So, a few notes on tonight's ep, hopefully cryptic as always for the Venture virgin:
- To add to the previous Bowie and Depeche Mode refs, we now have The Doors. And Chinatown goes on the cinematic homage list too.
- At least three "Da-yam!" moments tonight, with some extra feeling for the mail-order bride one.
- Good to see more of Brock's past. The Swedish murder machine is growing on me a little as a character.
- Nice interweaving of action sequences towards the end; they're quite fond of that.
- If we take some of tonight's throwaway references seriously, the U.S. gov't in the Ventureverse is pretty scary: "The Second American Revolution - the invisible one!" and "The President isn't the President. You know that!"
Thumbs up. Go Team Venture!
