Talk:Powerless in the Face of Death

"Dr. Venture"

Starting with this episode, it is kind of pointless to refer to any character, especially Thaddeus, as "Dr. Venture." Jonas Jr. has two doctorates and Thaddeus doesn't have any. We need to start referring to these two by first name. - DynSkeet * Talk 17:30, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

Was he still called Dr. Venture in the opening "credits"? Otherwise, I think he's still well known as Dr. Venture and Jonas Jr. as Jonas Jr. -th1rt3en 17:40, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

Not sure offhand, but it probably does still read "Dr. Thaddeus S. Venture" in the opening. Hm. - DynSkeet * Talk 18:24, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

Thaddeus is called 'Dr. Venture' in the credits, and Jonas Jr, well, Jonas Jr. Personally, I don't actually mind him being called anything but Rusty (since no one would get that unless they watch the show extensively), I just go with Dr. Venture all the time for simplicity's sake and trying to see it from a new-viewer's point of view.

Song

Can anyone confirm which Aquagen mix was used in the opening montage? I'm inclined to say the radio edit. Ham Pastrami 13:54, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Second Julius Caesar reference

The article said that the guard counted 23 inmates, as a second reference to the betrayal of Julius Caesar (who was stabbed 23 times). However, I just checked the episode, and he clearly says "282...283...okay, lockdown gentlemen!".

I have removed this reference from the article. "Et tu, King Gorilla" is still a reference to the betrayal, so I left it intact. -Juansmith 08:32, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

Star Wars reference

• The scene where Jonas Jr. is fitted with a bionic arm is similar to the scene in Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back where Luke Skywalker is fitted with a bionic hand.

This one is a bit of a stretch fellas. What, any time someone gets a bionic limb it's suddenly a reference to Empire Strikes Back? I could see a case for this claim if Quiz Boy Billy actually closed a little compartment on the arm, poked the finger tips with needles, or at the very least if camera angles were similar. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.158.223.4 (talk) 17:09, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Re: Cultural References

Lots of stuff is reminiscent of lots of other stuff...we're skating on thin ice original research wise. Lots42 (talk) 14:09, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

Why was the Cultural References section removed from this episode? All the Venture Bros. episode articles I've seen have it except for this one. Jeffrywith1e (talk) 23:46, 22 May 2009 (UTC)
