Seriously, TV writers got a lot of deadbeat dads, apparently, exhibit one is the writers of Lost. What did J. J. Abraham's dad do to that poor guy?

Finn himself is a bit prone to both activities between Beemo and his famous movie nights.

Armless Ash claimed to be Marcelines spirit animal a one point. I would want an upgrade if that dingus was my spiritual guide.

The moral compromise might be his decision to remain in the Citadel rather than raise his kid. Maybe his desire to be a hero and protect other people has taken him away from his obligation to his own flesh and blood. (Unless he's a prisoner, of course.) He could be the fantasy world adventurer equivalent of a…

I get why they would leave him out for this ep, as Finn needs to experience this journey alone, but, yeah, having it after several other Jake light eps hit a bad cord in an otherwise nearly perfect episode.

The line was actually cut, I believe. Glad they gave it a real build up and didn't keep it as a throwaway line.

I dunno, man. She looks pretty good compared to the cannibalistic despot one kingdom over…

They do abstract scenes so well on this show (although I would argue the earlier season reached even greater heights of visual creativity.) Can we also give a shout out to Marceline's incredibly brief but beautiful narration/dream sequence in "Betty," right after she passes out, which used the same visual style as…

Finn at school was cute gag but I would not want it to be a regular thing. Makes him seem less like a magical future boy and more like a fanatical setting forcing itself into the molds of everyday school drama (like every other kids show.) Also, it throws off the dynamic with PB making him his teacher.

Booo! I had not heard this.

PB seems to be rebuilding the Candy Kingdom in the image of the old Earth right down to the call centers, subway cars and urban ennui. The more she grows the kindgom, the further it gets from the magical land of the rest of Ooo. Maybe, in hindsight, this is not a smart move.

I would not rule out the possibility of a future sky civilization.

Location in relation to the other things around it, plus the fact Lemonhope climbs over a ruined train track and train car with candy cane striping reminiscent of the rails Finn rode during the murder mystery or that Root Beer Guy took out to the suburbs.

Everyone's arguing about this but I think that Boxingday's final speech was supposed to be a clear givaway. All the science talk, the reference to zanoids (going back to Season 1!) and the fact that a sky adventurer wouldn't be bound by the same treaties and Princess Bubblegum.

I didn't really understand why PB recreated him. Seems she should cut her losses on one of her most violent creations. I guess we're to understand he will be fine if left completely alone? Why not resurrect the brother who got eaten? He seems relatively protagonistic.

Nice catch. I also appreciated that for once the skinny weird guy was voiced by Brian Posehn. Amusing voice/body juxtaposition. "I can rave to this."

So I found myself pretty fascinated by the prospect of civilization falling again after another 1,000 years. But I don't think we're do understand everything's dead forever; simply that life/time/civilization/etc. is cyclical. Did anyone else notice the remains of those flying fighter machines? Do you think the…

I did not notice the treehouse still standing. I need to go rewatch that scene again. (Or, better yet, hope the story artists post the background art to KingofOoo.com.)

I think it's regarded as canon in that Penn Ward himself wrote it.

Are those JPG artifacts on the red lettering? What the heck?
