I suspect Jonas put G2 in the same orbit as G1. G1 did crash to earth after all

Well okay, no danger of being blown up on G2. I never thought of JJ putting G2 where G1 was, I just figured if they had been going to G2 they'd have had time to reach it before it blew up.

Yeah, I half expected the story to end with everybody thinking Monarch and 21 blew up along with the rest of the station, only for an after-credits thing to show them hanging in deep space in G1's old orbital path, confused and frustrated but very much alive. Happily I am not writing the show.

Anyone think we're going to see Colonel Gentleman and that robot sharing a place in Tangiers or somewhere next season? Also, I don't think Killinger will be on the new 13, he did say his place wasn't to lord over us mortals, and if The Monarch hadn't gone for the head chair, he'd probably have not come back at all. Also, also, I rewatched the halloween special afterwards, whatever happened to that Ben guy and his weird monkey thing?

It seems like they really went on a purge, and I can't disagree with anything they're dropping. Tim Tom and Kevin always sucked; JJ wasn't objectionable, but never really added anything; and if they decide to boot Hatred, I'll be happy to never hear that voice again.

They've trimmed a lot of fat for sure. Although they've never had a problem juggling a million drat story lines and characters, I'm looking forward to a more keen focus on the Ventures and Monarch in NYC. Pretty sure this is going to kick off a least a couple of seasons worth or re-watching. I'm ready for another 8 episodes of Venture Bros, 2019 can't come soon enough.

I'm pretty sure I remember something about Gargantua 2 being put into the same place in orbit that Gargantua 1 used to be. It's at least plausible the autopilot was taking them to the middle of nowhere, but the episode certainly seemed to think they were heading to the G2. Thanks for all the gifs J-ru, good stuff!

I imagine the series will end with a flash-forward to Doc being dead, Dean being a super scientist (as good as Rusty/Jonas/JJ but without the inferiority complex Doc has and maybe without the assholeishness of Jonas/JJ), and Hank doing OSI wet-work.

X_Toad posted:Speaking of Amber, is Brock trying to fill in the void left by Molotov? I don't think we've seen him in a relationship of that kind for that long before. As far as I know, Amber is still in a relationship with... the big gun guy... Headshot. (Had to look it up to be sure.) Last season, when he got tired of Shore Leave's innuendo, he mentioned that he was in a relationship with her, to which Shore Leave responded, "Does she know that?" This implies trouble in that relationship that Headshot may be unaware of (or apathetic toward). So, if Amber and Headshot broke up, then her relationship with Brock is new. If they didn't break up, then Brock is just her little bit of stuff on the side, so there's no relationship between her and Brock per se.

Tatsuta Age posted:Question: did I miss the insinuations of why the sovereign suddenly decided to go nuts? The investors or something? I don't get that part. As far as I can tell, the Sovereign had a deal with the Investors to keep control of the Guild and the bill was going to come due soon. Note that several other major players had deals with the Investors that came due (JJ, Monstroso) in a very short timeframe. My theory is that the Investors were going to assume direct control of the Guild and kill the current Sovereign, so the Sovereign decided to declare a scorched-earth policy and kill everyone who could threaten his position. When Killinger interfered, he panicked.

Steve Yun posted:I think Brock and Amber were sleeping together before the special. When Shore Leave says "Does Amber know that?" Brock freaks out and suggests that Headshot go hang out at the sniper position on the ridge, presumably before Shore Leave can get a chance to blurt out something. I think you're right. I remember that scene. It could mean that Brock just didn't want Shore Leave and Headshot to start talking about it, because it'd be awkward no matter what, but it makes a lot more sense if Brock has already started brocking her. Steve Yun posted:I could be wrong, but I think JJ also sold his soul to them to be a super scientist? It makes you wonder if JJ sold his soul in order to be transformed from a sentient teratoma into something that could live outside of Dr. Venture's body.

Tatsuta Age posted:Question: did I miss the insinuations of why the sovereign suddenly decided to go nuts? The investors or something? I don't get that part. Either he was reneging on a debt and/or the Investors were so ingrained with the Guild that even the Council of 13 weren't above suspicion. His paranoia had apparently gotten so bad that he went full Stalin. Seems out of character since he's been relatively chill up to this point but like he said, he IS a supervillain at the head of an evil organization. With the Investors losing their control over Monstroso and OSI and coming under full investigation by the new management, the Sovereign may have done some investigating of his own and discovered just how much of the Guild they had influence over. And when your organization make backstabbing and treachery a byword its probably best just to burn them all and let the devil sort them out.
