Interesting episode. Not as funny as some of the others, but you get interesting insight into their lives. - Rusty calls Brock to do the parenting - This is what happens when you have someone who grew up in the Eighties write for other people who grew up in the Eighties - Taking the dirt nap while listening to Technotronic? - Apparently the Monarch has taken a break from hiring more henchmen since the last disasterous recruitment effort. - If Phantom Limb, just budgeted his finances properly he wouldn’t need to be selling Guild insurance. Fancy antique cars and persian rugs. - Yeah, Iranian rugs just don’t have any cachet. - Take out all of Brocks friends? Right. They would have problems with Molotov Cocktease alone. ---

It’s funny that Brock didn’t go back when Dr. Venture asked him too, but went to save the boys. Why risk Dr. Venture when they could have just cloned a couple more boys? ---

Oh, right. Dr. Venture is disarmed and bleeding to death. Don’t imagine that’ll be mentioned again. ---

I don’t see why they should. Master Billy successfully reattached the arm. They also haven’t mentioned anything further about the incident where Rusty’s eyeball was dislodged from its orbit. ---

You have to remember to keep watching after the credits. They usually wrap up some dangling plot threads (or limbs) with a short scene. ---

[QUOTE=Revtim] It’s funny that Brock didn’t go back when Dr. Venture asked him too, but went to save the boys. Why risk Dr. Venture when they could have just cloned a couple more boys? [/QUOTE] Jackson Publick addressed this on his livejournal after the big reveal at the beginning of the season. Yes, they can make more Venture brothers, but seeing a couple of hyper-innocent teenagers die and knowing that he failed them isn’t a fun experience. Brock therefore, will fight his hardest to save the boys. He’s a big softie like that. Besides, if the boys died they wouldn’t have the memory of their first dates. **archmichael** : The Monarch _can’t_ hire new henchmen without Guild approval. That’s what the whole insurance/double date thing was all about. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/venture-bros-8-13/368622.md?page=1)
