On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

That was harsh, Rick and Morty. Fucking harsh.

...I was hoping you were kidding.

Was that the season finale?

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

It looks like there's a new episode airing on the 26th. Thank goodness.

On the one hand, that's a relief. On the other, kinda want to just hold my breath until then.

That was awesome, Gravity Falls, fucking awesome.

Given the time it takes to produce an episode of TV animation, I wonder if this was written before or after Fury Road was released?

So Princess Bubblegum/Marceline is now pretty much canon. I was all aboard the Korrasami train, but I'm less enthused about this. It maybe feels less earned, more pandering to the fans?

I liked "Varmints" anyway, though.

It's been there going back to PB wearing Marceline's t-shirt in "What Was Missing" and that was followed up with the witch clearly indicating that the emotional power contained in that t-shirt was basically super powered. That it had absorbed the essence of PB's feelings for Marceline.

Not to mention Marceline's song in "What Was Missing" ('I'm Just Your Problem") which is totally an ex-lover's song.
