He's better off that way, thanks to cloning if he's like Dean then his genetic pool is more of a genetic septic tank.

Zapping Dean's Ulcer, because of course Dean has an Ulcer, made sense, but I think they missed a good chance to call back to his cloning by having them fix some weird clone-related health issue, though then again that's a complicated idea to get across quickly.

Have they referenced Kraftwerk before? Because of course they like kraftwerk.

Also Scaramantula and Dr. Venture think Blue Morphos is a villain, classic Green Hornet. Was that Kano? He must be the weird uncle, to like, everyone.

Edit: Watched again, he says Kano

The Master was lying his rear end off when he made those claims(specifically to get Triana to go and make use of her magical potential), as confirmed in the Halloween episode when that guy who helped Rusty create the clones mentioned that the only issue Dean had was a heightened chance for astigmatism

Alright, that's enough foreplay. They gotta get to this plot of the Monarch killing all the villains in front of him on the Guild's list. Gonna be so awesome.

One thing I like is that the animation/texture on Wide Wale's outfit uses the classic "fill in this area with one non-moving texture" method that I remember from old cartoons where people were wearing striped or checkered shirts/slacks.
Like Stan in the Monkey Island games?

So are they planing to give Dean the final swear of the season again? Because this was classic, season 4-era, Butt Monkey!Dean shenanigans with the grey goo. Are they implying at the end that Dean may still have some of the nanobots in his brain despite the purging?

Another show that does that was Chowder, which used that technique extensively

Also I think Rusty was lying about the nanites being purged out at all

I didn't notice that. Might be because it's striped and generally that technique is used for more complex patterns like the aforementioned checkered patterns or ones like paisley or plaid.

I think you're right. The body image on the monitor showed a few glowing dots in the brain. I'm guessing Doc left a few nanites in Dean's noggin to give him the extra edge in his application.

I thought they mind controlled Dean during the entrance exam so they could take it for him. Hence the SAT prep books next to Doc at the end.

Did they linger on Copycat's cufflink for a reason? It's when he first talks to Dr. Mrs. Monarch and gives her his card.

I don't think Monarch's killing spree is going to be about Venture at all. It's clear that there's some sort of plot to get Dr. Mrs. The Monarch to leave him. My guess is she ends up doing just that and he goes straight up homicidal, seeing the entire Guild as his enemy, even more so than Venture.

I could also see the Guild doing that pushing Gary over the edge into murder simply on the grounds of knowing the Guild manipulated Sheila into leaving his only friend (and boss).

I kind of hope I'm wrong, though...because it would be as serious as this show's ever gotten.

Yeah the fact that Wide Whale appeared to know what the Monarch was doing at VenTech without the telescope was pretty immediately suspicious.

I'm glad they mentioned Vendata. Hopefully they actually bring him back. I really want our theory to be right. A great episode.

It's likely one of two things: revenge on The Monarch for killing Wale's brother or trying to depose Dr Mrs The Monarch through her husband since she's basically the brains on the current Council

I can't wait for the next 5 episodes. The Monarch finds out about copy cat and goes full Blue Morpho. Though I figure he's going to kill Copy Cat but it will really just be a copy.

Hey, isn't the name of Wide Wale's daughter spelled Sirena? With an I? An unusual spelling of the name, but one that manages to have a pun in it: siren. As in the ladies who lured sailors to their deaths.

Maybe she's doing that to Hank and/or the Ventures. Maybe on purpose, maybe not. Who knows. But that's a nice little water creature pun.
