* Several comments on how Episode 50 serves as a turning point for the destiny of Vineland Island's residents.[[labelnote:The first]]Well, this is one no one could have predicted. After the build-up of the last few episodes, I think everyone was expecting this episode to feature the epic battle between the Jahns and the remaining villagers. However, we arrived on the island to find Vinny already out of the mind control, apparently with no memory of what happened in the last two episodes. I have to hand it to the writers: I don't think anyone could have predicted Mulder and Scully from The X-Files showing up to resolve the conflict off-screen. Though it may seem like a bit of an anti-climax to some, it perfectly sets the scene for the true tone of this episode: a more retrospective, emotional season finale. In regards to the Jahn Invasion, we got some rather hilarious exposition as to why they were there, as well as an assurance that everything is now okay (apparently it was only Captain Jahn who was controlling Vinny). And at least we have assurance that Wario is still alive, if perhaps a bit out of it at the moment. The scene where Vinesauce finally asks Cling On out is a beautiful conclusion to the romantic arc of the season. After all these months going after Two Faced, Vinesauce can finally find happiness in the girl who's had his back almost since the beginning. Having Jjjjjjesus turn up to try to steal Vinesauce's girl was hilarious, and Bowser's appearance was rather fitting. There were also some other emotional moments: we got a few moments to mourn the characters who fell during the Jahn invasion, and Vinny's final narration about the future of the island was genuinely moving. The episode also featured a four-part song between Vinesauce, Vlinny, Sponge, and the new character Vineschnoz, showcasing how far we've come. On that note, we got some intriguing notes about the future of the series. Vlinny seems to have officially become Vinny's rival, and he has officially been selected as the character who will be sent to space. There is also potential in seeing where the romance between Vinesauce and Cling On goes, how Hailey deals with the loss of her friend Levi, the intriguing mystery of Clown Lady's "locked" memories, and Lumberjahn's attempts to integrate himself into human society. Perhaps most intriguing, however, is the introduction of Vineschnoz, who previously appeared only briefly on the corrupted Vineland Island. I must say, his appearance in the real world is rather worrying, and I am eager to see what precisely it means.[[/labelnote]] [[labelnote:The second]]It's amazing how perfectly everything went, This was like an actual 50-part TV series. Vinny had every part of a story nailed down to a tee. There was the introduction of the characters. The acclimatisation of the viewers to the Vineland world.The emotional attachment of viewers to the game world through: Romances, Breakups, Real-time events, Childbirth, social/physical interaction between Vinny and the Miis. All characters were developed slowly until there was a real connection, with the only standout being Vinesauce who, as the protagonist, recieved slightly more attention.There was love and loss for the protagonist in his trials to become involved with Two-Faced. A gradual buildup of tension and conspiracy as events took a turn for the serious with the Jahn invasion. And a climactic final episode in which the Jahn invasion was prevented and Vinesauce became romantically involved with the fan-favourite Cling On, the island's true sweetheart all along. We found a new friend in Lumberjahn, who represents the atonement of his people for the damage they caused. While new friends were made, old friends were also lost, but they live on in the memories of Vineland's citizens, revered for their sacrifice in surviving the Jahn onslaught. ("Jahnslaught", if you will.) Faced with everything that has happened, the Vineland citizens have grown and matured into a community that no longer needs a God to survive, and rather than opt for deletion in the face of Vinny's imminent disappearance, they have embraced their first chance at independence, and are willing to tackle their own problems and solve their own conflicts. They are, however, not blind to the crucial role that their God Vinny has played in their growth both as a community and individuals -- as a sign of gratitude, they have insisted that he still visit from time to time.The chief antagonist, Vlinny, has returned to his old, harmless self, as he feels the Jahn's corrupting influence leave his mind.In a TV series, the final image would be Vinesauce and Cling On, embracing on the beach, basking in the warm, tender glow of the setting sun as our final episode of this wild adventure on Vineland Island draws to a close. The screen would slowly fade to black, as the following words appear on-screen: My friends, the streams may be over, the adventure may have drawn to a close, and our sun may be setting, but the future of Vineland... looks brighter than ever.[[/labelnote]]

* Sponge, despite having a very dull and flat-toned voice when speaking, sings in an expressive baritone, which is surprisingly easy on the ears. His song, "The Ballad of Sponge", is all about his rejection by everyone else, but his hope that one day, '[[HopeSpot maybe I'll find my fame]]'.

* During the David Bowie special, Sponge lost Bowie, his best friend. This created a ton of sad fan art, but things began to look up when [[spoiler:Sponge got together with Clown Lady]].

* From the David Bowie special, we have Walrus saying that Jocelyn will always be his little baby. It goes to show just how much he values his family (particularly after all that he's been through).

* Episode 55's credits, chiefly the use of [[VideoGame/ChronoTrigger "To Far Away Times"]].

In regards to the Jahn Invasion, we got some rather hilarious exposition as to why they were there, as well as an assurance that everything is now okay (apparently it was only Captain Jahn who was controlling Vinny). And at least we have assurance that Wario is still alive, if perhaps a bit out of it at the moment. The scene where Vinny finally asks Cling On out is a beautiful conclusion to the romantic arc of the season. After all these months going after Two Faced, Vinny can finally find happiness in the girl who's had his back almost since the beginning. Having Jjjjjjesus turn up to try to steal Vinny's girl was hilarious, and Bowser's appearance was rather fitting. There were also some other emotional moments: we got a few moments to mourn the characters who fell during the Jahn invasion, and Vinny's final narration about the future of the island was genuinely moving. The episode also featured a four-part song between Vinny, Vlinny, Sponge, and the new character Vineschnoz, showcasing how far we've come. On that note, we got some intriguing notes about the future of the series. Vlinny seems to have officially become Vinny's rival, and he has officially been selected as the character who will be sent to space. There is also potential in seeing where the romance between Vinny and Cling On goes, how Hailey deals with the loss of her friend Levi, the intriguing mystery of Clown Lady's "locked" memories, and Lumberjahn's attempts to integrate himself into human society. Perhaps most intriguing, however, is the introduction of Vineschnoz, who previously appeared only briefly on the corrupted Vineland Island. I must say, his appearance in the real world is rather worrying, and I am eager to see what precisely it means.''

-->'''Comment:''' Well, this is one no one could have predicted. After the build-up of the last few episodes, I think everyone was expecting this episode to feature the epic battle between the Jahns and the remaining villagers. However, we arrived on the island to find Vinny already out of the mind control, apparently with no memory of what happened in the last two episodes. I have to hand it to the writers: I don't think anyone could have predicted Mulder and Scully from The X-Files showing up to resolve the conflict off-screen. Though it may seem like a bit of an anti-climax to some, it perfectly sets the scene for the true tone of this episode: a more retrospective, emotional season finale. In regards to the Jahn Invasion, we got some rather hilarious exposition as to why they were there, as well as an assurance that everything is now okay (apparently it was only Captain Jahn who was controlling Vinny). And at least we have assurance that Wario is still alive, if perhaps a bit out of it at the moment.
