I was rewatching the episode and noticed this.. as I was googling I found that someone else had also noticed it too and made this pic: Is...is that what I think it is? Hector? (Trying to ask without spoiling anything for anyone here who's a newbie to the series.)

Got a question for anyone who can answer - Valorous Farms Dairy gets mentioned in this and something about a cow going missing. I wondered if that was a reference to TUA or some other book later on. I had ASOUE and TUA a while ago and sold them. I re-purchasing them late next week so if anyone could tell me what page, chapter, book it's from that'd be great. Valorous Farms Dairy is featured throughout the U.A.; for cows specifically, you would want to consult Chapter Nine.

I've been watching the series with my parents and we just finished The Reptile Room. At the end, my dad said 'I do like how the parents are alive.' :^)

Minor nitpick, but I am in the process of re-watching E3 and had to cringe at Monty saying "I know that a few dangerous reptiles can make you skeptical of the entire species..." Reptiles are not a species! Who wrote that line? I can't believe it was DH...Monty would definitely know that reptiles are a class, not a species... though with "class" having multiple meanings maybe the writer was just trying to avoid confusion, but it's still annoying. The line could have been reworded to be more accurate.
Okay rant over.

And his next line... "learn to tell the dangerous from the good..." "dangerous" and "good" are not antonyms, nor are they mutually exclusive.
Who is writing these lines?!

I don't think he meant '...can make you sceptical of the entire species that is known as reptiles.' I think he meant that a few dangerous reptiles can make you sceptical of their entire individual species, eg. I know that a few dangerous reptiles can make you sceptical of the entire Crocodilian species (the reptiles in question obviously being of the same species). Like a few dangerous students can make you sceptical of the entire class, even though students are part of a whole school- but with the use of 'class', you assume the metaphor is class-specific and not school-specific. I think it's also fair enough, when speaking casually with a very particular context, to use 'dangerous' and 'good' as opposing subjects I vote that the writer keeps their job.

I'm not convinced But I'll move on. I did love some other lines in this episode; Stephano's "I don't know anything about mouth sores!" comes to mind.

Yeah, his meaning seems pretty obvious to me. It's bit pedant and overly semantic to insist that he should have been even more specific. Context matters.

it really doesn't matter much, like i said, most people won't catch it.. but when i hear the line, "I know that a few dangerous reptiles can make you skeptical of the entire species..." I still think species is the wrong word. What he's implying I think is that you may come upon a deadly rattle snake and then assume the rest of snakes and reptiles are deadly too, when say a milk snake is harmless. But rattle snakes and milk snakes are different species of course.. However they're in the same suborder Serpentes. So to say that a rattle snake made you skeptical of the entire species doesn't make sense in this context. All rattle snakes are dangerous... so it would be very correct to be skeptical that the entire species is dangerous! Unless Monty is saying that it would be wrong to assume that all rattle snakes are dangerous, because some are good, but I don't think so haha. And right then after saying the line, Monty picks up a random harmless chameleon, which I think implies that the writer thinks reptile is a species.. lol. ok i'm done

While it's true that certain species will be dangerous, it's still true that some will feature dangerous and not-so-dangerous reptiles. I think he picks up a chameleon because the writer thinks it's a harmless reptile, which it is

Does anyone else think that maybe Monty really did recognize Olaf, but for some reason thought it would be better to not let Olaf know that he knew? Though why he thought it was a good idea to leave Stephano alone at the movie theatre I can't fathom...he said he was "in the hands of a very capable ticket salesman," but the ticket salesman looked to be in his 60s...
In general, I get the impression that while Monty is a genius when it comes to his specialty (reptiles), he's really not good at understanding people and their motivations...but then, pretty much every adult in the series is like that, very caricaturized. But for some reason, it bugs me more when it comes to Monty's portrayal in this adaptation. On the one hand, he's made out to be a capable VFD agent who knows what he's doing, but then on the other hand he makes far too many mistakes (not having a real lock on his reptile room, leaving Stephano at the theatre, walking into a suspiciously unsecured reptile room without any weapon or protection). I love Uncle Monty for being a loving guardian, but then hate him for being such an idiot! What a let-down...

What a let-down... how unfortunate it is that he was so ignorant.. the only capable adults seem to be the parents, gustav and jacquelyn (edit: maybe not jacquelyn.. she was easily tricked into thinking there was a tarantula on her shoulder)
