Loved that line.

Ogopogo.

LOL.

I loved his workout flashblack/montage.

I liked The Monarch going all hardcore on the Pupae. Some of my favorite characters right there.

Spoiler:

And then he does, of course.

I also enjoy that, despite everything, 21 is still very, very much 21.

I'm enjoying this season more than the three. Weird thing is the lack of Brock Samson. My favourite character by far and he only in one episode.

Anyone else notice how the episodes just kind of end? It's like they need an extra 10 minutes to get everything out but have to make a bunch of cuts. Everything happens so quickly in the final act, I feel like I'm missing something.

Terrific scene. I keep forgetting that other than his inability to destroy Dr. Venture, the dude is capable of killing a bunch of people on a whim. He's even willing to give a robot chlamydia. Dangerous to screw with him when he's angry.

I really like Sergeant Hatred! He rounds out the inability for the Ventures to do anything. All of a sudden, you have depend on Dr. Venture to get things done.

Was there a NEW episode this past Monday at midnight? If so my DVR fooked me...

I loved that Sgt Hatred's tattoo goes all the way down to the happy trail, obviously d is for dick.

Truly a terrifying thought.

Wait...watching it again...at the very end, a hand in a henchman glove is shown checking off 'The Venture Brothers' from 21's list. 21 THEN enters the room, waves around his magazine, and notices that 24 has moved. Nobody else is in the room.

What's going on here?

Either 24 was cloned or 21 is having a dissociative episode. Given his conversation with the skull, I'm going with the later.

It doesn't have to be 24. I do wish he will come back though.

My fear: It's Phantom Limb, readying his cold, precise revenge. Remember, no one retires from his sh*t list.

So far I'm with Reaper as PL doesn't have bare hands you can see (and has one hell of a torso you can!) but I'm game for whatever rolls down the tunnel. Also the creators have said 24 is dead, but that rule is broken all the time.

Also I loved 21's reaction to 'the car accident'.

Following his dismemberment, Professor Hamilton J. Fantamos has been forced to use a bionic arm, and has been known to wear gloves for the purposes of disguise. Then again, I was dead wrong about 21 being the new bodyguard.

I hate the new AS Vid player, I can't seem to choose to watch just the last chapter of the episode so I could see if there was a glove on the hand.

Ah there was a glove, go fig.

I eventually noticed the Fast Forward in the controls, but I agree, the new player sucks.

But, yeah, the hand appears to be a Henchman's glove. Limb infiltrating the Henchmen?...Is Limb responsible for 24's death!? Oh. My. God!

I just waited until the chapter finished caching and then moved the cursor to the end. I had to sit through the ads, not sure if your method would have saved time or not.

That. Was. AWESOME!

Publick says it's his favorite Hammer episode of the first eight. I'll be watching it tomorrow when it gets up on AS.

Am I the only one feeling a bit disappointed with the new season? It's like in the first three seasons they set up this great Johnny Quest parody, and now they seem to feel obligated to keep all the random loose threads going. None of the characters are who they used to be anymore. The humor seems more heavy-handed. And we get it, Hatred is a gay pedophile, it's not that funny. I do like Dean's "super-scientist" trips, though.

I understand that sometimes a show turns into a different show after a few seasons. I guess I just liked the old show better. That's not to say anyone's wrong for liking the new one.

Then again, maybe I'm just being negative. That's sort of my job around here.

Nail, Head. Actually, the show has changed, that's true. I prefer my shows to develop rather than stay static, but not everyone feels that way. It's Always Sunny has the same sort of thing going on--you'd never mistake the low level misanthropy of S1 Sunny for the insane depravity of S5 Sunny. Still damn funny though.

That Lady Nightshade was built like a brick sh*thouse!

I kind of feel the same way. I like where the show has gone but it certainly is different. I do wish it'd go back to its roots more often or at least focus less on some characters. That last bit is more of a criticism of season 3 than the current season.

It is changing a bit but at the same time I would rather them move forward than have it be a family ties/full house situation where even "special episodes" have no meaning. The guys do seem to respect their work, the things that happen have consequences.

It's like South Park, at some point you knew they'd get rid of killing Kenny every week, if the Venture boys kept their clones it would be more of the same.

Getting back on topic, since PL is moonlighting as Revenge does this put more weight to Reapers theory on 21?

I've enjoyed this season even though it's different. But Hatred is starting to wear thin. You can't just switch out Brock Sampson for Sgt. Hatred and not expect to feel let down.

I dunno, but it cuts my theory to ribbons. Poor Prof. Fantamos seemed far too crazy and single-minded to be working 2 revenge fronts at once.

Especially since his henchmen now consist of a broken coffee mug, a toaster, and one of Dr. Girlfriend's black Faragamo shoes.

But he at least retains enough of a sense of honor to avenge Wisdom's mistaken death.
