@avclub-c01431c2e06ee8eaf5de2e9c9e05b9b8:disqus , shaped like an "R" no less.

@avclub-e3f5ab7f02122f95b801e13e2c586d6a:disqus , technically, the show set up the original S.P.H.I.N.X. as another antagonist for the OSI (very 80's style GI Joe vs. Cobra).  OSI has always dealt with costumed aggression, the re-purposed S.P.H.I.N.X. under Gathers was keeping an eye on those who acted with…

You mean yours aren't?!?  Poor bastard…

@avclub-01e8318c286a584caffbb596a95652d2:disqus , any reason to say duodenum, really.

Most members of the Guild either were members or became members because of Jonas, so the transference of their villainous intent to the son is easily understandable.

@avclub-cfe912f5cb3aa572bd1c9ae2a9b82207:disqus , well the original Captain Sunshine at any rate.  One could assume he recognized the broken husk of Ghost Robot and brought him back to the Sanctum Solarium for repairs.

@disqus_oaLJ5MNIyo:disqus , you are right.  I thought that at first, but then I thought the Wacky Races theme was a take off of the original Munsters theme.  Went back and listened, and I am an idiot.

He'd be great to party with, if only to wager on what he would pull out of his duodenum.

@avclub-91546109eaf110327d50b0955865712a:disqus , point taken, but I think Jonas was into tapping as much ass as he could.  He enjoyed the randomness.  He wouldn't get that with sexrobots.  I could see him building one but not using it.

Oh yeah.

I wasn't being too serious.  Just trying to point out the only positive that happened in the Senate in any of those movies and that includes the Yoda/Emperor fight.

@avclub-e61aa34d4fdadea6be28371410ba224a:disqus , I could see him building sexrobots for his friends and cohorts actually.  In all seriousness, given the Rusty soliloquy from "Assisted Suicide" I am shocked Jonas DIDN'T build one for TS.

@avclub-91546109eaf110327d50b0955865712a:disqus , Jonas was a playboy, why whould he build a sexrobot when he could just go pick up playboy models and actual whores.

@avclub-e19f6e2f7a453aaeba2e97d5426cee74:disqus , pretty sure the finale is an hour next week.  I could be wrong, but I thought they said that both the premiere and finale were hour long to make up for the shortness of the season as a whole.

I think the chance that Vendata originally was the Monarch's father are high, just saying if Vendata ends up being Major Tom, he logically SHOULDN'T be the Monarch's father.

I would love the 2nd quick theory to be true.  Hopefully there will be more Ben next season, because JK Simmons is awesome.

Shore Leave awesomeness:

I also love the fact that Red Mantle can manipulate earth because how brilliant is that given his name.

brulio2415, That's who I am thinking as well.  That would fit the mythology the show has created and continue to show Jonas as the sick S.O.B he is (fitting since his father was part of the original Guild).

His friends call him Boggles.
