Notes on - Doom Patrol: Fun Size Patrol

Fun Size Patrol notes London, 1927.   Dorothy was a circus exhibit.   Wonder how she got there from being born in Canada, presumably.   Captured in the Yukon.   OK, so how did they get her away from the cave woman/mom? And why did she age to 11 and then stop? Surely she wasn’t born 11? Was she already born before Niles left to rejoin the Bureau? So is this the same Wolf/Bear/Stag that her mother had, or a different one.   I’m going to call him Ted. Did Ted see Niles?   Is that what distracted him? **** “Help… Girl…” So it’s the candlemaker but not yet named. She made a wish with a scary power to get out of captivity and it slaughtered everybody at the circus.   Yeah, that’s intense. Hard to feel too bad about the ringmaster Did they injure Ted? Wait, we saw Ted later on in the timeline. Dorothy seems so desperately happy to have possible friends.   That’s sad. Dorothy reminding her imaginary friends who the DP members were was a pretty good device to bring

Notes on - Legends of Tomorrow: Swan Thong

Swan Thong notes Charlies shoes are amazing Legends on TV is exactly the sort of thing totalitarian states do to pacify the masses The signs are very They Live Ava is genuinely glad Mona and Gary are OK If the fates control everything, how is there any contraband to be dumped Good job having Mona and Gary say, ‘ok, our function is done.   Bye! Seems like the Fates just want to be worshipped Worshiper:   Why?   Are they tired from the crossover? Atropos: (Sternly)   What is a crossover? Lachesis:   Ambitious villains are the product of the chaos you birthed. ***What do you think they would want?   More choices, or a lifetime of peace? Mick Rory’s waverider lock clicker is now a plot point.   I still hate it.   And that garbage pile was nowhere near big enough to cover the whole ship Mick’s breaking off on his own again Gideon has a central hard drive location which can be stolen This probably didn’t need Nate to take his shirt off.    But thank you.    

Notes on - Doom Patrol: Ezekiel Patrol

Ezekiel Patrol notes OMH, Alan Tudyks recap via Doctor Seuss to polka music was the best thing ever.   Finally they came together.   Hah! Mr. Nobody:   Cue the recap! ***This is the best timeline EVER! I still don’t get why Jane doesn’t age SO the chief caused their accidents as an experiment in immortality So Mr. Nobody didn’t have any plan for the patrol at all, he was just amusing himself with the bonus of hurting the chief I would watch a season of the Bachelor with Mr. Nobody Mr. Nobody:   I’m going to conduct a parade.   I’m gonna guest host The View.   I’m going to become the next Bachelor! He wanted Niles to feel like nobody Alan puts just the right amount of actual menace underneath the whimsy 1961 The Ant Farm Niles did go back to work for them!   He coordinated the whole test flight for Larry, and didn’t care that he had a wife and kids (and John) Rita was already a test subject for them.   I wonder why she didn’t get put i
