yeah if you like VB and you haven't watched any incarnations of The Tick, you're missing out.

Also the new DuckTales.

Is it just me or is 5 the weakest season by a pretty significant margin? It’s not bad but I just finished it in my rewatch and coming off of S4 (probably my favorite season) it just feels kind of directionless. It doesn’t really have any episodes that really stand out, either.

What Color Is Your Cleansuit is one of my favorites, but maybe it just stands out to me because it was released for free and I watched it a bunch of times before I moved on to the rest of the season.

And wasn't Bot Seeks Bot the episode that introduced the Guild nightclub that showed up again a few more times? I felt like that did a lot to flesh out Guild villains as people who had lives outside the arching. But looking back I guess all the Malice gated community episodes did that much earlier.

Ha, that’s the only episode I skipped. I think part of why I don’t like that one is that Aziz Ansari annoys the poo poo out of me. But it’s definitely my least favorite episode of the series.

I didn't find him annoying at the time, so it didn't bother me then. What annoyed me about that episode was that Dean found a girl that liked him and then they wiped her memory.

Was Season 5 when things started getting more serialized? I had just been watching the show as whatever and didn't realize a larger story was starting to take place. So it wasn't until after seeing All This and Gargantua 2 and then watching What Color is Your Cleansuit again that I realized that they were connected. When watching ATAG2, I was confused at first when Dean was talking about the students having four arms.

I'll admit, that bugged me because it seemed like they were trying way too hard to force a catchphrase

Yeah for real S4-5 is where the show hit its stride. Honestly there isn't a season I don't really like. A few episodes here and there but eh.

Season 5 suffers from having both it's awesome finale and it's opener (the Halloween special) being lopped off.

I thought it was season 6. Isn’t it the reason S6 was so short?

Yeah I adore every season, though I admit that after 5 I'm less likely to revisit episodes just because they're so serialized that I feel like I have to watch the whole season to get the most out of it.

It was written as the Season 5 finale but it ended up counting as technically Season 6 in episode orders or something weird like that.

They thought they were getting a standalone feature to cap off season 5 and then started working on season 6. Then they found out that Adult Swim was only paying for so many episodes, so it ended up eating up the resources for one of their season 6 episodes. Also, what's really lovely is that ATAG2 is a separate entry on Amazon. So when I bought season 6 because I didn't have cable, it didn't include it even though it was part of Season 6's budget. Though it looks like Hulu includes it as part of 6.

Season 5 definitely suffers from being like half as long as the one that came before it and also having to follow the absolute best episode of the show, Operation PROM.

Exploration is ill-advised.
Think it probably makes sense then that season 5 ends with the biggest status quo change the show has seen.

Both the intended ending and the normal season ending make some pretty big changes.

That was so funny. She looks so much like Jackie O, who exists in that universe, and is somehow oblivious to her existence and image. I like how Dr. Mrs. The Monarch even guesses that the celebrity on her card is her when she's given a pretty clear clue.
