Ep 26. Gold Stars

Finn, Jake and Princess Bubblegum are shown in a classroom where Finn is seen asking to be given more difficult assignments by the princess. The princess, in response, hands him a more advanced curriculum that Finn seems to enjoy working with. In the meantime, Jake is seen playing around with some golden stars and trying to show off his skills to his friends.

The storyline then shows Finn developing a bit of an obsession with earning stars, in his new advanced curriculum, and trying to convince his friends to take part in his plan to earn as many stars as possible. While initially reluctant, Jake eventually becomes convinced to support Finn's plan after he sees the value that his friend places on gold stars. Finn and Jake then begin to go on several escapades to earn as many stars as they can.

Their adventures take them to different parts of the kingdom where they are seen fighting monsters, solving puzzles, and generally engaging in all sorts of mischief. Through all of this, Finn remains focused on his goal of earning stars, which Jake is happy to support. However, their quest is cut short when Princess Bubblegum realizes that Finn is becoming too obsessed with earning stars and that his need to accumulate them has become a problem.

The princess then tries to intervene by assigning Finn more challenging tasks which unfortunately only reinforces his obsession with earning stars. Jake then steps in and reminds Finn that he is forgetting the true meaning of adventure and that he should not be focused solely on earning stars. Finn is then seen coming back to his senses and realizes that his friends are more important than any gold stars he could ever earn.

The storyline concludes with Finn acknowledging that he still enjoys adventure, but that he needs to refocus his efforts on enjoying the experience rather than simply collecting gold stars. This is an important lesson that Finn learns as he realizes that one can easily lose oneself in the pursuit of a goal and that it's critical to remember why one started the journey in the first place.

The episode is a fitting finale to season 6 of the show Adventure Time. It is an interesting exploration of the human psyche, highlighting the dangers of obsession and the importance of staying true to oneself. The show's animation is vibrant and exciting, and the voice actors are able to bring their characters to life in a way that is engaging and entertaining. Overall, Gold Stars is an excellent episode that will leave viewers feeling both entertained and enlightened.
