Myeehh maybe? Who knows with ghosts? The memories could be implanted because magic. Don't gotta explain jack. It's probably more likely that she is an actual previous life though.

Also notice a continued boys&dogs girls&cats theme. Although that might just be to cement that Shoko is another form of Finn, similar to Fionna.

Mind = Blown

As much as I adored this episode, this whole back story probably wasn't planned until they started writing season 5, somewhat lessening how great this was. Unless someone can prove otherwise, I think the writers realized they had an unresolved plot detail and turned it into the coolest thing imaginable. It wouldn't be the first time they ended an episode with something unknown with no plans to bring it back but then later changed their minds (see the first Treetrunks episode)

It's generally thought that Adventure Time does have a structured, planned-out plotline, but the show is half structured plot and the other half is stuff made up on the spot. Lemongrab was supposed to be a one-shot charecter, for example.

I don't think Shoko's ghost was doing the haunting; it's more like his past life's memories are bleeding through to his conscious mind, and he interprets those memories as ghostly manifestations because they're scary (not to mention painful: I really can't blame Finn for repressing that particular death ). That's why, in the last scene, Finn sees Shoko where PB sees a humanoid skeleton.

tl;dr It's all in his head.

By the way, am I the only person who now wants to see a comprehensive guide on the religions of Ooo? We now have the confirmed existence of the Underworld, at least thirty-seven Deadworlds, and reincarnation, not to mention other beliefs like Jake's Nirvana-esque union with Glob.

[Worira]

Should probably spoilers that.

[Daftendirekt]

Does anybody actually follow the thread and NOT keep up with the show? Show of hands, please.

[Worira]

I dunno, we all just seemed to be spoilering stuff.

[hobbitkniver]

Yeah, I agree. If you missed an episode and haven't seen it yet, just don't check the thread until you have. If there's suddenly lots more posts, people are probably describing a new episode.

[Beacon of Chaos]

I don't know when the episodes are aired, so I sometimes check the thread just to see if there's a new one, so I actually appreciate the first few posts being spoilered.

Anyway, just watched this one. Superb! The show is finally picking up again. And the recent comics have been fantastic too!

I just realized during my 2nd viewing that the banana guard that spots Shoko and her tiger is green. He's not ripe yet! I love how much this show puts into the details.

Yeah, Shoko's death was really, really unpleasant when you actually think about it. I mean there must've been catastrophic organ failure involved, or else some kind of internal rupturing or damage from the sheer weight of the mutations involved. Heck, given how much mass she gained she either had a bunch of her body broken down to make it or physically absorbed and incorporated the goo into her body, and that stuff was hella radioactive.

I mean I'd wager like five, maybe six things probably lethal on their own were going through her body towards the end. She was certainly feeling it, since she knew she was gonna die when she did. It wasn't exactly a pleasant way to go.

[Pokonic]

Well, this show is like a bloody running commentary of the fanbase's concerns, isn't it?

"I think we could go back to adventuring now."

"Nope, still not over Flame Princess."

[Muenster Man]

Finn has chin stubble in this episode!

It's right before he sees all of the slime tanks.

[Worira]

So, Finn karate chopped a tank's turret in half. And yes, they do appear to be actual metal tanks coated in slime, rather than made out of slime. I guess that explains why Finn hasn't been carrying his sword around as much lately.

[Daftendirekt]

I'm curious about the radio show they seemed to be making at the beginning.

There's something wrong with you if you don't get feels from that episode.

[Ravens_cry]

Well, that was a rather single innuendo laden episode. It didn't help that Slime Princess has a very adult woman's voice.

While not fingerprints level of radar bypassing, it's still rather a 'what the. . . ' moment.

[Worira]

Well, it looks like Dungeon Train is going to be an allegory for substance abuse, so that will be interesting too.

[Tectonic Robot]

I just trawled through this thread to see what everyone thought of "I Remember You" when it first came out, and I'm surprised to see that I had posted something way back then. Huh. Crazay.

I think that, all things considered, Ice King is actually near the top of the power levels in Ooo. I mean, I'm pretty sure he gave the Cosmic Owl a good blast, and he stopped a Lich-possessed PB. It's just really easy to forget. He probably takes it easy with Finn and Jake for whatever reason.

Anyway, I rather liked the episode. It's good to see Ice King get to interact with regular people instead of princesses and heros, and be decent.

It is my belief that the Ice King does not really fight seriously at all, either because he's forgotten how or he doesn't realize the gravitas of the combat. Also he's kind of a dork.

Do you know what would make me fall apart into a pile of squeeing giblets? Seeing the Ice King protect Marceline or somesuch and get serious during a fight, and do something amazing.

[Worira]

Personally, I want to see him pull off some Fridjitzu while he's crownless.

I dunno, "fingerprints" was a pun that could easily go over a kid's head. The spooning scene made it pretty obvious what they were referring to.

That's what I mean by the 'single innuendo'. It wasn't even really trying to hide it.

I'm not sure if you know, Spooning isn't a euphemism for sex? Spooning is an extant term for lying in bed and cuddling. Intimate but not really sexual.

Forking on the other hand...

Beware of forking badly. It can lead to knifing.
