This one fell kind of flat for me. It wasn't terrible by any means, but the whole thing was kind of blah. Of course, that may have been what they were going for, since Sgt. Hatred's party sucked so bad, and they wanted to transfer that feeling to the viewers.
Definitely one of my least favorites of the series.

Now that was the first completely great episode of the season. Dr. Zinn, Dean & Triana, Dean going berserk, Brock barely controlled rage, and a nice twist at the end.

While it was a great episode, I thought this was the weakest of the season so far, and I called that "twist" the second that kid showed up.
BTW, does the audio on this show kinda weird to anyone else? It's like the background music, the sound effects and the dialog haven't been mixed properly or something.

It was definitely better than last week, but I just wish they would get back to having some actual adventures. I'm tired of the "standing around and chatting" type of shows. It's like watching the old yard sale episode every week.

Wow, so many hilarious Hank and Dean shenanigans! Nancy and Drew need to come back for another episode.
"So where have you been?" "Oh nowhere, just getting my ass handed to me by a f**king gorilla!"

Yeah, that was a great episode. I wonder what the shirt of the week will be. The other episodes I was able to guess off the bat. But with this one.. I have no idea. Maybe a boxing gorilla related shirt?

So anyone think that Dr. Venture and and Quymn are related? They look alike, we know that twins are common in the Venture family (Rusty and Jonas, Hank and Dean, so maybe Nancy and Drew too), and the mirroring of their families (and jets) was hammered throughout the episode. Plus it seems unlikely that Colonel Gentleman is the father of anyone's kids.
Maybe that's why Dr. Venture was huddled in a fetal position at the end of the episode -- he realized that he nearly boned his sister?
