Holy ****... That reveal was so horrible, yet totally in character...

Anyway, as I stated before I love this show. It is probably my favorite show ever. For those who haven't seen this wonderful piece of work, first image Johnny Quest all grown up. But instead of being a world class adventurer or super scientist he is overwhelmed with such emotional baggage that he is drug addicted mess that all stemming from massive issues with his father. And there we have Thaddeus "Rusty" Venture. His two sons, the eponymous Venture Bros., are Hank and Dean. Hank looks like Fred from Scooby-Doo. As for personality imagine the Hardy Boys if they had massive head injuries and where taught by subliminal videos from the 1960's. Rounding out the main group is Brock Samson, he kills men, monsters, robots, but not women.

Honestly none of the above does the show any justice, really you just have to watch it. Also while the first season may be slow at times things just go crazy at the start of season two though and really never comes down.

Getting back tonight's episode... You can't even call it a new low, he has done worse but he was surprisingly sincere when he was confronted with the situation. Still what this brings to the table is very interesting. And about interesting that teaser with Rusty(?) at the end with old time comic book question mark has me excited.

Been a huge fan of this series since it aired (one of my all-time favorite shows as well!), and I loved tonight's episode!
 
Well while tonight's episode wasn't as hard hitting as last week's, it was still enjoyable. I am happy that we finally found out what happened to Cody but man is Impossible a dick. The new members of the Revenge Society were also neat but the best was the Bear Suit Knife Man who did disturb me a little. But the highlight has to be Dean realizing he doesn't want to follow in Rusty's footsteps not for the action but for fact we get to see Dean maturing. I have to hand it to Doc and McCulloch that was a wonderful gag they pulled with the post credits bits these last two weeks.

Holy ****... So much happened and it was awesome! So many twists, turns, and double-crosses. This was such a great episode and an example of the show's greatest strength: everything matters. Plus the "Rusty Venture" gag was hilarious. All that said it is going to be another long wait for the next season.

Also starting next Sunday at 10PM they are starting from the almost beginning, so it is great chance for anyone interested to get into the most awesome show ever!
 
Love the show, but I haven't watched a bit of its 4th season. I am trying to wait until it comes out on DVD, so I skipped everyone's posts to just say it is the best original creations to come out Cartoon Network and especially Adult Swim.
 
Awesome ending. And the post credits scene, it's as if Dean finally dropped his naive sheltered boy personality just for a second.
