Finn's "I'm a bad person" form looked suspiciously like Martin. Nice callback there.
I am so, SO digging the character development we've been getting for Finn this season. This show really is a masterclass in why the whole "Hero can't be as interesting as the side-characters" thing is bullshit, and just an excuse for

Whoa, a reference to an early R.E.M. song? That might be a little too hip for you, Fuller.

No, more of an influential singer-songwriter. A really, really extraordinary one, at that.

Well, there's obviously going to be more. Betty's still out there; that"s going somewhere. Most likely nowhere big until the season finale, but if this season is going to be as long episode-wise as the last, that's not too far off.
Also, there's a plethora of plot-threads for them to resolve over the course of the

"And it's gonna change ALL this."
I see what you mean, though. This season could either be a victory lap or a great last meal, depending on what happens when the Lich returns and if GOLB decides to show up.

So, revisiting my argument from a month or so back that this is a season of fanservice, let's recap what we've got so far: PB's origin story, some emotional PB/Marcy bonding, the return of Rootbeer Guy, the return of Canyon, a BMO mind-games episode in the "BMO Noire" tradition, an eight-part count 'em eight-part

If it's of those two then it's the next, which has already been confirmed. Which has my position for a while now: you don't start hinting that Simon might be cured in the foreseeable future and have, like, four seasons left. Plus, as of "The Comet" Finn is sixteen, and since the show is the story of his childhood, it

We're getting an episode later this season entitled "Normal Man", which should be interesting.

Actually, come to think of it, this is eerily reminiscent of the crown's debilitating effect on Simon: the crown rendered him a person who can only push away what he longs for the most. His desperation for someone to love makes him into a very unlovable person (Just like AMO. Holy shit, it all connects), just as

Not only that, but Finn just had three episodes in a row where not only was he the focus, but the focus was the maturation and drive of his character. "Crossover", "Hall Of Egress", and "Flute Spell" gave us a crystal clear view of exactly who our current, sixteen-year-old Finn is, and he's a fascinating protagonist

Yeah, it figures that Betty's scheme would turn out to be faulty. Remove the board from your eye before the splinter from your neighbor and all that. That's the biggest takeaway for me: until Betty gets her shit sorted, every attempt her MMS-addled brain makes at fixing Simon will only lead to him getting hurt, in

See, I don't see that. Hugh Laurie's character is obviously brilliant, ambitious, self-supporting, all that good stuff, but in the film's eyes he's an utter failure, and let down the people his genius gave him a responsibility to. I thought the film condemned the Tomorrowland folks for being so exclusionist,

Tomorrowland was a pretty straightforward example of reach failing to meet grasp, do in large part I'm sure to Lindelof's meddling. I take a lot of issue with accusing the man who made Ratatouille of being a Randroid; it strikes me as absolutely silly and unfounded.

So, can we stop accusing Brad Bird of being an objectivist based on The Incredibles, now that we know exactly what a real objectivist superhero movie looks like?

"Honest."

Bernie gets elected, Trump loses all his money and credibility, his supporters all realize they were duped and take this as a sign that they may have been overly hostile towards the left, the political discourse is healed, Bay and Snyder come out as a couple and move to a secluded cabin in the mountains where they

I cannot answer you, because it’s totally unknown to me what you just asked me, and also very boring.

I love Inherent Vice, The Big Lebowski, an "Lily, Rosemary, and the Jack of Hearts". I guess I'm a zany lingerer.

Hey, he already threw in a third protagonist; why the hell not? Why not try to squeeze in a continuation of Superman's arc from MoS, introduce Batman and his arc, pit those two against each other and explore that dynamic, have them become allies and explore that dynamic, bring back Lois, introduce Wonder Woman,
