And Doc once again proves that the only time he can be a competent scientist is when he's creating an abomination of some sort.

Did he?

I don't know that Rusty did much of anything besides clean out the abandoned warehouses, and enslave some interns. Martin seemed to actually develop the shield, Billy realized the mutations were happening, and Dr. Mrs. The Monarch found the scientist who could come up with an antidote. Unless we assume that Rusty actually had the formula or foundation for the science, which his interns ran with - he literally sat back and drank while everything fell apart around him.

His narcotic cocktail conveniently drove off The Monarch, and probably made all the interns think their memories of mutating were just hallucinogenic hazes.

But they said they're American Apparel, yeah? They run smaller, so a large should be ok.

They're pretty slim fitting, so order a size larger than you usually would.

Can anyone help me with Hatreds tits please? I don't understand. He didn't have them when he left to take Tinyfoot home in PROM, had them the next morning presumably after a short walk to her house.

So, I'm theorizing it's the side effect of medication:

- Possible side effect of psychiatric medication, that he started being more regular with once he thought he'd get Tinyfeet back.
- Possible side effect of steroid abuse, since he's aging, but wants to keep his job.
- Some random poo poo he got from Rusty/the Pirate/21/Billy that might be explained later.

I think they realized that the lack of any perceivable flaws allowed the legendary gringo Brock Sampson to quickly grow into something bigger than them. Like they know Brock has become something the comicon crowd equates to near Bond level unbelievable badass in such a crazy short amount of time that they have to leave it alone not to mess it up. Like they've managed to let Brock humiliate cultural male icons, best "Reed Richards" and a bunch of other one-off parodies, leave "GI Joe" for being too ineffectual; plot wise he is a golden goose we will happily accept making GBS threads on the chest of our favorite comic characters.

They've done a good job resisting the temptation to make it the Brock is Awesome masturbation hour. I imagine cartoon network wants more Brock, I enjoy his cameo's, but it's understandable that Doc and Jackson don't just want The Fonz to come say, "aye", every episode.

Not a lot of TV characters are that catalyzing, especially from a cartoon. The only other recent comparison I can think of is Nick Offerman's Ron Swanson; he knows he has something and you can tell he's trying to slowly grow it without blowing it.

That might be part of it.

My theory is that this season's theme, though, is that Dr. Venture is a ridiculous failure, and someone is going to come out of nowhere to bail him out each time - without anyone noticing. Everyone around Doc is becoming a better person, almost to make up for Rusty.

Also, it's clear that the Army rigged the iPad to blow up both Venturestein remotely, and Doc afterwards, to get rid of the evidence. Right?

The general flatout said the jpad contained explosives. That's why Hank planted it in that tree, he was trying to use it as a timebomb.

I guess I need to watch that part again.

I had thought the iPad activated a failsafe bomb inside Venturestein, that can be detonated by a signal from the pad - the cherry icon. Then Rusty just has to run like hell. I just got the impression the Army wanted the Venturestein and Venture out of the way, or, at least wanted the iPad there to take out Venturestein if (when) Rusty failed.

Nah, this is like the third time it has happened. Gary rebuilt it the first time with the people he and 24 recruited, and the moppets had the henchmen do it the second time. Cocoon rebuilding season premieres are pretty standard.

I don't think the moppets are dead, and I think they work for Phantom Limb still. I bet there will be another showdown with them in season 6.

The first time it was destroyed, it was detonated on purpose by 21 and 24. It was empty.

The second time I remember it being destroyed, it was empty, except for Dean, who was spaced out, and crashed it into ... the X-1, flown by The Triad - right? All the henchmen were fighting Phantom Limb's troops.
