Just a really great fun episode, makes me wonder if we're going to have to bust out the last of the old Rusty Clones down in the basement, which also makes me wonder if the Doc's been backing up his own memories at night in the sleep bed.  Might be weired if they upload him, and he's missing a decade or two.

Bill Cosby's had the chair since Bill Cosby is a Very Funny Fellow: Right.

I think it speaks well for American that we have 40% non white comedians telling racist jokes on this list.

It's possible the rushed process is what lead to the eventual madness of Myra, hence why he's let his boys clones steep for decades.

He might be successful, but like Steve Jobs, that doesnt' mean his technology isn't riddled with glitches (like all tech).  The idea being, that even though he has taken the mantle of Jonas Venture, he might not really be that much better at supersciencing than Rusty would be if he had similarly taken the mantle. 

Atually, after rewatching it, I think that Orpheus is being a little cagey about how much he knows.  Trying to disuade Dermott of the possibility saying that magic isn't a DNA test, but that it usually just reveals more questions.   Seemed like he might have realized he had said too much, and was trying to back peddle

I loved the fact that the cult of Mother all had tattoos, which I am guessing is a refernce to the Goblin Cult from the Osborn series.  The idea of one charismatic lunatic, getting a bunch of other lunatics to follow them is a cool idea, and I really enjoyed how the folly of it is exposed here.  Sure, the mentally

When he formed a band…don't you know, anybody who is in a band is automatically cool.

I didn't even realize we had a rival.

There is also the possibility of willful guilibility.  It's been suggested that the entire Guild's purpose is to let a bunch of crazy super scientists play at being villains and heroes in a controlled ruled setting.  The idea being that without an outlet like that people like the Monarch or even Dr. Venture might be a

I was thinking that too, but I think, he didn't actually see the information in the key chain, just cast the spell, so he knew that Hank had slept with someone his father had slept with, but he didn't know the details.

So I am guessing that someone on the Venture Staff really doesn't like their Apple Products, given their V Phone and V Pad jokes. Also cool to see Jonas Jr. putting out as shoddy of products as Rusty might if he actually put the manufacutring wing into production again.

I love how many of the "America is Dead" lines are prefraced with how "we used to be" something else.   Of course, any honest analaysis of American History should notice how incredibly far we've come from it's inception.   Not to say America is great, but that it is better than it once was, and that is something

It's possible that the joke just didn't work if they played it out too long.  Generally speaking there is no illegality for parody, and there is no possiblity of liable (the character has never really been shown doing anythign evil, despie being the leader of a cabal of super villains) so they likely opted not to

Given that shapeshifters are apparently common enough, that the Soverign's ability to do so was nothing special, I can imagine that some super powered prostitutes do exist, and cater to an exclusive clientele.  Heck, if you think about it, it's the perfect power set for a prostitute, you can instantly become anyone's

Perhaps, but that seems like a somewhat specific detail for someone outside the family to either know or to relate.  Another possibility is that Dean (who didn't jump off the roof) remembered something happening at that time, but was told that Hank was fine, just on a little trip (while the clone slug matured and was

So, I was wondering, has Dean perhaps already talked to his dad about his cloniness?  We've seen that he's fairly comfortable talking to people about it (or at least pretty girls in "What Color is You Clean Suit") and his off handed mention of Hank jumping off the roof (something that Dean shouldn't have first hand

Well, it's usually refered to as being in Rashomon style, so I would imagine that the conceit was popularized after Kurosawa film.  That said, I think earlier epistolary novels kind of fall into this field as well, as you alternate between narrators each with their own perspsectives, and motivations. Like a lot of

Actually, given that their Scooby parody, involved a demonically possessed great dane as their scooby analog, one could argue their version of Scooby Doo was alwasy a bit more evil in its inception.

Unluss the pyrotechnic Mr. White's fire spread to Billy, a simple case of double spontaneous human combustion the police will say, happens more than you'd think.
