Goodness me Episode 2 had some moments

The pink eye!

God, I’ve given him everything. I haven’t had a doctor’s appointment in three ******* years. Countless UTIs, enough yeast infections to open a Panera.

Spat my drink out at this.

Caught up with the 3rd episode now. One gripe was the Hughie being in the air vents sequence. Homelander surely would’ve heard him well before the sweat dripping.

Feel bad for the octopus stuck in the tank at the back of his cupboard. “We haven’t been intimate in over a week”. ****ing hell.

Some really good new entrants to the line up. Sage in particular.

The actor portraying Ryan is fantastic. Doing an excellent job. I still believe (and hoping) the demise of Homelander will come from him next season.

The octopus is being voiced by Tilda Swinton.

Ahh okay, so that’s why her voice was so familiar. But couldn’t pinpoint it. A career highlight for her I’m sure

Couple of questions;

Haven't seen the spinoff, is it critical to watch before this season?

Were the first 3 eps enough storywise to keep interest for the rest of the season? As someone whos enjoyed the show, last season was a slog to finish, and the shock value stuff does nothing for me anymore. Figure with Season 5 being the last, may as well see it out.

So far Gen V has been referenced in passing dialogue only. When it did, it helped that I knew what they were talking about however I wouldn’t say it’s essential viewing. When I did stumble across it though I was pleasantly surprised, that series was much better than I thought it would be. So in that respect, it’s worth a try regardless.

As for the first 3 episodes, for me it helped knowing that we’re building towards an endgame in season 5. I feel it’s been going in circles otherwise the last season or so and a bit of staleness crept in for me. But now I have a fresher approach and have quite enjoyed this start and some deeper character work.

There have also been a few mentions in those news banners when snippets of news broadcasts comment on what's happening.

Yes I sometimes see on the news tickers there are references, I should pause more to read them properly.

Just finished the first three, a welcome return to form. Looks like the reviews were correct. Like the new directions with Noir, Sage and A-Train.

Minor gripe with how heavy handed the politics is at times but let's face it, this is not meant to be an apolitical series. And the miscommunication and plot lines with Frenchie and Kimiko is probably getting tired. Overall, though, looking forward to how it plays out and if the writers can continue to flesh it out - the smartest vs the strongest, and the political power vs actual power, amongst other narrative choices.

that scene when she opened the email was the best "jump scare" ive seen in forever.. i genuinely laughed my ass off.

 

[Red Black and Blue]

Disappointed by the arseh*le flash. Far too well kempt. Butchers ass would be an absolute mess of hemorrhoids and dingleberries.

[Grockadoc]

'More spit, Marty! More spit! That'll work!'

Jesus... That scene...

 

[Kirby]

I think it’s still good and entertaining but I don’t find it a must watch. I’m not dying for the next episode, which is how I felt last season too.

Sage and the octopus are good additions.

The problem I find sometimes is that there’s no-one I really care about. The most likeable are MM and Kamiko. The rest I really couldn’t care less about.

that might be the first time I've actively had to hide behind my hands during an episode. Genuinely horrifying.

lol same.... there was lots of me looking at my phone to not see the TV last night and even just grimacing at the noises hahaha

 

[Pancakes]

The lobotomy scene was very much wtf....
Also Homelander's laughing during the jerking off scene was creepy as ****, Anthony Starr deserves an Emmy for his portrayal of Homelander.

 

[BlakeyNoFlakey]

Episode 4 belonged to Homelander. That was some effed-up shit. The other subplots involving Hughie with his dad and Starlight just paled into nothingness compared to what Homelander was doing. When the screen went black just before the parasite in Butcher reacted to Ezekial choking Butcher to death was a bit lame. But I understand they probably wanted to save that reveal for a later episode. But, my God, Homelander is a very bad man.
