#an absolute banger of an episode

[whatsagirltoblogabout]

Beautiful, brilliant, showstopping, fantastic, phenomenal, incredible, amazing, awesome, mind-blowing, exceptional. The White Collar season 3 finale is one of the best finales I've ever watched. One of the best episodes of anything ever.

It's so beautifully put together, so cumulative and climactic, elegant and craftily woven. So many callbacks and plot threads and character beats and moments. The overall arc is both satisfying and bittersweet. It's got the perfect balance of character growth and consistency, in everyone, not just Neal. And the framing device of the interviews is sheer brilliance! An excellent way of threading pure, grounded emotion between the more action-packed and tension-filled moments.

And gods, the ending. That freaking ending. It's so damn powerful. We see how fantastically competent Neal is on his own, but also how he understands the importance of relying on his support system, AND THEN he still falls short and gets saved by the extended support system that he's accumulated throughout the seasons. It's the most incredible display of this episode's theme of comparison between where he started and where he is now. AND THEN HE'S FORCED TO LEAVE IT ALL BEHIND. Gods, it's brilliant. It's so painfully brilliant.

i cannot even articulate how impossible it would be to try to explain the drawfee lore to someone. there's simply too much. if you, a non-drawfee viewer, read the sentence "schmando watches muscled kermit kill nathan fursona while sonic butthole saga lies dead and todd from mario floats overhead" then surely none of that makes any sense. and yet that is simply a drawing from a tuesday

So you want to watch Fionna and Cake…

Without having watched Adventure Time?

Or maybe you watched up to like season 3 when you were twelve, or caught a few episodes while high in college. Regardless, you've seen images of that wet meow meow old man or the the cute sword chick or the gay vamp/sugar queen pair and you're curious. You want in, and you don't wanna slog through 10 seasons of TV first.

Absolutely valid. That said, I do think that Fionna and Cake is… nearly impenetrable if you don't have at least some grounding in the original series.

So here you go: a curated list of 19 episodes to get you more-or-less up to speed. Most AT eps are only 11 min long so it shouldn't take long to get through! And while you'll definitely still be confused about some elements in the series, i think sitting there going 'huh, wha?' is an important part of the Adventure Time experience.

Enjoy!

I cast a hex, sending a Catherine Wheel of sparks towards the roof.

Garnet is one of my favourite characters ever. I love how genuinely funny and outgoing yet level-headed she is. And how strong and dangerous she is when she needs to be. I can't wait to see how she starts acting as a fresh deputy.

This was a good episode, a great episode even, but I just can't get over Cecil describing how his and Abby's relationship changed with "But then Steve came along, then later Janice, then Carlos and now Esteban."

Do you see what's wrong with that statement?

STEVE IS JANICE'S STEPFATHER!!!!!

JANICE CAME FIRST I WILL NOT LET YOU DISRESPECT THE FATHER WHO STEPPED UP LIKE THIS FINKNORIAMS
