    Oh man, what's it like in the world of bad opinions? :snap:

    There's a lot of great media. Even this one cool show called the adventure twins.

    I don't seem to be able to watch the new Venture Bros legally yet

    but this chinese knockoff Adventure Time... I can work with this.

    @Dark Raven X‌ not sure if you were kidding, but the new VB doesn't appear to be region locked on the AS site. I watched it in Ireland, a few Canadians chimed in and said it worked.

    Speaking of survivors, there's one more we never technically saw in the episode:
    Gathers mentioned Vendata survived. Meaning we STILL have the potential for all kinds of Monarch/Venture family revelations.

    Or hell, just plan great Vendata awkwardness. "Bot Seeks Bot," where he had a so-so date with a disguised Ghost Robot, was fantastic.

    I really liked how we got to see the boys demonstrate some actual competence too; both Hank and Dean have proven themselves to be more capable than everyone else thinks they are.

    I would love if Season 6 showed a bit of Rusty coping with the fact that in many ways his boys are starting to not need him anymore and he's starting to need them instead.

    To be fair, they've been proven completely incompetent at least 14 times, I'd lose faith too.

    Yeah their heist method implies he can't. Which makes sense. I hope he's still alive though. I'm a sucker for self improvement success stories.
    He's fine. He wouldn't have been able to control the portal if he was still unconscious, Professor Incorrigable was escaping by shuttle with his ex-wife, and Jonas piloted the reactor clear of the rest of the station regardless. I think it's implied that everyone outside of the command module was evacuated.
    It didn't look like he was. Seemed more like he was knocked out and crazy stuff was coming out of it. I doubt that he wanted a squid and a couple Inuit to jump out.
    That's what I'm saying. He obviously has no control over the portal when he's unconscious, the Revenge Society ended up making a controlled warp to the meteor base, therefore he must have woken up at some point.

    I initially confused myself and thought that Incorrigible was there with Phantom Limb in the last scene, which would have proved conclusively that he survived, but it was only Phantom Limb and Radical Left. Still, Phantom Limb, Radical Left, Baron Underbite, and Fat Chance were all together in the casino, and only Phantom Limb and and Radical Left went to the asteroid base. There's no way Underbite, at least, died off-screen completely unannounced and unacknowledged. So I assume they either escaped together by some other means or Phantom Limb went back and got them afterwards (since Jonas successfully detached the reactor and piloted it away, the casino module is probably still intact).

    I looked him up, and he was apparently he was one of the people in the insane asylum in that one episode last season. His status as a member of the Revenge Society was new, though.
    Which is part of why I'm so sure Fat Chance must have lived. Why would Zero die on screen, Radical Left survive, but Fat Chance die off screen?

    The only thing that didn't make sense with their heist plan was that Fat Chance should should have just stayed on earth as the portal and sent everyone else to various places on the space station. That way their linchpin is safe.

    Their might be a distance limitation. Like, he can reach in to the local or alternate dimensions but only so far in any given direction. Which brings up a more important question:

    The hell are Inuit and squid doing in space in alternate dimension?

    Wait I think have an answer
    His controlled portals have a distance limitation. The involuntary ones just happen, he has no control over distance just as he has no control of what gets picked up

    Other things
    I don't think the warp to Meteor Majeur was controlled, as Phantom Limb and Radical Left literally Fall out of it, and when they infiltrate the casino they just step out. Also, if he were to just send them to the casino instead, then they would have been a man down at the start (he can't teleport himself)

    I doubt they'd kill off Baron Ünderbeiht (very fun to type and say) off screen, but I'm worried because he both wasn't in that portal, and those that did go through didn't seem to do it on purpose

    I'd bet 5 bucks that whatever the Monarch hates Venture for, it turns out it's actually not Venture's fault and the whole thing's been a misunderstanding.

    Pretty sure Rusty and the Monarch are step-brothers because their parents were swingers.

    Monarch would be unaware of that. He was surprised to find the photo of him playing with Rusty as a small child.

    Also, there's SOME reason. Dr. Ms. The Monarch knows why, but she got interrupted before she could tell the Moppets. (Who then comment on why the hell is it so hard to get an answer about this.)

    Half-brothers? Maybe even full, I cant remember Rusty's mom being brought up at all and they look very similar.
    Which brings up how many kids Jonas Sr. has out there.
    Rusty, Jonas Jr., possible Dr. Quymm and The Monarch.

    And Rusty has Hank, Dean, and Dermott.

    There's a lot of little Ventures out there.

    Edit: and Nancy and Drew. They would also be from the Jonas Sr. line through Quymm.

    The other theory is that the Monarch played Rusty on the TV show.

    I don't think it's ever declared in-show, although the wiki lists it as a cartoon, so maybe?

    Either way, that was one proposed theory for how Monarch and parents got to know JJ and Rusty.

    ...and of course, as always, Kill Hitler.

    I think he could just be a Rusty clone that was given away to another couple to have as a child, and both of them are defects from Jonas' first attempts to clone himself.

    Best scene for me was in the Money Room with former Number 1 and Brock Samson
    No. 1 "Dont concern yourself with the rats in the cages."

    Brock "Do I know you?"

    No. 1 ./long slow inhale. Keeping temper down.
    "You're not gonna get to me."

    Brock "Oh I remember now, you're that scrub henchman I beat to holy hell and then he got all big breeches and tried to do his own thing
    and still got the crap beat out of him."

    No. 1 "Y'know what?" Draw pistol, walks towards the cell, "This is for all the nameless henchmen out there that you've kill- what was that?"

    Gargantua 2 shudders from impacts. OSI lady secures the gun and breaks No. 1's arm. Brock wraps No.1's head in his arms and goes 180* on No.1's neck.
    No. 1 can't even fall down... just hanging from his broken arm tangled in the cell doors. Brock and OSI chick get out of the cell.

    Like Damn.
