The First appearances of Dr. O and Triana Orpheus. Dr. Strange, Poltergeist and Led Zep references among other's. Fantasy versions of The boy's mom(voice only), Molotov Cocktease and Scamp!. Another great episode!.

[DRD2001]

Check out Orpheus' fingernails from his first appearance. Dang they're long!

POLO!!!!

I didn't really care too much for the Triana character, but she has really grown on me. She is about the only "normal" character in the VB universe.

[preparation_H_bomb]

not my fav VB, still funny

[Nightswimming2K4]

I love this ep. Any ep with Dr. O and Molotav are fine by me. I like how Dr. O does his parenting in this ep also, he's a trip.

Definately. But initially she seems kind of dull and boring. But by Tag Sale, I was really enjoying her character a lot more. I hope they have more of her in season 2.

lol i laughed so much at that   and Dr. Venture saying he made the machine out of a dead orphan

[EvidenceOrpheus]

w00t w00t the first premier of Dr.Orpheus

[Nightswimming2K4]

Triana seems so cool and collected and a bit rebellious. Dr. O is just her dad to her, but Tri..your dad is DOCTOR ORPHEUS! 

That would just be so cool to have a dad like that.

Until he say's something like "Do not go in there yet, I had Taco Bell for lunch!"

And the odd part is, she is pseudo-Goth. They aren't particularly "normal" in real life.

So, that would kinda make her a poser then, huh? 

[BrewMcCrew]

That wasn't what I meant. It's just funny that she is the most normal among all these freak shows when Goths really aren't considered "normal" in our world.

I've never really been around many Goths, so I wouldn't know the difference on how they are supposed to act really.

I tend to think of her as a loner and just being herself, not really going along with the crowd, but not a full blown "goth girl" or whatever they call it these days. Just a rebellious teen with a cool dad. She seems to have enough sense not to get caught up in anything too self destructive also.

[BrewMcCrew]

That's why I called her a pseudo-Goth. Cool Dad, thats an understatement. How sweet would that be, having Dr. O for a dad?!

[Nightswimming2K4]

Not a Zep fan really. Did they really sell out on "In through the out door?"

I have the album/cd somewhere around my place, I don't care for it very much. I've seen and heard people trash the album plenty of times. I think every great band is entitled to one "bad" album...

[Majikthise]

Is that the one with "Fool in the Rain"? In that case, yes.

Yep.

[Majikthise]

"Fool in the Rain" is about as far away from classic Zeppelin as you can get without a prescription. Page & Plant should have saved that number for the Honeydrippers.
