I don't believe there was any inappropriate behavior between Captain Sunshine and Hank.  I think the whole joke that episode was the "perfectly reasonabl" explainaitons for things the audience was meant to take as sex jokes (the lube is for the slide, as an example).

It seems unlikely however that the hatred stems from their shared poetry class.  There is something deeper, which so far hasn't been revealed.  

So it's kind of weird how the revelation of the Monarch kind of overshadows the entire episode.   I mean, there is a lot going on with Gary, but once the photo comes out, the whole episode kind of shifts in importance, and of course the problem with this is that the Monarch Revelation doesnt' really inform the greater…

I think it's supposed to represent the serum he was givent he flash back breaking down.  It's not uncommon for avid male steroid users to develop breast tissue, and I think that's the point.   The super steroid is breaking down, and part of that is his hormones are going haywire, and growign breasts.

You know I keep thinking about that scene in "are you there god it's me dean" where the Monarch tells Hank that he is his mother.   The history with the Monarch is ancient, and for the Monarch to not remember something from his past is a shocking thing…it kind of reminds me of when Hank and Dean had differnt sets of…

I'm actually a little more into him since last week's flash back to being a science experiment.  There is a history in comics for a guy to be the go to patsy for any number of conspiracies.   You've got Jack Monroe, John Walker, Dennis Duphy, even William Burnside to some extent, where they were repeatedly drugged,…

That's a fair enough criticism.  I would say that Molotov is certainly insane, although insane in much the same way that Brock is, hyper violent, hyper sexual, and subject to both exploitive emotional states,and being exploited by them.

The Halloween episode stated that Jonas and, name escapes me so I'm just going to call him the Dude, cracked clonning, suggesting that it was done while Jonas was alive, and before Rusty could have participated in it.

Maybe the Monarch is an old Rusty Clone, that got activated early (old Jonas Thoguht the boy was dead, but he got better, or it was all an illusion), accidentally, and was shipped off, explaining his life long hatred of the Rusty.

In at least on universe, Rusty is a wildly successful broadway producer, suggesting that if he ever brought his Rusty! musical to the stage it could be a hit as well.  As always though, he is too tempted by the easy way out (killing his other dimensional doppleganger and taking his place) or self doubt to persue his…

Nah, we know that Hank was born before Brock Joined the Venture Family.  We forget that Rusty used to be a bad ass to back in the day, he just has lost interest in that life.

I don't know what was more interesting in this episode, that Hank proved to be every bit the adventurer he always implied, or that Dean was actually a fairly competent engineer (and likely scientist).

O.k. very late to the party here, but something just struck me about the Dr.'s name, and Riversong's knowledge there of.   When asked how she knows his name, she in this episode (and now I wonder about previous episodes) says she made him.  She doesn't say, "I made him tell me his name" she says "I made him" given so…

speak for yourself…

If I had to wager a guess as to why Gilda got cut, it's likely due to the idea that (as she was set up as a counter love interest for Leonard) that she was just a littel too Zelda Gilroy, and as such, having a series where the sweet nerd girl is in love with the handome lead (such as he is) even as he persues the…

It may well be that they just so happy he actually isn't gay, they'll take what they can get.   It should be noted that in at least one early episode, I believe the one where he asked them to find a wife for him, they thought it wa shis coming out.

The problem with that argument is that it assumes that a real god, and a human notion of evil are applicable to one another.  There are those who say that the existence of suffering is proof of the evil nature of god if he exists, but I'm much more atuned to the idea that there is a purpose in these tragedies that we…

you do realize, this is the entire global warming debate in a nutshell.  We live in a fantastical world where people live (by many standards of the past) nearly forever, and in such luxury as to boggle our ancestors minds.  Just in the last century, we have beaten back dread deseases, we have allowed children to live…

One wonders if that's intentional, that is, you want a story that is first and formost, a "water cooler show" a show that gets people talking about it the next day to get folks to tune in.  Also, I think it's important to remember, that the folks watching this story for the first time had no perspective on what the…
