Talk:Shadowman 9: In the Cradle of Destiny

Film References
There was a reference to the 1984 dune film. When Dr. Girlfriends midget henchmen are talking to Brock Samson, I think #24 says something along the lines of "maybe his name is a killing word." If someone could get the exact quote, that'd be great 24.115.132.109 (talk) 04:00, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

you don't think the song "jupiter" references "Conan the barbarian"? they were married with a snake binding their hands after all.--204.118.241.183 (talk) 09:22, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

Conan maybe, I've never seen it so I don't know. Jupiter was just random. It seems the writers are a fan of Holst (why shouldn't they be? he's awesome)  and this is the second time they've put in something from his "Planets" suite, though I think Mars from last season was much cooler.

Reveals
Should it be noted all the previously unanswered questions and revalations that came from the episode? Such as the Council of Thirteen being responsible for killing Doctor Venture's father? 76.116.109.221 (talk) 13:41, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I don't think they ever did say that though/--Jakezing (talk) 22:54, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Very little of what might have been expected to be revealed actually was in this episode, e.g. what Dr. Girlfriend said to the monarch at the conclusion of the previous episode. The Monarch asked the council if they knew who was responsible for Jonas Venture's death, but they declined a response. 67.185.3.35 (talk) 08:51, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

Giant Penny
Contrary to what the article says, I believe the giant penny is a reference to a similar penny being on display in the batcave (originally in the comics, which was later referenced in various animated series). The penny dates back to World's Finest Comics #30 Aug/Sept 1947, which featured "The Case of the Penny Plunderer" where Batman and Robin face off against the villainous Joe Coyne who used the giant penny as a trojan horse to break into and pilfer an art exhibition. This is probably too minor a quibble for the article, but I'm not sure. The penny that Batman displays in the Batcave is, however, Mr. Coyne's penny. 24.118.232.253 (talk) 08:30, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
 * That'd be awesome to have lol.--Jakezing (talk) 12:35, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

You, sir, are correct. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.33.141.36 (talk) 17:13, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

Doug
Did anyone else notice a strong resemblence between college-aged Monarch and Roger from Doug? I thought of it too late to really compare, but it seemed similar, and Jackson Public did work on Doug for some period of time. I'm probably crazy and/or wrong, but that's what the discussion section is for... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.33.141.36 (talk) 17:15, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Does it matter?--Jakezing (talk) 17:36, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Of course it does! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.229.4.53 (talk) 07:43, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
 * No, honestly, it does not.--Jakezing (talk) 12:19, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Sugarcubes Song
Anyone have an idea of the Sugarcubes song the episode refers to? I'd guess it was "Hit," as that was The Sugarcubes' biggest US track, and the subject of the song is about a girl being totally swept off her feet by guy she just met. Of course, if Shelia had the Saffron haircut, that would put this around 1996, when the Sugarcubes were long-gone and Bjork had gone solo... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.191.175.66 (talk) 15:21, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I don't think it was Hit. The pitch sounds wrong, but I could be mistaken. Professor Chaos (talk) 22:11, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
 * You wouldn't have heard the song in the episode. It's implied to be a Sugarcubes song because of the dialogue, not because we hear it. --Sugarbutty (talk) 05:30, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
 * That makes sense. Also, if they did try, it may have been pseudo-Sugarcubes, like they've done pseudo-Zeppelin in the past, since licensing songs can be expensive. Professor Chaos (talk) 03:53, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Dr Venture in this episode
Sorry if I am doing this wrong, but I noticed an error on this article.

First of all, someone above asked for the exact quote on Brock Samson's name. 24 says "Maybe his name is a killing word"

But what I am referring to, is the part of the article where it says Dr. Venture and sons do not appear in this episode, Brock does but has no lines.

Dr Venture IS in the episode, and I believe he has no lines either. He is in the flashback when the Monarch Drives his car through the venture compound, and his female bodygaurd, Myra (I think thats her) beats up on the Monarch.

Again, I didnt know what to do so I came here, sorry if this is not how to bring up errors in articles. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.227.57.54 (talk) 01:07, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
