[TV] Doom Patrol Appreciation Thread

I wish they would announce it already.

They haven't announced it yet? Wth?! Lol I just googled it and neither YJ or DP have been renewed yet. That sucks! Hopefully they announce it at comic con, with some new shows too, like Outsiders, Outlaws or JSA or something...

"Thankfully, he was shot in the mineral" made me LOL for real. Nothing else in this episode compares to that, sorry.

Oh Jesus... Episode 13 was 100% fantastic. This is just the best Superhero TV show in history. Terrific character development, genius screenplays and wonderful special effects.

Whoa, the meta-ending with Mr. Nobody is actually a bit creepy, I must say. I love it.

Just one question... is it me or Flex, during the 1964 flashback, reveals that the Negative Spirit comes from another dimension?

Yeah, that aspect of Negative Man is influenced by Gerard Way's recent run on Doom Patrol where the Negative Being took Larry and Cliff to his home dimension, called Negative Space.

I'm not able to watch this show on TV, but I plan to get it when it's released on Blu-ray.

Yep.

I cannot for a second believe that they just randomly happened upon that approach.

Yeah. After all, the Chief already hinted at that during the "interrogation tape", when the Spirit "possessed" a machine.

So basically the radiation storm opened some portal and the Negative Spirit was sucked into our dimension, fusing with Trainor.


I don't understand why the powers of the Spirit are still so "vague". For instance, why couldn't he phase through the walls in the 721 Cell?

In the comics, he couldn't pass through lead.
The walls may have been covered or filled with it.

I'm going to chalk it up to them all still being fairly new to it - I mean, Flex certainly made enough of a hole for Neg to slip in and disrupt the machines that were keeping him in check.

Yeah, right. Maybe, quite simple, the Spirit was not aware of its own powers...


There's an "error". Jane claims that she has known Caulder for 50 years. It should be 40. Or maybe she time-traveled and met him in 1968?

[Lee Stone]

Well... I didn't expect them to go there this early...

spoilers:

But Chief is gonna be roasted next episode... The orgasm scene was a bit long... but OMG it was worth it. LMAO The Doom Patrol finally defeated their demons this episode and accepted who they are, just to be brought back down with Chief's revelation. I also fell for Nobody's fake-out. I looked at the remaining time and was like 'that's it?' Boy, I'm glad it wasn't

I had these card templates I had thrown together a while back and I came across some images of the cast that I thought would look good on cards...

So, voila, an unofficial set of retro-styled collectors cards.
Collect all 7*!



(*The 7th card didn't get made. Nobody showed up for the photo shoot.)
