Man, you should post character analyses, or perhaps a discussion of in-show controversies, or overall themes. I would love to have a well-written out argument (plus pictures!) put forth for, for example, the reason the Monarch hates Dr. Venture, and for space to be provided in the comments for fans to violently agree and disagree. I have looked all over the Internet for such a space and not found it. I wish I had more Internet time to do it myself...

Interesting, thanks for your suggestions! I have always thought about doing that sort of thing (or seeing if I could get someone else to do it) but I never really knew how much interest there would be. Articles and new content seem to be getting the most response so far, which isn't too surprising, so I will certainly be focusing on that some more in the future, I think.
Self-Medication: Dr. Venture says "Spirit is up and roving, but opportunity hasn't come back on-line yet." This references the twin Mars rovers (Spirit and Opportunity) that landed in 2004.
Pomp & Circuitry: After Hank pulls the power cord on Sphinx's equipment communicating with Brock, Hunter says "Way to go, Heidi! Samson's down by three with a minute left in the game, and you just cut the feed!" This references the infamous Heidi Game in 1968 between the Raiders and Jets that forever changed how sports broadcasts would be scheduled and broadcast thereafter. The end of the exciting game was never aired as a pre-scheduled television film "Heidi" started at it's scheduled time.

The Silent Partners: Shoreleave says "First one to find a talking harp, wins." This is a reference to Jack and the Beanstalk, where the ogre/giant has a singing harp that Jack steals right from under the ogre's/giant 's nose. Obviously, Monstroso is the ogre/giant and the ship is his castle. This one may have been obvious, but not everyone knows Jack and the Beanstalk.

In case you guys don't check Tumblr/Twitter, I got this amazing Guild glass from Ann-Marie from PRoV as a thank you for donating some money to her booth at Dragon*Con: http://mantiseye.tumblr.com/post/16567698045/got-this-in-the-mail-today-along-with-some-other
It's pretty great! Also some pins and guitar picks and other assorted thingies, but the glass is really the centerpiece here. And PRoV/Venture Compound here: http://drd2001.livejournal.com/ (not to be confused with the PRoV Forums)

There will be two more seasons! They are working on them right now, in fact, but no dates have been set as far as when they will air. My best guess is late this year or possibly early next year, but that's just speculation on my part. I'll post news about a concrete date when it arrives!

If it hasn't been mentioned(no, I don't read other people's comments), why not break-downs of pop-cultural references on the show? With, perhaps, links to info about the source material? On an ...
