I watched it again a bit ago and I have a couple of thoughts:
Hank thinking that Brock was going to swear / talk about naked sex ladies was hilarious...
I think Brock's car tried to kill him because he didn't give the correct code when trying to access secret info... I don't think it was BECAUSE he tried to access the info...
I thought it was great that Archimedes started ORB with only a mirror... this is a reference to the story (likely myth) that Archimedes set fire to enemy ships with a system of mirrors...
Crowley said he was the "last" to add to the sphere, but I believe he meant that as in "most recent" (at the time he said it)... in other words, other people could have added after that (or might still in the future)... I wouldn't be surprised if Jonas Venture added to it in some way...
Brock referring to his assignment as ridiculous before looking at the boys and changing his words... a further reminder that we still don't know the details behind all of that...

Archimedes Death Ray was not a myth. It has been duplicated.
They got a bunch of guys with polished bronze shields, and set them in a parabola on the shore, and trained them to reflect the sunlight off their shields onto the same spot on one ship at a time.
As I say, it has been done. By MIT students: http://www.metafilter.com/45793/Archimedes-Death-Ray-Idea-Feasibility-Testing

I agree. The part that is unclear is why exactly he was given the assignment (though it looks now like ORB might have been a big part of that) and by whom (OSI or somebody else?)...
The puppy-dog like faces on Hank and Dean at that part were great. There was no way Brock could have finished saying it was ridiculous ;p

Right, it was a "get this guy out of our hair without actually firing him" job which is perfect because he would be 'busy' the entire time, but at the same time it's an insulting assignment to give to Brock. Even if you do know about ORB it's still babysitting because, in the case of Rusty, he doesn't even know about the thing and were it not for Billy Brock would have gone his entire OSI career without doing much aside from beating up dudes who go after Dr. Venture.

I find it hard to believe that no one has mentioned the Robot Chicken Season 11 finale with the Venture Bros Season 8 scene at the very end: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bKH-J3f2RkM
