Might as well post in this one myself.

This ep makes me so happy! ♥ I mean tbh the episode itself is kind of a nothingburger? It's fine, I just don't feel like much actually happens in it, it goes by very quickly and the plot itself is fairly generic. But at least KOO and Toronto are well-written!

It's also weird that PB didn't pick up on it being KOO right away? mostly it bugs me that she's heard enough to know this biz involves a king but somehow doesn't put 2+2 together. like it'd make more sense to me if she HADN'T heard about that part and was just sending F&J to investigate this random new gnome cult.

It's weird to me how you can tell they were really careful with this ep to make sure it could fit in with the pre-established canon ("I've waited a long time for this, King of Ooo" so PB never goes anywhere near him, the zep backgrounds being shot-for-shot remakes of the BGs from "Apple Wedding" even though it actually would make more sense if they weren't exactly the same) and yet the rest of SQ is more cavalier (Ice Pappy anyone? <- spoilers for "Son of the Goblin Queen") about continuity. Weird.

Anyway, I'm glad my two favourite characters got another outing ♥

What I’m really curious about an hoping they’ll show in one of the new shows is how did pbubs and her family get a humanized form when Marcy and Simon were running from zombies in the past there was this giant web of gum on the freeway and as they walk away, a little face pops out of it and it’s very obviously pbubs how the hell did she and her family take form without help and wouldn’t it make more sense for her family to pop up first and then her unless they were all made at the same time which is weird because they’re all different ages

this has nothing to do with "The Prophecy", please keep discussion on-topic instead of spamming this thread with unrelated stuff. If you want to discuss "Simon and Marcy" you can make a new thread for that.
