Dr. Quymn, Medicine Capsule
I am willing to bet I can mangle each episode of the season for the 'capsule done' updates, and if not I am sure as hell going to try. Anyways, Dr. Quymn capsule/notes/screenshots are up. As always let me know about anything I missed (I always miss some stuff) or whatever else you want.

I have been shouting about the Every Which Way But Loose reference over on the "discuss the episode" board since it premiered! Clearly it's just a random ref. but the ape's name in the movie was Clyde and he often fought along side Clint in bar brawls and the like.
Also, the fertility idol situation is seemingly a take-off on the opening of Raiders of the Lost Arc where Indy nabs a fertility idol from a temple protected by a dark-blowing native tribe.
The were-o-dile sub plot and the ending were obviously nods to Scooby Doo style villains (as explained by the Pirate Captain during his spiel in The Buddy System)

Yeah, I was going to mention that, except add that in typical Dr. Venture style he actually got shot by the darts. Love the failure motif of this show.

You missed something, it was caught by Todd Alcott on his Live Journal. The name of Quymn's bodygaurd references an advertisement from the 70's for cigarettes. This reference is further cemented when the bodyguard uses the catch phrase, "You've come a long way" before giving Quymn a cigarette.

You missed Colonel Gentleman eying a young David Bowie and then making a Bowie song reference, "Oh! You Pretty Things" off of the album Hunky Dory. I think the character was even modeled after Bowie off of his appearance on the cover of his first album from 1967, as seen here: http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B000006P8I.01.LZZZZZZZ.jpg
And Bowie has slept with men before, that's no secret. He met his first wife because they were both screwing the same guy.

You know, that makes *sense*.
If I were a gifted rock star and shapeshifter with a up and coming presence in the Guild, if I saw just how lousy a dad Jonas was, wouldn't I put into law something that protects the poor kids of these adventurers?
Besides, if you kill off the kids, who will you have to arch, in the next generation?

Being promiscuous doesn't make him a terrible father. Personally, I think that people are trying to place Jonas Sr. in the failure paradigm of the show, when really he is an architype of success. His only real flaw is how annoyingly perfect he is, and his legacy looms over everyone else in the Ventureverse and exposes their flaws by comparison.

I don't know why anyone is disappointed to find out that Jonas Sr. is just as flawed as any of the other characters. I believe, for example, that it's already been mentioned by Doc and Jackson that dragging your child into harm's way *constantly*, when they should just be doing regular kid stuff -- not really the most responsible parenting.
Plus, it makes Rusty's pathos much more palpable. I'm starting to feel really sorry for him this season, which is good, because before he was just kind of an asshole. Living in your father's shadow is one thing, but having a father who does the sorts of things that they show him doing in this week's episode is a different story. Also - he's a philanderer, which is immoral and sets a bad example.

Well the line is a Bowie reference for sure but I am still not entirely convinced that the guy at the party was Bowie. I'm obviously not saying that there's no way it was him, but there's not really much to go on other than them having the same colored hair and giving this guy a late 60's haircut similar to Bowie's. I'll probably stick it in there just in case but I don't know if people are reading into it way too much.

I think the following screenshot from TV Squad shows the uncomfortable postion was in Dean concerning his "encounter" with the Nacy and Drew (through I would tend to disagree if I were in him).

That shot is priceless! The best part is the bra stuffing perched on Dean's chest.
Obviously Dean was uncomfortable with the whole thing, although mostly because he thought that the girls were the Wereodile. That's the whole joke! The over-sexed Quymn twins are the opposite of the naive Venture twins.
Also, the shocked expression on everyone's face in that shot is due to the fact that Ginny had just busted in on Doc and Tara and was making a ruckus.
