GC13 and David discuss Scavenger Hunt and The Plantars Check In from Amphibia.

While King Andrias clearly puts a lot of effort into his scavenger hunt, he could clearly use a trip to Summer Camp Island to learn how it’s done from Susie—he doesn’t even send them out for a single earring back!

At least he came through for the Plantars with an unlimited credit card. Sprig has the makings of a good rich snob, so here’s to hoping the Plantars can hang on to this wealth long enough to become old money.

GC13 and David discuss Marcy at the Gates from Amphibia.

The barbarians may not be at the gates, but the barbari-ants are willing to stand in—at least long enough to draw Marcy out! (Thankfully they never thought to tunnel under the gate, that might have caused some problems.)

So now Marcy is on the crew and she and Anne have a new mission. We’re sure Sasha will be glad to see them. What do you think her and Grime’s chess pieces look like?

GC13 and David discuss Swamp and Sensibility and Wax Museum from Amphibia.

Thank goodness Gravity Falls was about a bunch of humans, because Grunkle Stan is evil as a frog! Thankfully Soos is just as goodhearted whether he’s a frog or a human.

And we also learn Wally’s dark secret: he’s filthy stinking rich! Don’t worry Wally, we won’t hold it against you, especially since we can enjoy the fanciness so long as we aren’t paying for it.

GC13 and David discuss Quarreler’s Pass and Toadcatcher from Amphibia.

We’re sorry Quarreler’s Pass, you were a very exciting episode with some very good frog-eating villains, and you even revealed a new superpower shared by Polly and Sprig, but Toadcatcher is a tough act to precede.

And what an act Toadcatcher was. Sasha and Grime are back! If only that newt had let us know who she was…

GC13 and David discuss Truck Stop Polly and A Caravan Named Desire from Amphibia.

Wow, Anne is really sharing the having-a-lesson spotlight today, with Polly learning the first lesson and Hop Pop learning the second.

The point goes to Polly though, for being at an age where learning lessons is a much more common occurrence though, and for not trying to assist in the robbery of a bank to further her acting career.

GC13 and David discuss the The Ballad of Hopediah Plantar and Anne Hunter from Amphibia.

Well, Hop Pop got another lesson. Usually Anne has the lessons on lock, but she’s willing to share every not and again—especially since she comes back to learn the second lesson of the pair!

And while we didn’t mention the foreshadowing happening at the end of Anne Hunter make no mistake: we saw it.

GC13, Soren, and David discuss the announcement of the Lars of the Stars spinoff series for Steven Universe.

For a thing with only two sentences about it, you’d think we wouldn’t be so excited yet. But this is a spinoff we’ve wanted for years, so yeah: this is kind of a big deal.

So while details are light hopes are high: for the first time in years there’s more Steven Universe coming, and Lars is out there exploring and promising some pretty big revelations…

GC13 and David discuss Handy Anne and Fort in the Road from Amphibia.

A season of episodes is done and a season has passed in Wartwood, which means the mountain pass is clear and the Plantar family can go out on an adventure! Just make sure to follow Hop Pop’s road rules (unless you’re looking to suffer an unnatural death, or buy middling-quality ice cream).

A very conspicuous bit of foreshadowing at the end of the second episode. A new season means new things to reveal. Maybe we will know some day!

GC13 and David discuss the first season finale from Amphibia, Reunion.

Sasha, you may be evil but there is still good in you, we feel it. I’m sure we’ll get to see it some day. Today though you were pretty awful. Thankfully Wally was there to save the way!

We even made it through the season finale with no deaths! Well, except for one hideous plant monster, but it was probably pretty hungry so it’s probably safer this way. The toads are routed, for now.

GC13 and David discuss Children of the Spore and Anne of the Year from Amphibia.

It’s official, Anne is definitely accepted as a citizen of Wartwood (even if she, Polly, and Sprig are awful kids to have around). She may not have had anything to do with saving the town (and Amphibia) from Apothecary Gary, but at least she’s most improved!

Aren’t you just delighted that we had another pair of episodes with a happy ending that can in no way lead to bad things happening? We sure are.
