Notes on - Doom Patrol: Sex Patrol

 

Sex Patrol notes

London 1978.  So Niles did keep coming to visit.  He still should have based out of Danny

So why isn’t Dorothy aging?  Did she wish not to?  Niles certainly knows enough to be afraid of her wishing

She.  Can’t. Stay. Here. Forever.

So Niles already had Rita, Larry and Jane by this point.

Larry’s suspicious that Niles is only trying to cure Danny so he can send Dorothy back to them

Why isn’t Flex Mentallo ever at my door.

Flex:  I felt a muscle spasm in my upper thigh and knew Danny was in trouble.

Maura:  There’s more than one way to pump our friend up.

I Love the thought of Danny being powered by love and music

Rita:  Can’T you just pump Danny up?

Flex: Heh.. I don’t pump.  I… flex.

It takes some serious skills to get up on a table in those heels

Who doesn’t bring an evening bag full of feather boas

WTF didn’t Niles let Dorothy party with the other Dannyzens?  They would have looked out for her

The hours until bedtime framing device was fun

‘The Hangman’s Beautiful Daughter’!

Hammerhead is bjectively ‘right’ about the only thing that matters being protecting the girl

Nicely staged moment with Cliff pointing out that zlters equipped to handle one specific problem aren’t going to be able to handle life as a whole

Cliff:  Whose job is it, the ;ady with the sun for a head?

Good that Cliff knew it wasn’t Jane

Flex:  Well hey there little lady.  Who the long face?

Dorothy:  This is just how I look.

God flex is good with Dorothy. Best dad on every level.

So nice that Flex has chest hair.  It’s a little out of fashion

Flex can wiggle his ears!  So can I

The angel wings made Dorothy flying even more special a moment

It was a doll hospital, not a doll factory.

Everybody is being sweet to Dorothy except Niles

Rita:  Well, we’re all beautiful Dorothy.  But sometimes we use enhancements.  Great answer.

Danny party 1.0 – what a snoozefest!

Party people, binary and non binary

Maura Lee’s sexy nurse costume was a nice touch

I’m the only one who doesn’t care for Pure Imagination

I wonder if that was him playing or her singing, for real.

I love that Flex is a bit older casting

The song brought Peeping Tom’s perpetual Cabaret back

Niles is overcompensating with the excuse of keeping Dorothy safe

Scarlet Harlot:  Never trust an art major to leave a house!

Rita and Larry dancing!  Best Friend goals!

I could watch Flex make cupcakes all day long.

Larry’s flirting skills need work

It makes sense that Rita would be jealous of Flex’ bodily control

I don’t think Flex is into Rita, per se.  He’s just a really good guy

Why does the candlemaker want Dorothy to go back to the party?  Is he a manifestation of her Id?

All orgasms should take place ten minutes after bedtime

Flex apologizing for giving everyone orgasms – so in character

Rita:  Could you do it again?

Flex: Well, we’d probably have to warn everybody first and make sure they’re properly hydrated…

Rita thinks having a big orgasm will fix her problems.  They often do.

So the plotline is actually pretty linear.  Rita wants control of her body/powers.  Flex has control of his body/powers.  She wants him to gain the same inner peace to get that control via orgasm

The wildlife montage is both hysterical and a GREAT transition to Kathmandu to meet the enigmatic Mr. Smith

Yes Rita, I am feeling the exact same response to his flexing…

Ooo…  vision of mom… definite boner killer.  Good call on tying it to the throwaway line to Dorothy earlier.

The Chief offers an olive branch of fixing Cliff’s hand like he asked

Niles:  If it’s any consolation, I’d like to punch me too.

Cliff has the same problem as Rita atm – he needs to get out of his head.  So the chief gives hum ecxtasy

****I’m in a full blown psychological crisis, and you’re offering me ecstasy

Wouldn’t Dorothy have aged emotionally if not physically

Drag queens give THE BEST ADVICE

Maura Lee:  The Dannyzens and I have been out in the world for the past month.  And, sadly, the world hasn’t changed that much.  People still made jokes behind my back and to my face. My trans sisters still being murdered. Human beings are cruel to people that are different from them.  Out there, I had to read a motherfucker. He was screaming at me calling me all kinds of freak. I let him know, he hated the fact that I was human. Just like him.  That’s what disturbed him. That we somehow breathe the same air and walk the same streets. So much self hatred out there.  And people turn that hatred on anyone that doesn’t look or act like them  Life is short, Vic.  Go where you feel love.  And if that love’s consistent, stay.

 

So Rita’s mom screwed the producer to get Rita her first part

Kiss:  Are we talking potential world wide sextinction here?

Kiss:  I’m Kiss.  She’s torture.  We’re here to save the world from a paranormal sexual event.

Jane:  I have so many questions.

Nice use of the ghostbusters look

Every line by the sex men is quotable

The Shadowy Mr. Evans.  Was he a sex demon in the comics?

Even the shot composition is echoing ghostbusters

The sex ghosts seem much happier than usual ghosts

Niles:  Listen to them Vic, they’re sexperts.

It was either cuddles or hand stuff!

So it’s all kind of about protecting children’s innocence

Oh, nice tie in to protecting the girl!

They even set up the ice pick earlier.  This is a seriously

Think of potatoes.  Ha!

If the baby cries, all childhood incense will disapper

That had to be a tough call on the resolve.  They couldn’t just kill a baby

Hammerhead is the primary now?

Niles kept her locked away to keep her safe.  It’s Rapunzel

Here comes Danny the ambulance

Rita’s last moment bit of cruelty really stung

So what was Dorothy going to wish for then???

And why woud the Candlemaker refuse?
