I wish I could say it lives up to the hype. I really do. But it just makes me want them to get Part 2 out so I can finish.
A few things: Not much Mol, that dissapoints me. Loved Hunter's 'Titsey Fly' line, just great. I guess we finally know where that D is on Hatred, love that too. The killers, very formulaic as far as I'm concerned. The gun guy reminds me of the Xenomorph and anime. Saw Shark Samson coming, but the hair loss is a nice callback. Holy Diver, was expecting a lot more. There was a bit of a Home Insecurity vibe at times so I was waiting for GUARDO to show up. Oh well, maybe next ep.
Also, what is up with the whole "Hank may be gay" thing? Where did this come from? I know Alchemist mentions it in Fallen Arches but it sorta came out of nowhere.

Oh, and 'Brock-o-dile' is cool too. I was sure it would be the Kimson nickname this week.

More gun wierdness from DH and JP. I live in a rural area: everyone around here, or almost everyone, owns a couple of guns at least. Not one gun owner here, or any gun owner that I have ever known has this wacky sexual fetish. Does anyone? Oh yeah, Phil Spector. OK, so there's one. But the only place (modulo PS) that you ever see this is in portrayals of gun owners by anti-gun people.

There's a big difference between "gun owner" and "assassin," and an even greater distance between "gun owner" and "psychopathic assassin with gun fetish." I don't think there was any intention in this character to suggest that all gun owners - or, in fact, any real world gun owners - fetishize their guns.

I hope not.

Some of their remarks make me less sure.

Having grown up in New York I know how very strange the anti-gun culture there is.

As I point out, Phil Spector definitely fetishized his guns, probably still does since he got off for shooting that chick. It does happen.

It said on Herr Triggers bio that he is a "weapon fetishist" so his actions were completely validated. Fucking hilarious too.

Except that if you go licking machine gun flash suppressors like that, you are going to end up with second and third degree burns on your tongue.

I am a gun owner (not Fetishist) and I thought that Herr Trigger was hillarious! That scene didn't strike me as an anti-Firearm Thing. just a "Boss, creepy, German Villan" thing. If anything, I suppose it strikes me more as a perpetuation of the steriotype that All Germans are sexual deviants.
Also, Yeah, he woulda' burned the hell out of his tongue.

Oh, he was definitely funny as all get out. No doubt about that.

No, my perception of JP and DH's political attitude goes to some of the commentary.

That is, with any luck at all, my last word on this matter.

Its like when Lawrence of Arabia was burning himself with matches and the clerk said "how do you do that"...and to paraphrase he said something like "the trick is not minding" .....(i.e. fetish)

Uhh, I don't think Herr Trigger was meant to represent all gun owners, but you can suddenly become defensive about it. And even if it was some sort of half-assed anti-gun message, why does that even matter? Not everyone is going to share your viewpoint on everything, and this is hardly the place to discuss it either.

Sorry, riding my hobby horse again.

I withdraw all objections to Herr Triggermensch's gun fetishism. It is possibly the least wierd thing about him.

This is not meant as an insult, but, you might be a gun nut when you can watch the whole episode of an over-the-top-adventure-satire-cartoon highlighted with a guy killing someone with a weaponized shark and then say " the guy licking his gun was too unrealistic.

It wasn't that it wasn't realistic, he was wondering if his past-time and hobby was being attacked as being for people "who have sick fetishes"

Thanks, DM, that's correct.

It's happened plenty of times, in a more serious context.

I certainly realize that not everyone shares my views on the Second Amendment, especially in the entertainment industry, and I am generally tolerant of views other than my own.

Ooh, right, talking about the guy in the Batman towel. I read that as a "Batman" joke rather than a "Hank is gay" joke, as well. To me, that's part of what's always makes VB funny - the bros. are so naive that they make some comments that could be construed as dirty/sexual/inappropriate, but they really have no idea what they're saying.

Don't forget the close relationship he has with Dermott. By the way, where is he? I was sure he'd pop up but nothing yet.

Wasn't Hank still wearing the dress from the play they put on for Triana when The Alchemist made the comment about 'accepting Hank' to Dr. Venture?

I think Hank falling in love with Nancy and Drew Quymm pretty much defeats the whole 'Hank is gay' argument.

The whole "Hank is gay" thing isn't an argument, it is a running gag.
Nothing Hank has done has hinted at him being gay. That's why the references to it are being played for laughs: they aren't serious.

Hank didn't seem too gay while he was chasing Nancy and Drew. The boy has a healthy heterosexual libidoe.

Well perhaps this clone version isn't gay. Dr.V never did isolate the gay gene.
