Just got through series 1 this weekend. Where have I been?? Always saw the thumbnails on Prime and skipped over them until my barber persuaded me to watch it. I didn't jump on the Game of Thrones train until series 4 so had to binge watch that too.

I'm such a fool!
Maybe your barber should post here instead.

This season has been amazing.

Also im pretty sure the biggest laugh from each season has somehow involved the Deep and something to do with his sea friends.

Herogasm I mean WOW. So much happened this episode.

The Soldier Boy, Homelander , Butcher fight was diabolical. And Hughie with the naked teleporting assist was fun. I loved how shocked Homelander was at Butcher's upgrade. He finally decided to stop toying with Butcher but ooops not so easy to kill now. It was a smart decision to have the fight indoors too to limit the flight aspect until the end.

A-train was still trash but he FINALLY was honest for once apologized to Hughie and handled the racist.

This was an interesting way to give Noir a storyline here. He ran, then we find out he maybe masterminded Soldier Boy's sale to the Russians. Interesting.

I literally was about to post something similar :lol: just finished a minute ago.

I doubt anyone will be calling this week boring.

MMs reaction to Termite bumping into him and ruining his jacket made me laugh out loud :lol: probably my favorite hour of "TV" in a long time

Holy shitballs. That was superb. This has been an amazing season.

The 'imagine' song :lol: That was brilliantly done. But yes, a lot to unpack

I like how this is supposed to be satire but I was way more hyped for the showdown than I've been in any other superhero film.

That was diabolical. Too bad you sorta knew it was not going to be a definite ending considering it was midseason.

"Scorched earth" was a perfect dialogue choice and Hughie fighting naked was :lol:

I can't get over how good this show is. Hughie's slow transformation into Butcher is being done very, very well.

There was some fecking disgusting imagery in this episode though :lol:

Its great and one of the reasons I didnt hate Hughie as we only really had two seasons and was wondering how his story would evolve. This is a great way to do it.

That was fecking class. Amazing hour of tv.

the “imagine” piss take at the start was just the tip of the brilliant lunacy.

That was great but I have to say, Herogasm was way too overhyped, expected something through the roof insane but for the standards set by the show, nothing blew my mind.

Think it was intentionally overhyped so people would be more excited when the final fight scene kicked off, that said MM being covered in splooge and the Deep fecking an octopus was pretty gnarly.

Agree. It was good advertising but there was nothing absolutely jaw-dropping in it. Tiny Man crawling inside the dick and sneezing was waaaay more shocking than anything at the Herogasm party.

Fight scene was so good. Hopefully we get to see more of Soldier Boy, I’m really liking the character.

Yup same as the comic story would have taken about 2- 3 eps to do.

The deep and his friend Tim was pretty hardcore. "He's praying, oh my god he's praying" :lol:
