It's stated that he's been calling in the past because of "arch terminated by a third party". I think we're reading a bit too much into this one, I man Jonas Jnr. Also has a direct line.

Some of the names I found in the VA credits: Steppenwolf The Nerve Sunsational Monsenor I'm guessing some of these are Council members? I just can't connect some of them. I think The Nerve is the brain in a robot suit and Monsenor is the priest at the funeral. Just have no idea who Steppenwolf or Sunsational could be. Any guesses?

Steppenwolf is the council member driving the deathmobile to the club and Sunsational was the only member of the solar system themed supervillians in the club to have a line.

What's the joke when the council members meet each other in the corridor after they decide to have a party? During the council meeting one of them is like "we can't carpool because we're too spread out", then they step out of their booth things and one of the heads of the two-headed dude says "So much for your precious anonymity", and Dr Z says "Well at least I tried" (referring to his fake moustache). But I don't get the joke. Did they not know they were in the same building up until that moment?

I thought the gag was that they played along with The Soverign's demands for them to not meet up because it would compromise their anonymity until he 'left', at which point they went right back to planning their night out. Then, it sounds like they're all still in different places because they're trying to figure out a carpool plan, before they leave their rooms and just all file out into one hallway, with "So much for your precious anonymity!" being a shot at The Sovereign's insistence on anonymity when they all already know each other and are in the exact same place.

He called at best middle management and they had a guild provided arch which these two clearly are in charge of managing. Jonas Jr. also had their number for the same reason it appears when the Monarch started to arch him.

I think that is the whole joke. They have this rule not to know who they are but most people put more effort into protecting a 4 digit pin to their garage door than the guild does to protect the council.

This season has been fantastic, but the moment that made me laugh the most was Dermott's saying "Douche" over the Titmouse logo in Mamma's Boys.

In the episode where Dragoon and Red Mantle got stitched together, they earnestly say that they can't help because they don't even know where the other ones are. It does make it clear that those two are in the same place, but they seem to actually not know.

I think they *can* report from their hideouts (like Phantom Limb used to do), but in this case the Moon guy didn't think they actually showed up.

Phantom limb wasn't on the council and clearly they all thought they each reported to their own special areas where the would never see each other (why moon guy thought he was safe to lie). Somehow though in 15 years plus they never bumped into each other ever till just now even though clearly they are all next to each other everyday. Hence why this is funny as hell.

Yeah, Vendata, I think, was the one that said "are we even in the same building" when they were trying to figure out what was happening during the REVENGE! attack. But then the whole Council was together at the party where the Monarch tapped his future wife, so they clearly do not follow the rules!

Oh god only on the 3rd watch that I realized that Don Hell is supposed to be Don Heck, one of the classic Marvel artists. I caught it was a BoS bunker right off the bat though. Its pretty obvious that Bock is banging Amber Gold though. This episode is probably one of my favorite episodes of this series ever. But I love any OSI/GCI action.

The council didn't seem all that clear on where they were. Brock normally doesn't have sex with important women, normally he just bangs some chick that will never show up again.

Vendata manages to get into Steppenwolf's tube in that clip, they just don't know if someone is telecommuting/what tube office they're in. E: moon guy is a good point someone made above but one could argue he simply is a dumbass for not slipping out before the others/hiding in his tube.

I just noticed something subtle on my second viewing. At the end of "Mama's Boys", Helper rides the cab with his head sticking out of the window like a dog... or like the way he always rides the X1. Even in a taxi he wants to ride like R2D2.   Great season; "Bot Seeks Bot" may be my favorite episode of all time. Maybe.

Also has a direct line. I still think somehow Jonas Sr. is still "alive" and in stasis or something. Hell, make the plotline that he stole Walt Disney's (or Brisby's) cryo-stasis unit or something because he picked up the world's first antibiotic-resistant strain of the Clap from an unnamed villain's Femme Fatale, and have him thawed now that we've got better stuff. It'd be formative for both Rusty and J.J. since Rusty'll finally get to stand up to him and J.J. will learn he needs to stop idolizing and carrying on the legacy of a horrible man.

Snark posted:I saw it as an homage to Don Hill's - a legendary (recently former) NYC music venue/club. It could be both, though. The name makes sense, both to Don Heck and the NYC venue, but the costume struck me as Frankenstein from Death Race 2000. I suspect they were seeing how many homages they could attach to a single character.

One of my favorite details in the episode is if you compare Ghost Robot to the real Galacticon that shows up, you can see that OSI just gave GR hands and glued some doodads to his head and painted him 80's pink and blue.

It's so weird that there are so many brand new extras in this episode, normally they just reuse the same extras again and again (it's how St. Cloud became a character). I only recognize one or two background characters in the club and everyone else is brand new. I don't think I even see Truckules anywhere, and he's the best background supervillain ever.

In response to people talking about the Monarch's back story, it's in the first/non-pilot-first episode toward the end. It's easy to remember because I can hear the old Monarch voice telling the story.
