Adventure Time 5.23

One Last Job

Jake gets a ransom note from someone that is holding Jake Jr. hostage. They explain that if he doesn't get the gang back together and pull one last job, one last heist, then he will never see Jake Jr. again. Jake does what he has to and summons Gareth, the Flying Lettuce Brothers, and Tiffany Oiler. Together they rob the candy vault of the Baker's Shard but all is not as it seems.

Thoughts

Finn is in this episode briefly. Jake doesn't want Finn to know about what he is doing.

I love some of the dialogue. If you listen carefully there are a few lines that sound a bit like cursing.

Adventure Time 5.22

The Party's Over, Isla de Senorita

Ice King sneaks into Princess Bubblegum's bedroom. He tries kidnapping her but she wakes up and calls for her banana guards. Ice King gets the message, she doesn't appreciate him and leaves.

He hears a voice singing and discovers that the the island is a woman. She tells him about her boyfriend, Party God.

Princess Bubblegum isn't interested so, sensing Braco's dogged approach to courting her, she creates a robo-duplicate of herself and sends it off with Braco, who seems satisfied with it.

Thoughts

Finn and Jake show up briefly in this episode.

This was fun and weird which isn't unusual for this show.

Adventure Time 5.20

Shh!

Jake and Finn have a contest to see who can go the longest without speaking. They communicate mostly by using signs that they have written. BMO freaks out when Finn and Jake won't speak. BMO assumes that they aren't really Finn and Jake but doppelgangers. They try desperately to convince BMO, without talking, that they are the real thing.

Thoughts

This was a fun episode. I love how BMO immediately assumed the worst.

Adventure Time 5.19

James Baxter the Horse

Finn and Jake try to imitate James Baxter the Horse. The come close to sealing the deal but no matter what they try it seems like they can't quite get there.

Thoughts

Hmm...

Adventure Time 5.18

Princess Potluck

Jake and Finn go to a potluck party thrown by the princesses. Ice King finds out about it and gets angry that he wasn't invited. He comes up with numerous ways to ruin the party but none of them seem to work. He finally attacks the party. It is then that he learns he was invited but never saw the invitation because he doesn't read his mail.

Thoughts

This was fun. It starts with Finn and Jake but quickly becomes the Ice King's episode.

Adventure Time 5.17

BMO Lost

A bird grabs BMO and takes it far away. BMO escapes from the bird's nest. It starts to head home along with a bubble it meets soon after escaping from the nest. They find a baby whom BMO names Ricky. The baby is later reunited with it's mother. BMO and Bubble make it back to the Tree Fort.

Thoughts

LeVar Burton was the voice of Bubble. I know him best from Star Trek: The Next Generation.

This was a good episode. It was kind of crazy in places. The ending was a bit sad and a bit creepy but it also made me smile.

Adventure Time 5.16

Puhoy

Finn is feeling down because he told the Flame Princes a joke and she didn't seem to get it. He tells Jake and BMO that he needs a moment. He burrows into a pillow fort that they built and winds up in a pillow world. He is unable to find his way back. The path that led him there has disappeared.

Finn slays a pillow dragon and marries a pillow princess. They have pillow children. Finn grows old and dies. As he is dying he finds himself transported back to the treehouse where he lives with Jake and BMO. Everything is just as it was when he climbed into the pillow fort.

Adventure Time 5.15

A Glitch is a Glitch

Ice King unleashes a computer virus that threatens to destroy everyone and everything in the Candy Kingdom except himself and Princess Bubblegum. He does it because she said she would only date him if he was the last person left alive. Finn and Jake go on a quest to find the cure to the virus. It takes them to some very weird places.

Thoughts

This episode is not animated in the traditional style for this show. It has a very pixelated look but not a uniform pixelated look. That's the best way that I can think of to describe it.

At one point Princess Bubblegum starts kissing her own hand, repeatedly. 

Adventure Time 5.14

Simon & Marcy

Marceline tells Finn and Jake a story about her and Simon (aka the Ice King) from (996 years earlier) when she was just 7 years old and he was 47. The Ice King was just Simon back then. He had the crown but he didn't wear it except in extreme emergencies because it warped his mind.

Thoughts

Simon entertains Marcy at one point by pretending to put on a TV show. His presentation begins with him singing the theme song to Cheers.

This was an excellent episode. It was kind of awesome to see how well Simon and Marcy got along and how he looked out for her. This episode was nominated for an emmy.

Adventure Time 5.13

The Great Bird Man

Finn and Jake go looking for the Great Bird Man. He finds them after they collapse while trekking through the desert. It turns out that he is someone that they have met before. He was previously known as Xergiok the Goblin King. He lost his eyes since he last encountered Finn and Jake and changed his life. He went to live with large birds that live in the mountains.

Finn and Jake can see that Xergiok's missing eyes are in his beard. They debate whether to tell him or not but eventually they do. Xergiok puts his eyes back in and turns evil again. Ultimately he decides to remove his eyes. He wanders off into a reservoir where he meets a mermaid.

Adventure Time 5.12

Vault of Bones

Finn takes Fire Princess on a dungeon crawl to help ease her anxiety over her father's influence over her. She likes it at first but when she starts to get bored he let's her lead the dungeon crawl. She goes all fiery, which scares him but he plays along, gets captured but then she, using something he taught her, rescues him.

Thoughts

This was a fun episode. Dungeon adventures always make we think of Dungeons and Dragons.

Adventure Time 5.10

Little Dude

A wizard accidentally transforms Finn's hat into a sentient being. Finn names it Little Dude and it goes on a bit of a tear first through Finn and Jake's House and then the Candy Kingdom. Finn, Jake, and wizard attempt to prevent it from wrecking any more harm than it already has.

Thoughts

This was a fun episode although seeing inanimate objects come to life can be a bit scary, especially as depicted in this episode.

Adventure Time 5.09

All Your Fault

Finn and Jake travel to the Earldom of Lemongrab on behalf of Princess Bubblegum. They find things in disarray as there is no food. Lemongrab and Lemongrab 2 have used some information Princess Bubblegum left behind to make all their food into sentient beings. Finn and Jake give them the seeds that they brought with them but the Lemongrabs mash the seeds together and then turn that into a sentient being.

Thoughts

I enjoyed this episode but it was another weird one. There were all sorts of really strange characters in the Earldom of Lemongrab.

Adventure Time 5.08

Mystery Dungeon

Tree Trunks, Lemongrab, Ice King, Shelby, and Neptr wake up in a dungeon. They face numerous challenges but eventually make their way out of it. They find out near the end of their trip through the dungeon that it was Ice King that brought them together. He needed some inspiration for his Fionna and Cake fanfic and hoped to get it on this trip with them.

Thoughts

Finn and Jake show up in the last minute or two of this episode. Ice King's beard gets singed off just before he and his companions exit the dungeon.

I enjoyed this episode very much. It is wacky. I love how they get from one room to the next and then out of the dungeon.

Adventure Time 5.07

Davey

Finn changes his appearance and starts calling himself Davey to avoid having to deal with some of his fans. Jake doesn't like it. He tries to get Finn to revert to his old self by pretending to be a criminal but that just gets Jake arrested. Finn, still disguised as Davey, rescues Jake from jail and then then reverts to being Finn.

Thoughts

Finn's disguise made him look like a balding middle aged man.

I like this episode. It made me laugh.

Adventure Time 5.06

Jake the Dad

Jake tries to be the perfect father to his and Lady Rainicorn's five kids. He uses the manual that he got from his mother. He stays up all night keeping an eye on the kids but then he can barely keep his eyes open the next day. He tries reading a book to them about a fox that likes to eat babies but then realizes that it is wildly inappropriate. He throws the book away but then a fox finds it and shows it to some other foxes.

Thoughts

I didn't realize that Lady Rainicorn was about to have babies. I don't know if any hints were dropped in earlier episodes.

Finn is in this episode but this one is mostly about Jake.

This was a lot of fun. I loved the parts with the foxes.
