i dont know why no one mentioned yet, but why is S1E3: Prisoners of Love not in the list? Isn't the episode that introduces Ice King and his whole deal?

Made a few checks as per the latest comments to make sure everything is correct.

  • Added first sighting of GOLB in the description of Puhoy
  • I see your point for S03E02 but the snail is tiny and it doesn't seem like there's enough story there to put it in, at least for me
  • King’s Ransom is correctly listed as S07E21
  • Lemonhope Pt.2 is already added
  • Season 7 finale is already included
  • Hm, I'm not 100% sure about the other Fionna and Cake episodes. Generally wanted to include only main story stuff in this list and it's gotten so big already. I'll think about it
  • Added S01E03 Prisoners of Love although not completely sure about it

Thanks for commenting guys ⭐

Heya. Know this is old but using this to introduce the show to a friend currently and noticed S02E20 Go With Me isn't on the list. I'd argue this is a super important one as it is the first glimpse into Marceline and PB's dynamic and also concretely rules out Marceline as a love interest of Finn's. Otherwise list is pretty spot on so far! Thanks for making it

This list is fine but i think there should be two more categories, ! which will be major parts of the series like (but not limited to): S1E1, S1E3, S5E48, S5E48, S10E13 and so on; and = which will be key parts to spinoffs like the new fionna and cake or the distant lands. 👍 (PS, its okay to have a episode have more than one key mark)

I would also second the Fionna and Cake episodes. Know its just my personal circumstance but I'm using this list to refresh myself and intro a friend to the series with the express purpose of preparing for the Fionna and Cake series, and there may be other people doing the same

If you're interested, I created a fork of this repo over on my page that includes the Fionna episodes, along with some other F&C show related ones, like "Up a Tree" (The squirrel guy is back!), all of the Cuber episodes, and the guest-animated episodes (since they all look cool and won awards)

Suggestion: Remove the asterisks on "You Made Me" and "All Your Fault" in order to provide context to the later Lemonhope episodes that are also un-asterisked. Thanks!

Honestly, these changes should be merged into this one. They're very good.

S02E20 Go With Me has significant development for Finn, PB and Marceline's dynamic.

season 6 episode 8, has APTWE not with any real backstory but weirdly has a Fiona and Cake intro to the episode, and Season 6 episode 9 is actually a Fiona and Cake episode

i personally think hall of egress (S08E24) should be slightly more important? Finn does technically go throught around a year of being blinded mentally, even if that said year never really happened and only to him? I think its pretty Finn developement

Also, Dungeon Train (S5EP36) is, in my opinion, atleast a bit important? it portrays how Finn tries to move on of Flame Princess via addiction to the dungeon train instead of coping. atleast ** important.

Gonna note The New Frontier(S3EP18) because it could be **? it shows how much Finn doesn't want Jake to die, which i note important with Fionna and Cake's Finn.
