The show also lost a ton of steam after Martin showed up. We all wanted more Finn story to develop but the Lich is too omnipresent to ever feel like we can beat him and Finn’s dad being a deadbeat agent of chaos was a pretty big wake up call to me that whatever ending I wanted wouldn’t be a happy one.

yeah I kind of fell off around the time Finn and Flame Princess broke up (I don't really know seasons, that's just the last major story beat I saw)

I'm kind of curious to binge for the finale, but... god I've missed a loving lot and I'm not even really sure if I'll enjoy doing it that much. :smith:

While I still enjoyed it, mopey post break up Finn was a low point of the show. He does get over it after hitting bottom though and it all goes up from there, albeit in a way that some might find too limiting. The show likes to evolve it's characters more than it likes to make big changes to the world and I think some people find that aggravating when things on the surface keep going back to the status quo. Because it's a show not under just one person's vision, I think the writers can't really make any big world changes so they settle for smaller, more subtle things (which I think is pretty much confirmed by the song at the end of the Stakes miniseries)

Everything stays

I got the Blurays so I could start catching up and watching the whole thing in order, but this strategy was turned against me.

Maybe a stretch, but has anyone here bought the region B blu-ray of Season 7? I refuse to downgrade to dvd just because CN are cheap fucks :argh:

Yeah, I've been meaning to check into this too. It's not like I might miss a lot of special features or anything. They stopped doing any commentaries on season 5, and season 6 had no special features whatsoever.

It’s not a joke. Although of course it’s not actually sex. This is the episode where Finn goes around “smooching” a bunch of princesses.

I would say with out hesitation that period from Martin showing up until Stakes was the weakest period in the show history.

Awwh. I really like a lot of that run. You Forgot Your Floaties loving rules.

On the other hand, I don't remember finding the first season is particularly good overall. There's maybe four episodes that I particularly like. But I've only seen it once.

You phrased that in a pretty confusing way tbh

It's only confusing if you assume Blu-Ray has a lot of people wanting it. I work for an entertainment company and I really don't know anyone who even has a blu-ray player. Why bother with one nowadays?

I did sort of enjoy the last 4 episodes but they felt rushed as gently caress. Is that the end for Jake's little origin story? And him getting back so fast too, it was just...really clear that they're ending it all, I guess. And now I've watched Steven Universe it's really bizzare hearing Greg's voice from Jermain.

Largely because I'm only too well aware that eventually the streaming services I'm using will shut down or change everything and I'll lose access to every digital think I mistakenly pretended to own.

I would say that most purchases of media is more around the lines of "I want to see it" instead of "I want to own it". Yea people re-watch stuff but it vanishing off of your platform of choice isn't enough to make a £20 purchase okay.

I speak from UK experience there though, it might be different in the US. It's based on what I can see from customer patterns in the company I work for.

I don’t know many people who have specific blu-ray players but I know a lot of people who buy blu-rays and play them in their consoles.

Although all I really meant originally was that the phrase “the demand” or whatever it was is usually assumed to mean high demand, not low.
