The author of the Giant Boy Detective that Dean is reading is none other than Jackson Publick. Additionally, if you look VERY closely, parts of the titles of other books in the series can be made out. The only one fully readable is the last one: "Giant Boy Detective Goes West".

Oh, yeah. When Torrid was using the Venture bathroom in Fallen Arches, the TP he accidently sets ablaze is to the right (viewer's left) of the toilet, which is the opposite side from where it is in the above mentioned scene. And no, I don't have a bathroom fixation, but I do have to go #2. Hope I'm not out of shit tickets!

Two things I'm still trying to figure out:
1. Brock's sweater when he's living with Summers and Sasquatch (the logo where there's an A with a star in the middle, and the left side of the A looks like a hockey stick) looks really damn familiar but I can't place it.
2. What's the deal with Hank's fox mask when he's trying to snipe at the nazis? Oct. 25, 2009, 1:14pm

One more thing to add. There's a reference to that Tim Allen movie, The Santa Clause in both Brock Sampson's weight/ facial hair pattern when he puts on the pounds and in his goodbye speech to Hank at the end of the episode--it's almost entirely lifted from the speech Tim Allen gives his son in the movie when he goes away to be Santa.

One possibility, there are others.
1)SPHINX never went defunct. Gather's defection was real (as in it was truthful to the reasons listed in Assassinanny 911) and he wanted Brock with him the whole time, and just needed a way to get him out of the Venture Compound. Brock was totally ready to kill him in that ep, so if Gathers just came out and asked Brock to leave with him, I doubt he would've.
2) SPHINX was defunct at one point, and our old friend Phantom Limb resurrected it, gathering as many ex-OSI agents as possible to topple the OSI and the Guild. Oct. 27, 2009, 12:40am

Wait! Where was there any idication that Phantom Limb had anything to do with SPHINX? Did I miss some clue? Not saying it's implausible mind you, but I can't see Hunter working to Limb. We can be pretty sure that Limb WILL be back this season from the S4 trailer (Sousaphone!), and I'm betting it'll be in episode 4, "The Revenge Society". Limb's m.o. would probably be to somehow get the O.S.I. and the Guild to go all out at one other.

Mind you, there was no real hint that Limb has anything to do with SPHINX, but a number of people have mentioned that possibility, so I figured it was worth mentioning. It's pure conjecture at this point.
And with as many people watching out for Limb, I doubt his being in charge of SPHINX would be made very public. Look at David Bowie. Only a handful of people knew he was the Sovereign Oct. 27, 2009, 3:30am
