DACK FAYDEN posted:Did they? I thought Doe and Cardholder were Guild double agents for some reason. Right. Hunter is assuming the investigators have some tie to the Guild like Doe and Cardholder. He was right, but now it's clear that the CIA has no known affiliation with the Guild.

Dammit, I bet that OSI shirt is one of those near-sheer thin shirts that I, as a fat guy, am not comfortable wearing. Otherwise, I'd get it.

Love that we get more Cardholder and Doe-esque characters and that Mister is an actual title for them. I also enjoyed the SHED doctor from the beginning of season 4, as well as the plastic surgeon, making a comeback. I also noticed in the preview that Dean has Buster's hand chair in his room. (not really a spoiler but I know how these threads can be) Goddamn I love this show.

Although I still can't get over how much of a bad shot Hatred was in that episode. Perhaps he should let go of the 'cool' factor and always use only one gun, and preferably not run while shooting.Red posted:Hatred took them to the safest room in the ship.

Red posted:Can you even get the original Shirt Club shirts? How much do they go for? If you're looking for an original run that's actually unworn then you might as well be St. Cloud. They only produced enough for people who ordered, like this run. You could snag them on eBay in the months after, usually for dumb prices, but most of those were knock-offs too. I suppose you might find someone who threw them in a closet or who wants to sell gently-worn used ones, but I'd be surprised. If you just want the deisgns, they go for the price that internet sites charge people to sell their own (like Redbubble), because tons of people have shamelessly ripped them off. And you probably want to look at images of the originals just to make sure they got it right, some have slightly different colors or designs. However, it's really the best way to get the same shirts and they'll probably cost you 25-30 bucks max. I haven't gotten any of the ones I'm missing, but I'm not really sure on the quality of blanks those sites use. If they're good then I don't see how they could mess up the simpler designs like Hatred or Killinger. I really want a Guild shirt but last time I looked it seemed like none of the designs were identical to the original.

I feel like Season 3 has an actual plot to it in ways that the other seasons don't, which is interesting- there's very much a sequence of events, whereas the other seasons are all standalones or advancing themes and feelings for the most part, like Season 4 showing the boys growing up.

Uh, so why did the Investors pretend to be the internal affairs guys or whoever they are? I don't get that. Was it just to confirm Molotov was dead? They killed Monstroso themselves, after all. I guess maybe to confirm that they hadn't been exposed in any way; Brock still thinks Monstroso just vanished so obviously anonymity is important to them. I don't know, that felt sort of like a twist for the sake of a twist at the end there.

argh the Hatred stuff is driving me crazy, I don't know why they had to fudge it with some kind of OSI drug-interaction nonsense except for the same "loving fans, OK here's a one-liner about Kim turning into a preppie now shut up" response the show so often has to fans harping on stupid minor points. Breasts are a real-world side effect of chemical castration (nomolestol), no super soldier serum needed. Alan Turing committed suicide after developing breasts as a result of his court-ordered chemical castration -- ordered because of a consensual encounter with an adult man in the privacy of his own apartment, no less. The parallels between Vatred-pedo and Turing-gay make me more than a little queasy, but point is it wouldn't be the first time the government rewarded someone who went to war for their country with hormone shots and unwanted tits. So there you go. Maybe they're angling for the cop-out of "super soldier shots made him a pedo in the first place" but there's no supersciencey drug interaction required, just intelligence orgs being total dicks.

Wow you're spergin pretty hard here over nothing,  , etc...talk about harping on stupid minor points.This was a good episode, probably the second best this season after the premier. I read a review of some episode recently that said that episodes tend to go more for either advancing the plot or for laughs and rarely balance the two, which I agree with. This episode leaned much more to the plot side.

Yeah. Having not read any of the descriptions spoiling the next couple episodes of the season, I'm wondering if they're going to do one big tie-in with the Sergeant Haines, super soldier ("Him?") serum, and the birth of Hatred. Also, what ever happened to the hovertank? You think it would have come in handy more than once at this point?
