I've finally gotten to season 6 of my rewatch of TAWOG, and I decided to watch "The Future" first since it was intended to be the premiere of the season.
I'm hoping this gives me a better perspective of the season & its finale, because I remember thinking that some episodes were underwhelming & strangely paced when I watched them as they aired (part of that was definitely just bitterness toward the lack of Rob content we were getting lol, but still).
"The Future" being the next Rob-centric episode after "The Ex" makes the overarching plot flow better since it continues to involve Banana Joe. I imagine Rob's focus on Banana Joe is what led him to learn about Banana Barbara's clairvoyance.
#i kinda wish i'd been able to liveblog my rewatch but that's just not how my watch schedule worked out </3#i haven't gotten to “The Spinoffs” in this rewatch just yet. so idk if it benefits from the order change too#but ya i love “The Future” and Barbara and Rob . i never had qualms with this episode rly!!!#aside from the fact that it should've been longer so we could have more content of these characters /lh#it's just a shame when production issues get in the way of the original intent . “The Future” would've been soo good as a s6 premiere#the text#the liveblog#tawog#the amazing world of gumball#rob#tawog rob#rob tawog#rob wrecker#post-void rob#idk i would have said that MAYBE Rob specifically chose to hate Joe to get closer to Barbara ??#but Rob was SOLELY interested in destroying Banana Joe#I don't think he would've tried so hard against Banana Joe if he knew about Barbara's abilities that soon#plus “The Oracle” aired before “The Nobody” . so Rob wasn't rly aware of what happened in that episode
