S6E5: Tanks for Nuthin

"I married The Monarch, I don't even know who this person is!" this is every downward spiraling marriage ever, but the supervillain aspects really do give this otherwise worn out conversation a new coat of paint. There are so many things I could analyze if I chose here. Will this mounting pressure fuel more Blue Morpho antics, or will it cause The Monarch to reject his newfound joy to cling to scraps of his old life? "TO THE MORPHO CAVE!", hopefully, suggests the former.

It is also interesting to see that these organizations are so outside the normal channels of law that Dr. Ms. The Monarch is performing several functions that would normally be police duty. Who can she even appeal to after Brock denies her tape access? Given her vocation, the solution would probably be to just steal them.

Telephone in a statue....I miss the Adam West era Batman. This The Monarch arc is such a love letter to it.

"There can only be one explanation!" "Ghost ninja!" "Time tunnel!" Followed soon by hallucination and lying. This is definitely a universe where there can always be another explanation, even if Dr. Z has the right idea.

As the death of Haranguetan continues to have impact with Professor Giant Head now able to arch (as well as a search for some tank), it hits me that this season has had a lot more continuity between episodes than in prior seasons. As someone who is pro continuity, I hope this trend continues.

...his villain name is Think Tank. Argh, my head. Argh. He could easily have destroyed Rusty too, but nope, tank's got a chess set tucked away in it. Gotta have a battle of wits. Gotta buy time for Brock. Or don't buy time, because Brock'll get there at the speed of plot anyway.

Such a cheap gag with these guild doofuses and their customer service, but the episode DID set this up in advance, and it is fantastically paired against a background fight, I can't give this anything less than full marks.

And once again, there's beard confusion, and that will never stop being great.

Speaking of great, flying car! Super convenient, but it has all the right narrative flow that I gotta let it slide.

Plus, it looks to be setting up events for the next episode. Can't wait for the inevitable reveal of The Blue Morpho to Dr. Ms. The Monarch.

...that lobby hole is quite the murder pit.
