Yeah, I've noticed that. This episode went for 19:29 minutes and was padded with filler.

You can ground your kids while still giving them a sense of autonomy and a sense of questioning their authority. Generally parents ground kids not because they like power, but because their kids are being shits and they need some peace in their lives.

But generally we allow humans autonomy when they've grown to an age where we think they have the power to control their own lives. Besides BP, Finn is arguably the most sensible person in the kingdom, and he's a child who is often irresponsible. I'm happy with BP controlling the people of the kingdom, maybe locking…

Am I the only person who hates Tree Trunks (seriously, I might be on my own here)?

The episode was great until the clips stared rolling. I like the change of direction though.

This so much, if this will actually happen, then not only does it feel like a clip show, but it also feels like a long advertisement of this season. Do we really need an advertisement about archer given it's the fifth season and probably 99% of us have seen every episode? I'd dare say we're already hooked. If it…

I down voted you not because I'm "giving them love" but because you called a 13 year old boy who you don't know an idiot. Again, pretty harsh dude. edit: I just realsied I already made this point and I'm repeating myself, sorry! I'll walk myself out.

You'd be surprised how many people actually think that a) it's an accurate show or b) that it's not but hey it's funny, or both. I think the aspect of the minstrel which is accurate is that apart from minstrels being incredibly racist they're also incredibly awkward and unfunny. And I'd say awkward and unfunny…

They don't live at home because that would mean they would have to give screentime to the respective families which would suck up viewing time. They have jobs which the show mines for humour, they don't have a balanced sense of hobbies or balance their hobbies with their social life, or lead an active social life.…

"The kid is using a term he barely understands to make himself into a victim."

It's a poor criticism, but give the kid some credit, at least they're trying to describe the fact that this show is fairly stereotyped, and hates on nerds instead of lauds them. I give the friend credit for knowing what a minstrel show is in the first place, and most people don't know how to make cutting cultural…

A bit harsh dude, he is 13, I probably said a bunch of things when I was 13 which were and still are blatantly obvious, yet seemed innovative or smart because, well, I was 13 years old and didn't know better.

"I'm trying out for field hockey"

Was that Osteopath bit a joke about how the girl didn't really know what an Osteopath was or that Osteopaths are lame and they were both not comfortable talking about it? According to wiki they're only good for fixing lower back pain, which is kinda like a firefighter being only capable of putting out oven fires.

"Gene! Is this… your first time as a human shield?"

Nooooo. I've been meaning to do a rant about why season four sucked and why this was a return to form, this looks like a good time and place. This is too long a rant already, so sorry but IMO you're dead wrong.
