Although I do have to wonder if that was always the plan for the character or what. Because he was consistently underwritten, which was weird on a show that is chock full of character.

At least they acknowledged that they pretty much didn't know how to fit him into the main cast properly.

One of the Russian generals resembled Zangief. It really did feel out of left field, but now Thomas is gone, so, less deadweight on the cast.

They probably thought of it around the time of one of those park wars episodes, where Thomas infiltrated the vending machine guy's park, it hinted this a bit. Also this was amazing, Zangief saying STOP HITTING YOURSELF, AMERICA will forever be in my heart. That plan was just loving brilliant, this show has the most amazing third acts.

My favorite thing is just how people die. No Natasha didn't just fall from the plane, she was eaten by a whale as well.

So Thomas was just Poochie'd then? Because that was the best Poochie'ing ever.

The thing about Thomas is that they seemed to want him to be a straight man, but that role was already filled by Skips and Benson at different times, so he was a bit redundant.

I dunno. Benson and Skips each had their own weirdness (as you kinda pointed out), but Thomas was just... Thomas. He was the straightest of men, and I actually enjoyed watching his reaction to everything occurring around him.

Thomas as a character never really fit on the show i felt they got rid of him in a great way and almost made sense of the fact he was never around much.

The best thing about Thomas was when he lost the scary story competition in that one Halloween special and literally wore his costume in every episode til the Thanksgiving special.

I kind of liked the premise with atomic bombs and all that, but I'm not sure teenagers will understand that like many other things in the show Russia in this episode is 80s action movie caricature of the actual thing. Hell, I think they even played the wrong anthem and showed Kyiv as Moscow on purpose. Sure, Russia is trying its best to live up to that image of the enemy number one of America lately, but still it's probably not a good idea to reinforce this view in children TV. Or maybe I'm an idiot who cares about cartoons too much, I don't know.

I agree. It's a shame that people still use old jokes about Russia when there are so many new ones to choose from. During the reveal Thomas rips off his regular clothing to reveal that was wearing a tracksuit the whole time.

I'm still trying to come to terms with how the CCCP's plan was some sort of warped Yakov Smirnoff joke. "In Soviet Russia, US soil destroys missile!"

I haven't really kept up on this show since like, season 2 or so. I want to get to know about Thomas and end with the most recent episode. Without watching the last 3-4 seasons or so (can't remember where I stopped), where would I start to get Thomas' story?

Literally the last episode. There were hints in previous episodes, but nothing substantial. He was really kinda in the background for his entire run. Edit: The next-to-last episode with Thomas, Thomas Fights Back and the season 4 episode Cool Cubed were the only other Thomas-centric episodes.

It looks like he's being given an actual sendoff this week. Also, the Thanksgiving special is on, and it shows Thomas' mom. But Thomas is a spy and MOMM was the agency he worked for. I will not stand for this plothole in my stoner comedy for kids.

They addressed that in the episode, she's a robot controlled by Thomas.

Ugh, Mordecai's relationship poo poo drags the show down so hard, why do they have to keep going back to this well. Like I knew they inevitably would, but I was hoping to be pleasantly proven wrong. From here I guess the next episode will be Rigby trying to go back in time to before the party to warn Mordecai, but he goes back to New Year's instead by accident.

Goddammit, first Adventure Time is up its rear end with how DEEP it wants to be, for however deep a show about candy people and a talking dog can be, and now they're making a soap opera live triangle on this show which is always poking fun at itself 24/7?

Like seriously, the show got through the first nine minutes or so, navigated the stormy waters of bullshit, like it perfectly realized how dumb poo poo could geth, it was so close to being a pretty alright episode that put the Margaret relationship to rest, and then bam, in two minutes or so every single dumb thing that could have happened with Mordecai, CJ and Margaret being in the same room happened at once, augh

Welp, I hope it's not as bad as you're making it out to be, but this sounds pretty bad. I like this show, but it's kinda sticking out as sexist compared to the rest fo the CN line-up...

At first it made sense to have Mordicai pine after another bird. She had no problem showing her boyfriends and romances to her friend. I liked that mordicai had some character growth. He stoppped pulling a Mordicai and stepped up and got serious with CJ. I would have liked for margert to have played the other roll of meeting CJ and subtly over a season try to get him back rather that a stupid kiss. Now it feels like a stupid reset. Though the time traveling rigbi makes more sense now.

WTF was that crap with Margaret.  Also Benson hiring a guy to beat the poo poo out of muscleman all night was the best.
