Already preordered!

Also, I keep forgrtting about VB being on Saturday night now. That was a horrible move!

As good as this episode is. There are a number of continuity errors which have been touched upon before. The biggest being the conversation between Dr. Gilrfriend and Phantom Limb. Especially when you consider the events in Shadowman 9.

Well, these problems with continuity are actually just problems with what Dr. Girlfriend tells the Monarch and what he allows her to know. In 'Shadowman 9', it is revealed that Monarch worked for Phantom Limb but Dr. Girlfriend did not know. Monarch could not ever reveal his past without exposing himself as a liar, if you have ever been with a woman you would know that once a lie is established, you must protect it from her knowing. Knowing this the Monarch would be hard put to acknowledge her employ with Phantom Limb. Dude. You can not poke holes in JP and Doc's work, they cover their bases too well. If you do not believe, just watch from the beginning. They are very capable storytellers. If you believe otherwise then you are a philistine who needs to go back to middle school English.

Actually the backstory on Dr. Girlfriend is a little confused. We've learned that she was introduced to super-villainy by Phantom Limb when he was still prof. Phantomas and was dating her. But instead of becoming his "Dr. Girlfriend" she goes off as a solo Lady Au Pair, then later Numbering Two-ing for Truckulese and maybe others before reuniting with Phantom Limb as Queen Etheria. At which point the Monarch, then shadowman #9 seduces her and takes her away as Dr. Girlfriend. In Tag Sale, You're It she claims not to know who Phantom Limb but obviously she does and The Monarch ought to know that she does.

This is like the Monarch claiming they're swingers when most of the time he's complaining that people can see her...."dirty pillows!"

I don't see how any of that is contradictory, beb. It all seems to fit as part of 1 story as what MonkeyMan says.

I think her delivery in Tag Sale is supposed to insinuate that she does know him but she doesn't want to talk to the Monarch about him.

And just because they swing doesn't mean he's not an insane jealous guy, especially where Phantom Limb is concerned.

The issue is the Monarch knows she knows Phantom Limb and she knows that he knows that. The night he seduced her, he was The Monarch, so he couldn't not know she was Phantom Limb's #2, as it was Phantom Limb's party in the first place. Doesn't take anything away from it but it is an inconsistancy.

Well, Phantom Limb offered to #2 for HER. That didn't make much sense that he'd be willing to step down as a top Guild villian to be a #2. Especially when she was just his #2 not all that long before. And he never had her do much anyway other than be seen with him while wearing her costume. Then he wants to let her lead and he follows? I just chalk it all up to Doc and JP changing some of the backstory as the show and characters eveloved.
