And so, sadly, my latest run through one of my favourite ever TV shows comes to an end (apart from the movie) as, for the first time, I watch season seven of the show. I was not disappointed.
A new and terrifying problem at the VenTech Tower building leads to revelations about the parents of both Dr. Venture (James Urbaniak) and The Monarch (Chris McCulloch). The Monarch disavows his Blue Morpho period and settles down to work for the Guild, trying to raise his threat level so he can return to arching Rusty. Dean (Michael Sinterniklaas) heads off to college, but his problems seemingly come with him. Hank (Chris McCulloch) is enjoying his relationship with Sirena (Cristin Milioti) but worries about being kept apart by both her schedule and her villainous father.
The three-part opening to this season is utterly fantastic and might be the best set of stories that the show has ever done. It's another wonderful series overall though, again mixing the humour with revelations and callback to moments we've seen in the show. Case in point being a recontextualiation of the problem light that was flicking on Gartantua-1, all the way back in the second episode of the first season, or the significance of previous Monarch arch Dr. Dugong.
This seasons storylines also allow for a return for Dr. Orpheus and the Order of the Triad, and for Dermot, as well as a continued showing from Wide Wale and Red Death.
Brilliant stuff, perhaps the best season that the show ever did. I just have the movie left to go! Then what will I do !
