Doom Patrol |OT| D-I-E D-I-E, Let's Die (Fridays, DC Universe)

Great episode, now the wait for season 2. Which looks to start batshit crazy. Can't wait for its return and Mr. Nobody to plan yet another scheme.
One of the best shows I have watched this year. Cant wait to hear if they got picked up for season 2. Cant see why not.
He's very powerful in that he can control the narrative (and the meta narrative in the case of when they got in the white space) but he's also just a supercharged idiot so he's easily fooled into thinking he lost his powers (and too stupid to contrive a way out of the painting.) He seems to be able to travel in time within a person's own storyline though so that may be a way out for him.
Mr. Nobody said something along the lines of, "because of your cro magnon lover that's why those two are outside!" Implying that she did something to enlarge Ezekiel and Whiskers while depowering Niles and his influence on those two.
He says that he went looking for his Cro-Magnon squeeze but all that was left of her was Niles daughter (chip off the old block).
I can't believe how good this show is. According to Jeremy Carver, no word from DC Universe about a season 2 as of yet. Will immediately cancel my subscription if they cancel this show.
Same.
Great speculation. That makes complete sense. Or I wonder if Flex will have mercy on him and release him and beard hunter.
Iirc Niles daughter was the one to enlarge Whiskers and Ezekial.
Why the weird secrecy around his daughter btw? The way they kept framing her was odd. Is it because they haven't hired the actress? Is the character someone special in the comics?
Partly the first, in case there is a second series and a known actor is cast but Dorothy is a significant character in the comics.
Huh, they made Dorothy Nile's daughter?
I should really stop coming in this thread until I'm actually able to watch the show.

I really hope next season they go into detail about how Niles made the team. Especially Robot man.... how the hell do you orchestrate a living brain? Or Rita's accident?
I assume it was basically just Evil Secret Agency shenanigans in Rita's case - found something weird, placed it so it would infect somebody, sabotaged the pier - but Cliff... Yeah, him I dunno. Way too many weird coincidences would have to happen to cause Cliff's accident to happen in a way that his brain was salvageable.
I was kinda hoping Rita was gonna actually, ya know, use her powers during that battle scene. When she walked out onto the street to face the roach, I thought she was going to grow super big and fight him for a bit.
And what was with Larry trying to time how long the spirit can be out of him for? In the previous few episodes we've seen the spirit leave his body and him be wide awake for quite a while.

Definitely one of my complaints too. It's a shame Rita really hasn't used her powers since episode 4. Her standing in front of Ezekiel just to get eaten was pretty anticlimactic.

Y'know, I wasn't sure what exactly I was expecting from this finale, but a giant rat/cockroach makeout session was not on the list.
Since we are now voicing complaints, and even with them I still love this show, I also don't get how the chief hasn't aged a single day since 1913. I assumed that the primitive woman Slava somehow gifted him the power of immortality and thus why he remained looking the same after more than a century. Subsequently him passing down that power or knowledge of longevity or immortality to the more recent incarnation of the Doom Patrol.
But we know that isn't the case, it's quite the opposite since it was the chief trying to achieve immorality by studying and using the members of the Doom Patrol. So that doesn't make sense to me unless he was able to achieve immortality after acquiring Larry but then why did he still need Cliff 20 some years later? Maybe this will be addressed during the second season.
If I was a writer for the show I would make it so that the Chief needs to find a new member for the Doom Patrol every 10-20 years in order to remain immortal.

You two are right my bad. It is his daughter lol. Went looking for Niles' bae but found his daughter and then she fucked him over by enlarging Ezekiel and Whiskers.
To answer the question I failed to answered: Mr. Nobody "lost" his powers via Niles' daughter's powers.
How he got it back? Rita got him into a better emotional state where he could control the narrative again.
Catching up right now.
Episode 13:
Dolores: Flex I don't feel good.
Episode 14:
Holy shit Flex made everybody (except Cliff) came. 😆
Episode 15
Cyborg is a delicious.
Niles has the best wheel chair. Got down those stairs no problem.
It ok finale, but season as a whole is the best Superhero TV this year

Finished the last episode, the finale went by a little too fast for all the stuff they were including in it but it was still pretty good. A stellar first season for what's probably my favorite live-action superhero show.
Season 2 needs to get confirmed already

I read Doom Patrol was the 3rd highest viewed Digital Original in the last year behind Star Trek: Discovery and Titans. Even though it trailed Titans I think the critical praise should be enough to secure a Season 2.

Same here. Didnr think they quite paid it all off, but still pretty great.
Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! It's is all I can say about this Fucking episode of this Fucking Amazing series. Fuck!
So does Mr Nobody belong on this thread.
So powerful made a last minute secondary villain

I mean, what ultimately did in Nobody is that he played himself. He accidentally used his powers to make a world where he wasn't almighty powerful and ended up stuck. The giant cockroach and rat were sort of secondary.
I have to say, I remember thinking how odd the positioning of the truck that Cliff hit was. It definitely looked like it had been parked there instead of being jackknifed or crashed. They were probably onsite to keep the brain alive then.
In Rita's case, she fell through a rotted board, right? that wouldn't have been too hard to engineer.
edit: also, it's pretty clear Niles found something right? Because both he and Joshua look like they haven't aged at all.
I do like how Mr. Nobody had to own himself just to...... Lose to The Doom Patrol lol. It fits perfectly with his character.
Yeah Joshua hasn't aged at all and he didn't marry a mystical cave woman at all.

Yeah, he almost wanted to be defeated because when he "won" his life had no further purpose.
Just finished episode 5. This show is like the absolute perfect vehicle for Alan Tudyk. I love the entire cast.
Shame we haven't gotten a bunch of BTS stuff for this. The cast looks like they had an absolute blast doing this.
Mr. Nobody is an overpowered schmuck with an inferiority complex. He basically defeated himself then Rita pep-talked him into helping himself and them.
