baronv Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 While I thought this season only had one or two good episodes so far,"Now Museum, Now You Don't" is one of the funniest in the series so far I thought. Great use of many characters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kanedaestes Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 Only one or two good episodes???? Um yeah i think you need to leave this thread, I personally know Brock Samson and he will so kill you with his ass. JK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JsARCLIGHT Posted July 26, 2008 Author Share Posted July 26, 2008 Of all the episodes shown this season I would only count one of them as a lame duck. The others are all either good or great. "Now Museum, Now You Don't" was another great one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JsARCLIGHT Posted July 28, 2008 Author Share Posted July 28, 2008 Another possible clue to Dr. Tara Quymn being Jonas Venture's daughter is that when Col. Gentleman decks Rusty at the museum party he yells "And that's for breaking my step-daughter's heart!" Tara Quymn isn't Col. Gentleman's biological daughter... so who's daughter is she?

kanedaestes Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 Did anyone else notice that when Team Venture came to rescue Rusty they never really did and just kind of left him in the water while handling the bad guys and taking over Spider Skull Island? Sure they took the pirhanas out but still he was just sitting in the water the whole time. I love this episode, you see where all these secondary characters that have been popping up came from. Plus you get the feeling more that even though Jonas did love Rusty his safety was rarely ever that much of a concern for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JsARCLIGHT Posted July 29, 2008 Author Share Posted July 29, 2008 I've always thought that a lot of Jonas' seeming apathy towards his son's peril was based more in his confidence that nothing would actually happen to him more than his lack of concern. The Jonas Venture / Rusty relationship is more or less the time honored stereotypical "Jock dad with a dork son" motif. Jonas thinks his son is "loving every minute of it" like he is but Rusty is really being traumatized repeatedly. I have friends who attest to this kind of treatment at the hands of their fathers... stories of games of catch that resulted in broken noses, tales of "pet the nice dog junior" resulting in nasty bites. Hearing those almost makes me glad my father was crippled... in a sense my childhood was reversed, I was the one constantly pushing my dad to do things he didn't want to do or wasn't comfortable doing.

No. The aquatic guy (who's name I forget) took Rusty out of the water, and handed him to HELPER, right after sending the pirahnas after the villains.

Oh I just remember the fish jumping out. I will have to rewatch it on my DVR now. "hah had you going there for a moment!" I like how Colbert's too "big" for Cartoon Network now. I noticed that too and was upset. So he can come back for season 2 but now is too big to come back for season 3. And whatever happened to his own cartoon Tek Jensen???

The pirate made me laugh out loud, which I RARELY do for TV/Movies Also think they were referencing voltron with the "go venture forice!!" But the episode definatley had a Star Trek II vibe going on with the monarch commanding the cocoon.

reddsun1 Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 Oh yeah, the reference to Voltron and all-things-chogokin was unmistakable. Just went back to finish watching the rest of the ep. 21 and 24's "tormenting" No 1 was priceless! --I know it sounds crazy, but they both have that rare blend of expendable and invulnerable that makes for a perfect henchman. I can't wait to see how this new Arching assignment plays itself out. When I saw that the Monarch was approaching Spider Skull Island at the end of the last ep., I was like "uh-oh, the repercussions of this ought make for some interesting ep's later in the season..." It begs the question: when Rusty finds out that The Monarch is now arching J.J., will it make him even more insecure? will he get jealous? think that J.J. is "stealing everything from him, even his nemesis"? Could it be the proverbial "last straw" that pushes Rusty into choosing the path of the Arch that even Dr. Killinger couldn't steer him down? The Dark S-7 Maneuver was comic genius!

Apparently the "lethal force" clause was broken by both of them, that lead to alot of confusion. Dr Girlfriend finds a loophole that because Jonas tired to kill Monarch he can target relatives ie Rusty. So it's back on. Is there any way to say there's a "best part" of this show? No way, too awesome. I love 21 and 24 giving the new guy such a hard time too. And of course the ultra death-ray. "If it was a woman I'd marry it." "And I'd jepardize our friendship by nailing your hot wife." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baronv Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 Orb was indeed very funny. Wonder who's gonna die now? Is next week's episode the last one for the season? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JsARCLIGHT Posted August 9, 2008 Author Share Posted August 9, 2008 Next week's episode is a two-parter to end the season. "The Family That Slays Together, Stays Together" parts 1 and 2. They've let a lot of loose ends dangling to wrap up in these last two episodes and it will be fun to see where they go with it this time.

Wes Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 I might cry when this season ends. It was easily one of the most awesome events on TV ever. It's rare that a show can go from awesome in one season into legendary the next. I can't wait 2 more years for another season. I'm near Georgia maybe I can "remind" those guys why they need to give them the green light sooner... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JsARCLIGHT Posted August 10, 2008 Author Share Posted August 10, 2008 OK, the biggest possible expose of this episode... is it true? Did Kano kill Jonas Venture Sr. because he found out too much about the ORB? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kanedaestes Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Once again was this all planned out before or are they just that good enough that they can throw these twists in later? Operation Rusty's Blanket just also happened to be ORB.... Hmmmm..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wes Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 But it takes away from the feeling eariler in the season when it looked like Brock was just dumped off - he had a real purpose there. But it's kinda odd that Jonas Sr. would want to go "hey wat does THIS button do?!" and get himself the axe. I'm wondering if Kano jumped the gun. So who do you guys think are going to make a grab for the orb next week - Monarch or Phantom Limb? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kanedaestes Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 No matter what i believe that it will end in a huge cliffhanger where we wait a year to find out what really happens. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JsARCLIGHT Posted August 11, 2008 Author Share Posted August 11, 2008 I'm not so sure it's an issue of "what does this button do" as much as it is the urge to turn the ORB on. It seems that the point of no return is that decision. Rusty avoids it by saying he is going to study the Orb... studying it does not imply switching it on. Knowing what we do of Jonas Venture I would say his intent was to switch it on. As for the finale/cliffhanger of this season I've seen a lot of stills from the last two episodes online and in various other places. We have a LOT that is going to happen. Old characters may return en masse, new characters are going to appear and some unexplained choices are apparently going to be made. I'd say more but then I'd have to execute my Orders Relating to Bodyguard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JsARCLIGHT Posted August 12, 2008 Author Share Posted August 12, 2008 I'm inclined to believe Jonas studied it and actually knew what it was but ran afoul of the age old Guild "Orders Regarding Bodyguard". After all, he had time to hide or re-hide it before he was killed. When you think about it, it makes no sense that he would be killed only to have everyone put everything back where it was so someone else could find it. All the clues in the cartoon were probably placed there by Jonas... which leads one to believe he found it when Rusty was a kid then took his sweet time studying it before finally deciding to turn it on. After all, Jonas didn't die until Rusty was in college. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
