day property laws to a land where a princess made from bubblegum is adventuring with a half-demon vampire queen?

In all seriousness, on what legal basis are you basing this? Because we're talking about a land where the largest kingdom is made entirely of candy, ruled by a princess made from bubblegum who can imprison anyone forever without impunity, the entire land is divided into small monarchies, and there is a literal, four…

Time was of the essence; legality didn't matter as much as getting Hambo back. PB is a noted pragmatist, after all.

From now on, if someone's being a dick, I'll just call them a wenis.

I know that P-Bubs is hailed as a genius on this show, and it's usually demonstrated through her scientific prowess.

Seriously though, I don't get involved in all that shipping biz, but purely on its own, I expected a punchline or some sort of context to follow that massive huff.

"Oreo's gothic clown routines seem like poor man's Wade Robson to me."

That's also true. Elimination episodes are sort of a necessary evil; 90 percent painful filler, but better than the alternative of not having them at all, which this and last season have demonstrated. I suppose another option would be, I dunno, having an elimination webisode, maybe? I know it seems like a stretch, but…

I think the show being forced to ditch the elimination episode kind of screwed it altogether. There's just no way to really fit it in to the main episode without it feeling wildly out of place. Placed at the start of the episode, it feels like a terrible first impression. At the end of the episode, however, and it's…

Another Ode to Soos:

I still think the end tag to the merman episode (the kid in swimming pool prison) wins out.

It's kind of astonishing that, in a show as gruesome and out-and-out bloody as this, that elegant "veal" dinner at the end was the single most horrifying scene of the season.

Well, that was fucking draining. I'm going to go curl up in a ball and cry for the next year or so. Until this incredible show comes back.

Pete knows Bob's the type who can go places and quickly. Better to hold onto a person like that as an ally (however begrudging) in the long run than to burn the bridge permanently.

@avclub-0156b2354dbfac532599c5d359cb4f9b:disqus Eh… I see the Betty parallel but I thought the show was clearly
depicting how much of her mother she has in her in a situation where
she was in the right. Sally's whole plotline was a demonstration that she's more similar to her mother than she wants to believe, but…

It's mind blowing. It's been 20 years since "The X-Files" began. She was beautiful then, but she's like… authoritatively sexy now. Like anyone suggesting otherwise will be smote by the sheer power of her glance.

I agree with this. I can understand how it might be TOO awkward for some, but that's only because Dancy sells it so convincingly. And frankly, it's a little heartbreaking as well; Alana shares similar feelings for him and he knows it, but she also knows that dating a guy who has violent hallucinations and who worries…
