Adventure Time II: Everybody Knows Your Name

Yeah, it only killed most of the microbes. That's why people still turn into skeletons and stuff.

[Pokonic]

That truck had rust spots on it though.

Who know's when actual rain falls, anyway? There's probably enough weird weather in Ooo to the point when actual water falling from the sky only happens around fifty percent of the time.

[Daftendirekt]

What microbes turn water into knives, I wonder?

What microbes turn water into knives, I wonder?

Magical microbes, tainted with the foul energies of a magical bomb.

Magical nuclear fallout will give us the Land of Ooo. Fund it America.

I dunno, I thought they just used to be gal pals. Despite what a lot of teen ages boys think, girls are just weirdly close. So are boys, mind, but they are conditioned to hide it.

This is the impression I got, considering how old the two of them are Marceline is probably PB's only real peer.

[Pokonic]

....Welp, that last two minutes was unexpected.

Also, it figures that the Ice Kingdom's been done, since the new version of it's been in the background for at least, what, ten episodes now?

[Daftendirekt]

Wat.

[Pokonic]

So, uh, that episode. It was nice. Also, someone needs to track down the translated Korean, because that would clear up a bit.

[Pokonic]

Oh dear.

Candy person immortality just got a bit darker, and going by PB talking about colonizing and the actual kingdom's greyish pallet scheme that shows up every so often when bad stuff is happening in it, I don't think this will end well. Also, Bubblegum convinced one of her more dim subjects (apparently on purpose, giving the clone acted almost exactly as James did) to sacrifice himself, and she had no trouble with cloning said candy person and naming said clone after the sacrificed original. That's not a good sign of her value for individual life.

The real question is why should she value individual lives whose personalities and memories she can bottle? Seems a little odd to maintain that she, who lives in totally different circumstances from us, would have to maintain the same moral/ethical grounding we do.

I really digged this episode, especially with the similarities between the radiation folk and the zombified candy people.

it's hard to say how much of his actual memories she cloned. Sure, he's a doofus of the first order, but he seemed to have literally no recollection of the events that transpired.

I thought it was clear that the vanilla ice cream sandwich person she whipped up with James's DNA was a blank slate, effectively, going by how he reacted to the awards. It's a identical physical copy of the original James, but that just means that the 'goofiness' of the original is intact, rather then any of his actual identity.

I would go so far as to call them identical, given that PB refers to them as "poisonous creatures from another time".

That was my thought as well. His original programmed personality is intact, but without the memories.

Yeah, I figured that was the point of the lucky coin. The "real" James was disturbingly fond of that thing. The clone James, on the other hand, seemed pretty nonchalant about it.

Besides, even if she could completely restore his memories and personality, the original James still suffered a horrible fate and is now a toxic zombie, so it's not like there isn't a victim here.

There had to be a victim though and she decided it would be James. She explained her reasoning and the only weird part was knocking out F and J. Gotta let people know what's going on before you just start taking control of the situation like that.

It was a perfectly logical and rational decision. But also continued to feed into the creepy dark side of Princess Bubblegum the show has been building up for some time

Yeah, but I was mostly talking about how "I can clone him later" factored into her decision. Though I'd argue the KOs weren't as weird as her sabotaging every possible escape plan so that her option was the only one.

[Tectonic Robot]

The clone she made of him very much wasn't the original one; it's pretty obvious that the new James is just a replacement goldfish for the old one.

It kind of irks me they are going into the mad science direction, as opposed to the 'joy in science', especially since she is a female character. There is not enough female characters on TV who have a true joy in science. She was kind of going in this direction earlier, and it saddens me she is no longer.

She claims that she knew they wouldn't work, so she had to make sure they weren't attempted. That makes a fair bit of sense actually.

Guess who's appearing on the float?

Noticed that. The Balloon-a-thon was a little hint too. At least here in the States.

Also, on other news, the last episode for this season is called Frost & Ice, which probably means that it's a sort of christmas special.
