    But then, nothing that Dumbledore did or said really implied anything about his sexuality (keeping in mind that everyone at Hogwart's and in the wizarding world in general wore fabulous robes all the time).
    Perhaps, but it does make his relationship with Gellert Grindelwald make more sense. Or, at least, make it more interesting to consider.

    I remember some bit with Dumbledore wearing a bonnet during Christmas. I mean, come on.

    I do get the impression they will wrap up the series in the next few years.

    I'm only like 30 seconds into it (thanks AS for not being racist against Canadians!) but...

    Is... is that Colbert back as Professor Impossible?

    That was amazing.
    Perfect use of energy blades, just a small amount of action with them. Enough to make it fun in an important moment.

    They cut down a lot of characters and finished up a lot of plot points.

    It was interesting to see Phantom Limb have second thoughts about turning off the ray shield.

    And now Dr Venture gets to live off the accomplishments of another, greater mind again.

    He's a shy overambitious dog-catcher on the wrong side of the law. She's an orphaned psychic mercenary with the power to bend men's minds. They fight crime!

    That was fantastic.

    I should hate these men for how long they take. But then they produce fucking platinum every time. So much happened.
    JJ and Tester dead. The Investors dead. Sovereign maybe dead. Most of the council dead. The old dudes still around though. The compound is gone. Season 6 in NYC? What could wrong?

    How long till Rusty runs the new Venture Industries into the ground? A year? Six Months?

    Also will Hank ever be a super spy? Will Dean do Dean things? WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO ORPHEUS!

    Oh god I love this show.

    And the epilogue. Fantastic.

    But then again I don't like star wars so.

    I thought the lightsabers were really pushing it as well.
    The reveal that they were just standing there and that was all some psychic mental thing saved it though.

    So I totally forgot this was on. Thank god for DVR :D

    Also holy shit they actually got Steven Colbert to stop being a dick and come back.

    Edit: Also the epilogue on adultswim.com was fantastic. Why wouldn't they show that on TV? Do they really need to drive traffic to their crappy website? (that wouldn't even show me JUST the epilogue - I had to fast forward through the whole episode to find it)

    Colbert was not "being a dick." Reduce the quantity of Internet in your bloodstream, dude.

    Colbert's agents didn't know who Hammer and Publick were and didn't return their calls. When Colbert found out, he called them to apologize personally but was not able to make his schedule work out to come back until now.

    Huh. Does he often speak in third person?

    No I don't.

    Watched this last night.

    Agreed with the consensus that it's hard to be annoyed at the two of them for taking their time between seasons when they come out with stuff like this.

    The big fight sequence was also the best bit of animation the show has put out.

    Because they were goofy. I distinctly got the impression that they only had lightsabers, complete with the sound effects, because nerds fuckin' love Star Wars.

    It's a very Venture thing to do, which is a decent reason, I guess. Absolutely brilliant episode all the same.

    I also did not expect a Totally Spies reference. That's random even for this show.

    Said by Soverign in the form of 21 when Dr. Mrs. The Monarch and the others storm Soverign's HQ.

    Man, "Dr. Mrs. The Monarch" will NEVER stop being funny.

    I'm impressed that he was able to draw the Monarch logo with a gas can that large, that quickly.
    I wonder if he practices in his free time. "...15 steps forward, 90 degree turn to the left, 45 steps forward...". You know, just in case he ever found himself unsupervised on Venture's front lawn with a gas can.

    It's the perfect act of petty, egotistical dickery that managed to get out of control. It's totally Monarch.

    They also never knew it was him, the image would have been lost. So he actually failed in the whole point of the petty vandalism.

    Hey so did anybody figure out what happened to
    Fat Chance?

    Phantom Limb and Radical Left fall through one of his portals into Meteor Majeur, but the last we see of him is unconscious in Gargantua 2 Casino

    Is he dead?

    Can he transport himself through his own portals? I don't think he can, because otherwise he wouldn't have had to break into Gargantua 2 the way he did.

    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.

    I need more. I need to binge on Venture the way I did through the first 5 Seasons.

    This special paradoxically satisfied me and whet my appetite.

    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.
