A few things race through my mind after seeing the show on TV, mostly concerning the original Team Venture.
First and most important, Kano speaks, which is awesome.
Second, what happened to Otto Aquarius? He was only in one episode yet he was an original Team Venture member. I don't think he went missionary until after the team broke up.
Third, I feel Jonas wasn't as bad in this episode as everybody says he was. He created a system with too much personality. Even in the Ventureverse, that's pretty futuristic. He had to make sacrifices to ensure somebody got out. Like the spaceship project, he abandoned it out of reverence for the (assumed) dead. Don't take this as Jonas worship, just I feel he gets a bum rap from all the things he did that were actually bad.
One other thing: why don't they just unplug M.U.T.H.E.R.? If plugging in starts her, unplugging would stop her. But I guess that's too easy and the episode would lose tension. Whatever, just venting.

I thought about how they could've unplugged her too. I think they avoided that intentionally, as in the characters are all too stupid, or at least lack the common sense to think of that. I think that was one of the jokes, that they all missed the obvious solution.
