There’s a big difference between saying that you’d like to see them work on other things, and that they should stop doing something that they obviously like doing and/or they find profitable. After all, there’s nothing forcing them to keep putting out VB, and they don’t have a strict release schedule. > > So, slow your own roll, pal. You didn’t say any of that in your first post, and you’re still basically saying they don’t work on your schedule. I’m pretty sure that they’ve got at least one other project brewing in their mind at the very least, because I’ve never known a musician or artist that didn’t. When it’s finished, I’m sure we’ll see it. Lighten up, Francis. :dubious: ---

“The Art of the Venture Brothers” Book was released yesterday, and my copy arrived from Amazon. Well worth the 24 bucks! 400 pages, covers every episode, tons of art and interviews with Jackson and Doc. Amazing facts- Doc’s total take for writing Jacket for Shallow Gravy: eleven cents. He has the check displayed on his fridge. Apparently the original script for “Maybe No Go” had the characters huffing the air from the “Please Please Me” ball and tripping on 80s pop culture. Includes a shirt club catalog, and a flip book animation in the corner of every page. ---

With the potential return of certain characters, it seems like we’re close to the big reveal/resolution of The Monarch/Rusty’s base conflict. ---

> [@Hypno-Toad](#): > > With the potential return of certain characters, it seems like we’re close to the big reveal/resolution of The Monarch/Rusty’s base conflict. That’s the truth. Can’t wait until Sunday. Should be a pivotal episode. I still can’t believe that Jonas has been alive all this time. ---

Thanks for that. And because one good turn deserves another, [here’s a link to Episode 4.](http://www.adultswim.com/videos/the-venture-bros/the-high-cost-of-loathing/) Apparently, for a limited time you can watch it without loading adult swim’s app. ---

Just finished Ep 5 and it’s interesting to see Rusty stepping up to work it out between the GCI and OSI. One interesting thing: Helper 2 confirmed that Dean was “Special” and Dean thought it meant a clone. But then we found out that Hepler 2 thought it was Rusty. So…Is Rusty a clone? A backup like Hank and Dean had? After all, the education beds were created by Jonas for Rusty when he was a child. Or maybe Rusty’s a clone of ol Jonas? Maybe that’s what caused Jonas Jr. The “good” clone eaten up by the recessive version. At this point, I wouldn’t be surprised if Jonas was trying to make a new body for himself for immortality purposes but movie night got in the way and he ended up in a Problem. ---

> [@Hypno-Toad](#): > > … So…Is Rusty a clone? … That was my interpretation. Of course, I was one of those people who thought at the end of Season One that what Rusty said to Brock was “get their _clothes_”----- so you might want to take my insights with a grain of salt. :eek: ---

Another thing I noticed is that I don’t think they ever definitively stated who pulled the lever on the cargo bay doors on Gargantua. I also liked that it was one of Rusty’s plastic cowboys that tripped up the Action Man and made him drop the Jonascicle. A LOT of callbacks in that episode. ---

That was a great episode. It didn’t reveal any secrets, it hardly advanced the plot, it made no sense in the timeline- Augustus has already threatened and indeed almost killed Billy and Pete- but, wow, was it fun. Really reinforced the idea that the whole thing hero-villain thing is just elaborate LARPing. It’s so amusing that the Monarch, crazy as he is, still has the most honest, loving, and stable personal relationship. Also nice that the whole thing had a happy ending for everyone, even if some of it was hallucinated. St. Cloud is great, as creepy as he is. He’s Billy’s evil doppelganger- they both obsessively love the same pop-culture, for completely opposite reasons. Now I want a episode about the dysfunctional fandom that is created by the Augustus-Billy rivalry ---

It is funny to see how incompetent St Cloud is outside his very narrow world. And how he’s so perfect as Billy’s nemesis. Also liked seeing The Monarch and 21 become vested in his performance. The Unicorn In Captivity episode was pretty risque. The only member of the club that I recognized was Roy Bizby. I liked that Presto-Change-O was pretty competent despite his annoying silliness. Ram-Burglar getting shot via the teleporter was an interesting unintended side-effect. A last thought to leave you with: somebody had to get doc into that machine. And someone had to get him out afterwards. ---

Actually, I think he was one of the Illuminati on the shadow screens. And I just realized that Driver X was another iteration of [del]Dean Martin[/del] Copycat. ---
