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 in the ant farm?  Did the bureau ok her going to Doom Manor?

Wait, Josh is in on the bad guy plan??

Larry and Rita got a nice little place together and Rita’s a drama teacher now.  That’s nice

OK, so it’s been six months since the opening reveal

Larry’s learning to control his relationship with the NS

Jagger and Esme?  Jesus.

Wow, Rita’s scene with that high school kid is SUPER inappropriate

Esme is a bitch

1976

Rita:  Larry!  Hurry up!  You’re missing the booty song

Larry’s NYE glasses.  So funny/

Well, that explains why Niles could rescue larry from the ant farm

Immortus initiative

How are the investigators identifying opportunities for people that could become immortal?  What’s the profile?

Niles had put a tracker on Jane a decade earlier then lost her

Jane going to attack Josh over the revelation is so on brand.

Was that Black Annis?

You know, Niles just gave Jane superpowers.  He isn’t the one that broke her

But damn, Diane Guerrero kills those character changes

It was all the stages of grief via multiple personalities

Niles developed an opiate for dampening metapowers

Josh’s sign – Today is  a great day to be amazing

Really great visual of all the alters laying down in the glade

1988 – Doom Manor

Is that Vic’s dead mom?

Huh, so apparently killing Cliff’s family was the line that Niles couldn’t face crossing

Elinore

Does the food truck have no questions about a robot buying dinner?

It’s unclear when exactly Jane and Josh’s confrontation was, but  the junkie metaphor was spot on

What did Niles tell Elinore?  Was she still his friend after?

Silas is sharp to call bullshit on Niles

Apparently Elinore was not OK with whatever Niles told her

Silas:  You speak to me about compassion.  Don’t ever.  Don’t you dare.

So Cliff is taking care of Jane, Rita and Larry are sharing a house and she’e teaching drama to shitty kids

Mr. Nobody is apparently drinking Blue Caracao.  

The ‘certainly not forbes’ magazine has a cover picture of Cliff as ‘The Worst TV show ever?

The Doom Patrol review is literally the word blah over and over again

I wish I’d been there when they told Alan Tudyk about being drunk on the toilet

Ezekial the Cockroach:  Be still, you fudger!  Be still, I say!
Drunk Mr. Nobody who by the way still has his pants down:  Did you just call me a fudger?

Ezekial and Mr. Nobody are essentially hashing our the action show v character show debate
Surprisingly well animated cockroach.

Mr. Nobody is bored and Ezekial takes that as a sign that he needs to give him religion

Mr. Nobody summoning an ipad to rewatch the plot point about the mysterious ‘she

Mr. Nobody:  Admiral Whiskers?  I love that guy.
Mr. Nobody:  And we shall call ourselves, The Brotherhood of Dangerous Animals!
Ezekial:  Hosanna!
Admiral Whiskers:  Tight.
Mr. Nobody:  Yes, it is tight, Admiral Whiskers!

Rita’s getting cyber-bullied by a 13 year old girl.

This whole new plot is just because he already won and is bored off his ass

Rita’s gotten really proactive!

Jane and Cliff being tormented by Chumbawumba

Jane:  You uh… you want to go fuck up whoevers playing it?
Cliff:  Fuck, yeah!

LOVE Rita and Larry’s scooters

Cliff:  So, my timing might be shit here, but I for one am grateful that a disembodied Chumbawamba has brought us all back together.

How did the chief beam the music to all if them?

It’s vague on whether the Chief set up Rita or what all went down there

Cliff:  I’m sorry, what part of ‘fuck you forever’ was in Hebrew?

We find out through a newspaper headline that Flex got all the Dannyzens to safety.

AHHHHHHH that’s how the beard hunter ended up on Danny!

Giant evangelical kaiju cockroach!

Beard Hunter sold out Dorothy for ZZ Top hair

Nobody wanted to get Niles wife, not daughter.  

Dorothy made Ezekial and Whiskers huge.

Doll Hospital!  That’s where the Beard Hunter was lured to

They all have their own legit reasons for helping

Rita and Nobody doing shots is charming.

Ah, the Chumbawumba was Danny shouting for help

Mr. Nobody turning his narrating powers to help the team

Cliff arguing with Whiskers from inside his belly was fun

So they all have to get inside the cockroach

Love the Valiant Little Squirrel song!

So they have to find a way to get Cliff from inside Whiskers to inside Ezekial

Mr. Nobody:  Um, OK.  OK, I’m just vamping here.  Then.. Then Ezekial noticed Whiskers.  I mean, he really noticed him.  Why, he had been so busy becoming the architect of the apocalypse and all, that he had failed to see what was right before his eyes, but there he was.  Ezekiel’s right hand in the destruction of this loathsome world.  Another  meek and forgotten creature.
Admiral Whiskers:  I want to spread you like the plague, Daddy
Ezekiel: Really?  Ohhhh, Whiskers!

So… there’s a giant cockroach making out with a giant rat…

Danny’s now just a brick after the explosion.  Mr. Nobody and Beard Hunter’s fate is a question mark.  They’re stuck in a blank canvas

And now they’re al stuck small except Larry.  I notice they didn’t show Dorothy’s face (probably hadn’t cast her yet)

END NOTE -  Hope this was interesting and/or informative.   I really just want a place to catalog my notes.  Anybody that finds this amusing is a bonus :)

Notes on - Doctor Who: Joy to the World

  Doctor Who – Joy to the World notes. The Queen’s Hotel – Manchester 1940 I quite like Basil and Mrs. Basil Why are we in WWII again? Basil: It’s the end of everything, you know. Everything we hold dear.   Democracy itself will fall. I hate Pumpkin Latte Aren’t those locked doors pretty much always just connecting rooms? Orient Express – Italy – 1962 Do a lot of people read Murder on the Orient Express on the Orient   Express?   Bit on the nose. OK, we’re opening with a montage of the Doctor bursting in on various time periods and places to offer them the same lukewarm toastie and pumpkin Latte.   That’s a pretty clever way to establish the concept of the hotel from the back door, as it were MOTOE is a much thicker book than that.   And she has handwritten pages Base camp – Everest 1953.   Is there only one base camp? Sandringham Hotel – London 2024.   So, time of airing then. I’m not loving Joy’s outfit Apparently the...

Notes on - American Gods: Tears of the Wrath-Bearing Tree

  Tears of the wrath bearing tree notes Eggs with two yolks always freak me out What’s with the boxer walking in and out? Bilquis needs to find ‘the other’ and convince him he isn’t alone? They’re really lening into the fluid in slow motion shots. OK, the wax forming the US was cool.   And a nice visual to introduce the concept of the exact center of the US So who is Shadow’s other?   Laura?   TB?   Wednesday?   We saw all three of them Shadow jiust claimed the ravens as his own. That was a pretty tenuous description for him to recognize Laura from, but then he did know she was headed to kill Wednesday ****   One shock at a time. He’s still Crispin Glover.   I thought he was only supposed to be in one episode this season.   I wonder what the real reason for the casting changes was How did he convince Laura to go the the Gods place? World very carefully told Laura that Shadow was there and then played every reverse psyc...

Notes on - Doctor Who: The Well

  The Well Notes The Doctor and Belinda are trying to get back to 5/24/25 after just one vindicator reading.   That seems optimistic, but it is a good way to remind audience of the basic setup of ‘stop and take readings. Belinda is very methodical and logical. Good skill set for a nurse. Belinda: Have we been invaded? Or hit by a meteor? Or swatted by a giant moth? The Doctor: Oh.   Imagine a moth that big! I love how healthy Belinda’s relationship with her parents is *** I will meet your mum and dad. And I will make your dad laugh. And your mum can whistle at my behind. And I will sing.   I will do the singing. That is a promise. So a second triangulation reading from the vindicator 500,000 years in the future She’s asking good questions and it’s allowing the Doctor to   give his standard ‘humans are awesome’ shtick, but is also very cleverly letting them slip in the required ‘The TARDIS translates’ explanation. OK, I am officially in love w...
