Quick question: Why is Jonas J. so eager to become like his father? He never knew the guy, and by looking at Rusty can see that Jonas Sr. was probably a incompotent father (allowing his son to get kidnapped so many times) and a selfish prick (See: Dr. Quymn, Medicine Woman and What Goes Down Must Come Up). Hell, Entmann himself can argue that Jonas Sr. was a thoughtless hack, But Hey, I guess Years trapped in a stomach nursing delusions of grandure wil do that to you.

Otherwise, an excellent episode as I've ever seen one. I do pray we see Henchman #1 again and I pray that the Monarch goes a=on a killing rampage we can see on screen. (Brock Style, not what he did with Dr. Manatee) A Perfect 10 if there ever was one.

JJ wasn't just spending all those years inside Rusty with his delusions, he (I assume by hearing) experienced all of the original Dr. Venture son's past, so he probably feels as close to the original Dr. Venture as Rusty.... with the added benefit that he didn't have to see his johnson at the breakfast table, or experience many of the other negative aspects of Rusty's life.

I see it more as... Jonas Jr.'s experiences of his father were predominantly positive ones -- that is, JJ experienced Jonas as, perhaps, a person watching the Old Rusty Venture TV Show would have. They don't see, notice, or care that Jonas is doing all of these irresponsible things because that's not how he carries himself.

How conscious JJ actually was, I presume, was not very much, as he was inside his brother's gut. But they do acknowledge he had some amount of awareness while he was still absorbed.

I don't get it. JJ knew who Sally Impossible was in 20 Years to Midnight. She asked if they had met and he replied, "Not so you'd have noticed", but he doesn't know who The Monarch is? I had been under the impression that he had been concious of Rusty's experiences from being inside him. That's how JJ was able to nearly kill Rusty in Return to Spider Skull Island. he even know the ray gun Rusty was holding didn't work.
