What was Mikey Thinking?

  Portal Patrol notes Whst’s with the WWII airplane?   Should I get that reference? Dinosaur! Can you die in the time stream? WTF???   Half a horse? Deploy the pod? Vic’s made a flattened dodecahedron? Cliff:   So… Technically we’re inside you? Cliff has totally given up What do the alters want Jane to say?? Oh, Vic doesn’t know Rita’s dying Keeg can go get info,   That’s a nice use of him And Keeg can hack into GRID to broadcast plot info OK, so basic setup, there are three portals where there’s longevity and no Immortus.   Side quests for plot coupons! Larry:   You should know that everyone deserves second or third chances. Cliff:   Boo. Why do they need Vic’s kmnuckles? OK, so they can pull them back.   That works. Nice seeding of the possibility that one of the portals might be in the future. Cliff:   What, my mitt’s not good enough but you’ll grab on to a used maxipad wrapped in a trenchcoat? ...

  Immortimas Patrol notes Carol of the Bells style open credits music!   They’re saying ‘Doom Patrol’ over and over again. Let’s party like it’s Immortimus! The candles are a nice touch Hey, it’s a musical episode!   I genuinely did not know they were going to do one Dorothy:   Good morning, sex ghosts! Sex Ghosts:   Good morning, Dorothy! Song – Immortimus Day! Aww, Casey climbing in the window so that Jane would be the first one she saw was sweet Wait, are we just forgetting Shelley now? Diane Guerrero has a good voice! So Isabel has re-written the world so it’s alwaysa holiday all about her Michelle Gomez… not a super strong singer… We love her anyway Laura made ugly Immortimus sweaters for everyone.   I love that And Cliff has his human body back! Brendan Fraser – also not a great singer I love that the sex ghosts are all the backup characters/singers/dancers Aww, Deric sent gifts. So Vic and Deric have a successful...

  Fame Patrol notes   Nice needle drop. So everybody that we care about survived the Immortus thing? I was worried about Deric for a second Jane is PISSED Casey holding Wally and Torminex.   No love for Doctor Janus??   They don’t even show us her body. Laura:   A Pile of dead corpses in a giant crate is fairly sobering They’re all trying to figure out what the hell is going on with IsobelImmortus Cliff hadn’t even registered that Dorothy had shown up. Casey is doing a good job of showing the confusion that a fictional character would feel being pulled into reality *** We’ll figure this out together.   I promise. Bye Deric.   We’ll miss you.   Good on you for going to check on your family though. I hope that this isn’t the last we see of Deric. So Deric’s telling him to find a new way to be Cyborg? No way Deric got an Uber there that fast. Rita is barely pretending that her reasons for killing Isobel aren’t personal...

  Hope Patrol notes How did Baby Jane get in the back of the car Cliff:   I’ve been big for hours.   Sorry.   That sounded weird. Now Jane is also aging.   So Bunbury did take her longevity Cliff is fixing the car for Rory *** It’s just acid reflux.   Welcome to middle age. They’re having to patch the two episodes together with expository dialogue Why is the mitt talking to Cliff now? Is he hallucinating?   Is it a fugue state? Deric is driving Vic home.   None of this matches up with the end of the last episode, really Deric is a D & D nerd Kay gave all of the alters puzzles to keep them occupied Is Trauma the name of th Miranda/daddy thing from last season?   Must be Kay’s gone all nihilist/end of days Rouge and Rita are still on the park bench Rouge: Well, evidently, we turned into babies before the bus came.   So, either we were too small for the bus driver to see us, or the human race really is lack...

Youth patrol notes Larry meditating.  So, does that mean things are ok with Keeg now? And Vic still has his robot, so they’re tying threads together Rita is still unconscious from Dr. Janus OK, So Keeg is off still Jane is getting stoned and still has the orgasm inducing puzzle piece And now we’re masturbating.  That was a different transition to the underground Really?  The alters don’t allow Jane to masturbate? Jane’s necklace says fuck OK, now I’m confused.  What’s going on with Jane and the alters Laura got Cliff a junker to fix up How did Willoughby get in the back seat The whole world is talking about Immortus and blaming the DP? Oh, Rita’s up now.  That’s a relief Aaand she has aging spots.  Whatever Janus drained from her is making her age now What’s the connection between Keeg, Rutherfordium, and Larry? Rouge knew Willoughby was looking for booze.  They’re great together And finally we get some info on what ...

  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...
