great stuff. i am really looking forward to the new season, looks like there will be a lot of good stuff. i hope to see some more king gorilla.
did anyone else think hank and dean were clones? they eluded to it a couple of times in season 1, so i was kinda thinking that theyd be back this season.

Thanks for posting the link. Love that show. King Gorilla was hilarious.
I wish they hadn't done that entire clone element of the story. For me, it ruins the boys as characters. Whenever I watch them now, I'll be thinking that they're just clones who can be killed at any time. All just so they could shock us with the ending of season 1. I would even have preferred Morpheus finding their souls and reviving them over the whole clone thing.

This episode was mostly the setup for this season, and it's got me pretty excited.
I didn't expect that the boys had been killed 13 times already, but it's been hinted at that they were atleast genetically engineered in the episode with testicular torsion. Nice to see the learning boxes meant something I guess, and I found the death scenes humorous, especially the gas leak one.

VB is big enough to have its own thread. If we can have specific threads for Lost and 24, then so be it for VB.
Besides, who thought it was a good idea to have 1 thread for an entire network of shows? With that line of reasoning, we should just have 1 thread per board, with titles like "Xbox 360 game thread".

Is there a dedicated Fox show thread? Why would there be when they have all kinds of different shows for people to watch, though Adult Swim has the generally same type of shows, comedy shows, so discussion of those shows has always been there. It's sort of like the Fighting Game Thread, all the included topics have a similar theme, so there's no need to split them apart any further.
Someone creates a thread like that so that people interested in Adult Swim shows like Venture Brothers can have a place to discuss the new episodes and other Adult Swim topics neatly. ;)

It wasn't as funny as i expected it to be, still pretty funny but it wasn't as laugh out loud funny as last season. Then again it was mostly setup for the rest of the season, lots of things going on at once, too many maybe.
Throwing in people like the henchmen could've waited a bit and Jonus Jr seems like a really tacked on character to me but what the hell, it's the Venture Bros, pretty damn funny no matter what they do almost. I still look forward to this season though, should be hilarious.

i thought it was pretty funny. it realy was just setting up the rest of the season. the henchmen thing might be pretty funny, seinfeld with a unibrow, ha!
i hope jonus makes some more apperances, and im wondering if the monarch will be teaming up with the ventures in anyway, i mean he is kinda going after the guild (or phantom limb at least).

My only minor qualm is
I don't like where they're going with Brock and Phantom Limb, especially after episode two. I don't want to see Brock go over to the dark side. I'm hoping they don't go down that route.
But yeah, everything else was fantastically written.

epobirs
08-14-2006, 06:53 AM
I'm not worried about Brock. Guild types, except Dr. Girlfriend possibly, and others like Molotov Cocktease don't understand his dedication to his adopted family. He's referred to the Ventures as his family repeatedly this season and the episode with Mol subbing for him had him showing considerable affection for the boys in a way Mol found incomprehensible. (Although the Venture boys aren't the first time he's cared for children, as he recalled babysitting the agent who supervised his assessment test to renew his spy credentials.)
I'm still of the belief neither of the boys is the child of Dr. Venture. It is possible for a woman to be impregnated by two men to produce twins. Previously I suspected Dean was at least Dr. Venture's, while Hank was the result of Brock's intercourse with the same woman. But Jonas Jr. introduces a new complication. This last episode shows him suggesting he was conscious of Sally Impossible's magic moment with Rusty. Considering how much more robust a sexual athlete JJ has proven in his short time as an independent being, is it possible he is really Rocket Impossible's father, and further back, Dean's father?
Hank's blond hair is a bit of a clue here. We don't know anything of the supposed woman who birthed the boys, nor Rusty and JJ's mother, so there may be blondes in the family. But the one blond of the appropriate age we do know about is Brock. Will Hank have a massive growth spurt and bulk up if he ever manages to survive being sixteen? Or does he take after his mysterious mother more than Brock?
Of course, it could be there is no mother. Dr. Venture or somebody else may have worked out a means of male parthenogenesis. (Not trivial since males lack a complete genome to work with, unlike females.) Dean could be a clone of Rusty or even Jonas Sr. By the same note, Brock's DNA may have been mixed with Rusty's to produce an offspring of the two of them, making for a very uncomfortable situation that neither Rusty or Brock will ever divulge if it can be avoided.
It's possible, despite what he believes, Dr. Venture is still a virgin and unfairly mocking Billy.

The Monarch is always good for a classic line or two:

"I'm in the bathroom. You've gotta get in here! It smells like, like gunpowered-throwup-poo-poo-eggs!"

The final fictional fight in the western cartoon era that is worth watching. It will be remembered threwout comic and non comic history. So who do you think is going to win. I think Dr. Girlfreind is going die and Dr. Venture is going to confess his love for her, and just maybe somebody is going to turn homosexaul or is going show up who is a homosexaul. Maybe the return of Brocks mentor or even Mrs. Venture. Then Sargent Hate is going to realise that they did stole his hovering stuff while Dean might do something incredibley right to the Monarks hover craft. Oh and team DAD is going to come in and shake up things.

What do you mean? The new season started back in June and just now ended. That's a good amount of episodes for the season. Actually I think the first season didn't have as many episodes as this season, it felt like the first season was just getting good when it ended. I wonder if we'll see another christmas special this year though.

Well, I'm going throw up some spoiler text...
Was it just me, or was the whole Dean illusion subplot just...unneeded. It was the only thing that seemed to throw off the pacing of the show. It was they wanted to do two things: 1. Show how much Hank wanted to go and fight and 2. Explain why the engines went out in the cocoon. It just seemed to be such a waste of his character.
But, being a huge Bowie fan, I loved all the references they threw in there. (But now I feel old considering I know who Iggy and Klaus are - by the way, did they ever explain why Klaus was alive?)
Otherwise, a fun episode, down to the henchmen being able to fly and never knew it.
As far as what Dr GF said, has it ocurred to anyone that she may have said that she loves Rusty?
evilmax17

Spoiler 1 - fully agreed.
I was kind of disappointed at who the Soverign turned out to be. It doesn't seem like it would lend itself well to future storylines. I read plot summaries before watching the last 2 eps, and was really hoping for
Jonas Sr.

Well, time to throw up a big spoiler response:
In the first season, she did defend Rusty and told Monarch that the two of them were a lot alike. I'm not doubting she loves Monarch, but he is too obsessed with Rusty. (I mean, how thrilled would you be if, on your wedding day, "the one that got away" comes into your room hitting on you - especially when you deceived that one? That can't be a comfortable situation...)
My theory is that she knows that Rusty loves her, and doesn't see her as Number Two, as she accused Monarch of treating her as. To her, she may see Rusty as a sweet guy that is not obessed with a disinterested archenemy, and would treat her as an equal.
Plus, how great would it be to see Brock's reaction, since she is the only woman he's turned down? ;)
I know a lot of people think that she's pregnant (especially since Monarch noted that her breasts seem bigger), but that is still too obvious for me, and this show is not known for going for the obvious...more or less. And Jackson Publick has stated that she is not a post-op, we can rule out the whole "I used to be a man" idea.
Yeah, this is going to be a long wait - I can't wait to see the theories that are even stranger than mine!
