The [spoiler]Marvel stuff[/spoiler] was cool too. Added a nice touch and call back to the Venture's roots in that sort of thing.
I am the first person in the thread to note that 2009 is the 70th anniversary of that release. Not that this is a show that needs additional reasons to homage such material, but there one is.
I'm also, oddly enough, the first person to mention [spoiler]Memento[/spoiler]. That's pretty much the exact structure this ep had: [spoiler]two interwoven narratives moving in opposite directions[/spoiler].
Although one of the jump-cuts had me theorizing that we were actually watching [spoiler]two separate sets of Hank and Dean, occurring simultaneously[/spoiler]. That would've been a neat trick too.
Anyhow, what to say about the show that hasn't been said already? It's got style and substance, it's funny and smart, and the writers are sharp enough that they could play the entire premise straight if they wanted to and would still have a damned fine show on their hands, but instead we get something that's goddamned hilarious.
Before now, I assumed that it was never going to be referred to again, just another element of the show meant to troll the viewers. Like the moppets.
Hm? They had a pretty big role in season 3, all things considered. And, as noted earlier in the thread, they're almost certainly the ones who [spoiler]detonated the car[/spoiler] in the season 3 finale. (Went back and forth on whether to spoilertag that. Decided I may as well.)
Or do you mean when they put the opening of season 3 up on adultswim.com and implied that they actually WERE going to be taking over the Cocoon?
