The Boondocks season 4 episode 9, titled "Stinkmeaner: Begun The Clone War Has," is a fittingly action-packed episode for the show's final season. The episode opens with Huey Freeman receiving a phone call from his old nemesis, Colonel H. Stinkmeaner, who had been killed in a previous episode but has now been resurrected via a cloning process. Stinkmeaner has come back with a new army of clones, with the intention of overthrowing the Freemans and taking over their neighborhood.

As Huey and his family try to figure out how to stop Stinkmeaner's army, they discover that Stinkmeaner has been creating clones not just of himself, but of other deceased figures from their past, including Uncle Ruckus and Robert Freeman's long-lost love interest, Luna. This leads to some incredibly intense fight sequences, as the Freemans battle their own undead clones in order to defend their home.

While the action is certainly thrilling, what really stands out about this episode is the way it manages to address serious topics like death and grief in a way that's both poignant and hilarious. Throughout the episode, characters grapple with their own feelings of loss and confusion, while also cracking jokes and delivering some of the show's trademark biting social commentary.

One of the key themes of the episode is the idea that death is never truly the end – a sentiment that's especially relevant given the show's history of bringing back supposedly deceased characters in unexpected ways. This idea is driven home by the presence of the clones, who are physical manifestations of characters who have already passed on, but who have now been given a second chance at life.

Despite the heavy subject matter, the episode is never too heavy-handed or melodramatic. The jokes and action sequences help keep things light, while also providing a welcome distraction from the underlying sadness and grief that permeates the episode.

Ultimately, "Stinkmeaner: Begun The Clone War Has" is a fittingly epic and emotional conclusion to The Boondocks' fourth season, and a great reminder of why the show has remained such a beloved cult hit over the years. It's a reminder that even in the face of death and loss, there's always the possibility for renewal and new beginnings – and that sometimes, the best way to confront our deepest fears is with laughter and a whole lot of butt-kicking.
