!!The subject of Capt Monty



***His mother actually asks him this is an episode. To quote: "Why are you speaking Japanese? Even I don't speak Japanese!"

to:

*** Stan was more spry in the earlier eps (when he wasn't as out of shape), so that's why he could do Bond-esque moves, although doing a free-run is different than doing the stunts that James Bond does.



!!Storing away sperm



***^If it helps, sperm banks might give a topical anesthetic.




In the 300th episode (called 300) The Golden Turd eventually causes the Smiths to kill each other. Roger can then see the day he pooped the turd by looking into one of its gems. His past self is able to hear him, and he warns himself to hide it so no one can ever get it. He puts in an arcade claw grabber machine, thus preventing anyone from getting it because it cannot be won. Thus changing history so that no one ever possesses the unholy artifact.

The events of this episode are just Stan fantasizing. So anything that doesn't make sense is just due to Stan's mindset.

They probably notice. In fact, it probably helps them in hiding him. There's a whole attic full of people who don't know Roger is an alien. So the CIA would never suspect anything.

***Stan, from what's implied, suppresses his emotions (and sense of empathy) in favor of what he perceives as "manly", in which case, he doesn't cry or, when he does, he doesn't do it in front of e'erybody, especially not in front of Steve.



!!Gettin' their stuff back



!!Stan's homphobia




!!Some more about Roger



----

to:

***Steve ain't good at picking friends in general and it kinda shows. That said, however, of all the Smiths, Roger cares about Steve the most and, so far, at least, Roger is consistent with how he acts, while Steve's other friends are kinda iffy.
----



***To be fair, Klaus can't do do a lot anyways by himself, because, well, he's a goldfish, while Reginald has his conscious put into a koala specifically for CIA purposes (whatever those were, IDR), while Roger has murdered people and caused disasters.
----




to:

***The CIA caught him undisguised and, from what it sounds like, he's tried to escape the facility before he officially escaped with Stan.

**Could be, since Glitter and Honey aged up considerably, while Stevearino was "born" at his chronological age.

**It wasn't that Stan outed him to Tank (which, by itself, is bad, as Terry wanted to tell Tank himself), it was that Stan made the whole thing a public fiasco (which, as we all know, didn't help matters).
