Cartoon Network retroactively changed the season breaks after the fact. As far as the creators are concerned, season seven goes from "Bonny and Neddy" to "Reboot", season eight goes from "Two Swords" to "Three Buckets", and season nine is the remaining sixteen episodes. CN recently decided, for whatever reason, to…

Yes, Fred Melamed. It's not Martin's brother; it's PB's Uncle Gumbald.

Yep, that and we've seen him before, in one of Banana Guard 16's flashbacks in "Thin Yellow Line".

Stop. Stop it. I mean it.

The funny thing is that over on reddit, I've been trying to talk other fans into accepting how mysterious Ooo still is. Even as the lore and ongoing plot-threads have become such big parts of the show, there are still a thousand unanswered questions left by every episode. I'd say that's one of the show's greatest…

Not if Jon Stewart doesn't have to feel about about his "I like people who don't get cancer" bit from early in the campaign.

Wasn't there a book like that? Bring the Jubilee, right?

I've posted before about the resurgence in recent years of the "Small town full of supernatural mystery" setup, one of my favourite tropes. What are you guys' favorite examples of that setting? Mine are probably Twin Peaks, Gravity Falls, Welcome To Night Vale, Stranger Things, and Life Is Strange.

As in, a job at the library where you work at night (While it's closed), or a job at a library which is open all night. Because if there are all-night libraries, I want to go hang out at one.

The creators intended these episodes to be the finale of season eight. There are sixteen episodes after this, which were intended to be all of season nine. Cartoon Network messed with the season breaks after the fact, so as far as they're concerned, we're in the middle of season nine. Either way, we still have a bunch…

Wait, so I'm not a millennial? But, I don't own a car, or buy diamonds, and I like nice food. How can I justify all these nonsensical aspects of my identity if I'm not part of that wacky millennial generation?

He was INSIDE the lemon!

The real question is, why don't more people care that there's a movie where David Bowie plays Tesla and Andy Serkis plays his sidekick and they build futuristic steampunk technology for bloodthirsty magicians?

Still my favorite Nolan film; it's through-and-through brilliant. I think Nolan has never found a story that quite suits his tonal sensibilities as well as that one does; his dry gravitas has out-of-place moments in almost all his other films, but in The Prestige, it carries every moment beautifully.

One defense I heard is that almost all of Wiseau's lines in the film were re-dubbed later, so it would actually be inaccurate for Franco's line-readings to sound exactly like his.
That's a pretty weak defense for what is an honestly not-great impression, but I'm also very excited for the film. The trailer did an…

I will never tire of the sight of Mark Hamill's awesome beard.

Stephen Colbert, on how the GOP's attempts to pass a healthcare bill have gone: "It's like if Batman v. Superman took a Pontiac Aztec to Blockbuster to rent The Lone Ranger and watch it on laserdisc; that's how badly they failed."

Agreed, Star deserves coverage. Definitely rising to the ranks of Adventure Time, Steven Universe, and Gravity Falls. And yes, it's gotten darker than Steven Universe ever has, although not quite as dark as Adventure Time occasionally gets. And I'm not sure even Adventure Time touches Scooby-Doo: Mystery Incorporated,…

It is. Season 9 is only going to be 16 episodes, though, so we're definitely in the home-stretch here. We already have fewer episodes to go than the length of any previous season.

"Abstract" clarified what Jake's biggest ongoing struggle is, and this one reminds us (As if we needed it) of what Marceline's is: her past. The fact that there are still things from Marceline's life that she has not fully processed, such as the absence of her mother, is indicative of one of my favorite things about…
