For those of you who have not seen it, The Venture Brothers is highly recommended, especially if you fit in that age bracket young enough to remember Jonny Quest reruns, but not old enough to take the actual episodes all that seriously.

Today’s post deals with one subject at hand- how season 3 ends, and some speculation about what awaits in season 4. So don’t click ‘read more’ unless you’re all caught up at this point.

So you’ve made it this far. One line that caught me in Season 3, Episode 12 near the beginning of the episode was from Hank Venture:

…he often speaks of the coming war between man and the Brotherhood of Machines…

This is a screen capture right before the line is mentioned, when Brock is mourning the loss of his Dodge Charger.

At the conclusion of Season 3, Episode 13 is when #24 is seemingly killed by a car bomb. His severed skull, only visible for a few frames looks oddly robotic.

Or perhaps it is just the result of some quick animation work. But who knows.

I’m hoping that this is the harbinger of some Terminator-style fighting between man and machine. It would be a fitting addition to a show whose central theme involves failure and absurdity.
