Season 3, Episode 3: The Invisible Hand of FateIn a sharp departure from the previous two seasons, three episodes into season 3 of "The Venture Bros." we've already had two episodes that feature the main characters only very briefly. In this case, we learn more about the past of Master Billy Quizboy, namely how in the hell his hand ended up like that. The episode was funny, though it didn't have as many laugh-out-loud moments as the first two episodes. I'd say it was probably the weakest of the three episodes thus far. With that said, the episode is pretty cool in the way it ties up some of the remaining loose ends regarding how characters came to know each other and how they got in their current positions. Its amazing how much care Jackson Publik and Doc Hammer put into keeping the continuity of their show consistent, while still keeping the show fresh and funny.
Anyway, its been 2 weeks now since I've seen this episode so I'm not going to do a full list of bits that I liked, but I do want to point out the sequence at the end that's made up of a bunch of quick cuts with Brock bringing Billy back to Pete and then going off to start "Operation: Rusty's Blanket." It was actually oddly touching.
