Notes on - Doom Patrol: Vacay Patrol

  Vacay Patrol notes Brain and Monsieur Mallah!   They’re prefect! Brotherhood of Evil, 1949 Niles has taken out their man in Paraguay along with Eric Morden *** Je m’en fous! The intercom gag is priceless. It took me half the episode to recognize Billy Boyd Garguax the Decimator! So why did brain want Rita eliminated?   Who cares.   Maybe to keep her from joining the team? Samuelson Codsville Mountain Resort? The over the top deployment of weapons followed by decades of waiting. Samuelson miming firing the big gun was cute. *** In the meantime, our presence here will go completely unnoticed. And yet he still has himself announced in the dining hall. That gramophone announcer is brilliant The use of silence in the comedy is fantastic Love that Garguax doesn’t hesitate to shake Jim Thompson’s hand and then is immediately accepted as 50s guy Garguax:   Ever vigilant.   Garguax. Nice touch of the newspaper article showing the original DP.   Week 326

Notes on - Doom Patrol: Possibilities Patrol

  Posssibilities Patrol notes Cliff watching the previously on on a VHS tape was cute. ***   OK.   Now what? So Dorothy was dragged through the fire and wakes up in a cage in the woods being taunted by the candlemakers voice This is where the candlemaker began as a whisper?   What does that mean? Uh, why is there a convenient bow and arrow right in the cage? Oh, none of that is really happening.   OK Candlemaker:   It is destiny.   It is the way. Dorothy:   Then let’s change the way Oh, they’re on the moon So Dorothy is sentencing the Candlemaker to an infinite time out until he agrees to be her friends again.   I like that. It’s not 100% clear what really happened with all the cage stuff.   Was that the candlemaker’s asserted reality, and Dorothy fought back with her own? The candlemaker ‘lived in her head’ and was her friend.   Is that all the information we’re going to get about him? What caused all the wax to suddenly break?   Was that a sign that the Ca

Notes on - Legends of Tomorrow: The Fungus Amongus

  The Fungus Amongus notes   Mick would absolutely not be unharmed by that explosion, nor would the rest of the team We’ve obliterated Gideon’s mainframe Bishop stole kayla’s ship Good time for Behrad to return.   Good thing he didn’t come back during the explosion Behrad believes the lie that you can fix an addict. Good way to trap Kayla with the team. Olivia Swann actually pulls off the MOST expository line of dialogue bringing everyone up to date ever. So John’s body left behind a mushroom So just off the cuff, John’s dead and Mick’s fine. The CPU is obliterated and Kayla is fixing it.   Is this how Gideon becomes corporeal? It’s kind of sweet how the show is refusing to differentiate between Lita and the eggs. We’re still in Texas 1925 These are the same aliens that overran Bishop’s planet, aren’t they?   Is he in control of them now?   *** We are so screwed. Zagrons The fountain isn’t dead, just dying Gary:   We just have to save the fountai
