Clearly one of them was streaming Sharky's Machine and they nudged the controller accidentally skipping back a bit and just sort of clumsily fumbled the thing a bit too rough to go back a minute.

I just hit Gargantua-2 on my rewatch, and goddamn it’s so perfect. It gives me such high hopes for what the team can pull off in the film given just how many threads they are pulling together and tying off on that special.

What's really impressive is that it's not just that. It wasn't merely a wank over their own continuity and ongoing story. It effortlessly tied them all together and paid them all off while also being a really funny and kickass story on its own.

Here's the thing to ponder.

They jam packed everything they did into Gargantua-2 and it was 48 minutes.

This will be nearly twice that length.

I'm a big fan of both that episode and "What Color is Your Cleansuit" for the sheer scope of the story, dense volume of classic sci-fi homages and tropes, and the way they advance the story considerably. Just top-shelf stuff.

I would put Operation: P.R.O.M. in there too, but it leans a little too hard on THIS IS FOR ADULTS and Rusty's more misogynistic tendencies. Still like it a lot.

it was so confusing to see what color is your cleansuit after emo dean debuted in the halloween special and everything had then seemingly gone back to normal, I remember adult swim had a bump saying the halloween special happened during the commercial break

They said he can’t arch until the relationship is fully sorted out not that he can’t arch a relative. My guess is there are different rules between arching your brother and say a cousin.

More than anything it’s a plot device that keeps the monarch again from doing what he really wants to do.

There was literal paperwork involved in arching JVJ. I'm going out on a limb here that Killinger had started the paperwork before he arrived and he's also just better at navigating bureaucracy than the Monarchs. Not insurmountable, but going to take a couple days at least.

It could change rules on say, the arching of the boys. Rusty may be in play still, but if the monarch is the boys' uncle that crosses some line for the guild.

It could also have to do with his stature. The Monarch may be next of kin for venture industries and the guild may have rules against knocking someone off for inheritance.

He's probably allowed, but with different rules or different paperwork. He's just put on hold till that happens which was probably the worst letdown of the tenning. Right level but...... now you have to wait again to make sure this is done right.

I assume Killinger was just a figure you don't say no to in the Guild if you know what's good for you. The bureaucratic justifications would follow from that, and he would probably do his part to make that a smooth process.

Killinger also didn't actually get Rusty to the point of starting to actively arch Jonas Jr iirc, I imagine he already had the appropriate paperwork ready to go.

Also remember the specific point of conflict here is that they only know there seems to be a close blood relationship between the Monarch and Rusty according to one antiquated machine, and want to do further verification- and the Monarch arching Rusty as he always has may or may not break certain rules depending on that. Especially because he explicitly can't claim ignorance. Of course, it's all pretty dang arbitrary.

At least not in insufficiently dramatic fashion.

Yeah we don't know what rules were in place for the potential Rusty/JJ arching relationship. There are probably rules and regulations about what you're allowed to do depending on how closely related you are. Inheritance probably does come into it. So Rusty could arch JJ, but couldn't do anything that would cause JJ to die and then have Rusty inherit his stuff (even though it was technically already Rusty's stuff to begin with). But if they were distant cousins, then it doesn't really matter because there would be other next of kin so one wouldn't directly benefit from the death of the other.

So they have to determine how closely related the Monarch is to Rusty. if they are brothers, there could be a situation where if Malcolm takes out Rusty, he might gain control of Jonas Sr's estate because he would be the next of kin, not Hank and Dean. So they have to pause all arching to figure out what rules have to be followed.

But now I'm imagining two brothers arching each other (maybe Hank and Dean in the future) and they have to have some big OSI/Guild get together arbitration courtroom thing. One brother arched the other brother and ended up stealing some device. The victim brother then files a grievance because their father's will specifically states that he will receive said device, so the first brother shouldn't be allowed to take it during a heist.
