Ok, now that I've had some time to process, I have two additional thoughts about last night's episode- first, the music was great all around, and second, I wonder how many time the boys have actually died, considering there have been at least 3 or 4 more we've found out about since Powerless in the Face of Death and Brock said these were the 7s.

In Powerless In The Face of Death they said that their death at the end of season 1 was the 14th time they had died, and they showed a montage of 11 deaths (though a few of them were only Hank or only Dean), so there's like 4 - 5 left after that if you assume the 14 count was accurate.

I count 13 deaths for Hank, 12 for Dean, but I might be missing some:

- sucked into the x-1 engine
- giant robot spider
- smoking near flammable gas tanks
- re-enacting the William Tell apple thing
- beheaded on hoverbikes
- devoured by werewolf Doc
- angry Lost-in-Space looking robot
- gas leak (the silent killer)
- shot by 21
- bludgeoned to death by fake-Shaggy in Viva Los Muertos
- #7's shrunk inside Doc

Dean ran with scissors, while Hank jumped off the roof dressed as Batman and was crushed by a satellite.

Nice. I wonder if they are keeping track of all this. They have one left for Hank and two for Dean.

Also the concept of 'the sevens' is great because it means Brock and Doc had no clue where they boys were and just kind of gave up looking for them after a while.

I had assumed that they killed the other boy off if one died (so that he wouldn't remember his brother died when he himself inevitably died). That would bring the total to 15 (there was also the one with the spikes, where Doc and Brock had those moustaches) but the one in Viva Los Muertos could have happened after Powerless in the Face of Death.

I'm overthinking this, aren't I?

In the ep with the Goliath serum Brock explains how he would kill Hank if need be "A quick snap of the neck in your sleep" where Hank then says "You've thought about this haven't you Brock" Brock then says "Yes, yes I have"
That's from memory so it may be misquoted a little but that's the gist...
Is it bad that I know that from memory?

I really hope it isn't a bad thing. Because I do the same. Haha.

Heh, I've memorized entire scenes with Phantom Limb. :P

Anyways, I thought this was a solid episode - not great by Venture standards I wouldn't say, but I'm too excited that the show's back to care.

It's a bit distressing how much of this show I can recite.
