Things I liked/loved:

Danielle Brooks fucking carried. Like. She IS the emotional keystone. this season would not be as good if she weren't there! she gets shit DONE. Her speech was just. chef's kiss. the best.

Really loved how she tapped into that Waller energy fr but for good

CHECKMATE, BITCHES!!! MR. TERRIFIC GET YOUR TEAM BITCH

I can tell this was a lot of fun to film, and the chemistry with the crew is so insane. I can tell these actors genuinely like each other

Fleury redemption arc baby! I fucking called that shit in my theory post way back

Adrian finally has a bro in Fleury <333 I would watch another 8 minutes of Tim Meadows and Freddie Stroma just throwing animal facts at each other. that must have been so much fun to film

Judomaster joining <3

Now listening to the after show podcast, hearing JG tear up about Chris/Peacemaker and that moment. damn dude. that got me for real.

John Economos getting a half-hug from Eagly <3 love my boys

methinks i see something ~happening~ between him and Sasha. yeah. that or Sasha/Adebayo pairing would be fire.

the candy world and zombie world ARGUS explored gave me major Lollipop Chainsaw vibes

Things I uh....didn't care for

man what the fuck. i wanted more dimensional hopping.

it felt really rushed. Like. Realllly rushed. and also slow at the same time tbh.

Don't get me wrong, I'm glad Sasha stopped hooking up with Flag but I wanted more tension between them and maybe a better on screen realization that as a metahuman, she'd also get fucked by his plans

can't believe they Jumanji'd my boy Chris. leave that white boy alone James Gunn

Like. I'm not getting the feeling that ARGUS is that major of a threat. it just makes me miss Lex Luthor as an antagonist, which I know we will see him in Man of Tomorrow but hmmmm.

Some of the jokes were...fine?

I also felt like we were getting lost from scene to scene. whose house was that? John's? I know we were back in Emiliar's apartment at one point but some of the establishing shots felt really ...confusing? Could be an edit/transition thing.

I guess I just wanted more time? More time to just settle with the characters. With ARGUS. With the dimension stuff. I wasn't asking for cameos or more easter eggs but i dunno dudes.

Look. I actually do like Peacecourt as a ship but I wanted more ups and downs and time away from each other to grow before getting together together. I really wish they didn't "get together" like that off screen (or half-off screen? idk).

I also wanted more friction with Adrian and Chris

I loved this episode. I love Adrian. I loved Ad's and Judo Master having fun together. I feel bad for Keith in the vacuum of losing his entire family but not for anything else bc fuck you?? Adrians mama does not need all this stress bro, that poor woman.

I related to Chris heavily on the "It's everything I touch." scene because wow..yeah. Felt that. ALSO the motorcycle scene where Harcourt feels safe enough to wrap her arms tightly around Chris, hold his hand AND close her eyes..she is so in love and I am so happy we got that scene.
