Also to note that was missing in the tweets, like as they did with the pilot episode, the series finale will be aired on repeat for 24 hours.

Beaks In The Shell!
This was a good episode to comeback to, we are setting things up for the end. This the Huey season, about time the show remembered that. I think in the end, Huey is going to be the one to talk Bradford down. But that is an conversation for another day.
If this the last we see of Beaks, this is a good sent off for him. He might appear in the trial episode, but I don't know, he doesn't care enough about Scrooge to be involved there, He is not a Scrooge enemy, he is a Gyzmoduck enemy. He doesn't have any real animosity towards Scrooge like the other villains. Besides we know it is not Scrooge's fault for his villany, it is his parents fault, we meet his mother, and he did say something about this father in another episode. He just wants parental approval.
The virtual storyline did have a very anime type to it, I wish Fenton and Gandra had a fairy child, that is all that is messing.
I am glad to see Gandra and Officer Cabrera meet and bond. They both love Fenton that is what matters. I was disappointing in the end, I wanted Gandra to be a double agent, and maybe gets capture early on in the finale. Anyway Fenton does have stakes now in the finale. I doubt we have time for this, I love to see him and Dawkwing team up to find her, and maybe Drake can find out his identity.
Also Gandra getting captured, this is a repeat of "The Other Bin Of Scrooge McDuck"", just when we get someone who is morally gray and about to become full on good guy, they captured. Granted it is different, that was mentally and spiritually capture, this is literal physical capture. And everyone knew she was a Fowl agent, Fenton is not going to have that heart break reveal moment that Webby had and went really intense. Though when he finds out, he is going to be mad. It is different enough, but still same formula.
Lastly, Huey is Fenton's best friend? Well Launchpad is Dewey's best friend, who is Louie's best adult friend. Goldie?

The Lost Cargo of Kit Cloudkicker!
I don't know what to make of this episode. Nothing really blow my mind, but nothing offended me. Well it was a Dewey episode, and he is my least favorite of the 4 kids.
Some of the time line doesn't compute, the way they play out how long the opening scene happens, should that have been Baloo?
Kit being Baloo 2.0 is a major disappointment for me. Isn't the next generation suppose to learn from the previous generation and be better than them? He can learn from Baloo, and look to follow in his footsteps, but also learn from his mistakes. If anything he is worse, Baloo would still fly normally if needed if I remember correctly.
The star of this episode is by far Della. Bering the responsible adult when need be, and still be awesome. I wish we got to see flashbacks of young Della and Kit in flight school.
I am not sure if Huey was necessary, Della could have filled out everything Huey did in this episode.
So does Molly know how to fly a plane. If Kit what he is best at is cloud surfing, who is going to fly the plane?
And have we seen the last of Don Karnage, is he going to be in the finale? If not, what a loose end.

Della specifically refers to Molly as a great pilot when she and the boys first meet Kit. "Von Bruinwald", huh? Is that some kind of obscure bit of canon or did the Ducktales team just make that up? I could swear in the original series Baloo's surname was "Bear". Oh, and Peg Leg Meg is a treasure and deserves her own spin-off.

I think it is a reference to the Talespin episode "The Balooest Of The Bluebloods" where Baloo was revealed to be a descendant of nobility who were named "Von Bruinwald".

The Life and Crimes of Scrooge McDuck!
Took a while to gather my thoughts for this one. So this might be a short review. It was alright, I wasn't expecting much, this is the last episode before the finale, so I am sure they are saving their big bullets for that. Scrooge on trial, that has been done before. But not with our Louie as his lawyer. Let's face it, with no family to keep him grounded, Scrooge was kind of a jerk, but than again so were these villains.
Glomgold's story a little far fetch, we knew since childhood he had some screw loose, so if Scrooge had gotten in his way, he would eventually do something crazy anyway. If Scrooge didn't exist, he would find someone else to be obsessed with and try to destroy.
Same with the Beagles, they were always horrible, but there is hope with that one Beagle who was on Santa's good list. I know it is a different voice actress, but young Ma Beagle sounded a little like Tilly from Big City Green.
Magica story was the most interesting to me, and there is weight that had Scrooge acted different and was a better person at the time, maybe things could be different. Magica was evil long before she meet Scrooge, also interesting that Scrooge and Louie don't know about Phantom Blot and how she created him. That could have counter defense. Anyway I do think this was a fork in Magica's life that if Scrooge had morals at the time, could have taught Magica a life changing lesson. What happened to Poe, is what they have done to the villagers, Magica getting a taste of her medicine, if we got her to realize that, maybe she could have changed for the better. The fact she legit cared about her brother, something we don't see from the other villains especially the Beagles, showed some character depth.
And Louie does make peace with Doofus, I don't know how much you can trust him, but I guess he is owed a benefit of the doubt. I am not sure if Scrooge learned anything, but a fun episode.

So I mostly get my Ducktales info from Seaniccus, a YouTuber whose work I really enjoy, and he sort of pitched the idea that this would have been a story arc that could have happened leading to {Spoiler}Scrooge trying to cope with his actions and the loss of his fortune the family getting Scrooge's fortune back for the finale rather than where we are right now with F.O.W.L. and that this info was found out half way through production. Did you get the sense of that from your watch of it? Just from someone who does the reviews on here, I mean.

Ok, this sounds like gold and I'm pretty much going to listen to every episode.
EDIT: It's basically an in-canon podcast hosted by Huey that starts next week where he goes into different aspects of Duckburg life and it sounds like a lot of fun.

I've seen bits and pieces on YouTube already since I don't have Disney XD (and I don't control the internet at my set up so I can't get the app to work) so I'll just have one minor spoiler without context. {Spoiler}At one point in the episode, you can hear the theme to Gargoyles.

The show ends with Huey, Dewey and Louie going to X Middle School and running into Fillmore and Ingrid. Gosalyn's attempts to find her grandfather sees her open a portal to the Kingdom of Udrogoth. Launchpad regains his hyper intelligence to become a spy, mentoring Kim Possible along the way. What I'm saying, is that we need more early 2000's Disney show references/cameos as well.

The final scene will see the Duck family get a destress call from a team of hockey playing ducks from a distant galaxy whom need help with the evil alien overlord that has besieged their hockey themed planet, and as the family races off into outer space they exclaim in a loud cry: DUCKS ROCK!

The finale {Spoiler} The Last Adventure
Well I thought this was a good finale. Was is it perfect, no, but I knew going in that there are going to be stuff I don't like as much. Do I have nip picks yes, but I am not going to harp on them.
The whole Webby is Scrooge's clone, you know what that is fine. I wasn't expect it, I give it that, though I don't think she needed that to be part of the family. She is a Scrooge descendant, so that meant Donald, Della, HDL, non of them could have opened the box, heck why couldn't May and June. Anyway is it because Donald, Della, HDL, they are not desendent of Scrooge, but descendant of Hortense. Am I overthinking it, perhaps
Well this does mean any Webby x triplet ships are dead. As a big Webby x Lena shipper, I am cool with that. That is a big win for me.
How close did Bradford to winning, close. I do think the loop hole should have been the fact that Bradford tried to kill Donald, thus he didn't keep his end of the bargain, contract non in void, problem solved.
I do wish Huey got a little more to do, I am pleasant surprise the kids friends got more screen time they I thought they would.
I do find it annoying that no mater what, Drake is never going to know that Fenton is Gizmoduck. He is so dense.
I do like it that Donald want to adopt May and June, they are as much Scrooge's daughter as Webby is, it is awkwardly weird, but I always wanted Donald to have daughters, I get my wish. I do wish Daisy was there at the end, why couldn't Bradford capture her too like he did everyone, and thus Daisy could bond with the two girls. In closing, it was a great finale, it wasn't perfect, but what finale is?
