Notes on - Doom Patrol: Orqwith Patrol

 

Orqwith Patrol notes

Is Rita dreaming?  Oh no, we left off here

*** OK, I know you’re having some sort of disassociative episode right now, but could you please re-associate?

They have death squads?

Rita:  Can’t you move any faster?

Rouge:  I’m a suitcase!

I’d forgotten that Rita and Rouge were in the ant farm

I love that Deric is being so task oriented.  And Vic is so sxaseperated

Deric:  Oh Yeah!  Rock beats scissors, motherfuckers!

OK, so we don’t know for sure that Rita squished Wally

Rouge isn’t wrong about the lack of residual goo

Was Wally made of ink?

Rogue:  ( reading note)  Gone to Orqwith… for J’s longevity and.. rescue Larry.. if there’s time.

Deric’s solution with drawing the rock is ingenious

How exactly are they planning to rescue Jane’s longevity?

They’re doing a good job of recapping

Cliff:  How are we going to get passed the beauty school dropouts.  Also, how do they dress themselves?  Or… pee?

So Wally Sage telkeported himself back to being young in Orqwith instead of being squished?

I like Jane’s plan to stab Cliff’s brain

OK, so the longevities are purple

I like Deric with drawing superpowers

Yeah, let Deric use the cool arm cannon

Rouge is trying so hard to make Rita OK

Rita:  I’m far too busy being unmoored and useless to build a portal today.

Rita is blaming Rouge for what happened.  Not cool.

I love watching Michelle Gomez and April Bowlby together

We were on the road to goodness.  SO sad

Although I guess Rita is just expressing her need for space to calm down.

Wally’s creating his own flashback story inages

So Niles got Wally to find the piece of immortus to help Dorothy

Why did Wally create a farting donkey for the task

The Donkey’s name was Peanutbutter

Nice flaming sword!

Vic made himself a lightsaber!  Cool sword fight

Vic:  You ok D?

Deric:  I think I broke my ass

Jane:  Do you want to touch this weirdo’s shrivelled up dick charm, or not?

Cliff:  … OK.

Infinite potential starts in a grocery store

Oh, this is why they established that they’re laser tag enthusiasts

Rita’s heavy into self pity mode

Madame Rouge’s speech about trying

Rouge’s embarrasing admission that she couldn’t figure out how to help Rita and so she didn’t try.

Man, they are committed to holding Rouge accountable for past actions

Madame Rouge:  I wanted to help, but I couldn’t.  I couldn’t fiugurer out how.  SO IO had a few drinks, to get the creatove juices flowing.  And instead, I came up with creative ideas on how to continue drinkiing.  But, um.. You’re right to remind me of that failure.  Too.

This is so raw and real.  I love the relationship between these two women!

They keep forgetting about Larry.

Paper goods IS the worst aisle.

Of course Cliff immediately gives in to his pretend daughter

Deric is trying to explain to Vic how being Cyborg didn’t suck

Yeah Deric,  Call Vic out on his pity party!

Wallowing in self pity is a real theme in this episode

Still getting Labyrinth vibes

Finally, Larry!

Deric is adorably nerdy

Rouge:  I would shove it right up my wee beaver-beaver.

Oh, right.  Rita would have residual guilt over killing the Brain

The universe wants them to be enemies so they’re not going to let it

Oh, her issue is that she doesn’t feel guilty about murdering

This is the weirdest bonding session of all time

Dabbing with Rita!  Ha!

Of course Rita brings the liqour cart

Why is Rory older?  And what was that song?

Of course they’re tempting Cliff with the opportunity to be part of Rory’s life

Cliff betraying Jane is breaking my heart

So, Cliff is the last longevity to get

Larry’s trying to sacrifice himself for Keeg.  That tracks too

Oven Mitt Rory kind of calls him out at the last moment, but too late

Rita and Rouge wheeling in the drinks cart

Hey!  Space Case!

Jane:  Who in the ginger fuck are you?

Drawing to the rescue again!

Isobel Feather is Immortus???

Well that certainly ties things back together

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
