I am Reverend posted:Yeah, I don't get the general dislike of Spanakopita either. The Clash of the Titans dream, Team Venture vs. L. Ron Hubbard and the way it explores Doc's psyche make it a contender for my favorite episode ever. There were lots of excellent individual bits (the Brock Juniors, Brock giving advice to Hatred, Pete White catching fire, everything else that's been mentioned), but I'm guessing people dislike it because it didn't feel like it was set in the world of super-science. At least, that's why I don't immediately think "that was a great episode". Once I start watching it, it's great, but before that it just doesn't "feel" like a great episode.

Cloks posted:I thought those were tongue in cheek jokes - "Headshot" because he's a sniper and it's a parody of the GI Joe job-title as name characters and "Conjectural Technologies" because the two members haven't ever really produced anything, they just have ideas that don't really go anywhere. They're both jokes and actual good names at the same time.

He and Al know Doc's shameful secret, their spell is the reason Hank needed the memory-wipe in the first place! Maybe he's startled by the thought that he has to explain the history to Dermott.

JethroMcB posted:Jackson and Doc did an enlightening walkthrough of Season 5 for the AV Club. Not as in-depth or as focused as a lot of the other AV Club showrunner chats, but they do explain why the ending felt so abrupt and the broader themes of the season. Plus there's lots of fun stuff like: That was a fantastic article. I loved the parts where they talk about their general philosophies of writing and characters and so on, without even getting deep into the specifics of the show. It's especially nice that they're not sticking to the "show about failure" notion. I could read that for ages.

I think Rusty's whole mental situation was summed up perfectly by 21 in the season 1-4 recap. "Doc Venture used to be one of those kid adventurers on a TV show, and it totally messed him up." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6CHVLSY_Hrk If his father hadn't dragged him into all that crazy poo poo, he might be a (relatively) normal super-scientist.

revolther posted:Honestly though, that whole montage of Brock chasing down Rusty and the scene where he drags him out of the rave, it all just spewed "show don't tell"(hurr) style insights into Rusty and is still so memorable. After a first season where the show could have easily been written off as "Oh it's a just Johnny Quest parody", it came back strong. For me, the weird part is looking at it from after having watched the episode and realizing that Doc is running away from his life in general, not because of any grief over Hank and Dean. (Doc Orpheus is still completely awesome, even in retrospect. )

BIG HEADLINE posted: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. Brock was there to keep an eye on the Orb.

NeoSeeker posted:I do remember a scene where she's trying to get her dad's attention and he knocks her out and makes her forget. He had more pressing matters. But I think this tiny scene is him wiping her memory of what happened. I just don't remember the chronology (If it happened after season 1 then it's possible). Or if she was freaking out or just trying to tell him something. It was when she caught the Order of the Triad coming out of her bedroom after Orpheus had visited the Master. "The Better Man", I think. Although the more I think about it, the less sure I am about the specific episode. Pretty sure it was after Orpheus came out of her closet, though. Edit: It was in "Escape to the House of Mummies Part II". It's at about 1:16: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5kXiVSYmC0g prefect fucked around with this message at 13:00 on May 3, 2014 |

AFewBricksShy posted:Despite all of the fantastic episodes that have come out since, that episode is still my favorite. It's a fantastic stand alone episode, but also introduces the pirate captain, Action Man and Kano. Plus it's probably the best Johnny Quest parody of all of the episodes as well. It also includes one of my favorite scenes of Brockian destruction, starting when he grabs the guy's hand with his rear end, and ending when you see the top of his head as he swims away from the burning pirate ship.

twistedmentat posted:Watching the one with Molotov from season 5, in hind sight you can tell what was going on. Its pretty obvious that she was being used as a tool to purge part of the OSI as she makes sure that Shoreleave is out of the way before killing Tank Top and the rest of the new recruits. Even when Shoreleave attacks her, she just knocks him out and runs off. Shuttlecock (the astronaut with the badminton racquet) is still the greatest character ever to appear. Even better than Tank Top.

Stephen Colbert may not have anyone to put words in his mouth right now, but that doesn't he has time for your rinky-dink cartoon show: Venture Bros. creator Jackson Publick has caused a minor stir on some of the geekier blogs out there (hey, like this one!) with the news that Colbert has declined to reprise his voiceover role as" Professor Impossible" in the show's upcoming season. Although he noted that he expected this to happen "for reasons which probably have something to do with him being all super-famous, super-busy, and no longer in need of a few hundred bucks here and there," Publick says that the final brush-off was the unkindest cut of all: an email he received from one of Colbert's many assistants saying, "Stephen has neither the time nor the interest in participating in your project." On his own blog, Publick responded, "Was the 'nor the interest' really necessary? I would have bought the 'time' part without question, but man…you gotta kick a guy when he's down like that? Well maybe I'm not interested in your ice cream, mister!" ... http://www.avclub.com/article/iventure-brosi-vs-stephen-colbert-10098
