I thought the episode was nice. Given that the show ran on Negative Continuity, I can't find any meaning in how things played out, and I know they're likely to ignore it if ATHF ever gets revisited.
Given that it's one of AS's most iconic and long-running shows, it is a bit sad to think that it's finally over. But to be honest, I don't think the show had been consistently good for a very long time, and I don't blame Mike Lazzo for thinking that it was time to put it to rest.
I'm surprised it only got eight episodes, though. Last season had ten episodes. Even accounting for the last episode getting a standard half-hour length, that's still one episode less.
It certainly has been a year of endings for Adult Swim, isn't it? Aqua Teen Hunger Force ended, The Boondocks completed its final season, the execs passed on a fifth season of Metalocalypse. I don't think Adult Swim is ever going to feel the same.
The end of this is so darkly hilarious and so the epitome of this show.
Fun fact, the voice of Willie Nelson is also the voice of Greg from Steven Universe.

So, the show is getting a DVD movie.

A sequel's been in Development Hell since the show was still on, it takes the 20th anniversary for it to come out!
Even after six years of being canned, dancing is still forbidden. But getting our first look
at AquaDonk Side Pieces isn't.

Oh look, Carl actually wearing something besides his usual tank top and sweatpants.
According to the Adult Swim Festival
, the upcoming special is called Aqua Teen Forever: Phantasm. It's expected to debut in the Fall.
Necro-Bump!
Aqua Teen won't never be canceled!
Aqua Teen won't be dismantled!

Yep, America's Favorite Fast-Food-based, most-polar-opposite-ist, detectives-who-don't-actually-do-any-detective-stuff trio plus their cantankerous, overweight neighbor are coming back for a five-episode long 12th season!

Gentlemen, BEHOLD!
The first look at season 12 of ATHF!
And if anyone is asking "why only 5 episodes?" It's because
it came out of the production pipeline set up by the Plantasm movie and they're testing the waters on making more.
