I'm disappointed that they re-aged Princess Bubblegum. 13-year-old her was so friggin' adorable, and it was nice seeing her and Finn actually having fun and stuff... for all of one episode. Now she's back to being condescending.

While I liked the relationship between Finn and 13 year old Bubblegum, I would have missed all her hidden subtle psychotic tendencies, like at the end of Dungeon.
And even if it wasn't for any VA issues, it still did have an in-show purpose. The entire thing showed Finn that it could work. Now that she's five years older than him again, it won't be easy, but he has to be persistant. He might have to defeat a demon lord and warp through several worlds. But once he does, he can walk up the wizard stairs and produce his magic key he got in the water world and unlock the chamber door. Then he can walk up to the princess and give her a smooch.
I always thought the "wizard stairs" was a metaphor like Jesse Moynihan (who storyboarded that episode) said.
Since we've already seen at least one leaked storyboard that reveals that, yes, Finn will be aging over the course of the show, the wizard stairs could simply be - you know, growing up.

Doesn't Princess Bubblegum have to die in the first place before they have to put her back together? I mean, I doubt she'd get younger if you took a bit of her hair off.

I doubt death in the candy kingdom is nothing more than a minor inconvenience. She died once and was brought back wasn't she? Not to mention one of the first episodes of the series involved zombie candy people.
Also, is anyone else excited about Fionna and Cake?

I'm excited for Fionna and Cake, especially given the hilarious spoilers I've gotten off /co/.
Also, If I remember correctly, dying for Princess Bubblegum might be a bit more of an inconvenience than for most of her subjects, since she's (according to the creators) half-human. The other half of course is radioactive bubblegum.

Well she was possessed by a lich, exploded, and put back together and was just fine. I think she could go through this again.
I find it hilarious that they did an episode essentially tipping their hat to all the gender-bent fanart out there turning Finn and Jake female -- Fionna and Cake. It was even better because EVERYBODY was gender-bent. I think my favorite was Lord Monochromicorn.
I don't know what creeped me out more about that episode, that the ice king writes fanfiction about his own universe or that he ships finn/ice kingfionna/ice queen...
everyone in the show is creepy you can't go an episode in the series without someone doing something to make you want to scream and run from them as fast as you can or at least back away from them.

Really? I find the constant, dormant creepiness in every character part of the charm of the show. It's what makes it hilarious.
Doesn't matter. Guy's still weird for wanting someone's skin. Plus, he knew the grim reaper. I think Peppermint is just a demon in disguise.
Well, he is not a normal candy person by any means. I mean, lets see, he is friends with Death, knows how to go into the underworld, and hisses at a lich possesed Princess Bubblegum. Hisses. Sprouts fangs and everything. I would say he is a vampire, but then he would bubble up in the sun. No, he is something worse.

What I don't get is how come they're taking a break for a few weeks after the gender switched episode? What the math? I need my fix man!
Also, after seeing the gender switched episode, would anyone like to see an alignment switched episode? Maybe it's just because the Linear Guild is back, but wouldn't you like to see anti-paladin Finn dressed all in black and Lawful Good Ice King?
Nah, the Lich is/was (I think he's still alive in that snail or something) probably the creepiest thing on the show next to the guardian angel.*
The Lich's only reaction to Finn putting a sweater through his eye sockets was maniacal laughter, and then there's the fact that he has a skull with torn off skin where his lips should be, I never got how that worked.
*In my opinion

At least I'll still have the not-as-good-but-still-funny Regular Show to watch.
Oh, there is a fan-theory out on the net that I find rather interesting.
It states that the reason that MF and the Businessmen ( and by extention Marceline), are what could best be discribed as proto-goblins, or in other terms humans who are a generation or so removed from normal humans to the point that they are a different species,one that did not last long evidently. Which could mean one of two things, realy.
One is that humans where already mutating before the war, which would have interesting implications with the mere existance of Finn.
The other is that magic is the cause of the existance of Marceline and such, and that the GMW was fought with magical weapons that left the very few survivers of the varying bombs where changed to the point they where not human anymore. Some became very powerful ( in the case of MD) or went utterly insane ( the lich). The mutents and zombies and such are the decendents of those who where effected by the fallout and, with the help of the power of magic, adapted to the newfound crazyness of the world that would be later called Ooo.
As for the fish people that look far more like humans, my personal guess is that they where probably the decendents of people who went underground before the bombs struck, and eventualy mutated into what they are now due to both radiation leaking in and magic screwing things up.
On the other hand, the varying blueish humanoids that exist, such as the Ice king and Billy, are very much related to each other and are the closest decendents of the varying survivers of the bombs, which would explain why they are all at least adults with at least a few years on the average inhabitant of Ooo( and in the case of the ice king about 600 years, and who knows how old Billy is!)
