Dunwich Asylum is terrific. Batman reference and Lovecraft reference in one fell swoop.

That was great: taking the name of another of Lovecraft's fictional towns.

In the establishing shot of the Asylum, you can see the name over the gate is spelled DUNWITCH. It might be reading too much into it, but it could be that Hammer & Publick are taking a stance on the pronunciation of everyone's favorite crumbling New England hamlet filled with fish-men: Lovecraft fans are divided over saying it DUNNICH and DUN-WITCH.

Only there are no fish-men in Dunwich, that's Innsmouth.

I did love the design of the asylum's exterior. It was one of the better "establishing shot" backgrounds of the season, I think.

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
