@Marcen I'm watching it now calm yourself, Marcen. But I don't think I'm gonna like this one, it's got Lemongrab in there.

@Star Lemongrab? That is unacceptable. Though, I'm almost done with season 2, then I have to watch season 3. Then I have to watch season 3 of Futurama. So many things. lol.

@Marcen So far I can't get over the fact that his voice is so fucking shrill that it's like nails on a chalkboard essentially.

@Star I got used to his voice fairly quickly for some reason. Perhaps it's because I've heard worse. (Jar Jar Binks walks in) Oh God no. (shoots Jar JAR in the face)

Lemongrab is an unfortunate case where fans latched on to him for the wrong reasons, and the writers then gave him sequel episodes. Thankfully it's only about 4 more, but many wish he hadn't come back. At least the writers made even his obsessive fans realize the extent of his Jerkass behavior.

Thanks to Adventure Time, it made me realize that vampires CAN be cool. I so love Marceline.

I'd suggest skipping the first two epsides of season 3. I don't think it really gets good until Memory of a Memory.

I'm not sure what to make of Lemongrab. I've only seen one appearance thus far and he was kind of annoying.

I've only seen his first episode too. He's kind of annoying but not that bad.

I've never watched Adventure Time. What's a good introductory episode?

He's constantly yelling all the time just god. Who thought that was a good character trait for him? It's fucking obnoxious.

@ syd

There's the pilot. That's as good as any I guess.

Nobody. As I understand it, Lemongrab was designed to be annoying.

I actually read an interesting article on him once. If I recall correctly the conclusion of the article was that Lemongrab was meant to represent the notion that just because you have a condition(Autism is a fairly obvious conclusion to draw from what I've seen of him) does not mean behaving poorly is not, as it were, unacceptable, and that it shouldn't go without some degree of reprimanding. People with behavioural disorders may have trouble understanding why certain things are wrong but it's still important to impart on them that it is wrong.

There was also some speculation about commentary on the isolation people with such disorders face(Considering the only person Lemongrab can get along with is himself, and even then not very well). I'll see if I can find it. IT was interesting.

EDIT: here it is. Someone will have to tell me how far off my memory is, I sadly don't have time to re-read it at the moment but judging from the title I'm guessing I forgot a thing or two.

@syd. the pilot, the Enchiridian! or Prisoners of Love. As different as the pilot is, it seems to be broad strokes in continuity to the series, as we get some call backs and Lincon even shows up.

How about starting with the Pilot?

Anyway, you can skip most of season 1.

-slinks back, hair a mess, and with sleeping changeling on back- I'm back from the tutoring. Went fairly well overall, though unfortunately, getting a better day did not happen.

@Kegisak: From what I understand there's something of a Broken Base over Lemongrab, split between those who think that his behavior is partially excused by his inability to empathize and his lousy upbringing, and those who see him as a dick who uses Disability as an Excuse for Jerkassery. From what I know about him, I think your take is pretty accurate. He does have a pretty tragic life and mental issues, but that doesn't absolve him of being a raging ass to pretty much everyone he interacts with.
