"Next patient?" *snickers* "I guess that would be me, doctor. I have a huge pain in my rear end." Monarch got more into the spirit of things this time than he did with Dr. Dugong.

Dean could have been playing Witcher 3 and found out hot sorceresses sometimes turn into cats and hang out. Anyways, probably one of the best of the season, but not one you can go in blind, you need to know the show pretty well to appreciate it fully. But yea, I figured Goodfella's from the start, but as it wore on it clearly became more of a generic noir style story. Dr Z telling the story about how he did EVERYTHING and he means EVERYTHING with Blue Morpho was pretty drat hilarious. "It was the 1970s!". And I like how he knew the deal with Blue Morpho, that he was Jonas's black ops guy, the one you called in when things needed to be violent. Probably a good chance Blue Morpho and Jonas were the closest of friends, even more than The Action Man or Col Gentlemen. There was some clues laid in for figuring out the mystery of the Blue Morpho. The Guild had a bounty on Blue Morpho that was collected. They need to find out who that was, and that will lead them to the Monarch.

The Blue Morpho was actually a Vendata/Venturion robot the whole time. He has Jonas' personality but without the public image he's more brutal. When the plane crashes it resets Blue Morpho, he turns himself in to the Guild to and becomes Vendata. Crazier things have happened

new theory: Jonas is the monarchs father and Blue Morpho is his mother.

Dr. Z's Blue Morpho could've easily been the Sovereign. Perhaps the Sovereign destroyed the records because he took the bounty for himself. I was going to suggest maybe he let BM collect the bounty on himself as a severance plan for leaving the world of villains and arching, but he doesn't really seem like that nice of a guy.

Blue Morpho took off the Billie Jean King mask. The Sovereign def. wouldn't need to do that.

I used to enjoy reading mantis eye project! after the show because they would condense cultural/pop references in the show, but sometime in the last 12 years the dude got a job or life, or something. Anyone know of something similar?

drrockso20 posted:It's more that he pretty much stopped bothering keeping up with new technology after sometime in the 80s or 90s, and it's been biting him in the rear end to varying degrees for almost the entire series It's funny that technology has passed him up even since the series has been out. When I watched the first season or two in the early 2000s, the Venture family's communicator watch was still pretty high-tech -- you could have a video call right on your wrist! And then, in the ten years since, smartphone technology has gotten so much more efficient and compact that, yeah, of course you'd be able to Facetime someone from a tiny device -- my iPhone 5c is not even top-of-the-line, and it has a bigger screen and probably more powerful internals than the communicator watch. (Can the Apple or Android watches do video calls, yet?) It's to the point where the watch is starting to look like clunky old 70s tech, with its boxyness, thick leather band, and the huge bezel that's wasting so much potential screen space. I actually went through the same thing when the last Fallout game came out and actually included a full-size PipBoy (which is similar to the Venture communicator) with the collector's edition... and it was just a hollow shell that you strap to your wrist and put your smartphone inside. It seemed so high-tech when I was playing the first games. Hell, even when I was playing Fallout 3.

The only person I've ever been able to watch this show with is my sister. No one else jives with the humor/ gets many of the references/ is willing to keep up with it.  Also, I broke down and ordered this week's shirt. My first non-DVD Venture purchase.

I love how the camera and writing danced around showing Christopher Lambert like he was a historical figure in a period film. Not sure if it was an homage to a specific movie but it totally sold the style homage.
