Talk:Past Tense (Venture Bros. episode)

Dropping out of college
I don't think Venture dropped out of college immediately following his father's death. In "Ice Station -- Impossible!", White, Quizboy and Venture discuss having Impossible as a professor in college; Venture admits that he "squeaked by" with a sympathy D after his father died. If he dropped out completely, he would have never gotten a grade at all... so I'm guessing that he simply gave up sometime later before graduating.

 * That seems most likely. -th1rt3en 14:40, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
 * This also gives the writers a window to explain Underbheit's "lab accident". - DynSkeet * Talk 15:13, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

The Count of Monte Cristo References
Shouldn't the The Count of Monte Cristo be add to the cultural references section. The plot of the episode loosely mirrors the plot of The Novel. I mean it isn't a dead on remake, but any one who has read The Count had to have seen the similarities, I know this is recomended reading in most Junior/High School English Class so I am sure the writers of Venture Bros have read the book. -- Fiendishfoe 05:07, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

Dungeons & Dragons
It is probably worth noting that when Venture and co are playing D&D they appear to be rolling a 1D12 rather than the more recognisable 1D20. --M.J.Stanham 05:15, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Kim Possible Episode?
This seems awfully similar to some of the Bebe-related episodes of Kim Possible. That is, spurned collegian buddy creates robots and tries to get revenge on roommates/friends later in life. I'm curious which one came first--the KP episode(s?) or this one. Also, is there something else that the two storylines may be referencing? 70.249.245.5 (talk) 15:50, 6 September 2009 (UTC)
