    The funny thing about that ep is, I had been trying to think for a couple of days of the name of the artist who did the Yes covers (Roger Dean.) Sure, I could've looked it up easily enough, but it bugs me when I can't think of something every sci-fi & fantasy art geek should know. Then, I watched this ep and Dr. Venture goes and mentions it! That's why I love The Venture Bros.--come for the cool plots and awesome characters, stay for the cultural references. #theventurebros

    Best. Episode. Ever.

    Seriously, if I need to be creative about something, I'll either do ambient or prog or (better yet) progressive ambient.

    Venture Bros. is in top form this season. #theventurebros

    This episode is further evidence that Thirwell is a musical god.
    He put together a sound that was more like my memories of Yes than actual Yes. #theventurebros

    @Miranda Kali (Desperate But Not Serious): Thirlwell is one of the most amazing parts of the venture bros. I mean it's a great and amazingly funny show with talented voice actors and amazing art that also employs one of the most kick ass musicians ever to do its score! And as you pointed out Thirlwell can make a song sound exactly like a band, sometimes I'm so glad Hammer and Publick don't get to use popular songs so he has to make facsimiles. #theventurebros

    White Collar is becoming a collecting pool -- it stars Bryce Larkin from Chuck, has Wendy Watson from the Middleman and Charlie from Fringe as FBI agents, with Kelly from Saved by the Bell in there for good measure.

    It's a very watchable show, too, but it helps that its got a lot of very likable actors. #v

    @jp182: Potential? The early ones are some of the best ones. If you showed me almost any of the early ones I would of thought it was a show with years of stories already built up.

    Its a testament to the show that they can do that. Dive right in and the world is already lush and feels complete. That they can continually add to it and up it is nothing short of amazing. #theventurebros

    @ManchuCandidate: Have you been able to see any of the new shows? I can't really do bittorent, so I'm looking for anywhere where I can watch it streaming.

    What rilly pisses me off is that Adult Swim blocks the official streaming version for Canada. And they wonder why people pirate... #theventurebros

    This is one of those shows that really make me miss having cable.

    On another note, prog rock inspires me too! although it usually inspires me to get baked. #theventurebros

    @Anekanta: He's not gone but he wasn't in episode 402 and in 403 he was only in the flashback to when he was first hired by Rusty. He's currently on a different mission and I don't know--because I won't my spoiler my favorite show--if or when he'll return.

    BTW, watch season 3--it's the best season so far with lots of backstory and the uncensored version is out on DVD. Season 4 aired episode 3 last night.

    My thanks to you both for calming my panic. I've seen a few episodes of season three, but I'll have to pick up the DVD and check out the rest. #theventurebros
