As a HUGE fan of the adult swim show The Venture Brothers, I tune in every Sunday at 11:30pm to watch the latest episode of season three. The final two episodes entitled A Family That Slays Together Stays Together I and II were quite a shock to Venture fans.
Throughout the final episode, I had a feeling that someone wasn't going to be in the fourth season. Every time a character did something dangerous, I just knew it was the end for them. Despite that lengering feeling, the episode began to close and I thought we had dodged a bullet. Not so fast.
One of the characters since the beginning, Henchman #24 was killed in an explosion with H.E.L.P.E.R. Jackson and I were horrified to see #24's head fly from the wreckage of the Monarch-mobile and land in the arms of his hetero life partner #21. At first I thought, no. This will just be another nameless Henchman, but it was confirmed.
The tee shirt for the last episode on the Tee Shirt of the Week was in memory of #24. WHY?!?!?!
May he rest in pieces, a good friend and a great Henchman. May he find a villian in the sky where he will finally be Henchman #1.
