The Venture Brothers, Shadowman 9: In the Cradle of Destiny, 6/1, Season Three begins
My pardon for jumping the gun a bit and getting this new thread started, but technically this episode has already premiered on the Adult Swim website:
http://www.adultswim.com/video/?epis...1a35104dc30003
I believe Adult Swim premiers their new episodes on their website on Friday nights before the weekend TV premier. (edit to add: aka the Fix on Adult Swim: http://www.adultswim.com/adultswimfix/)
Anyway, starting this thread for any discussion of the new episode and the new season. I may hold off on watching this until my TiVo gets this Sunday night; the PC I am currently at does not have sound, anyway. 
The episode appears to be a heavily flash-back based episode about how The Monarch and Dr. Girlfriend met.

Interesting choice to not have the Venture brothers appear in the Venture Bros. season premiere...

Loved the use of Holst's "Jupiter." Almost better than 21 & 24 singing "Mars" last year. And I died when the Moppets started whoopin' on the henchmen.
My fav line:
"So we're not going to sit through hours of me abusing myself to Markie Post?"
I really missed this show. And it's great they're animating in HD/16:9.

It appears to be a pattern now, along with the first episode of Season Two, with using non-standard opening credits and a non-standard storyline to open up the new season. This didn't feel like a typical Venture Brothers episode, and neither did the first episode of Season Two. Lots of exposition and back story.

I noticed that. Much higher quality than the last season, which was better in turn than the first season.
They never clearly indicate what Dr. Girlfriend's big revelation was except I gather she was working for the Guild somehow to spy on the Monarch or that she had applied to the Guild for them to be a Duo or something.
I liked that the Moppets turned out to be pint-sized versions of Brock. Much cooler than I expected!

Yes, but the odd thing is that the Cartoon Network HD feed aired it stretched, like everything else, so it was still letterboxed. Very odd choice.
They did the same thing to the Ben 10 live-action movie. It makes no sense to have an HD channel if you're not going to air your 16X9 shows as 16X9...

Since Venture Brothers chatter is fairly light, I don't see the need for individual threads for each episode; this thread may do nicely for an ongoing Venture Brothers Season Three thread, maybe...or maybe not, in any case here are the names of some upcoming episodes:
Quote:
http://mantiseye.com/?item=266
June 1, 2008
Third Episode(7:44pm EST)
I know Shadowman 9 hasn't even aired yet, but the third episode of the season (after The Doctor is Sin) will be called 'Billy Quizboy and the Invisible Hand'. You may begin speculating on what will happen in that episode... now! Also don't forget the Shadowman 9 discussion thread right below here. Enjoy!
Edit (11:33pm): Thanks to Kuiosikle in the comments for mentioning this thread on PRoV which has some more episode names:
* My Dinner With Hatred - June 22, 2008
* Enter the Bad Seed - June 29, 2008
* Dr. Guymn, Medicine Woman - July 6, 2008
Sadly no source for these yet, but I'll totally add them when I find a source. The lack of pre-knowing all the episodes titles this season is kind of a bummer.
Update #2: (1:55am) - Nais over on the VB Wiki was nice enough to post his source, so I'm pretty confident these are accurate. Awesome sleuthing!
|
So this is the Season Three lineup so far:
Shadowman 9: In the Cradle of Destiny - June 1, 2008
The Doctor is Sin - June 8, 2008
Billy Quizboy and the Invisible Hand - June 15, 2008
My Dinner With Hatred - June 22, 2008
Enter the Bad Seed - June 29, 2008
Dr. Guymn, Medicine Woman - July 6, 2008
IIRC, "The Doctor is Sin" involves the "Mary Poppins for supervillains", aka Dr. Henry Killinger, showing up to "help" Dr. Venture discover his inner supervillain, or something.
"Billy Quizboy and the Invisible Hand", I'm guessing, involves a lot of backstory on Billy Quizboy, and possibly Phantom Limb as well. We've seen promos with a young Billy at OSI and a young Phantom Limb hooked up to some kind of apparatus that turned his arms and legs invisible if flashbacks from Season Two are to be believed.
"My Dinner With Hatred" - promos show what appears to be Sargent Hatred's hover tank, and Brock beating up what appear to be Sargent Hatred's henchmen, my guess is that these are from this episode.
No guesses about the other titles.

The premiere episode left me a little cold. I would have preferred it to start off with a "Venture Brothers" episode after having been without it for so long. This one would have played better as a second or third episode.
Plot wise though that may not have worked.

They had set up, at the end of Season Two, for the beginning of Season Three to be about The Monarch and Dr. Girlfriend, I don't see how they could have avoided doing the episode this way. Trust me on this, this episode will grow on you - much as the equally odd first episode of Season Two grew on people - and anyway it's back to the usual Dr. Venture, the brothers, and Brock for the rest of the season starting this Sunday.

I thought it was a great opening. The Monarch and Dr Girlfriend are my favorite characters, so I had no problem with that...

There is something comforting about Dr. Girlfriend...I could never put my finger on it.  |

Must be the odd combination of throaty, husky, older woman's voice, like the chain smoking middle aged waitress at a truck stop who calls you "hun", combined with the super hot young Jackie O looks. Too much beauty can be intimidating, so you cut that back a bit with the voice....the voice then is oddly reassuring, once you get used to it.
Speaking of Jackson Publick and Doc Savage's penchant for gender bending cartoon characters, "Dr. Guymn, Medicine Woman" appears to refer to one of the new promos on Adult Swim which shows Brock meeting with and fighting with an extremely muscular "butch" female (no, it wasn't post-op Hunter Gathers). "Dr. Guymn, Medicine Woman" Guymn = Guy womyn, obviously. 
Should be interesting.

Oh, by the by, the guy who does the Mantis Eye website has a Twitter account now, though he has only used it so far last month when he was at Comic Con:

Next week: The Invisible Hand of Fate.

Names Are Changing(10:25pm EST)
posted by Mike - 2 Comments
As may be the case, the AS Schedule seems to have changed the name of next week's episode, formerly Billy Quizboy and the Invisible Hand to Invisible Hand of Fate. It's also possible the episode was swapped for another but given the similarity of the titles I would imagine that Billy Quizboy and the Invisible Hand was a working title that was changed because it, perhaps, gives away something about the plot. I'm just making guesses here though. Either way you have been informed.

Yup...somehow or another, the working titles of some of this season's episodes made their way out into the public sphere while they were still only half-baked. Next week's episode is officially titled "The Invisible Hand of Fate," and the following week will be "Home Is Where The Hate Is." After that will be "Dr. Quymn, Medicine Woman," "The Buddy System," and "What Goes Down, Must Come Up." I couldn't tell you the names of any past those since we haven't finished editing them yet, and that's pretty much when we decide what the official title will be.

Cartoon Network started everything three minutes early Sunday night, so the first three minutes of "The Doctor is Sin" will be at the end of Family Guy, if you recorded that.

A wee bit overpriced methinks, but I wish I knew about it last week. I want a Guild of Calamitous Intent shirt!
Good episode. Just wish there was more Orpheus' traditional wailing and gesticulating madly schtick. (especially since he got evicted) That never gets old.
Really cheesed that they started early though. (though it's not the first time it's happened) Missed the opener with the laborers. I think I'll have to modify the season pass to start five mins early.

Don't forget the overly-dramatic music whenever he's speaking. That always cracks me up.

Or just make sure you are recording the show before it. If you miss it, you can still catch it on Adult Swim Fix, too.
Someone has posted the information for the next episode on wiki; don't read it if you want to avoid spoilers....I could not resist though; looks like a fantastic episode:

Based on the plot summary, this appears to be the episode with

Which reminds me, I LOVE the music to this show! J.G. Thirlwell is awesome!
I've read there is a soundtrack coming out. When it does arrive, I'm all over it!

Awesome news that a soundtrack is forthcoming! I hope that some of the pop stuff (like the Season 2 opening song: "Everybody's Free") is in there too.
