Hank's definitely been competent before, like in the episode where he tries to join Sphinx but they just try to give him impossible tasks which he keeps acing.

He hasn't gotten the brainwave to start recruiting yet. He's still in 'useful cog'/henchman mode.

Knowing Gary, though - he'd probably recruit at local Ren Faires and comic conventions. I can see it now:

"Dude, who smells like poo poo?" *sniffs everybody* "You! Recruit Roose Bolton, why do you smell like poo poo?"

"My mom hasn't done my laundry this week, sir!"

"Y...*facepalms*...UNACCEPTABLE! From now on you're to be known as Recruit Reek!"

In that case though, it was because he had picked up a bunch of skills from his days as a boy adventurer. It likes saying that since escaping from handcuffs is impossible, there's no way that rear end in a top hat Houdini could pull it off.

This episode feels like a sequel to Love Bheits. Except without Brock holding him back Hank can finally show how crazy capable Batman he can be.

And Dean's moving up from hair strands and Miracle Gro. Maybe he'll be an anti-Rusty and actually be a competent scientist exceeding his father's reputation. Who the hell am I kidding? This is VB!:v:

There is a Tennessee Tea Party congresswoman named Marsha Blackburn who pops up on the pundit shows every so often, I'm inclined to believe that was the target considering the accent and name. But really it's six of one, half-dozen of the other. Probably a mix of the two.

Holy gently caress. All of Hatred's problems seem to lie with the OSI!

From that fever dream it kinda seems like we might get an arc with him where we find out he was never a pedophile to begin with, but that the OSI hosed with his brain for some reason and the pedophilia was a side effect. I hope not, that'd be a copout.

Nice screen grabs, guess it wasn't the lost son of Atlantis. That monkey looks a bit like the nut sniffing monkey Ben had in the Halloween special though, probably just a reused model though.

Was anyone able to make out what URGH stood for? I could only catch what I thought was humanoids and I couldn't make out the rest through the interlacing when I paused.

Is it too early to say this is the best season yet? These two episodes, and the Halloween one, are easily some of the best. They're making more callbacks to previous episodes than ever, pushing the storylines for everyone further, and making some great jokes in the process.

I'm dreading the season finale, because it's bound to have some kind of big cliffhanger that leaves us dying for more and hating however long it'll take for them to make season 6.

It's been a while since I've watched through S3, but Hatred has always been depicted as repentant about his pedophile tendencies. He knows pedophilia is wrong, and he's never tried to rationalize it like a NAMBLA member. So it's not that hard to believe that it was a side effect of OSI super science.

I think that's Jan from "The Brain That Wouldn't Die" in the middle boat, and for some reason the dog reminded me of Dyno-Mutt. Speaking of Dyno-Mutt, is Harvey Birdman in the same universe as Venture Brothers? Because I can totally see Phil Ken Sebben as the Venture family lawyer.

Hahahah oh my god, that was another great episode. And what's wrong with the Ventures being competent? Considering they only have one life I rather see them grow. The show isn't about failure no matter how people keep harping about it. Seeing Hank becoming the Bat was great. Hahaha I enjoyed seeing the return of Venturestein. I admit I was a bit worried that he was going to be killed off but I"m glad.

Rusty is good at reviving the dead it seems, I guess he's actually good at something for once.
