Ok I have a theory on the Wailing Stone episode of Steven Universe...

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

The reason why Garnet gave up so fast is she foresaw what was on that message.

More to save his own people I think, I've got a long-standing theory that Aku cannot be permanently defeated, only contained or banished.

I mean, the gods did a pretty good job of wiping out 99% of the proto-aku in the birth of evil episode in the first series. (Though maybe it was just letting itself be destroyed to sneak that one piece out, in which case the idea that they could destroy it would be moot). Aku certainly wasn't destroyed when the sword beat him the first time in part 2 of the Birth of Evil though.

New episode of Adventure Time is out. It's another excessively artsy one, fully of symbolism that I don't have time to analyze. But 'Orb' serves as a bridge to the 'Elements' miniseries that is supposed to air all next week, so that might be interesting.

If it was as bad as last season's finale, yikes.

Adventure Time is probably one of the only times I've experienced the state... where a show finally starts answering some questions... But where I don't care anymore.

Which is odd because I've definitely watched through LONGER series and still cared...

JK, I am apparently not at all caught up on this latest season.

Supermansion season 2 seems to be finished. It was only 10 episodes where the first season got 13, and I'm having difficulty finding any confirmation that it's done, but the most recent episode certainly felt like a season finale.

I liked it. Lots of jokes, most only worth a chuckle, but a few that were really creative and some genuinely hilarious. And all with story arcs full of twists and drama that could compete with DC or Marvel.

Renewal for season 3 already happened, and I'm looking forward to it.

So Scaramouch is back and trying to convey the message to Aku that samurai lost his sword.
20 dickbuttbucks says either Aku will know that all along or samurai will find the sword before the message is delivered.

I am so used to watching Anime that while I was watching the Latest episode of Samurai Jack I actually checked halfway through to see if the episode was almost over.

Why? Because anime typically goes at a snail's pace. A single goal usually takes two episodes..

I am not used to TV shows actually going places.

Well they do have to cram the entire season in 10 episodes.

So I watched an episode of Bob's Burgers where they did a LARP of the 1901s and oddly enough their image of how the Servants were treated by the Super Rich makes me question a few things... (and yes, I know the show LIKELY meant a lot of it as a joke... don't worry)

What stood out is apparently the servant's clothes smelled like mold (Which typically means they weren't dried or properly cleaned)... which I would think would be unacceptable. I can't imagine you would want someone hovering around you smelling rancid.

The other is that for dinner they had gruel (typical "EVIL GRUEL!" not... you know... actual Gruel) that tasted so salty as to be inedible...

And while they TYPICALLY didn't get anything special (Porridge, vegetable soup, bread and butter)... It wasn't terrible food after terrible food usually. There are exceptions on both ends of the spectrum mind you (There are a few famous cooks who were basically kitchen maids who served excellent foods to the other staff using simple ingredients)

Don't get me wrong... It still typically sucked for servants back then... But sometimes I feel like people are compensating for something and feel the need to suck things up even more.

A lot like how shows and movies aren't allowed to show a slave who isn't in perpetual agony and eternal despair.

It's the school of American Writing. Conflicts aren't interesting unless they're really, really brutal. As the old adage goes, torture your characters. Also, I'm inclined to agree--would it really be as interesting an EPISODE if everyone were treated fairly well? No, it'd probably be pretty boring.

By god Samuria Jack is fucking awesome. It doesnt feel like there been years between seasons. They reframed it, they made it more mature without making it more gritty. I love how they're protraying Samuria Jack PTSD and night terrors.  And the knight spectre following him, and what that was, was great. I love Aku now being used as this levity tool, trying to combat his enuii. And even while doing that, they still showed that he is this incredible force that can't be easily disregarded.

Honestly... I was... a bit.. surprised the spectre was real... I honestly thought it was a metaphor (I still wish it was)

A sort of Metaphorical Thanatos so to speak.

There magic in this universe. A literal figure of of Honor doesnt seem so outlandish. Though I am not quite sure what it is. It seems more driven by Jacks guilt, then his actual honor.
