He's General Treister's kid specifically.

Does that make him Jake Treister himself? (Was it Jake? I haven't watched the commentary in ages.)

Also, that Atlantean-esque fishman on the boat was one of the obligatory fill-in lame supervillains at some point, right? He looked super familiar but I'm not sure from where.

The true superfan knows that the Venture Compound is outside Colorado Springs.

Isn't that from the pilot, and therefore not necessarily canon?

I've watched that episode with at least four different people, and I'm the only person who gets that line every time. For a dick joke it's pretty subtle, and one of my favorite lines that episode.

You should see if the same people get The Alchemist's "I'm very excited about this plan" when he has the minigun strapped to his chest, since I thought those two were about equally obvious.

Did anyone catch that last scene of the episode where Doctor Mrs. My Girlfriend says "I don't get it. It looks like we just blew up...."? I wonder if she was about to say 21?

Could be the thing that Hunter says next, "SPHINX", since they did that with the Hunter/21 speeches earlier?

Pete knew this because he's a computer scientist.

Well they must be at least doing sort of okay because they have a official arch-villian now from the Guild of Calamitous Intent. (I can't remember if they got one before Saint Cloud showed up).

There's no proof they're even listed as heroes, though. Saint Cloud just threw a briefcase full of money at the problem to make it disappear.

They probably wanted to know how OSI operates since Treister resigned as well. They snuck Doe and Cardholder in their before but now that Hunter's suspicious of that they're going to have to change tactics.

Did they? I thought Doe and Cardholder were Guild double agents for some reason.

The rapidly blurring line between her job and her personal life gets her all twisted up inside, which would only be made worse when Rusty apparently started sleeping around and shows up one day with two babies.

He might not have shown up with them. We know he grew clones of them starting at the same time, who's to say the originals didn't spend nine months in a tank too? In which case it'd be pretty easy for her to believe she's the mother, since not giving birth doesn't rule it out.

They were going to mutate the entire world with the shield, it's a reasonable assumption that there could be more in the future.

Then he'd have had to come to JJ, right? Or did JJ come out "first" because he would have exited his mother when Rusty was only halfway out?

The obvious winner would be 21 with "realistic battle damage" (rubbed snack on face).

I hope someone goes whole hog and does Jet Girl with realistic battle damage.

If they win, would it become canon?

Just realized that for seasons 2-4 they had incredibly epic sounding titles. "What Color is Your Cleansuit?" was an excellent episode but the titles pales a bit in comparison to "Powerless in the Face of Death," "Shadowman 9 in the Cradle of Destiny," and "Blood of the Father, Heart of Steel."

How can you list those and not Escape to the House of Mummies Part II?

It's all in the name - Mongoloid used to be a term for people with Down syndrome. (I only picked up on this tonight myself.)

Knew that, assumed it was a lovely unPC name because he beat up Asian dudes or something.

...but I bet he's actually a Maul reference, apparently?

e: also, didn't they say at comiccon that the first episode of season 6 was going to be the "real finale"?

I kept waiting for a "here's what Dean has been up to" episode because they didn't show him doing much and there were the cuts on his arms and the like but the Myra episode didn't quite do it.

Didn't we see him arm-deep in Helper at least once? I just assumed that was what the cuts were from.

If anything, I've always thought Brock was there to *keep* Rusty from becoming his father. Sort of like a really hosed up six-and-a-half-foot-tall moral compass with a really sharp point. Also, don't forget Rusty's Superego - it was basically a red-headed Jonas Sr.

I almost hope they do more with the Superego. And not just because I want to see Billy and White as Eros and Thantos again :allears:

Can you explain that one to me? And was the guy weirdly dressed in the same episode supposed to be someone we knew?

I know they namedrop him as Eon, as well as that Warm Jets joke, but I don't remember if he's shown on screen. So it's probably Brian Eno?

Speaking of jets, and thus airplanes, my girlfriend is watching VB for the first time, and it took all my restraint to not say "single engine Cessna" with the perfect timing to confuse her forever when that scene came on.

Goddammit. I just marathoned season 2 with a couple of friends who are new to the series last weekend, and decided to stream through Netflix for convenience's sake instead of use my DVDs. Apparently, though, the versions on there are edited, because that scene was missing. I thought something was wrong when the bit with Caligula fishing a key out of his rear end didn't show up, but that clinches it. Why the gently caress would they do that? It's not like they have to squeeze in more commercials or something.

Venture Bros: The bit with Caligula fishing a key out of his rear end didn't show up.

(They're edited? That's awful. I am glad I own them on DVD and haven't gotten the urge to rewatch lately, because I'd be disappointed!)

Nintendo Kid posted:

You know, we didn't actually see Gargantua 2 get destroyed. Sure the control tower went up, but the rest of the facility is intact-ish, and there was only a swarm of space rocks hitting it because of someone's evil plan. It doesn't need that shield for a while with that not going on.

Chances Rusty tries to spend an episode or two fixing up Gargantua 23?

Also I have a feeling the will specifies that Rusty doesn't get unlimited access to the company's running/funds.

Didn't the ray shield specifically get contracted to protect from asteroids? I thought that was part of the point of it, not just cosmic rays.

Of course, the whole "if you don't see 'em die, don't count 'em as dead" rule is always in play on the Venture Bros., but I have a feeling the idea here is for Vendata to be dead.

It seems like they went to a lot of trouble to set up the "Monarch's parents" plot thread, unsure if they'd just kill him off so cavalierly after that. But you have a compelling argument...
