The episode that heavily insults John F. Kennedy and Pokemon and it has nothing to do with croak dreams.

The New Frontier is the 18th episode of Season 3 and the 70th episode episode overall of Adventure Time.
Plot
Jake wonders if the prophetic croak dream is real. However, Finn is concerned about it.
New Filler Qualities
- The whole episode is 90% filler due to the Croak dream not being the focus of this episode, but rather it is mentioned.
- Misleading Title Card: The Cosmic Owl appears in the title card, hinting that it appears as a major role, but it is seen for 2-3 seconds and never appears again, which is disappointing.
- Major Nitpick: Speaking of the plot, it focuses on Banana Man rather than the croak dream.
- Plot Holes:
- If Jake mentions the croak dream, he could have gone there instead.
- Jake attempts to eat an ice cream pizza-like sandwich, but he refuses and places it on BMO's head. The latter would have destroyed his circuits when placing the melted ice cream instead of surviving.
- Instead of stalking by using bow and arrows, Finn and Jake could have simply knocked on the door and greeted them.
- Using dynamites for rockets can potentially explode rather than launch it, which happens in the third act.
- Croak dream being mentioned is somewhat nonsensical and annoying.
- The Banana Man is rather pointless since what he did is to build a rocket with dynamites, does aerobics, and that's it.
- BMO is also pointless in this episode.
- Finn using a flaming bow to call attention to the Banana Man is dangerous in real life, though it gets backfired by reflecting it.
- To be fair, if he uses a flaming bow to kill Banana Man without a glass helmet, he could die.
- This episode provides epileptic seizures, thus making the viewers' eyes hurt when watching it:
- The Cosmic Owl screeching in the opening scene.
- The dynamites explode causing the screen to flash with red, orange, yellow, and white colors. This includes a slow-motion scene where the glass breaks and Finn makes a grotesque face during it.
- The pointless ending scene with multi-colored rainbow backgrounds and Banana Man dancing frantically.
- Stupid Ending: After Jake saves Finn's life in the underwater caverns, the latter chases the former while the Banana Man knocks himself unconscious, showing that he is ungrateful to poor Jake.
- As mentioned before, Banana Man dancing with flashing rainbow backgrounds after this scene is rather pointless.
- It could have been better to include the Cosmic Owl making a speech to Jake about the croak dream being fulfilled to signify the main plot.
- Overall, this episode feels like a boring random plot shoving the main plot rather than a legit episode, thus making it a huge wasted potential of an otherwise good show.
Good Qualities
- The opening scene and the scene where Jake attempts to save Finn at least show the actual plot rather than the side plot.
- Finn and Jake are likable characters.
- The title card looks good.
