glam rock hamhock posted:Episode 1 and 2 spoilers: In regards to a question that keeps coming up, Jonas Sr being on Gargantua 1, I think the line is just phrased badly. I think they're talking about how Gargantua is this grand thing that Jonas designed and was going on and on about and bringing it down would get a ton of attention for it, not that Jonas himself was killed on Gargantua 1. The line is about bringing something of Jonas' down, not about literally killing him Is this about Red Death talking about movie night? Because I thought their plan was specifically to kidnap Jonas, before Movie Night happened and everything went off the rails. Which could plausibly have given Mr. Death sufficient pretense for a murder-bender. A man can do terrible things when he's lost his way. Like chop the most famous super-scientist in the world's loving head off. e: Of course, the explanation for the stinger to episode 2 will probably reveal some tertiary turn that renders all we've learned so far pointless within twenty minutes. They are Doc episodes, after all. e2: I love how any time I try to research stuff from earlier episodes, no matter what I eventually just end up watching my favorite clips on YouTube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1hfGEdw03sw e3: Hank has always been the most well-adjusted: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nM74QavtOFI RandallODim fucked around with this message at 15:43 on Aug 4, 2018 |

Episode 2 spoilers: has it been pointed out that Wide Wale's origin is that he was genetically fused with Damien Hirst's dumb preserved shark? Also, given the cliffhanger, is it possible that we're going to see The Monarch's dead cyborg father confront his arch-enemy's dead cyborg father?

There was somewhere they wrote that the third episode is very seeped in lore, and something people who like that sorta stuff will really dig– so I'm betting they will actually answer what happened between them both.

Isn't the main problem with "Doctails" not the ingredients but rather the proportions of said ingredients he uses Also has anyone here tried a Suffering Bastard?

Exactly. You never want more than a dash or a shot of grenadine in anything. Just imagining a highball filled with the stuff makes my stomach churn But a suffering bastard is a legit cocktail, I think? Never had one, but it sounds good to me.

"He penetrated... the Chamber Sub Rosa!" "The Chamber Sub Rosa?" Something about that exchange always cracks me up. Also, every scene Red Mantle takes part in is excellent.

If the monarch is rusty's brother I wouldn't be surprised if he too had a twin brother that ended up more like their father. Maybe the dude we see at the end of episode two is the monarchs twin brother but that goes way more into fan theory than what they usually go into.

Season 2 is a ways away, but its on the list. Also, I agree with everyone that Ghosts of the Sargasso is a great contender for the "introduce someone to the Venture Bros" episode, maybe even more than Tag Sale. "If you played by the rules -the Ghost Pirate rules- and just ran away, none of this would be happening. But no, you had to go nuts and kill a guy."

Tag Sale! is kinda meh. You get the great setup of a super scientist yard sale but the only two gadgets you see are the shrink ray (not used) and the lightsaber. The plot just kind of ends with the Monarch feeling sad for Venture because, uh, his lab isn't impressive, I guess? Sargasso rules, however.

Is there a reason to get the real book over a kindle version? Is it worth the extra 10 bucks to have it on the coffee table?

Something I learned from the book: I had no idea Brock was part Native. I thought when Hunter called him quarter Winnebago, he was referring to the RVs because Brock is huge. Never heard of the tribe.

My favorite part of "Ghosts of the Sargasso" is probably the whole situation with the real ghost. They're all looking for an esoteric way to deal with the ghost, because it's a loving ghost and nobody knows how to kill or get rid of a ghost. Then Sampson shows up and goes all Brock-ness-monster on it, physically attacking it as if it were just some guy, knocking its skull head off, and throwing it overboard. A simple solution that never occurred to anyone because they assumed that it wouldn't work on a ghost. And then the pirate captain says, "Well, we could have done that!", and without looking, Brock grabs him by the neck, because now that Problem #1 (Real Ghost Monster) is taken care of, it's time to deal with Problem #2: Fake Ghost Pirates. Then it cuts away. Hilarious.

Is it particularly heavy for a coffee table book? I love me my complete Calvin & Hobbes, but the thing has a permanent spot on the bookshelf on account of it weighing like 25 pounds.

So I just finally went and picked up my book, and, despite already knowing the scale of it from this thread, pulled it out of he box at the post office and went “holy poo poo”. Looking forward to flipping through it this afternoon.

I love me my complete Calvin & Hobbes, but the thing has a permanent spot on the bookshelf on account of it weighing like 25 pounds. It's about an inch thick and that's partially due to each page being like twice as thick as a normal book page, which is awesome. S7E1/2: Why didn't Dr. Mrs. The Monarch already offer Red Death a seat on the Council? Weren't they hard up for councilmen at the end of S6 because they didn't actually have 13 because of Watch and Ward and so on? Dude's level ten, he's been around literally four decades, he's got his poo poo together aside from being villainous-crazy which is allowed for a councilman, I don't know why they had to have the entire subplot about him wanting the seat and the pension because they should have just given them to him the instant he spoke up without hesitating.
