Jayne (Husband): Oh, I think you might wanna reconsider that last part. See, I married me a powerful ugly creature. Mal (Wife): How can you say that? How can you shame me in front of new people? Jayne (Husband): If I could make you purtier, I would. Mal (Wife): You are not the man I met a year ago.

Movies Rainn Wilson, From 'Office' Drone To 'Rocker' Star

Twitchy undertaker, cubicle fiend, sassy convenience-store clerk — Rainn Wilson has long gravitated toward eccentric characters. But is The Office actor attempting the leap to sex symbol through his titular role in The Rocker? Given the hair-metal coif and the still-goofy humor, probably not.

In costume.

Risking back injury.

Four tiered.

Though my favorite is the 21 and 24 cosplay duo.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

So, I caught up with the Venture Brothers. I agree with Corwood - I have no idea what this show is anymore (besides convoluted, weird and oddly compelling). There are moments of humor (sometimes LOL-worthy), but I can't remotely call it a comedy anymore. I think it's some kind of work of genius - I mean the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen parody with Samuel Clemens and Oscar Wilde? Brilliant! - but I'm not sure it even belongs with the other Adult Swim shows at this point.

I thought the Lepidopterists episode was funny, but otherwise it's been low on laughs. I did enjoy the last episode though.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

What I've found odd is how many episodes this season have focused on flashbacks.

Maybe they are gearing up for a big Watchmen tribute.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Ooh I just got all tingly.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

So who killed Dr. Venture? The episode seemed to imply that it was his not-actually-mute bodyguard, but it also hinted that maybe it was Rusty himself?

I thought that it was the bodyguard, since he felt all guilty.
