Venture Brothers "The Invisible Hand of Fate"

Oh, duh. Yes. Ignore me. (I still don’t think it’s super likely Brock is Hank’s father, though.)

Ok, but how does that translate to “Hank is Brock’s clone?”

We’re to assume that almost a decade after they left college, Rusty “just happened” to have some of Brock’s DNA lying around and decided to clone it? Sorry, I don’t buy it. I firmly subscribe to the "Hank and Dean are the legitimate (albeit at this point several times cloned) sons of Rusty and Myra. Dean has Rusty’s attributes (red hair and smarts,) while Hank has Myra’s (blond hair and “strength.” (he is physically stronger than Dean.))

Rusty admitted he fucked her, and neither he nor Brock disputed her claim that she was their mother. In no less than three flashbacks (from three different people, no less) we have seen her with Rusty in a “more than just a bodyguard” fashion.

It’s very clear to me that she’s their mother, and I dare anyone to try and offer any substantial evidence to the contrary. So far, the only things I’ve seen are people saying
“Well, Hank is blond like Brock…also, this last episode had that one random OSI agent who looked sort of like Hank”
Oh, so now he’s a clone of Brock AND a random OSI agent that Rusty never met yet had his DNA so he could have an infant versions of him when Brock was assigned to operation Rusty’s Blanket?

Sorry, but you’re wrong. Very wrong.

Um, I wasn’t arguing that Brock is Hank’s father. Paranoid Randroid said that we had “no reason” to believe Rusty knew Brock. I was reminding him(her?) that Rusty did, in fact, know Brock. I made no comment on the implications of Brock being Hank’s father. So, I’m not “very wrong”-- I haven’t asserted anything except a point of canon.

It’s not like that Brock’s DNA would be particularly hard for Rusty (or T.S., as he was called in college) to get. Brock was slinging it all over their shared dorm room.

But yeah, I’m fairly convinced that the boys are the children of Rusty and Myra.

But the problem with this is that it makes too much sense. Far too straightforward to actually be the truth. :smiley:
