Figurative Painting
So it appears that Doc Hammer, who is an accomplished classical artist as well as VB writer, has been sticking some Easter eggs in the background for fellow art enthusiasts once again. (For those who were unaware, all of the art in Phantom Limb's gallery in Season 2 actually were famous works of

There was a moment where Dr. Mrs. The Monarch was walking by 21 that seemed a little off… but I'm assuming that's because the overseas animates wasted their whole schedule on perfecting Dr. MTM's massive, erm, pupa twins.

I think the cigar thing was just supposed to just be mocking the sort of cliched dialogue that a character like Monstroso's is commonly saddled with.

That was my takeaway as well, Space Pope. (That was a fun sentence to write…)

I thought that the next episode after the break was going to open on their fight scene. That last scene between Hank and Brock was sort of sweet, but I also felt robbed of an awesome team-up moment.

Whatever happened to Superjail? I liked that show a lot. Drinky Crow wasn't too bad either — and it also seems to have disappeared.

SPHINX is the A-Team of the Ventureverse. They operate outside the law.

No porn, but I once found an entire rain-soaked box of Kato Kaelin's book on tape by a river bank behind a strip mall. I shit you not.

How about the Clone Wars cartoons? If you like Samurai Jack, those seem like a natural choice.

"Those sites are for horny married chicks with kids who want to exchange pervvy e-mails with their old high school boyfriends."

Don't forget Billy, who once saw two homeless guys giving each other oral sex. Apparently that's worse than wild dogs tearing off your hand and one of your eyes?

I suppose 24's lack of intact remains might be the sticking point… seems that there wasn't much left after the explosion other than a skull and a showbox worth of odds and ends.

Continuity
I'm almost embarrassed that I noticed this, but did anyone else pick up on the fact that Dean is dressed in his speedsuit when talking to Triana, despite the fact that he's wearing a, um, regular suit during the scenes before and after in the bedroom with Hank?

Can you actually buy those cufflinks? Because I've got a cause to wear them — it's called leaving the house! Those things are awesome. Hell, I would wear them to bed. So want.

Unlike most of the other characters on the show who are losers in the sense that they're incompetent, I think Dr. O's supposed to be a "loser" because he's a (recovering?) workaholic. He seems like a fairly attentive parent now, but he also makes a lot of comments about how he wasn't around for Triana growing up. I

Yep, I checked the credits, Molotov had a few lines. Also, CT's right, Episode 2 had some lines from Barbie-Q/Barbara Qantas… the voice actor is named Rachel Feinstein.

Actually, a man who thinks wearing goggles into a single's bar is the ultimate babe magnet would fit right into the world of the Venture Brothers.

Is the current version of Dean the one who Billy hooked up with the "complete package" after his brush with testicular torsion?

I thought bringing people back from the dead was supposed to be the one thing you can never do… Wasn't that the reason Dr. Orpheus said he couldn't help Number 21?

Maybe the boy's are under secret surveillance by OSI? Without Sgt. Hatred, they're completely unprotected. That's probably the real reason Dr. Venture's not gallivanting around the globe, much to Hank's annoyance…
