Well now I have this vision of Humanity suddenly and collectively deciding That's Enough for civilization. "Alright, literally Everybody! Good work, let's pack it up!" They take all the buildings down, fill the quarries back up and retire to Florida.

Pikmin is probably a better comparison, but the villagers reminded me of the Tontatta from One Piece another friendly, diminutive race put to work by unscrupulous deception.

As opposed to the non-apocalyptic end of civilization.

Point of order: Cyril didn't start masturbating before the credits, he resumed masturbating.

There's also high-quality ceramic components. But since there appears to be electronic parts involved, presumably there are some conductive parts as well.

How do people, in the context of Adventure Time know what constitutes weird? If someone's first day at school warranted a police escort, helicopters, barricades, (and whatever Finn and Jake's official role is (this isn't like Korra, where "only person who can actually accomplish things" is an actual title)), etc., I…

I wondered about the airport security thing myself. I imagined a scene where Barry walks through, sets off the alarm, chuckles softly to himself, and pulls a piece of rebar out of his jumpsuit. The TSA agent asks why he has it, he bends it into a pretzel, the TSA agent waves him past.

I only got it just now.

When I saw Ms. Kringle, I literally said Oh, Lord out loud, because I knew it heralded an Annoying Nygma Scene. The basic problem with this show is, they decided all these characters they were going to include, but not a reason why they're entertaining.

And am I correct in thinking this episode coined the term "'zpach" as slang for "gazpacho?"

The "Ants" gag at the beginning made me think of Archer, and now I want to see a cross-over. Which, since one's on Fox and the other FX, is actually doable.

In addition to Charles Frederick Andrus (developer of the Charleston Grey, forerunner of many modern watermelon varieties) here's some other stuff you don't have to Google: "What fresh Hell is this?" or rather "What fresh Hell can this be?" is a quote attributed to Dorothy Parker, Bessarabia was a part of Romania…

I'm starting to get the impression that the series started relatively early into Steven's relationship with the gems. Like, Steven digging through a pile of board games they've never heard of suggests they've never played any of them with him before. It reminded me that when we first saw Greg, it felt kind of like…

And the final room was a Mario Bros (Bowser's lair) pastiche.

The Last Airbender may be the worst movie I have seen in a non-Ludovico context, which, by the standards of adaptations of Nickelodeon properties, is pretty bad.

I've been thinking for a while now that a Star Trek series set outside the Federation, somewhere in the Enterprise/original series era is the way to go. I'd like to see a series following some band of humans and aliens trying their best to keep away from the Federation, like a Roddenberry-flavored Firefly.

Not all the adults would die. We see old decapodians, which means their society is run entirely by the losers who couldn't find a mate, which explains sooo much.

Irrelevant, but…"throw" not "through," "elicit" not "illicit," and, in this case, "effect" not "affect" (though the former is more often used as a noun, in this instance it is used as a verb).

The bit with Jenny and the Zombie (band name!) was great. When you're worldbuilding, it's important to add in stuff like that, that's not part of an overarching narrative, to make the world weirder and more interesting.

I'm not going to say you can have your cake and eat it too, but while titillation/exploitation do a disservice to empowerment, the latter can actually service the former: agency, competence, and, y'know, being good at punching people are all sexier than the alternative.
