Pay No Attention to the Handsome Rock Star Behind the Couch!

I'm paying for it today, but holy crap am I glad I stayed up for Venture Bros last night.

I can't even articulate my squee. That was, hands down, Dean's Crowning Episode of Awesome. I know that Hank has become my favorite Venture, but that doesn't meant I don't still love Dean. I practically clapped when he stood up in the lab and proved he's got that Venture Steel, too.

Plus, mad as I am at Rusty for being a fail!dad to one of his sons, I really liked seeing him and Dean bond.

I still want to sell my soul to the Sovereign, but I've wanted to do that since I was in middle school.



Oh, Phantom Limb. Another of my favorites. It's no secret that epic hard on I have for British gentleman adventure types. I...I was not expecting what we got last night, but I liked it. A lot. Now that's how you throw a shoe!

I will admit, I was disappointed that Hank did not actually kick ass. Props to Hatred for believing in him, but.... I think Hatred needs to just give up. Though holy crap, I was kind of waiting for Hank to punch him during the whole 'some birds like birds, and some bees like bees...' speech. Of course Hank knows what Hatred likes, he lived through it! I wonder if O.S.I's brainwashing made Hatred forget that he kidnapped and bad touched Hank. (And technically Dean, but he passed out before anything happened, leaving Hank to bear the brunt of it.)

Ah, the references! They never fail to use Bowie references in the cleverest ways, and The Revenge Society didn't disappoint. And we have our second Dog Day Afternoon reference, brought to us once more by Hank.

Oh, and the Council? How much do we love the Council? That whole sequence where Limb was attacking them had me in stitches. I don't see why people are saying the humor is gone. It is there in spades.



Of course, last night's episode did retcon my entire epic novel length fic, but as I'd probably never finish it anyway, that's probably okay. I should post the bits I've got done one of these days. I think there's five whole independent stories finished....

I can't believe next weekend is the season finale of Titan Maximum already. And Metalocalypse never fails to be awesome. Only Dethklok could get away with being their own cover band. They're like the Stephen King of the musical world....

I HAVE SO MUCH TO DO TODAY!

Ugh, I am also a little pissy at Rusty for being such a shit-dad to Hank. The favoritism for Dean was always there, it's just a HECK OF A LOT worse this season....poor, sweet little Hanky :C

OH AND BY THE WAY, finished my half of the traaaaaade: http://community.livejournal.com/venture_fandom/42120.html

I know Dean is like...the Chosen One now, but still! Hank's seriously getting the raw end of the deal. Yeah, he's in a rebellious stage, but most of what he does isn't that bad.

I STILL LOVE IT TERRIBLY! :D

EXACTLY! And have you noticed that Hank and Dean like...NEVER do anything together anymore? It's like their growing apart and it's sad.

Dermott and Brock's old jacket are all the poor boy's got this season. :C

ANYTIME, M'DEAR! ANYTIME! ;)
