Just watched the special...really need to rewatch Season 5.
I'd completely forgotten Dr. Mrs. The Monarch was on the council. She replaced some robot that died at a night club and might have been the Monarch's father or something, right?
Also, have we seen Billy Quizboy's mother before? I didn't remember her at all.
Speaking of Billy Quizboy, where the hell was Pete White? I don't think he was even mentioned (though you do see him sitting in the crowd in the online-only epilogue, he just wasn't in the episode itself).
We have a few times. She use to be a costumed femm fatale, Action Man was in the same retirment home as her and they rekindled an old...thing they had.
When do we find out she was a femme fatale before this episode? I completely missed that.
In the Devil's Grip theres a flashback where Brain-u-lo has her and some other mind controlled and fighting Team Venture
You know, I kept expecting some kind of payoff for...
Rusty apparently getting snubbed when it came to reservations/rooms/etc. It didn't seem like something JJ would do intentionally, but I don't remember it being explained or followed-up on.

I'm thinking it either got cut or JJ really didn't want Rusty to see him in his condition
pretty sure the deal with the investors allowed them to put in things that gave the Sovereign access to the shield and the core, though it's never actually stated

Its never directly said but one of the Writers brings it up in the commentary that people were speculating they were the same person and they both laugh about it because they had thought they made it obvious but had accidentally created a mystery.

JJ has often been capable of minor dickery towards Rusty. Nothing Major but this isn't the first time he's pranked him.

I didn't get the impression they'd actually completed their deal with JJ, seemed like they were still negotiating when Gargantua 2 came under attack, so it never got completed.
The OSI knew JJ was dealing with the investors, so its likely they had already at least were working together somehow.

Wait, really? I know exactly the scene you're talking about, but that's her?

That was the intent yes. Don't feel bad about missing it.
For reference, here are the things I know about the rest of the series up to the special from this week that I've learned one way or another over the past couple years:
Brock ends up leaving the Ventures and is replaced by Sgt. Hatred
Hank and Dean learn they're clones
At some point Dean gets a newer, dumber look appropriate for a dumb teenager
Dr. Girlfriend becomes Dr. Mrs. The Monarch and joins the Council
Henchman 24 dies
A number of beloved characters like Orpheus have all but vanished by the 5th season
David Bowie isn't actually David Bowie, he just likes being Bowie
JJ dies of cancer, Rusty gets ownership of all the remaining Venture assets
I'm guessing not a lot of this is show-ruining and there's still plenty more I don't know

Whatever, still awesome.
I don't mean that sarcastically it was obtuse as hell.
Is it weird that at this point I am significantly more invested in The Monarch and Dr. Girlfriend than I am in any of the Ventures
Doc Hammer had a great panel at DragonCon two or three years back where he said the only reason he doesn't make the entire show just Monarch and Dr. Girlfriend is because he needs to physically limit himself doing Dr. Girlfriend's voice. (but to be fair at all his DragonCon panels he's being sarcastic a lot of the time) The best part though was he explicitly said the hardest thing to say as Dr. Girlfriend is the actual word "monarch" and then, of course, Jackson made her name actually become Mrs. The Monarch.

Oh, no, I know. I didn't mean to sound like "fuck you" with that, I just still think the whole everything is real awesome.
Now I need to know if the tuxedo mask guy turns out to be anybody.

Escape to the House of Mummies Part II and 20 Years to Midnight are probably the two greatest episodes that ever wound up being back to back in a Season.

Actually

It was the episode where Gary came back to the Monarchs, The and Dr. Mrs.
http://teamventure.org/w/images/3//Triple_Threat_and_Jass.png
She was Triple Threat in the old days.
She sings, she dances, she KILLS.
Because I'm terrible with bbcode or the site isn't letting me hotlink. Probably me just being terrible, but it's on that site.
The OSI knew JJ was dealing with the investors, so its likely they had already at least were working together somehow.
I haven't seen 3-5, is there anything to disprove my belief that Orpheus is the best person on the whole show

Wait, really? I know exactly the scene you're talking about, but that's her?
But only because it's the last episode I have available and it's incredible
"David Bowie" was the only thing I knew about the show before I started watching it
And that aspect totally lives up to the hype once he's revealed
That was the intent yes. Don't feel bad about missing it.
Orpheus is absolutely the best.
Is it weird that at this point I am significantly more invested in The Monarch and Dr. Girlfriend than I am in any of the Ventures
Not in the slightest
Just wondering
Yeah, the Venture Crew kinda wanes in how compelling they are until "Everybody Comes to Hank's" or so
They're still funny and the show's still great, don't get me wrong. They just don't have really juicy material there for a bit.
Yes, he and the Monarch went through (and then ignored) a bunch of guild protocol during the third episode of Season 1, "Home Insecurity"
Yeah season 4 is likely to turn things around for you but with where you are at it makes sense.
Oh man, season 3 is great.

Orphous got episodes devoted to him as late as season 4 and I can think of a few episodes where he shows up in season 5.
Whatever, still awesome.
Everybody Comes to Hanks might be my favorite episode ever.
I don't mean that sarcastically it was obtuse as hell.
It is important that you know that Orpheus actually gets super rad through seasons 3 and 4.
His little speech on Halloween from the Halloween special is fucking beautiful.

There is still a special place in my heart for Escape to the House of Mummies Part II that cannot be replaced.
Good lord I can't believe that episode is almost ten years old.
Oh, no, I know. I didn't mean to sound like "fuck you" with that, I just still think the whole everything is real awesome.
Now I need to know if the tuxedo mask guy turns out to be anybody.
That really is an amazing episode, too.
I don't remember who you're talking about. Someone that really blended in I'm guessing?
This show really shines in the episodes where tons of characters show up and bounce off each other.
