There was a Doc Hammer Graphic with the logo for the fake Illuminati that showed up briefly as Doc entered the manor. An owl in front of the eye pyramid, with some dog latin I tried for a second to figure out the joke of before failing and deciding to wait til someone on the internet explained it. I assume it'll be that.

I assume it'll be that. Yeah, that'd be my guess as well - or the logo from CopyCat's Copy Copter, which would be a pretty lazy shirt. Comedy option: The logo from the bag of adult diapers Gary hid Monarch's wings in.

The Ayshkerbundy posted:When I was watching the ep my initial assumption was that she was spying on them for the guild. Granted then the end tag comes along and changes everything Yeah, that was my initial assumption, too. Also, Dr. Mrs. The Monarch is fairly sexually liberated. She and Monarch have openly discussed their extramarital activities in episodes prior to this. That she was a spy willing to work (I think she said it was work) in an orgy to get some intel isn't a surprise or out-of-character.

Holy fuckin hell I loved Presto Chango. Seriously the animation on him is ... banana-gins Also I'm probably just naïve about cliches but I was super caught off guard by Portal hijinks. The gunshots through the teleporter and the sudden careening off the rails into chaos and chase scenes had me howling with laughter

Data Graham posted:Holy fuckin hell I loved Presto Chango. Seriously the animation on him is ... banana-gins On your first point: agreed. On your second, I figured they'd have some portal bananagins as soon as the Pirate accidentally became the first human test subject. But what made it great were the specific gags they used--the bullets was pretty good, but the decapitation was hilarious, as was Monarch's reaction to suddenly having a head show up in the panic room. Even better, people reacted like you'd expect after suddenly appearing at the other telepad: they're surprised as all hell. When Monarch shows up next to Gary, who is already screaming, Gary turns to the Monarch, who is also screaming for a couple of different reasons, and you can see that they startle each other on top of what they're already screaming about. How cool is it that you can see it in their animated faces? The art this season is loving amazing.

It should be fairly obvious that the whole thing was a simulation. Probably from where Brock blindfolded him off screen and then instead putting him in the car, it's back into the chair to be set up on the machine. It might be before that, but the end result is that Doc was basically rused to give up his teleporters except that the Monarch has them and one of two things are gonna happen: A. He tries to hide it from his wife and the Guild for his own use to move up the ranks better or B. He shows his wife who either tells him to do the previous thing or tells him to give it to the Guild. I think there's a chance Presto Change-o might be alive since he survived Brock stabbing him in the face, but he may or may not be dead after that.

It ends up becoming the Deus Ex Machina for stopping a rampaging Jonas Venture, because he would never expect Rusty to get an invention right or come up with something that Jonas couldn't.

I'd say the odds are good on him still being alive simply based on the fact that while Brock did *stab him in the face*, a being that can turn him/itself into an invertebrate or hand truck probably is made up of biomatter that can be whatever wherever it wants. All we can truly be sure of it that it definitely *hurt* him. Also, there's no way the 'Tiger' wasn't a nod to the Leland Orser scene in 'Se7en.'

I love how he still has a threshold for how much he will tolerate acting as a release valve for the audience when things almost go off the rails.

I love how he still has a threshold for how much he will tolerate acting as a release valve for the audience when things almost go off the rails. I was about to say pretty much this. It was just such a silly thing for him to do--how was that going to seriously delay Brock for long? Even if Brock wasn't feeling all stabby and killy, he could, you know, get off of it. Just a terrible idea by, as Brock put it, "amateurs." But the "Oh, stop! This is... STUPID!!!" was hilarious. Also... wasn't it out-of-character for Brock to suddenly be so stabby and killy? Just kidding. It wasn't. We just haven't seen it in a while, and I didn't realize how much I missed it. Oh, I like the more developed character of Brock vs. what he was in Season 1, but I have to admit, it was great seeing him snuff out some antagonists again. I just noticed that Dot Com, when she falls out of the back of the van, shouts "W-T-F!" Shouts the actual letters.

I've got a few bucks on the monarch getting to a pretty decent position within the guild by the end of the season. Maybe even into a spot where he's causes even more headaches for the councilwoman.

Drill guy might still be alive too since he was dragged offscreen, also if Copy Cat is still alive he's probably in for a world of trouble considering his plan resulted in at least two Guild Member deaths and quite a bit of public property damage and only succeeded due to sheer luck on Monarch's part

I was waiting for something wacky to happen because the teleporter pads were stacked on each other. Kinda seems like one of those 'divide by zero' kinds of things, having a teleporter teleport itself.

They get leads about prospective buyers and try to sell to them however they can. Their firm brings in a guy who runs a competition where the two best salesmen get the new leads, the Glengarry leads, and the other salesman is fired.

They've teased us with the Rusty/clone thing and Hank's feelings of isolation now that Dean is off to college, I hope they come through on those! Honestly? With the Morphic Trilogy taking up a solid third of the episodes available this season, I wouldn't be surprised if we get a string of lighter episodes and setup, with next season being where things get heavier again. Rusty and The Monarch are getting more competent, the bros are settling into their college and not-college lives, and all the pieces on the board are falling into place to be used later on. Unless the next three episodes break out a ton of surprises, I don't think we're getting another P.R.O.M. , Gargantua-2, or Blue Morpho level plot convergence happening.

This was a really hosed up episode that didn't fit the tone of the show at all. What this episode did to Dr Mrs The Monarch went too far and the it was all a dream ending didn't make up for the plot advancement. This was a parody a decade past it's relevancy and wildly distasteful at best.

It does kinda feel more like one of the lesser episodes of seasons 1 through 3* than the norm for episode quality we've had since season 5, like I wouldn't be surprised if it was an episode idea they've been sitting on for a couple seasons and finally decided to use it after updating various details to fit the current status quo *by which I mean episodes like Guess Who's Coming To State Dinner or Dr Quim, Medicine Woman

The simulation most likely built itself based on what Rusty thought would make sense. It pulled people out of Rusty's memories that he thought might be people who would secretly be running the world. People like Brisby. It needs someone to seduce him, and he's been obsessed with Sheila for years, so it used her.

A shard of glass was embedded in his nose, and ripping it out caused one little burst of blood. Trust me, even the tiniest facial cuts, basically anything larger than a shaving nick, bleed like crazy. Unless your face is The Tick, that is.
