I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

I thought overall the episode was pretty good. Can't wait for the next one.

My Stanza!

All is well that ends in pizza.

I thought it was a bit light on the brothers Venture. And Brock only with the cameo.

Strange to be in here. I've never been in this thread.

Right, but we did get a decent amount of exposition about the history of characters which was good. Not to mention it was pretty funny regardless. The teasers seem to have plenty Venture-ness so I'd assume we have plenty to come.

I joined this thread just so I could talk about VB. This is where it seemed like it was happening.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I love the Monarch and Dr. Girlfriend so I was keen to get their backstory. And we even got to see Dr. Girlfriend with her hair "like that girl in Republica" that the Monarch had noted before.

I need to watch again, though, because Matilda was a crazy squirmy fuss monkey when I watched it and I missed stuff.

They weren't even in it, were they?

I liked it a lot, although it was less funny than backstory-ific.

Plus "Einar's lawyers were ready to sign, but Bjork's wouldn't budge!"

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Thanks, sumi, that was great! Bookmarking it now to make sure Emmett can read it when he gets home tonight.

Did anyone notice in VB 3.1 the monarch didn't have that Red Dragon tattoo on his back.

It washed off in the shower while the hooker was escaping through the lake of acid.

I wish I had season 2 on DVD.... For shame, Victor, for shame.
