    It is the intro to 'I Know Why the Caged Bird Kills.' It is the episode that introduces Dr. Killinger. Not one of my favorite episodes but the intro is my favorite....'cuz I used to do corporate accounting. ;) 

    That whole episode is full of win. The intro plus 21 & 24 recruiting new henchmen is hilarious.

    Mayhaps he's living in a secret room in Monarch's cocoon still? Here's hoping he returns in season 4, he is kind've Doc Venture's only other enemies.

    Damn good start, but they still kind've avoided the subject of Dr. Girlfriend (Wife?)'s confession.

    Yeah they stated that some time ago (maybe season 2 DVD comentary). Still I'm sure they'll be enough to fill up the season. Besides Underbheit is sort of so-so most of time, at least as far as I'm concerned (and I guess they feel the same) :)

    I never really found the Baron to be that entertaining.

    However every time the Monarch and/or 21 and 24 are on screen I cannot help but laugh.

    Gaaah. I would kill for a Monarch action figure.

    Well, they never told us exactly what she said, but The Monarch said it had something to do with them being at the Guild, fighting the robots, being put through the inquisition/interrogation/crucible. :lol

    I think it had to do with her telling the Monarch about what happened at his trial.

    I think the whole episode was kind of the explanation of what they both did before they met and became The Monarch and Dr. Girlfriend. Although the idea about the trial is pretty good.

    I loved the "I now pronounce you villain and villainess."

    And I'm so in on the t-shirt thing. Don't have money to buy into the set, but I'll certainly be picking the first one up!

    You know what was awesome? Six months ago before Adult Swim's website began completely cutting off the world from it's videos.

    Loved Dr. Henry Killinger and the return of Dr. Orpheus. Loved the show they put on for the general.

    Watched the new episode last night "The Doctor is Sin"

    Caution there are some possible SPECULATION and SPOILERS in my comments.. just avoid if you don't want to read them!

    I had heard some spoilers on this episode, mostly the appearance of Dr. Henry Killinger and sure enough he's in it. I don't know why I like him so much, I guess it's just his voice and his attitude. The dry, monotone voice is just great for delivering some of his lines. I like some of his characterization that comes out in this episode.

    He's like a life coach to Doctor Venture in this episode. But the twist is: he's helping him become a villain. Didn't see that coming at all. I love it how the Boys really like him, but Brock has a bad feeling about him.

    I liked where they've gone with some of the animation in this one. The moving walkway gave the Venture Compound depth and scale.

    Any episode with Dr. Orpheus and the Triads is usually pretty funny. Same way with Pete White and Master Billy. They are great support for the Ventures.

    I don't know for sure where they were going with the Jonas and Rusty section of the episode. It's pretty obvious who's the best now. I hate to say that I kinda figured we'd see something like that... just from the first time Jonas is realized. He's the prodigy. Rusty was more of a sidekick.

    I like the flashback that happens when Rusty stands in the bag. The euphoric imagery is always cool. Sometimes its hard to tell reality from fantasy though. Anywho, I really got to thinking about the part where Rusty and Jonas Sr. are featured. It's like Rusty wants to live up the Venture name, but he couldn't when his super cool dad was around.

    And I think secretly he loathes his father. Thats why I think the part of the dream where Rusty shoots Jonas Sr. maybe hinting that this actually might be how Jonas Sr. died. Once again, thats all the speculation talking.

    I also like the aspect of Brock feeling useless while Henry Killinger is there. Dr. Venture needs people to "arch" him if Brock is going to have a job.

    Not really much else so sum up the episode. Other than I'm looking forward to another. It was better than the premiere IMO.

    And I wish I could get the t-shirt for this week and last week. So if anyone wants to donate $250 to me...
