He's taken a hugely successful Apple-esque tech company, fired most of the staff and got it producing 'God Gas', which has so far led to a bellboy being beaten to death and a memetic video of Billy trying to eat a burger on a bad trip. Rusty is absolute poison to anything he touches.

It's a real shame THINK Tank is already dead. Also, one of the vans in the parking lot looked liked it belong to Manotaur. I don't think he's coming back for it.

Pope Guilty posted:Not only has Amazon not added the new episode to my library, they're offering to sell it to me in SD for $1.99 and saying At least you have the option of buying it. I still can't find a UK provider that has season 6, and trying to buy off Microsoft's US store has left me £15 down and unable to watch it; the free previews play on the desktop Films & TV app but don't even show up on the exact same app on my Windows phone. Amazon is up to season 4 and iTunes is up to season 5. I mean I try to buy things when I can, but what options do I have here? It's nonsense.

Rusty is absolute poison to anything he touches. Rusty's forte is producing super-sciencey stuff that wouldn't be out of place if the VB universe was firmly set in a cliched and thoroughly camp 1960s Hanna-Barbera-style setting. But it's not. So not only are Doc's inventions horribly out of date, they're also horribly out of place. So is his approach to a lot of problems. He's capable of doing brilliant things, but only in the most bass-ackwardly wrong-headed ways possible. Oddly enough, he wouldn't be having so many of these problems if he was a supervillain. People expect supervillains to be outlandish and out of place. His "god gas" would fit perfectly in the hands of a supervillain, as would a lot of his other inventions. I always thought Rusty would make a far better villain than a super-scientist if it wasn't for his father's legacy and his own unwillingness to cross that Moral Event Horizon.

Rusty isn't a supervillain because he's only passively evil, not through deliberate choice. Look at The Monarch, who's the most authentic supervillain in the show and lives and breathes true hatred of Rusty through his every action and then Rusty himself, who's just looking to make a buck without the slightest thought of the consequences of his actions ... even if it involves the heart of an orphan or one hundred dead people

The best part of the orphan exchange is when Rusty half-assed defends his choice to use a forsaken child by making the important point that he "didn't use the whole thing."

Now that I know better he probably scummed the local morgues for younger John Does who had their bodies donated to medical research. He probably called them up like he was answering an ad on Craigslist, harassing the coroner's office to deliver it to him so he wouldn't have to make the trip himself. "12 years old, huh? Either you're pawning off Michael J. Fox or that's the ugliest dead orphan I've ever seen...but I guess it'll have to do!"

Several years back, David Hasselhoff got really drunk and his daughter filmed him trying to eat a cheeseburger without a shirt on to get him to stop drinking. There was also a video of a child who had just got knocked out at the dentist asking "is this real life?"

Yea, it was a weird mash up of two fairly forgotten internet videos. Man, RIP Think Tank. I loved his "May I go now?", and everything with him and Brock, but as was said, I was surprised there was no "the slow blade penetrates the shield". You know, last week I almost said "I bet Brock is going to learn about International Women's Day" when he ran off to Warrina's place, as I had just seen Deadpool, but felt "no they're not going to do that", and of course its another pegging joke.

I'm actually kinda glad maybe Brock found someone to settle with. I did feel like that there was gonna be something happening when he was banging Headshot's girlfriend (either he finds out or it just goes nowhere, which it probably did). I do want more of the avengers though or at least more Nathan Fillon Spider man.

I just realize Clancy Brown's character is next to arching Dr. Venture. I went back to rewatch the episode (because it was that drat good) and I paused when Gary flipped his laptop up and yeah he's right next to Think Tank. Wonder how he'll fall into the Crash Pit.

I was kind of disappointed with Think Tank. I think the cleverness of his character only worked in the season trailer. Just seeing him enter and say "I am think tank" was so hilarious in the trailer. Unfortunately it doesn't work when they build up with him being a professor and revealing the think tank before he shows up to arch Rusty.

This season has been so loving good and I am already sad that there are only a few weeks left. Soo many callbacks and references this season it has been unreal and good lord has it been funny as hell. Gonna have to give this week's shirt to my sister, though, don't know how I feel wearing that.

They recorded some things in New York so that probably qualifies them for whatever credit they got from New York. I think Archer gets the same thing for being made in Georgia.
