Oh, you can still get mad. Just follow me and Sterling's lead; we're pushing the "Total misunderstanding of songwriting from the point of view of a character" angle.

"I mean, Mr. Loggins is clearly advocating for some very unsafe driving behavior. He even literally says he's taking his passenger to the 'Danger zone'! The so-called 'Danger zone' is the LAST place you should be thinking about going when you're behind the wheel of an automobile; you have a responsibility not only to…

I remember; I rather stupidly took part in that. I still think it's an incredibly dumb "Argument".

"What exactly is it about the fact that not every song presents the singer's personal perspective that you don't get?"
"Uh…core concept?"

Christ, are we going to have someone on here who thinks Randy Newman is racist because of "Rednecks"?

Of course kid's shows can be poetic. The Last Airbender could be poetic, Over The Garden Wall got poetic very frequently, Adventure Time is rarely not poetic these days, even Gravity Falls snuck a little poetry in every now and again. Steven Universe is different, of course, because it almost always hovers around a…

That's true, but something about seasons five and seven just play differently, probably because those season have a bigger emphasis on the ongoing "Plot".

Man, where's it all headed? This season is just loading up guns with Chekhov's name on them left and right. It's funny; season six was a long, artsy detour away from the normal flow of the show into Finn's psyche, and I loved that, but this season has reminded me of what I felt towards the back half of season five,…

I think all of those artists are better than Journey. Styx, Boston, Meat Loaf, and Billy Joel all have a minimum of one song I can at least tolerate ("Sailing Away") and at best actively enjoy ("Peace of Mind"). Which is more than I can say for Journey, by whom I have never heard anything that didn't make me want to…

She's like a real-life Garnet.

I am forever indebted to that quote, because I was scrolling through the comments section of a Tom Waits music video once, and there was some whackjob down there who was claiming that Hitler was nihilist, and that Nazism in general was a nihilistic philosophy. That clip from TBL was handily available on YouTube, and I…

Okay, sorry. I misunderstood. I think we both essentially agree that the episode was excellent, so it's silly to argue over minutia.

Don't you read these reviews? EVERYTHING is a metaphor. There's no other point to serious storytelling; every point you make about the human condition, every idea you try to get across, all of them have to mean something else or be a biblical reference or some shit.

Here are my thoughts: GGGG's sacrifice is still meaningful because it certainly looks as though they believed they were going to die, and were willing to do so to save their society. And that episode is still the end of an era, the final separation between a creator and their work. GGGG is no longer the ruler of Mars…

Well, as Steven Universe said ten minutes before this episode aired "Maybe instead of Forming, you could work on something else?"

Let us not forget Laughing Stock, one of the greatest albums ever recorded.

Well, they got Rebecca Sugar, Ako Castura, and Ghostshrimp for "Stakes"; if they do the series finale as another miniseries, who knows who they could pull?

"What'd he say?"
"He said 'My new prison is shame.'"

However badly that worked out, let us not overlook the fact that Lemongrab CHOSE to go out on a date with somebody. That's huge.

"if Sugar and [REDACTED] became successes outside of AT, so can he."
Well played.
Good point about Adventure Time being sort of a launch-point for this generation of cartoonists, although the king of that is still "The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack", whose roster included Pen Ward, Patrick McHale, Kent Osborne,…
