It's never twins…

I really enjoyed it right up until the moment they stopped playing it straight. Then it became an incoherent mess.

Calling an A from Sava "well-deserved" is kinda like saying an "AS I SEE IT YES" from a magic 8-ball is well-deserved.

I'm still blown away that they gave a completely coherent and consistent explanation for why the Hyoomans wear cute animal hats.

That would be AAAMO.

Oh man, this was so good. After getting into something of a philosophical rut in the last season, I'm so glad to see Adventure Time get back to what it does supremely well — weird and wonderful characters and bizarre stories. But it wasn't just a renaissance… it was actually an elevation; Adventure Time on a far more…

You're talking about the guy who thought the Phlannel Boxingday episode was a Lord of the Rings metaphor (??), at the same time failing to notice the basic premise of the episode that it was Princess Bubblegum in disguise. Set your bar for critical insight very low and Oliver will not fail you.

And a few minutes into my second viewing I'm already having to return to give a shout out to the brilliant visual pun I missed the first time around — namely subverting the "robots looking like their creators" thing by having Pearl stick a completely redundant traffic cone on the nose of her machine.

Johnson and Liu continue to dominate this show in terms of storyboarding talent. This was impeccably written… it's amazing how they can pack so much emotion and wit into eleven minutes. There were so many great little moments in this episode that people seem to have glossed over one of my favourites — the amazing…

Pick one.

"we’ll include eight, 16, 32, and 64 as well, because everybody loves squares, right?"

Of course, I didn't mean to say they wrote all of the great episodes. Definitely agree on Florido and Mitroff, they're on a similar level — although for me, the killer was "The Test". That episode was genius, and the ending really hit me hard.

Obviously a super enjoyable episode. This is where this show really excels; beautifully animated stories starring the main cast, with an emotionally resonant element. Those were the three episodes that stood out to me in the bomb. The two incidental episodes were okay, but don't really come close. And I've gotta…

I was lukewarm till now, but I was really sold on her this week with "diediediediediediedie".

Hm… looks like I'm the only one who found this episode uninteresting. There wasn't an interesting narrative, and it wasn't very funny… I also thought Vidalia's character design was bad… way below this show's usual aesthetic standards. The episode wasn't bad like the Ronaldo one, but the show's lesser episodes do…

I dunno… the rest of the scene also made it look kinda shoehorned. Ruby and Sapphire's make-up talk instantly goes off on tangent without much relevance to Steven's comment. And it never really gets resolved, either. My feeling was that the dialogue was just a bit lacking here.

Just checked out the list of writers for the episodes… it's striking that Johnston and Liu are the pair behind virtually all of the really emotive episodes (including the last one). They didn't write for this one, which perhaps explains why the emotional dialogue was a bit more obvious and clunky.

The unanimity of the bad episodes says a lot about how few there are. The Grandpa one and the last Ronaldo one are also my only two candidates.

I found it jarring. Steven knows it was Pearl's fault. If they were going in the direction they did, they should have set it up, even with something small. For example, Steven could have asked Garnet a question which sparked her argument with herself. That would have been far more understandable and satisfying. But…

Not really the kind of detail you'd forget.
