5.5/10. Pretty weird, rudderless episode. The whole awkward symmetry of the whole thing makes the episode pretty weird, and while the romantic merry go round between Doc, Dr. Quymn, Virginia, and Brock on the one hand, and Hank, Nancy and Drew, and Dean on the other gave the episode an engine to run on, it sputtered out with regularity. Dr. Venture's patheticness and anything-for-a-buck lows are amusing, as is Dean's disgust at everyone getting romantic, but for the most part, this was an episode that was light on laughs, and a little too weird with the interpersonal drama stuff. The twist with the were-o-dile is amusing, and the reveal of the ape saving poor Dean is a nice one. I just found this to be more of a slog than the usual Venture Bros. episode.

@andrewbloom Hey man I'm rewatching this show for Season 7 and the book coming out and I'm really enjoying your reviews! I just listened to the commentary on this one and they agree with you, they admit this one got away from them a bit.

@kurtmoney Thanks very much, Kurtis! Interesting to hear that Hammer & Publick agree! I'm pretty excited for the new season now that I'm all caught up!
