Amazing that something can be so horrible and so wonderful at the same time...
I'm going to have to watch this episode a third time and make a list of all the fantastic quotable lines.
A quick couple things I noticed:
- I saw on, I think, Publick's website that they actually had to do some covering of naked female parts. I thought to myself “holy crap, they are actually going to show a nude female?” Nope.
- The opening sequence was, I thought, pretty clearly an homage to the Saving Private Ryan D-Day run up the beach. As for the P.O.V. neck snap, that was actually one of the cooler scenes in Chronicles of Riddick. I liked that movie, I don't care what anyone says. And then once they were in the rebuild, it was pretty close to Robocop.
- I'm Goddamn retarded. I just didn't see the famous crazies when I saw the VB version of the scoobie gang. I didn't know about militant lesbian chick, but that's no excuse, I shoulda caught the others.
- I mentioned this before, but it's worth bringing up again because of how noticeable it's getting... the camera work is really terrific in this episode. The pans and zooms and tilts and different interesting angles and so on are really classy. It was prevalent in Caged Bird too, and not something you see a lot of in animation, and didn't see at all in season 1.
- This was some of the most distressing music since the clone slug theme from Powerless.
- I think I might be a tapestry of quiet desperation.
- Jonestown.
- Brock's expression as he was riding the dolphin was awesome.
- All the clone slugs in the tanks made me think of “The 6th Day” starring the Governator. Not the greatest movie, but it had some good stuff.
- While I'm seeing connections between the crazy stuff in this and other forms of media, there was a line in short-lived British show The Mighty Boosh that went: “My uncle once punched a man so hard his legs became trombones. It was genius.” It didn't make any sense in that context, but I'd imagine “You hit him so hard he's got an afro now” wouldn't either if we didn't know the story. Maybe you just had to be there.
- In last week's discussion there was a thread about how Venture Brothers seems to draw a brighter crew. Well I just thought I'd bring up I'm two-timing you all with the somethingawful.com forums, and there are actually 3 separate long-running threads on VB there. They arn't as good combined as this one is on its own, but the fact that they exist makes me happy.

your not the only one retarded...
i did catch the son of sam references between shaggy and scooby, but I had no idea who Patty Hearst is... here a wiki article:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patty_Hearst
as for velma, I thought her character was great and had no idea she was based off of a real person, I was thinking she was just playing off of a stereotype.
Great episode, but I felt that the action sequences were a bit choppy in the opening scene. Maybe it was my internet connection lagging. I guess I will see tonight!

Patty Hearst was the granddaughter of William Randolph Hearst, the tycoon best known for his newspaper buisness he was also a Politician for a while. The movie Citizen Kane is a film, which at the time was verry contriversial, that was inspired by his life.
Patty Hurst was abducted by the Symbionese Liberation Army in 1974 and ended up joining them. She was mentioned in "The Incredible Mr. Brisby" episode, and in the notes for said episode. she also became an actress later in life (she was on bio-dome & pete and pete.)
...And now you know more than you ever really cared to on the subject.

This isn't the first time that Patty Hearst has been mentioned. In "The Incredible Mr. Brisby" when the O.C. Liberation Front kidnaps Hank and Dean and then puts the "special" Buzy Bee hats on them one of the guys asks the leader if he "..turned those things all the way up to Patty Hearst!?" Hoo-ray for the Simbanese Liberation Army!

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
