Shirt Club is coming.

Holy shit, Todd Alcott is analyzing Venture Bros again? This is almost half as exciting as the incipient season, itself!

Okay that was wonderful.

Some things worked better than others, but everything was enjoyable. I think my favorite subplot was Dean in the Scifi Original Movie Dome Dwellers.

"Just talk normal, he's really bad at that."

Not the kind of bared tits I would have liked to see, but at least we got something.

My thoughts -- less on this episode in particular than how legitimately and consistently fucking great the show is in general.

TA · « **Reply #229 on:** June 04, 2013, 03:30:07 PM »

The thing that stood out most to me, honestly? Among all the amazing things, it was the musculature on Martin's chest. Getting the [spoiler]four-arms[/spoiler] look right is really really hard, but that nailed it.

Thad · « **Reply #230 on:** June 04, 2013, 03:49:16 PM »

I got to thinking today -- of the entire cast of the show, who's still in the same place they were when it started?

I came up with Doc, Billy, and Pete. And that's it.

And that Doc is in a rut and can't do anything to change the way he lives his life is kind of the entire point.

It's pretty amazing that damn near everybody else on the show has grown and changed in some significant way.

patito · « **Reply #231 on:** June 04, 2013, 03:57:34 PM »

Hey, Billy and Pete have their own successful company now.

Thad · « **Reply #232 on:** June 04, 2013, 04:41:30 PM »

And their own archenemy.

I still don't think it counts as a major disruption in their status quo, but if we do count it, then so much the better, because that would mean everybody but Doc.

Zaratustra · « **Reply #233 on:** June 06, 2013, 02:12:36 AM »

I thought the episode was a bit too close to the one where they find a tribe of subterranean men left there by Doc's dad.

Thad · « **Reply #234 on:** July 22, 2013, 01:29:41 PM »

So that was the finale, huh? Damn, that sure went fast.

It's the lowest-key finale the show's ever done; [spoiler]nobody important dead, no major changes to the status quo (except for one change back to the old status quo)[/spoiler], just another day in the life. Yet at the same time, it does a great job of tying up a couple of the major arcs of this season, and one that's been an even longer time coming. Oh, and the theme -- it's a show about failure -- was nicely restated.

Wonder if the change of pace is because this time they're already hard at work on the next season -- I'd love to hope it'll be here sooner rather than later, but I'm not going to do that considering we just finished season 5 of a show that started when I was still in college.

Doesn't matter. This show has never failed to be worth the wait. All these years and it's only gotten better. I stand by my claim that it's quite possibly the smartest show on TV.

Mothra · « **Reply #235 on:** July 22, 2013, 02:00:02 PM »

I... felt the same way. Was very surprised to hear this was the season finale. Looks like the first three seasons had 13 episodes each, then the fourth season at 16 (17, if you count PROM as two episodes). This one had 8. It makes me wonder if this is just a mid-season break, but... no indication that this is the case.

It wasn't bad, by any means. It was strange though. I think I liked it, but I was far from loving it.

That said, at least up until the last third, Bot Seeks Bot was one of my favorite Venture Brothers episodes in a long time. Got a lot of laughs out of that one.

Sharkey · « **Reply #236 on:** July 22, 2013, 03:02:56 PM »

Wait, that was it? Easily agreed that this was one of the best of the season, if seven episodes is the season, but holy hell that'd be a weird break from form. These things pretty consistently end with death and changes... which usually shake back down to something close to the status quo, but whatever!

... and I don't like things that're different </plinkett>

Shark, I think you're an episode behind. Last episode is "The Devil's Grip".

Well, 9 if you count Cleansuit as two episodes, 10 if you include the Halloween Special, 10.5 if you count Shallow Gravy. But yeah, still pretty short, especially considering the gap.

Yay! One more!

Sorry, I forget how TV works. Why can't they just stop only doing things at single places in time? It's fucking irritating. Just do everything all at once forever to save me the trouble of remembering what happened when. All I want is a legitimate video delivery service that offers the complete run of every program I might ever take an interest in all playing at once.

Really, a little violation of causality seems like an entirely reasonable expectation at zero bucks a month
