I've wanted to see a fantasy story where a monarchy is replaced by a fledgeling democracy, only for the instigator of the democratic government to rule like a monarch anyway because he knows exactly how to game the system. "Hot Diggity Doom" wasn't exactly that, but I was nevertheless thrilled to have that itch

The catalyst comets aren't always about destruction. Finn's past life as a comet seemed to land in the ocean, for one. The Lich comet killed the dinosaurs, but then again it's the Lich.

Billy might have discovered it and planned to tell Finn as thanks for snapping him out of his funk. Alternately, he could have been the one that put Martin in the Citadel to begin with, which would explain his hesitance in revealing that information to Finn in the first place. The Lich could have discovered this

I'll have to review the episode for specifics, but right after Exposition Turtle finished her rant, the guards mentioned sweeping the area or starting to ransack things to find them, prompting Martin to make a break for it.

Outside of commenting on the AV Club about AT and SU, I'm actually not that active on any kind of social media. Even on Facebook my biggest source of updates is taking song lyrics and running them through Translation Party until they're strings of nonsense, then posting them like a poem.

I knew I'd seen him somewhere since the Island Lady episode. His divinity is unassailable, bro.

They never did directly state that PB was Phlannel Boxingday back in "Lemonhope". It doesn't hang together completely (how did the Lich know about Finn's dad, how did the Lich know about Billy's ex, what was the real thing that Billy wanted to tell Finn if not that, etc etc), but it's just something that came to mind

We hope you've enjoyed No Moral Theater!

Step aside, Party God.

I've been kicking around the idea in my head that it was the Lich appearing in the form of Billy that told Finn about that. It's not a perfect theory, but it does play into the Lich's plan to escape the Time Room just a bit too well to be a total coincidence.

Werewolf Queen! The answer is always Werewolf Queen!

Glad someone's finally taking the heat off me.

I actually rank "Ghost Fly" second only to "Root Beer Guy" on that list. Nice eerie atmosphere with some great physical comedy.

The scene with Ice King eating a cheesecake gas grenade reminded me of the classic Looney Tunes exploding xylophone bit. Graham Falk is the go to guy for classic animation references, and he delivered once again in tonight's episode.

Great catch.

It's the year the Angels arrived.

I'll add "The Tower", "Jake the Brick", and "Pajama Wars" to that list of stand out episodes.

I've really taken a liking to Graham Falk's storyboarding style. This and "Ghost Fly" had a very unique aesthetic to them.

It reminded me of an episode of the Clone Wars cartoon where The Son kills Ahsoka with the touch of a finger. That kind of effortless display of power really hammers home how Magic Man is out of Finn and Jake's league. Equal parts funny and chilling, like all of Magic Man's best moments.
