thehefnerWatching Venture Bros season finale.
ME: I apologize in advance for the two dozen times I'll be saying "Double up, unn, unn!" over the next couple weeks.
HENCHGIRL: (with resignation) Couple weeks, nothing. You're gonna max out before bedtime.
Bear in mind, she speaks as someone who's had to endure me repeatedly saying "Boom! Yummy" in a poor Shore Leave impersonation.
Updates may come over the next commercial breaks.
...
"Meow." I will not become Rusty Venture when I grow up. I will not become Rusty Venture when I grow up. I will not become Rusty Venture when I grow up. (Quoth Henchgirl: hahaha, oh yes you will!)
...
God, please, please don't let the "What is a Rusty Venture?" gag go on any longer. Please. It's actually literally gonna make Henchgirl throw up.
...
WELL. About time we saw him and/or her again! Meow. ... Damn it, it's already happening.
...
Nooooooo, is that truly the end of the 24 saga? God, it evokes memories of the last couple episodes of Cold Feet. ... No one has any idea what that is, do you?
...
FUCK YEAH RETURN OF GO TEAM VENTURE even if it was rather subdued. Even melancholic.
...
Oh Gary.
...
So don't be surprised if the commentary becomes incomprehensible blather from my mind-blown asblsajsaa&&^^n.
...
GENERAL! NOOOOOOOOO.
...
Oh. Never mind. Yay? Yay!
...
Damn, she is cold.
...
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
...
I know this is exactly why you guys read my LJ: you're in it for the witty, eloquent critical insights.
...
OH GOD DEAN NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO
...
Welp, Dean, he's right, but y'know what? He's a smug pretty boy who gets to sleep with Orpheus' ex-wife, so screw him, and go you, you poor schmuck you. I just hope that this isn't the first step to Dean becoming his father.
Good ending. I'm both very relieved and a bit disappointed that it didn't end with a "WHAT? NO! FUCK NO NO NO COME BACK NO" cliffhanger like last season's. So there we go. Time to wait another ridiculous amount of time for Season 5.
...
So wait, were the prostitutes actually Mol's girls, or was she lying to screw with Brock? If they were, then damn, Rusty saved the day by being a horrible, horrible person. If not, then Rusty really outdid himself in the horrible, horrible person department.

Date: 2010-11-22 04:32 pm (UTC)For one thing, the regression, as you mention, of Dean and Rusty. With Rusty, it's a bit disappointing, as I'd really hoped to see more growth from him, but I was also fully prepared to see him continue to be a horrible person. The real redemption, I was hoping, would be for his sons to carry out.
In that respect, I feel like Dean has crossed over into a dark territory of resentment that, unless he pulls himself out of it, has him right on the path of becoming his father.
The Dean/Triana subplot has always bothered me, probably because my teenage self sympathizes with the idiot. Look, I know exactly where his "fuck you" is coming from. I never did that to any of my friends giving me the "get over it" advice, but damn it, at that point, it's not the advice that's going to sink in till later. As the AV Club said, sometimes it's the only thing you CAN say. And again, the Outrider is not really the sorta person I'd want to hear it from, either. Unless he went through a severe awkward phase, I'd doubt he has any personal experience with what Dean's going through.
I'd really hoped the Dean/Triana subplot was finished as of last half season, with that elegant ending. I don't quite understand why they brought it back. Let her go off, and let Dean have his sweet, sweet delusion. Argh, but I guess, such delusions live to be shattered in the Venture-verse.
Man... this whole episode was a climax of unrequited love. One of my least favorite subjects ever. It never ends well even in the best of circumstances.
