I'd like to give Jackson and Doc a LOT of credit for revealing / confirming / tying-up many backstory threads. Many of the long-time Venture fanboys (us) already widely believed many of the things revealed (not all) to be the case for many years (ranging between almost-confirmed and speculative-but-probable), but the casual viewer needs these underlying threads brought to the forefront to understand the world in which these characters live. Now us die-hards and casual viewers are on mostly even ground; lets pick up on other embedded subplots to speculate over.

Someone posted somewhere that they thought this had a series finale feel due to all the revelations, but I think they couldn't be more wrong. This gives the characters a chance to deal with their history as it becomes known to them; ending the series on something like this would be very anti-climatic. It's far more interesting to see how the revelations affect the characters as their stories continue to move forward in a typical Venture Bros. universe way. This gives the creators a lot of freedom to tell a lot more interesting stories of these characters and allow new story arcs (and sub-plots) to be told.

Season 7 is off to a great start! What's next? I can't wait to see!

It did feel like a finale: the one we never got for season 6. This is it. And the extra waiting time paid of big time!

This was huge. They laid out the plot quite some time ago (season 5ish?) and they followed through with it. Well done. This was an amazing hour of Venture Bros, maybe even the best, even with Brock on the sideline.
