User blog:M TheVampireKing/Season 4 impressions so far...

So, quick comments on season four up to epsidoe... 92? (Card wars)

Loved the season's premire (Hot to the Touch). Really enjoying the colour FP brings to the show. The writers must have seen that the viewers were getting a little tired of the repeated formula of Finn and PB. FP really is just a monkey wrench though... she could end up with Finn (and will if PB stands by) but I find that unlikely. Episode's result: +50 romantic tension for Jake

Five Short Graybles, Web Weirdos and Dream of Love were all just classic AT episodes. Nothing really cannonish in these episodes... Except in Five Short Graybles we see an interesting holigraphic depiction of the earth with a big hole in it... Result of the Mushroom Wars? Maaayyyybe.... Dream of Love seems to have been an ok use of old characters.... but the singing cracked me up! I love how TT had a high squeeky voice whereas the pig had a deep baritone voice... struck me as funny anyway.

Return to the Nightoshpere and Daddy's Little Girl were clearly Marceline episodes from the title.... but I wasn't very happy with the episodes. While the plot itself was very solidly based... (continued rocky relations between Marcy and her dad) the episode itself wasn't very well carried out... Why might you ask? Let me ask you this: How much screen time did Marcy have over two episodes? Two full minutes? I like Marcy's episodes because she's IN them. If she doesn't do any talking or even appearing... it might as well not even touch on her backstory/relations at all. Just my opinion.

In Your Footsteps was.. in my opinion... one of the more bizzare episodes. That bear.... I spent the entire episode completely distracted/suspicious/curious of the bear. It was just... unnerving. But... with the ending... I realized that it was supposed to feel like that. While it will still be weird in my opinion, it was a step in the write direction plot-wise by the writers in my opinion. It shows that they havn't forgotten the snail (and it always made its appearence). This is still better because it showed Finn actually used the Enchiridion, and that they were building up to the season four finale, which has been titled The Lich. (more on that later)

Hug wolf through Princess Cookie were more "generaic" AT episodes. Not that I didn't enjoy them... but they weren't super plot oriented. Princess Monster Wife was particularily odd as it showed once again just how lonely and twisted the Ice King is... Goliad was good because it showed us that Finn and PB's relationship was still healthy (Friendship wise) and that Finn could function around her again. And finally there was Princess Cookie. Which was one of the darker (character wise) episodes of AT. That's it so far... more to come as episodes come out
