Venture Brothers special: "All This and Gargantua II"
Post your reviews and comments here!
First of all, love the title. (Glad they didn't go for "A Very Venture Space".) In fact, the whole episode is good. Maybe a bit too cluttered to be truly brilliant, but I enjoyed every second.
Now, since this episode was pretty much Shocking Twist Central, the rest of my scattered opinions will be placed under the spoiler tag.
A must-see for all Venture Brothers fans. There's just so much in there...

Good episode!
I enjoyed it.
But I'm trying not to think too deeply about it.
also, have you seen this Chris? Because you should probably see it.

It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone’s fault. If it was Us, what did that make Me? After all, I’m one of Us. I must be. I’ve certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We’re always one of Us. It’s Them that do bad things. - Jingo, Terry Pratchett

Re: Venture Brothers special: "All This and Gargantua II"
It was indeed awesome. (All the VB specials have been awesome so far, IMO. In fact, I'm considering making a post in the OFF & Futurama discussion board about how I think they pretty much went the opposite route of the Futurama movies, and were all the better for it.) But this one was even more epic than usual.
I agree that Hank does seem to be the less mature of the brothers (mentally, not physically). Of course, they're both still teenagers, and that age can be... problematic.
Agree with everything else you said.

I'd actually be willing to say Wild Blue Yonder worked, but the rest of them aren't standing the test of time for me (And less said about BWABB the better).
It's interesting to me because it seemed like Hank would emotionally/mentally mature faster than Dean, especially after he entered into his sullen denim jacket phase while Dean was trying to attach himself to dog!Hitler. but then they reversed that when Triana and Dean broke up.
I'm trying to remember where Mol is even supposed to be stationed at this point. I need Season 5 DVDs in my life.
