Notes on Doom patrol - Doom Patrol

 

Doom Patrol notes

‘The Future’

How far in the future?  Who is this?

“Have you or someone you know been infected?”

“Do the right thing”

Metal detector

A watch. 

Hey, it’s cyborg with low tech!  That’s a cool look.  That must be the time machine coming?

The present

Recording 297 - -Jane is Doctor Harrison now full time and has been for three months

So what happened with the giant ballsack?

The codpiece mission

So now they’re calling themselves the Doom Patrol and are acting like a super team

Rita is team leader

Cliff has his body back, but is still missing an arm.  How did we get here?

Seven successful missions.  That’s nice.  And she continues her use of notepads

Rita:  Until then, you’re Robotman.  Doctor Harrison is Crazy Jane. Larry is Negative Man.  Vic is Cyborg.  And Rouge… you’re Dogshit McGivens.

Rouge is trying SO hard to make up for things and take her punishment

So the brain’s box is controlling the time machine even though Cliff’s brain isn’t in it, and putting jellyfish on your head solves the problem of memory loss.  OK.

It’s nice to see Rita taking this much agency

Codpiece:  Not everyone can handle a full load from this big gun!

Rita:  So Juvenile

Dr. Harrison: Overcompensating much?

Cliff: Gross.

Cliffasaurus.  Heh.

Michelle Gomez and April Bowlby remain wonderful together.

Oh, OK.  Vic and his dad found and repaired most of Cliff’s body.  One assumes moved his brain back into it as well.

Cliff:  OK.  I’m gonna go rip his dick off.

Global supply chain problems.  I feel that one.

Vic is now the IT guy and is kept out of the way

Elasta Woman

Swallow the Rainbow.  Hah.  Nice penis mural

I want that sausage t-shirt

IT guy has an ass bazooka.  Huh.

So Dr. Harrison is framing this whole opening.

Deric Heyes – friend of Vics

Keeg

Larry can sort of fly now!

So Dr. Harrison is the tool to set up what everyone is lacking to start the season.  She’s filling us in on the new status quo

‘Do whatever the shrill ginger says’

Rouge is letting her memory get wiped

Rouge has taken to trying to track down all the people she consigned to being weapons

Doctor H is actually really useful, isn’t she

The alters are all looking for Kay except Jane.  She’s in the memory of grandma’s house.

Cyborg seems ashamed of not having powers anymore.  And seems touchy about the subject with his dad who appears to only be trying to help.

Silas and Vic are treating putting Cliff back together s a project

They gave him the sense of touch in one finger!  That’s sweet.  And it’s nanites so the feeling will spread.

I like that they’re using the proper codenames now

Rouge and Rita catch themselves being happy at the same time and get awkward

Cliff is really sentimental

Rita:  The time machine is not an Uber.  It is a crime fighting apparatus

Vic and Silas’ relationship has really healed.

Laura is literally begging Rita for forgiveness now

Shipley

Time goat?  Just another time goat??

There’s a screaming woman in the time stream

Rouge:  I know her.  She likes to watch people pee.  No judgment.

I like how they fused the time machine to the giant robot head

And now we’ve caught back up to the opening sequence

2019 decimation?

It’s good that they’ve been so vague about how far in the future they are

Larry:  Vienna sausages and Skittles.  Eww.  On both fronts.

I admit it.  I laughed out loud at the ‘You had to touch the weiner’ joke

2042.  That’s when we are

Really solid age makeup on Joivan Wade in the one natural spot

Future Vic:  Papers called it the Buttpocalypse.

Zombie Butts!!  I love that they picked up that last shot from Undead Patrol

SO this is an apocalyptic future that they made

Michelle Gomez is a fucking treasure.

REALLY effective use of split panel for them going to their older selves

Rita’s biggest fear is losing more friends to death and now she’s seeing that everyone is dead and it was her fault.

Dr. Harrison is confronted with having gotten the girl killed through her actions

Silas – last seen leaving STAR labs

Rouge was elected to represent on e of the sides in peace negotiations

Nice way to save on sets, BTW

Schematics for a black hole?

Cliff pissing himself off is on brand

So future Vic double crossed them to steak the time machine.  And all of the future selves were in on it

Love that Vic’s synthetic skin didn’t age

Caption- ‘Zombie butts thud against the door’.  Somebody wrote that

Future Vic carved ‘You can’t have it all’

Did K just murder Dr. H??

All the pieces are blank now

I like that Rita’s outfit echoed the OG DP ones

Laura is worried about the coincidence of seeing isobel Feathers in the time stream

We’re really going with ‘buttpocalypse’

Back to Bunbury and the sinister council!  Willoughby Kipling!

There’s a prophecy about the butts and someone named Immortus is going to rise, apparently,

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

Notes on Doom Patrol - Casey Patrol

  Casey Patrol notes Wait – animation opening sequence?   WTF? Torminox Inevitable.   Nice Thanos reference. OK, Dorothy’s telling the story. Wait, she’s telling a different story. Museum in an impossible place Horst Eisman.   Was that who Niles traded the necklace?   I don’t remember the details It took me way too lonmg to clock that these were the Dannyzens Hey there, Candlemaker. It’s really frustrating that they just dropped the DP plotline with no explanation You can tell she hadn’t really gotten back in touch with her father *** No matter how impossible the odds may seem, love always wins out. They very discretely did not utter or show the entirety of the gay slur written underneath fuck off and die.   That was tasatefully handled They’re fighting hate with colorful murals.   That’s sweet, but feels like it would never work Explain bona to vada Oh, ok.   That’s how they’re all living inside Danny the Ambulance.   I’d been wondering Where’s flex?

Notes on - Star Trek Deep Space Nine: Extreme Measures

  Extreme Measures notes   Bashir gets the opening log.   Odo is still super sick with the changeling sickness.   Good to establish the stakes right away Odo wants to know exactly how much time he has left. Odo is being all noble in character and wanting Kiri to go fight the rebellion without him Nice that he admits that he just doesn’t want her to watch him die.   And a little selfless of him.   Also, nice callback to Barreil Odo:   I don’t want the last thing I see to be pain in your eyes. This is skirting melodrama in a sappy way, but they get away with it The Breen weapon is still a thing going on in the background Way to play subtle, Julian. Genocide is an extreme measure Miles has decided to come clean with their plan to dupe section 31 to come to them and that the federation created the disease They’re filling the audience in on the whole lure section 31 plot already set up and bringing everybody up to speed so that they can get on with the story they’r
