Seriously. Like I get that's the character, but it's...weird. It's just fucked up that's the way they decided to write the persona out.
Watching episode 4, and I wasn't really on board......
And then the Sex-Men showed up.
I love Flex.

Super excited to get to the new season but first I gotta rewatch the first so my fiancee can see it.
Almost done with Danny Patrol, still a great episode, love the musical number.

I feel like this season lacks a bit of focus. Or maybe it's just missing an awesome villain like the first season had. That said, it seems like they're building up to something and I still love the characters, the way they're not afraid to go into dark and sensitive territories, the absolutely bonkers stuff they do in episodes. And I keep hoping for every main character to just be happy. I think that's what makes this show so good for me personally.
I think you're right about the focus. The narrative thread this season is meant to be about finding a way to keep Niles from ageing. Besides Time Patrol they haven't really touched on that plot thread, besides mentioning that they need to keep him alive for Dorothy's sake.
On another note, it feels like this season has had a massive downgrade in budget. Last season we had a lot more episodes set outside of the mansion. I am still really enjoying this show, thanks to the writing and the performances. I just wish the show was given more money..
Not really feeling this new episode; it was maybe the most haphazard and weirdly-paced one this whole season. The first miss for me. I couldn't even appreciate the wackiness this time around.
But I get this is also dependent on where the next one goes.
And this is some cinemasins bullshit but how did the shuttle from 1955 that was meant to take three adults to space have a Dorothy-sized outfit? I shouldn't give a shit but that irked me in a way...it's like they said "what's another wacky thing the crew can do? How about space?" then worked backwards but didn't get all the pieces to fit.
But I get this is also dependent on where the next one goes.
Idk about that, I feel the CGI budget is considerable better than last season.
This show made me feel sad about two dudes slapping each others asses throughout the entire episodes.
about the spoiler : they literally say it was supposed to last 3 generations
You mean the whole mission, so it would have had things sized for all kinds of people? If that's the case I totally missed that, thanks.
that ending I hope they to walk back on that decision.
I have a feeling. Miles actually did it because he had a good intent at the end to help Cliff
Cyborg's story is obvious that he's being used.
this reminded me of the pacing of Episode 3 juggling all these storylines.

It is funny, at the moment, the show has me far more invested in the different characters than in the plot. I want to find out what happens with Crazy Jane, I care for Cliff and I'm curious to see if Larry is ever going to be happy. But then Dorothy/Niles come into the picture, and my interest fades.
Episode ended on some interesting threads with Miranda back in charge and Niles going who knows where with Dorothy
Rita being read by the young actress unknowingly portraying her was a funny moment.
Larry founding out he is still has the training wheels on with the negative spirit, while he could potentially master it is interesting.

The use of Valentina Vostok amused me, then I remember that the CW DC shows never brought back Stephanie Corneliussen who played a version obviously removed from Doom Patrol and "Negative Man"/Larry where Firestorm was used instead.
My biggest question was... how could Dorothy even hear Cliff talking during their conversation? And vice versa. But I guess you just have to accept certain things in this show, still love it though.
The way Niles phrased his last line makes me think he didn't just eject Cliff aimlessly into space. He said we aren't going home which makes me think he did it so Cliff can drift back to earth while him and Dorothy could do some other shit
Maybe Niles upgraded Cliff with rockets or something that will allow him to land back home. They kept showing the blueprints Niles had.
What if they haven't done the worst thing yet, something like that.
Question about characters in the preview for the next episode
Is the "pioneers of the unknown" a reference/adaptation of the... Challengers of the Unknown ?
That's how I took it.
With Timothy Dalton billed differently in the credits, I wonder if he'll be out for a while with Dorothy.
Niles is such a bad person trying to be a good person and doing and saying everything in exactly the wrong way.
should i try watching this over westworld, true detective season 3, chernobyl, mcmillions, perry mason,
Isn't Dalton always billed differently? Or did they change it even more?
My vote is yes, but that's because I want more people to watch Doom Patrol to get the streaming numbers up so we can get more of it :P
Billing is part of the contract. He gets special billing for the show because he is the bigger star, and it is negotiated as such from before the show started.
No, it is just that Brendan Fraser and Matt Bomer already have the 'With' billing. So Dalton takes the 'Special appearance' once.
I watched two episodes last night and a couple things...
I loved Steel and Stone, despite (because of) how unnecessary it was.
Both episodes turn really dark really fast in the last 10 minutes.

Finally caught up and I think I like this season even more than S1. It shows how strong the casting is when Abigail Shapiro (in her 1st TV role) is holding her own against Diane Guerrero.
I finally bit the bullet and subscribed to DC universe (for the comics mostly) and started reading the six issues of My Greatest Adventure that covers first appearance and origin of Larry, Cliff, and Rita before the title was renamed Doom Patrol.
it's amazing how far it's come both in the sense of being a premium TV show and writing (especially of Morrison) and definition of the characters and team, while also keeping so much including the oddball that has been there since day 1.

You know I think in an alternative universe, Timothy Dalton would've been a pretty good professor X or Magneto
So I had heard about Doom Patrol, but really knew almost nothing about it. I decided to give it a shot and 4-5 days latter I've watched all the episodes. One of my favorite shows out there now. I have to wait weekly!!!!!!!!!!!? Fuck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Welcome to the club. For me (and I am a HUGE comic nerd) and my taste I personally think it's the best comic adaption into other media, of any kind of media, ever.So I had heard about Doom Patrol, but really knew almost nothing about it.

Of course it's not that surprising, while it pulls from multiple eras and stories the bulk of it is sourced or adapted from Grant Morrison's late eighties run into the title which is in my top 2 or 3 comic runs of all time.
Only 9. I may be wrong but I don't think it was COVID, pretty sure the second season was already in the can when that started interfering with everything. At least that was the impression I got.
