I appreciate that Hirsch just stopped when he ran out of ideas rather than dragging it out. Artistic integrity.

Wow! a two parter in Steven Universe!

And it was a complete throw away episode that wasn't even all that good on its own... but worse because it introduces two interesting things that it discards by the end of the episode!

Which... also kind of had the gems acting really unnaturally (though in all fairness... they might have been TRYING to act extra civil)

And featured the juiciest pumpkin in existence.

I guess I am kind of disappointed... Though I am noticing how much the Gems know about human/Earth culture SEEMS to be based on whatever the writer thinks it the funniest.

Ditto.

Really, many weeks of waiting for this? Sort of underwhelming.

Schedules are at the whim of Cartoon Network and have very little to do with production.

Fair point. I guess I got my hopes up, previous double episode being Bismuth and Ashly Burch announcing that she will voice a part in the show during the hiatus.

You guys set my expectations so low again that I quite enjoyed it. :D
I think the episode suffered for having to juggle so many characters though.

I actually didn't mind it at all. It nudged a few plots forward, introduced a character, lightly celebrated a holiday (harvest festival / thanksgiving), and had a nice Aesop about trying to love and be inclusive of people (family) despite their differences. I loved the scene around the table, where Andy was just completely left out of the loop on all their in-jokes and stories, being a newcomer to the group; that's an experience I think a lot of people can relate to.

For plot reveals, we saw that Steven's plant minions aren't absolutely loyal to him (even if it was just a gag). Interesting to see how Greg skipped out on his family, changed his name, etc. I sense a future backstory? Also, judging by how the camera lingered on Andy's hair at the end of part 1, is Marty a relative of Greg's too? And does that make Steven related to Onion, Sour Cream, and Vidalia?

Just a few things to like about it.

The pumpkin dog. All my cuteness sensors bleeped at the same time. I want a pumpkin dog now.

Ah yes, the insatiable lust of corn and rice, clearly two of the most erotic foods.

Adventure Time S7 Finale, Preboot/Reboot.

After a season plagued by filler(albeit intellectually stimulating filler), the finale has left us with a cliffhanger that promises the next season will see some significant progression to the greater story, with Finn finally meeting other humans and learning about his past.

I'm still sad that it has to end in 2018, but at least it looks like it's going to be a fun ride until then.

I couldn't have hated that scene more... but that is because I loathe sacrine fakeness. The kind I got a lot as a child.

But I figured it was supposed to be fake. So don't take it as criticism for the scene so much that I saw it as annoying and fake (The Crystal Gems don't typically act that way and Pearl tends to act that way out of condensation, something that puts her at odds with the other Gems)

---

I watched the Adventure Time Finale... and... Frankly...

If it is a sign of what is to come... It would be better if Adventure Time ends next season... or just right now.

I LOVE Adventure time but the problem wasn't that it was "Ridden with filler" the problem was that the writing fell into a horrible vortex of despair... and it still hasn't climbed its way out of it... which is sad because before the Finale I actually thought it had.

Why do I say this? Well for two reasons

I just read that Rick and Mortey season 3 is expected to have only 3 episodes when it premieres this March. My disappointment knows no bounds.

Not according to what I read:

http://www.denofgeek.com/us/tv/rick-and-morty/248392/rick-and-morty-season-3-premiere-date-preview-trailer-and-more

Rick and Morty Season 3 confirmed at Magic City Comic Con to be 14 episodes.

What is odd is that I'd have no problem with only 3 episodes.

It would mean we would actually get an ending to a show :P
