What was Mikey Thinking?

  Dada Patrol notes I like the opening needle drop on the ‘charred in effigy’ Chief. Kay is seeing the psychiatrist inside the underground. Why is Kay growing now?   New shoes/injured feet as a metaphor for Kay growing in relevance to herself. Kay wants to go up and ‘drive’ Love Jane standing up for Kay’s right to grow up and run her life Missing on the milk carton – Isabel Feathers.   Do we know her?   Is that going to be Mme Rouge based on the feather association? Cliff is going gaga over online baby pictures. Cliff:   L. M. F. A. O. Vic: DO you even know what that means? Cliff:   Yeah.   Love My Fucking Awesome Offspring. How does Cliff not know not to click on popups?   OK, it is Cliff Hey, Cyborg got his powers back And Cliff isn’t patient enough to wait for the pills to help so he figures they’ll work faster if he takes more.   Idiot.   But very on brand. So how did Silas now manage to turn Cyborg back on?   Cyborg’s no longer trackable by S.T.A.R.

  The Need for Speed notes We pick up where we left off.   Gary is Hoover sick and Behrad knows a surprising amount about engines. It feels like the soda should lead somewhere but it doesn’t. Nate is taking hoover being dead really hard I like that they’re remembering that nate is a historian for once. Nate’s realluy just underlining that they’ve been stripped of all their critches and might have to deal with consequences for once Having Nate pretend to be Hoover so no one realizes he’s dead as a way to keep the timeline on track is pretty clever Is Gary only nauseus as an excuse to cough up hair for the spell or is that a clue that Hoover isn’t really Hoover? LOVE the updated old timey credits. Interesting that Spooner, who’s known Gideon the least, is the one to recognize her How funny, after years of being a voice with no physical presence they’re having her be a presence with no voice. Oh, was the soda bottlwe just to get a vessel to make the potion in? **

  Bullet blondes notes Odessa, TX 1925 Super fun way to do the previously on recap, with townspeople giving reports to the uninterested sheriff *** Life, it’s gonna start going our way So obviously the mystery of the season is when does that other Waverider come from and why did it blow up this version of their ship? SUCH a good idea to shake up the formula and strand them in one time and place for a bit. I also kind of like that they didn’t just say ‘uh oh, we don’t have time couriers on us’ It’s a little weird that they’re so immediately into killing the crew of the other waverider and never considering that the other crew might be them. Astra with an Ax is a mood. Ava sets out from the beginning that they need to avoid unwanted attention.   She’s always the voice of reason on temporal issues.   At some point Spooner’s mom is going to come back Pastor Hanson Of course people heard the explosion They don’t have the flasher either.   Love that they’ve lost a
