From Fresh Air with Terry Gross yesterday. He was a very engaging, interesting interviewee.

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.
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.
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.

Ooh I just got all tingly.
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.
Yeah I assumed it was Kato.
