Review
It was a slow episode of Venture Bros. and make things worse, there are events of little importance until the end of the episode. Granted, the topic of Dr. Venture and Sgt hatred against their inner demons are preparing the ground for future developments, but the episode is essentially nothing beyond that. There are certainly some laughs to be taken (eg therapist contact post-mortem roboy, it says "reboot" is), but overall there is little substance. On a more optimistic this can be the calm before the storm. With hatred reduced gradually from the image, and Dr. Venture was apparently asked to recover the monarch, it seems that the conditions perfect for a triumphant return by Brock Samson are. We can only hope.
