[TV] Doom Patrol Appreciation Thread

SPOILERS for "Cyborg Patrol"
So yeah .... Cyborg. What a mindfuck. From other reactions to previous eps, it certainly seemed so easy for us to imagine that Vic's dad had bad intentions and was somehow manipulating, if not outright programming, him. Vic bought it, and so did we. Mr Nobody is in our heads and shows us how easy it was to manipulate us into not trusting Silas. He is the narrator, after all - we see what he wants us to.

I was surprised we didn't see Vic's next door neighbor after the doors opened, but I guess he wasn't that important. Interesting that Larry remained conscious despite being separated from the Neg Spirit. I wonder why that would be in this case? Glad to see Rita use her powers, though she still has a ton of untapped potential for offense that she seems to not want to explore.

Butts.

Spoilers...

spoilers:

It appears that the neighbor was Flex Mentallo.

Oh and...

spoilers:

Loved the Star Wars, Ghostbusters and Resevoir Dogs references. It appears that Larry and the Negative Spirit can be separated longer than 60 seconds, and it's possible that after long periods away Larry could lose the protection that keeps him alive. Rita riding inside Cliff came as a surprise, because she hasn't learned how to shrink or grow, yet. So the thought didn't occur to me. I knew there was a reason for the Karen episode beyond setting up Jane's underground adventure. It was so this could happen. Nice! Didn't see that coming, either. Vic... Not sure what to think anymore. I was convinced that Silas caused the accident that killed Vic's mom and then covered it up by using faked footage. Then when Silas repeated everything Vic said in his hero speech to Nobody it made me think that Vic was saying it because it was programmed into him by Silas. I still don't think Silas was completely trustworthy... but... Nobody just did a Grade A old Doom Patrol mindf on Vic that will probably land him in Joshua's Home for the Broken. Looking forward to Flex next episode. I'm thinking he might be the key to defeating Nobody.

I've been a DC comics reader for many decades, but never read anything about the Doom Patrol. I have to say that I'm really enjoying this show!! It's absolutely ridiculous, with some of the most "out there" moments... but man is it FUN to watch!! I love the cast, love the craziness of it! I hope it sticks around for a while.

Oh yeah, Jane's interrogation scene was hilarious. The song selection was inspired. (I liked Ace of Bass )

Superb! I laughed myself sick.
Cliff dialogue with the scientist was hilarious too.
I can’t believe, this show can be better every time! Best Dc show by far

Oh yes, butts!

Just finished the Danny The Street episode. I love this show so, so much. They are absolutely nailing it so far.

If someone told me in 1992 that the most faithful adaptation of a comic to tv would be Morrison's Doom Patrol, I'd tell you to go smoke another one. We would never get that lucky.

But... here we are...

Wondering if Flex Mentallo will join the team as Cyborg did, or he will be a "special friend" like Danny the Street. I hope the former.

Very pleased with the new episode.
Very pleased.

And Danny returns next week!!

That's my vote!

I was afraid that Vic was bowing out of the show with the way it ended until I saw him pop up at the end of next week's preview. Don't scare me like that!
