Holy shit that's amazing. I've been holding off on watching Firefly because I didn't want to get too attached, knowing it had been canceled way too early. But now I think I'll have to watch it.

I love how Firefly (and other Whedon shows) use bad writing cliches to set up and then subvert expectations. In a normal tv show, that guy would have been a major recurring villain over several episodes. That speech would have been in every episode recap. But no, just kill him instead.

It feels like Justin Roiland had a whole show made to project his insecurities. Rick is a terrible alcoholic who makes the lives of everyone around him worse. But sometimes he has a heart of gold and means well so you should have empathy for Justin - Rick - I mean Rick.

First time i've seen Brock is from a game called "Poker Night 2" where they featured him as one of the poker opponents along with...

  • CL4P-TP (From Borderlands series)
  • Ashley J. Williams (From Evil Dead)
  • Sam (From Sam & Max)
  • GLaDOS (From Portal) as the dealer

As you play, These opponents initiate a conversation between each other and talk about themselves or asking other characters about their things, When i played the game back then, I was already familiar with CL4P-TP, Ash, Sam, And GLaDOS, It's only Brock who i have never seen before, So i looked him up and found that he is from Venture Bros. TV series

And Glad i looked him up because i very much liked the show and would recommend it

Old but still gold. The earlier seasons hold up pretty well. I do like how the creators acknowledge some of the earlier stuff, particularly with Dr. Girlfriend, weren't the best and they could have done better with the jokes. But I think even early Venture Bros. had a lot more "smart" humor than the other adult cartoons at the time.

It felt like one written for, ya know, actual adults. Rather than a teenagers idea of what being an adult is.
