Wow. I liked the Manchurian Candidate vibe and the Lincoln subplot. I certainly didn't see the end coming.

I never got why did Manstrong had a chip in his head. Since it a Venture Industry thing was it another one of Jonas Venture Sr’s failed utopian ideas?

At the end Rusty mentioned that it was the Gargantua-1s motherboard, so it might have gotten stuck in there as a result of the crash. But no it was left nebulous - was that the reason? Was Mom responsible? Did Bud's flashback of the doctors working on it have some connection? No answers - another reason why I thought this episode was a turd, the chip was a total MacGuffin.

BTW, back when the Gargantua-1 was built, mainframe computers took up whole floors of buildings, so how could that teeny-tiny chip be the computer's motherboard? The whole thing about the space station was that it was totally forgotten and disused, so should have had mostly original equipment. Just a shaggy-dog story, a whole long setup for a lame gag at the very end.
