Yeah, love VB, but was disappointed here. They'd been setting the bar so high thematically toward the end of 4.1, particularly with P & P, that this was a big let down. Sure, lots of clever references, but did we take the characters or overall plot anywhere new? 21 is still crushing on Dr. G. Monarch hates Venture, and gets caught up with his own obsessions. Brock kicks tail. Dean and Hank are clones. Yadda. And hated the Monarch's song - missed opportunity. I think back to the start of season 2 - now that was a great opener. This was just another episode; more filler than thriller.

Also, St. Hatred is a one-trick pony: reformed pedophile who is a kindly, hugging mercenary. You don't have to put Brock back in the bodyguard role, but come on, time for someone new!

Jackson said very, very specifically that this would NOT be a season-opener episode and that it would be "just another episode".

Jackson and Doc have also said that they hope to make the show have more elements of characters having wacky adventures again like in the old days instead of just constantly settling into more canon. I for one was extremely excited to see the characters going off on a complete, stupid tangent for the first time in a while.
