I disagree that she couldn't trust any of the people in the Candy Kingdom, I think she has the options of Both Dr. Ice Cream and Peppermint Butler, both who (seemingly) have their heads on tight enough and are quite personally aquainted with the Princess. [Another note, Peppermint Butler has some sort of relationship with Death, which, if strong enough to prevent the death of Finn would DEFINATELY be strong enough to prevent the death of the Princess (since Peppermint is a lot closer with her.) ]

The argument that the serum is a "fail" is incorrect too because at the end of Slumber Party Panic the serum is able to restore the zombies back to the state they were while alive. Another point to consider is that in the episodes she claims made her consider her mortality (Mortal Folly/Mortal Recoil), she was able to be restored using pieces of bubblegum, which means she could be kept alive even in the case that she didn't have both access to an immortality serum AND a direct associate to Death himself.

So, if she's not concerned about living longer, than it has to be an issue she has with her actual legitimate heir, Lemongrab. (in which case using her concern about "mortality" is misleading on all accounts.) So what it seems to be is an issue of splitting hairs because her current successor... what, isn't up to scratch? Monarchies throughout history hve had the exact same problem, though, I suppose since scientific experiments are allowed to succeed as heirs in the kingdom of Ooo she's allowed do whatever crazy shit she wants to mess up the royal bloodline...

... I'm just mentioning these things because it all just feels a bit strange, coming from a show that normally has such wonderful continuity for the writers to overlook such obvious things for the purpose of a "deep" story plot. It's just slightly disappointing.

In terms of predictions though, I doubt Goliad will be a facsimilie of 13-year old Peebs. That doesn't really make any sense and I don't get how anyone who was thinking logically about the canon would come to that conclusion.

DESPITE my nitpicking though, I am interested in how this episode is going to pan out and the impact it will have on the universe (if any, because life-changing revelations seem to have very little significance in the overall arc of the canon, I'm looking at you Simon Petrikov.) Here's looking forward to Goliad.
