At first I worried that giving backstory to a guest animator's avatar based on Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron would ruin the simplicity of the character, who is an inexplicable source of joy and delight
But they were able to flesh out/grow the character and convey a good message while still having silly fun with it all. Good stuff.

Yeah, this has been my favorite cartoon tied with Invader Zim but after watching Islands, it finally took my number one spot.Nearly got teary eye'd at the end of Islands. Man, I'm going to miss this show when it's gone
I will miss this show but we still have the rest of season 8 and 9 so a good 1-2 years left.

Heres Adams original concept for Fern (and a bonus Finn-arm concept), plus the mods I made once Steve and I started storyboarding Reboot.
Yeah that really stood out, looked awesome.
No, just the four according to episodes Evergreen and last season's Elemental. Here's a quick refresher: Evergreen was the Ice Elemental of his era but croaked trying to prevent the Lich Comet from striking the planet. Gunter used the crown but his desire to be like Evergreen corrupted it into transforming anyone who wears it into a sort of Evergreen clone complete with Ice powers, but not a true Elemental.
The rest is explained here.
Watch out for Islands spoilers. Youtube is ripe with them.

Is this the last season and the end of the show, or will there be more episodes after this? I think I read somewhere it's the last one, but I'm not sure.

Kissed a mod for a tag; liked it
Conveniently I did a rewatch of this show and finished s7 last week. Had no idea it was back this week so that was a massive coincidence.
Good stuff so far.

This is the second-to-last season. The next season is the last one and the show will end in 2018.

Oh man, the last episode I caught was when Finn helps the forest wizardess. How much left and where can I watch them?
Thanks for the link. I'll try to avoid Islands since I want to watch those as they air. And appreciate the information you posted on the elementals. Did not remember at all that Gunter corrupted the crown himself and prevented true Ice Elementals.
Also, do we know anything else about what Betty is doing or was her last thing just messing with the crown?

Ok, so hulu has up to the thin yellow line, a dozen or so episodes shy of the full season... why?
The crown corruption doesn't prevent new Elementals from being born, Patience St. Pim is proof of that. Patience not dying was what kept a new Ice Elemental from being born. Avatar rules, yo!
No idea what Betty's plan was. She tried to reconfigure the crown from within but it didn't quite work as intended. Could be she'll try to un-corrupt the crown slowly rather than all at once.
Hulu gotta Hulu. Or maybe CN is at fault, but the 6th season DVD/Blu-Ray is already out so there's no reason to withhold eps from Hulu to improve sales.

This show is so great. Makes me sad to think that this is the final season. This show and playing Nintendo video games never fail to cheer me up when I'm feeling down.
Was watching some season one episodes earlier today and was surprised by how much Finn's voice has changed throughout the years. But it makes sense considering the age of the voice actor

Not the final season. Second last.

Oh alright, that's cool.
Having finally watched it I concur. More in depth stuff when the episodes air.
Btw, she is voiced by Lauren Lapkus. I hope we get more of her soon!

theres another season after this one
Islands didn't do it for me at all tbh. :/
I found Minerva to be thoroughly uninteresting, and didn't really buy into her relationship with Martin at all. I wish they'd dedicated an entire episode to that instead of rushing through it in a ten second montage. I also find the idea of her having uploaded her consciousness to be such a played out trope at this point, and they even had her ready to kill everyone to keep them safe as well. Groan.
I don't know. Finn learning where he came from is something that I've been anticipating for years, but it just didn't come together in a way that I could enjoy. If Finn was to meet his mum, I'd have liked it to be something more. I'd have liked him to get genuine answers, genuine interaction. Instead, it's a crazy duplicate of his mum's personality in dubiously authentic A.I form. It was 'sad' for Finn to find out about all of this, but it lacked real emotional weight in my opinion. If you'd asked me what Finn meeting his mother would look like, I'd have imagine it to be a huge event in the show and for Finn's character, and it just didn't feel that way to me.
Oh, and I get what they were going for in showing the different islands and how they represent possible futures for humanity, but I found Whipple, Mysterious Island and Imaginary Resources to be very dull episodes all in all. Could have done without them so they could have spent more time developing Minerva, Martin and the whole situation really.

You can't tempt me with those black bars, agents of Satan.

Now that's how you start an arc.
At the last minute CN tweeted another video promo for Islands:

I guess we should expect things to get heavier.

I loved Islands tbh and thought it worked very well and made sense in universe. As for people feeling dissatisfied
Adventure Time has always been about the reality of things not always turning out the way you want them to. When we first met Martin was a good example of that. Not everything can or will be fantastical, nor should it be, and i like that for relationships between characters they keep it grounded. As for Martin and Minerva's relationship, I found it heartwarming
They should have showed this on TV sometime before today :V
