the whole season is an extended epilogue to the last season/movie, so I'm forgiving it for not having a compelling overarching story besides "Steven fights deep anxiety and fear about the future"
totally with you on the lack of Connie though, it seems like she should've been a key part of this story. but we've got eight more episodes left, i think
def don't agree about Adventure Time's last season, it got too much with all the different threads they had to pull together, as much as I love that series as a whole

Forgive the thread spam, but I wanted to note that this show's 2020 season is nominated in the 2020 ILX TV poll:
ILX's Best Television of 2020 Poll / VOTING AND CAMPAIGNING THREAD / Voting Ends After January 29, 2021
If you like this show and you'd like to see it have a good showing in the poll (running in February) all you need to do is submit a ballot including it and your other favorites (3 minimum, 25 maximum, ranked by your favorite to least favorite) to forksclovetofu at gmail. It'll take five minutes; get to it!

Watching this now, some of the episodes haven't aged well, namely Ronalda being a harmless conspiracy theorist but who could've predicted Cue Anon?

That's not fair, because Ronaldo was actually right about half the stuff!

OK the first season is VERY iffy for me -- the humor just doesn't land for me, which makes the season, with how low stakes most of its episodes are, a slog, but when they figure out the mythology of the show, EVERYTHING gets better.
Also, I love the homage to Roadrunner cartoons.

Finally started season 5, and while there are some pacing issues (a whole episode on Mayor Dewey getting booted out of office????), when it focuses on the grand narrative, it's amazing.
