Yeah that happens sometimes, still better than when their missing the first season though. Seriously, how the fuck could I get invested by jumping into the second season? Dragon Ball Z was mildly confusing enough!

Yeah just sucks since I was rewatching and didn't realize that season was missing.
They did for awhile at least, that's where I saw it.
I know other superhero cartoons went from multiple seasons to one to gone, too, like X-Men Evolution. Meant to watch it, by the time I remembered it was missing episodes.

What are you talking about? Young Justice only has one season.
And that was Aqua Teen Hunger Force, on the one hand it was sad seeing something from my childhood go(literally everyone in my class thought the adult thing was a joke), but on the other hand it actually had the balls to fucking end so thanks for that.
Never watched the show (and I heard it was pretty awful), but it seems Johnny Test has been cancelled.
Which makes me remarkably happy. They pushed that show SO HARD because it cost pennies to make and air, but no one liked it. It was... just kind of terrible.
Me neither, but that's a shame. It sounds like the material had a lot of potential.

Gravity Falls
Pretty normal episode, not much to say- HOLY CRAP THAT ENDING!

Also, glad to know Gideon is still relevant, I missed that little creep.
Yes, yes it is. From Bojack's mom telling him that his misery is his birthright, to that bit in Arizona, one often wonders if they'll drop the comedy angle completely.
Regular Show
So... Benson, Mordecai, and Rigby just killed like a dozen people, right? Those guys they darted in the flying machines had to crash to their deaths.
WELCOME TO REGULAR SHOW! Hell in season 3,
200 cool folks were killed on a Death Star by them when they were trying to escape.
Also Richard Fulcher was on tonight's Gumball as-
Love that guy's voice.
Richard's dead-beat dad...who is a mouse apparently making Gumball half cat, quarter mouse, quarter rabbit WHO for some reason looks like a cat.
Watching Transformers Prime, while still LOVING it one question permeates that I have wondered since the original 1984 cartoon...why don't they give their human friends guns? I mean, HOLY SHIT they know Autobot secrets from minor to useful, Decepticons want to logically murder them, give them some fucking defenses! How hard could it BE for Ratchet to make a null ray, not that hard I'd think. And hell-
Just saying is all.
Miko literally helped kill an Insecticon in one episode! And these are the pussy ass Insecticlones from G1 made from scrap metal, these are Aligned continuity Insecticons which are so strong that only the entire team Prime combined can they have a chance of taking them out(also the third rail of a subway, but that can kill anything)!
Dude, they wouldn't even give the kids guns in the 80's when it was alright for Loony Tunes characters to out and out MURDER each other. Why would they EVER do it now?
To be fair, the older Looney Tunes were supposed to be for an adult audience (or shown before films in the news reels). Between the 50's allowing cartoons to be shown on tv and the popularity of Disney, suddenly everyone thinks animation is for kids. The crack-down on violence and other non-child "safe" stuff started in the 70's. It's pretty amazing you can even show a weapon now.

That was some of the purest, most evil shit I've ever seen.
Ironically, Rick is right: It wasn't slavery (at first)... the people involved don't know their existence depends on outputting this power and Rick never used the threat of force to make them to comply, even if he would replace the battery (killing them all). They were simply doing it to power things for themselves. It's only when Rick returns to his home universe and the battery works because he'll make a new battery and shut off the old one (killing everyone in that multiverse) if it doesn't that it becomes slavery because now everyone is involved in the project against their will and knows it. Morty talking about this and Rick admitting it certainly is NOW should have been the post credits scene.
Of course, this entire plot has a single glaring problem: because of the time dilation, the second Rick's battery shut off, someone along the multiverse line (and there should have been an infinite number of them once the second appeared because of the multiplying effect of the time dilation) should have realized what was going on LONG before Rick made them realize it. At some point, someone should have had a battery that stopped working long before Rick's did and they should have discovered a work around to appease both themselves and both higher/lower levels, which would then propagate to higher levels as a precautionary measure. In fact, Rick's battery should have NEVER shut off... rather, he should have been visited by his Battery Universe Equal the second the battery conked out to tell him that it'll be back on in a few minutes and that he should probably build THIS so he doesn't piss of his superiors (not knowing that Rick started the chain).
All that said... I'm kind of excited that a mere cartoon made me think about the issue deeply enough to come up with that.

And done watching all of Transformers Prime, damn good show, not the best Transformers show but definitely not the worst. Takes heed from ALL across the Transformers metaseries, hell one episode was a clear homage to an "Animated" episode but it...ended it a bit darker than it predecessor-
My only real qualms lie in the last season "Beast Hunters" as well...fossil finders would've been a better name. Hell, there were only
And yes while I hate being that guy, I also find it annoying that the main Predacon's name was Predaking...and wasn't a gestalt. Just saying, I find it irksome.
And out of impatience, I ALSO finished "Transformers: Robots in Disguise"...can't wait to watch it on TV because that crappy loading due to constant ads made the animation look even choppier. All in all though a good lighthearted sequel series, two qualms though...why couldn't the Autobots turn their arms into guns or swords? Was it solely to advertise the Decepticon hunter accessories? It gets even weirder since-
Prime had the bots getting new weapons all the time, but STILL kept their awesome gun-sword-hands. Also, why didn't Bee call his best pal Raphael during his time here like- AT ALL! They were total bros in Prime, but he wasn't even mentioned once! Either way it was okay on its own, and I feel a second season could fix any problems this one had.
Death's a better fate for a Starscream clone than cartoon limbo I suppose.
THREE real Predacons, the rest were just damn props! Totally, AWESOME looking props that should've been given names!

Megatronus was able to turn his hand into a drill, why the hell did he keep the awesome weapon hands?
So apparently "Red Vs. Blue Season 13" has started...20 odd weeks ago. And I am going to binge the SHIT out of the main episodes so I can enjoy the series finale properly when it airs.
Finally caught few episodes of the Transformers show that started a few months back. This is surprisingly good... too bad it's on at fucking 6:30 in the morning or I'd watch it live.
Steven Universe starts next Thursday so be prepared for the thread to get inundated again!

Fox ADHD! Though...it's usually just one new short a week that's like a minute long, despite the FUCKING commercials claiming there's a new Major Lazer EVERY WEEK! As well as re-runs of shows that may or may not be green-lit for a second season.

About two-thirds through Rick and Morty season 1, just finished "Rixty Seconds."
Listening to all that improv was hilarious. You could keep hearing the pauses and laughter; I loved it. This episode really felt like a shift in the show to make clear what it is--it had the aforementioned silliness, and then referenced more than one previous episode as if declaring "yes, we're doing continuity," and then also had a nice moment near the end that I didn't really see coming.
Looking forward to seeing what's ahead.
