Thank you!<br /><br />It had never occurred to me, but your right about this being the 'dark tone' that Snyder keeps trying and failing to make work, done correctly.

Well you're about to find out because lucky for you I have ZERO knowledge of the comic books besides what you've revealed in previous reviews and our conversations on Twitter. (I am writing this comment before reading the review so you get a pure take on the episode)<br /><br />This was an excellent episode. Batshit crazy, ofc, but that's kind of the point of the show, isn't it? Doom Patrol seems to have captured the darkness DC is so hungry for in a way that isn't entirely off-putting the way BvS et al. are. I mean Mr. Nobody turning the police into piñatas and having people eat their guts? Dark. BUT NOT BORING. Of course the Chief has an asylum for his discarded superheroes. Makes total sense because Niles is, among other things, a big fat jerk. He kind of reminds me of the Doctor in a way, the way he leaves his companions and only rarely looks back. LOVE that Jane had a room there, like he knows she will eventually break completely. Also I really loved the imagery of drowning in puzzle pieces.<br /><br />The episode made me much more curious about Rita's background. All the characters on this show are so interesting and complex and are all played so well it's so exciting to delve into their psyches and see what makes them tick.<br /><br />I have no idea who the original Doom Patrol characters were in the comics or antyhing but the episode held up anyway. This show is very twisted but in the funnest way. sunbunnynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-63449680520267473712020-05-15T16:51:22.319-04:002020-05-15T16:51:22.319-04:00That made me laugh really hard as well.

"Mikey Heinrich reviews 'Doom Patrol Patrol,' an episode of 'Doom Patrol'." LOL.Billie Douxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17141769005175631213noreply@blogger.com
