Lantern7 August 15, 2014 Share August 15, 2014 Nice flashback episode to when Jake was born. Turns out his folks were supernatural detectives, and Jake might have been born out of Joshua's head thanks to a monster bite, while brother Jermaine was born from his mother. It's also the only time I can compare Jake to the mythos of Athena. And Jake's all, "And my parents never told me about it," which . . . for this show? Par for the course. Link to comment
halgia August 15, 2014 Share August 15, 2014 http://i.imgur.com/ioJyyrT.jpg Have we met Jermaine before? (Apparently yes, but barely.) And I guess that means neither Jake or Finn has any biological relation to Mom! Maybe that's why Dad has been more important in the show so far. :) 1 Link to comment
theatremouse August 16, 2014 Share August 16, 2014 I especially enjoyed that it ended up being Joshua's hat's origin story. 2 Link to comment
Ubiquitous August 18, 2014 Share August 18, 2014 So that's why Jake's a magic talking dog! I wonder what that creature was and where it went? Link to comment
Lantern7 August 18, 2014 Author Share August 18, 2014 Well, Joshua and Margaret could talk. And from what I've heard, Jake's powers came from a magic mud puddle . . . though I'm guessing we just got a retcon for that. Link to comment
Ubiquitous August 18, 2014 Share August 18, 2014 Remember, his parents didn't tell Jake he was born from his father's head. They had to make someting up. Link to comment

I do wonder where they're going with this. Link to comment
Maximum Taco August 22, 2014 Share August 22, 2014 (edited) Well, Joshua and Margaret could talk. And from what I've heard, Jake's powers came from a magic mud puddle . . . though I'm guessing we just got a retcon for that. Even before this episode Pen Ward had said that Jake did not get his powers from a mud puddle, he just couldn't remember how he got his powers and came up with a random memory. Also the fact that some of Jake's pups (Kim Kil Whan and Jake Jr) also have his stretchy powers indicated a genetic source over the magic mud story. Although I guess it would've been possible for the mud to have mutated Jake and then he passed on the mutation to the pups. Edited August 22, 2014 by Maximum Taco Link to comment
Ubiquitous August 24, 2014 Share August 24, 2014 I think Jake being born from a head-wound inflicted by a shape-shifting monster is the reason. Link to comment
