Watching Viva los Muertos and it seems Doc outdid his dad in the reanimation department with Venturestein. Dude gets socialized, enjoys some prostitutes, ends up leading a nation. Much better outcome then just tossed in a dumpster for any antagonist to find.

Currently the most successful of the current generation of Ventures

The decision to shift Brock away from an implacable murder monster into a competent-but-meatheaded agent is a sad side-effect of Patrick Warburton no longer being a major part of this show.

FTFY.

On that note, it sucks that Dermott is back. We need to get Dean scream-crying and Brock shoving peoples' heads up their own assholes again stat, not more people played by the show's writers 'answering questions' about the random bullshit Doc and Jackson came up with ten years ago because they thought it was funny then (and it generally was!). Let the jokes be jokes. Then maybe they can make more jokes instead of doing the saddest form of fanservice: spending entire episodes filling in blanks that nerds brought up on the Internet.

JJ would probably get that title when he was alive. Man, rewatching All This and Gargantua-2 after the Morphic Trilogy, it's impressive how alike yet different those two were. Same genius, some of the same character flaws (arrogance notably) and a death in space, but JJ got to say goodbye to Rusty and share a last Team Venture moment with him, he refused the super-hero/super-spy game and he had a rather stable family unit around him. Impressive for a man who was technically only two years old when he died!

Also the model for Copy Cat was in that episode!

Okay, thanks for those explanations.

They've also apparently referenced Homestuck with the Iron Infidels thing? Probably a double-reference to the Sun King's Dragoons, who specialized in the hunting and forced abjuration of Protestants?

I wonder why Dean started a conversation with Sheila? He's so sick of the Monarch, I would have thought that he would want to stay away from her.

Uh, it was just revealed in the flashback between Jonas and Fitzcarraldo that Jonas bragged about having no problems with his fertility.

Not to mention at least Dr. Mrs. The Monarch realizing that Jonas may be her husband's father.

Jonas was saying his science is quite potent. That could be him saying he's very fertile, or just him saying something that convinces BM to send his wife over so Jonas can try to gently caress her.

Because she's smart and competent and he probably thought she might have good advice on his situation (which she did).

He doesn't want lunatics in costumes bursting into his classroom when he's trying to study, but if one of the few lunatics in his life who's intelligent and relatively down to earth is mingling at a social gathering then hey might as well make some small talk, gotta take guidance where you can get it when your dad is Rusty Venture.

Rhys Darby. No idea who he is, but Reddit's been calling him a treasure on their thread, so I'm assuming some folk know him. They keep mentionning someone called "Murray" in relation to him.

Rhys Darby is from Flight of the Conchords (the manager), what we do in the shadows(we're werewolves not swearwolves) and the jumanji remake(where he played the NPC game guide, Nigel).

He is a complete treasure, and always one of the best things in anything he's in.

Dermott commented that the OSI-issued bras are super-complicated. When you get a look at Agent Kimberly McManus without her shirt, take a gander at the bra. I see something that looks like a fastener (a fastener, as it wouldn't surprise me if this bra had 7 more of them) on either the left or right side, on one of the lower straps toward the front. I can see why Dermott says that the Guild dude needs to just accept that he's done as much 2nd base stuff as he can do, leave well enough alone, and just move on.

I wonder how Dermott knows that, though. (Probably from peeping, I guess. I'm not sure he has gotten to 1st base with any OSI agents who wear bras.)

He may have simply browsed through the catalogue and read the description of that one in particular? Like, I don't think it necessarily involves peeping.

I would say "But c'mon, man, it's Dermott, of course he peeped!", but I can actually see how he would browse the bra section of the OSI official outfitter catalogue. For research purposes, that is. So that when his chance inevitably came, he'd know how to get... to second base.
