That was a pretty interesting episodes. Some real good moments laid out nicely. Better than the last 2 for me.

I remember a couple of weeks ago the Homelander actor Antony Starr teased that things would get really crazy, he must've meant this episode. Also that girl with the Magneto powers (Cindy?) looks interesting, hope to see more of her.

Frenchie and MM's reaction to the monster dick gets funnier with every rewatch. Their facial expressions :lol:

Best episode of the series by some margin. Still not really sure where the series is heading but relieved that it’s picking up now after quite a poor start.

Great episode. I am happy to see some of the supes have regular issues like debt and mental illness.

One thing I didn't get, weren't Butcher and Hughie in the most wanted list (shown on TV in episode 1) for being accused of killing the previous CEO in season 1? They casually walked into a hospital and stayed there for days without anyone noticing?

Also, Starlight has just given up trying to hide herself in public after episode 1. Isn't she afraid anymore she will be caught with criminals?

Big plot hole that. In normal circumstances, the police would even be called for an injury like that. The writing was stupid there, they should have come up with some sort of clandestine clinic or something.

Yea. It's like they've completely forgotten about that after episode 2, they don't seem to care anymore about being seen in public. Same with Starlight who was first using burner phones and wearing at least some sort of disguise earlier. These guys are supposed to be the most popular people in the US but she hardly ever gets recognized in public eventhough she doesn't wear a mask or similar when in superhero costume. She is meeting Hughie in public regularly.

Was hoping I missed something in the middle to explain this oddity.

Well they all just seem to cut around without any fecking bother. Their plot armour seems to pretty strong. I think we've established that this series is a bit ‘di-a-fecking-bolical’.

Didnt Butcher make a deal with the Vought CEO when Black Noir was about to kill him ?

Ah yea that is true in fact, although I would've liked them to emphasize that a bit since I'm sure Vought are trying to hide the deal and it's known in public that they are criminals.

But even in previous episodes, before the deal, there were scenes of Hughie out in public with Starlight.

It's the best episode of the series, but still so much fluff just to fill time. Snip episodes to 40 mins and it would be a lot better.

Started this on Wednesday last week and already caught up to everything. It's so good, wish they'd released everything at once.

Only negatives would be Hughie (cliched dweeb / nerd skinny white American character) and Karl Urban's accent. Couldn't figure out if was English or Australian as it's all over the place. Great character though.

Pretty sure she's meant to be Jean Gray. I'm guessing they'll have more of her at some point considering the ending scene.

See, I wasn't sure if that scene meant more to come, or it was just an "oh shit" moment

I think it means more to come, I don't think they'd have spent that time with her if she was only part of one episode.
