Nah, it needs more people like you. By which I mean, it needs more people with Soos avatars. Dude.

That's weird, because I defended "Red Throne" at the time for bravely sticking to Finn's character development to the point of making their main character seem like a bit of a dipshit for the sake of remaining emotionally honest. "Love Games", "Dungeon Train", "The Pit", and "Rattleballs" all clearly showed that Finn…

I disagree with literally all of that; however, it was very eloquently put, so I won't fight you over it.

Between this and the last episode, it's been really nice to see a functional, somewhat emotionally mature Finn take the spotlight. No other season's Finn would have handled this Huntress Wizard thing or the Hall of Egress the way season seven's Finn did: he's been reeling from one thing or another since "Mortal…

I'm assuming pretty soon, since they brought her up again in this episode. This is a standard AT tactic: if they've left an arc alone for a while, they'll give it a brief nod shortly before making it important again, just to remind you that it's there. Case in point: Ancient Psychic Tandem War Elephant hadn't been…

It's already been renewed for an eighth season, and I highly suspect the creative team will be ending it after that anyway. Seems like they're mounting towards resolving a lot of big stuff, and a season and a half should be plenty of time to tie everything up.

Memefication aside, the first Shrek movie really does hold up.

That's exactly what it is. They could have gotten people who said "Scooby-Doo is stupid, let's do something totally different", and they could have gotten people who said "Scooby-Doo is awesome, let's not change anything", but the guys they got were smart enough to say "Scooby-Doo is awesome, let's make the best…

I think a few of the other iterations are worth throwing on, if only for simple entertainment, rather than the amazing storytelling and thematic depth that characterized Mystery Incorporated. The original "Where Are You"s are still amusing, What's New Scooby-Doo? was actually pretty solid (Plus, they did one update to…

I'm not entirely sure it counts as an adaptation, but Mystery Incorporated really did give me a new respect for Scooby-Doo as a franchise. It's simultaneously a deconstruction and a return to roots: the creators clearly went into it with a mindset of "Okay, as dumb as most of the actual material has been, these…

Todd? Is that you?

Perfect. Less than a week after I start watching a show, it gets canceled. I'm starting to think I'm cursed; this same thing happened with Hannibal. Quick, everybody tell me what shows I shouldn't watch, so they'll stay on!

I'd be inclined to agree, except for one thing: Gravity Falls. That show's fans only got more enthusiastic than ever while the last half-dozen episodes aired, despite the fact that Disney handled Gravity Falls even worse than CN has handled Adventure Time.

Well, I'm just going off of anecdotal evidence, so you could very well be right. All I know is that at the places on the internet where I discuss the show, I saw a lot of people who were bored or even angered by season six's focus on philosophical/spiritual questioning over monster-punching. And I see a lot of people…

Wow. A somewhat intelligent decision from DC regarding their movie universe. Who'da thunk it.

For a while, that's exactly what it did. But season six, for many, was a bridge too far: 3.32 million people watched the premier, 1.55 million watched the finale. Obviously, those numbers don't factor in the internet and many other things, but it still indicates a trend. When Finn started saying things like "If just…

Oh, I get it; you're a fuckwit. Moving on.

Dig deeper, Bitenuker. Why did nobody watch it? Why is Law & Order still on and Hannibal isn't? What part of Hannibal wasn't digestible for enough people to keep it on the air?

No joke—that what I thought it meant when the title of this episode was first announced. I was anticipating a very different episode from the one we got.

I still don't get the idea that it was "Too experimental". "Too experimental" is a label I would reserve for something so devoid of accessibility of any kind that it is completely unenjoyable. Moynihan's experiments don't come anywhere near that; "Astral Plane", "The Mountain", and "…Floaties" all still have good…
