The last about 30 seconds of that episode were delightful. Such a lot of extra story packed into such a short time.

Holy fuckin' poo poo. Totally worth it.

They are, yes. Halpern tweeted about it. It's basically a show about Jewish supervillains (yep, Harley's Jewish too) by Jewish writers.

So the CW crossover Crisis on Infinite Earths made it explicit that Doom Patrol and Titans are not set in the same universe. Which I guess is a workaround for how they don't quite match up.

Makes sense that there'd be Cyborg dopplegangers. Also I really, really want Cliff to meet Doppleganger Cliff. Like have one of them also be Robotman but in a sleek teched out body.

I’m guessing the long term plan is to have Kiteman be considerate but without ambition, and Harley to have ambition but inconsiderate, and it will be Harley that finally learns to be both, but it would have been nice not to fill Harley's brain with fundamental red flags, and then have Ivy go "Yeah, better put a ring on this".

Well, above all else, it's a farce. So you mmmmmay be overthinking this a bit.

Secondly, they're already swerving in that direction with Harley and Ivy having a massive spat and not talking to each other currently. So it is being addressed.

Ivy has a canonical penchant for killing "tiresome lovers," so...yeah.

Pretty sure she's into Kite Man because even though he's a douchebag, he seems *aware* he's a non-threatening douchebag and he willfully dials it back when she calls him on it. She's a woman who gets off on controlling people, and she very clearly has near-complete control over him *without* using her pheromones.

I think you're reading too much of comics Ivy into this version. Kite Man is a huge dork but he's an endearing dork (who is, presumably, great in the sack). I do think something's eventually going to happen to him because he's just too dumb for it not to, but I don't think it's going to be at Ivy's hands.

I hope that the destruction of the LoD headquarters leads to an actual weakening of the group and allows competing super-villain groups to show up with the lesser known characters.

Injustice Guild is too mainstream.

Apparently filming of Doom Patrol Season 2 has already started, as this casting notice says Asian and Hispanic background actors were needed for a Doom Patrol shoot starting 1/28 in Conyers, GA

I care, BB. I care.

I assume Candlemaker is going to be the main villain this season. Could be good, could be bad.

According to the comics it's either you're too poor to go elsewhere or you have Stockholm syndrome and don't want to leave because at least it's not as bad as Blüdhaven?

Today I realized Kite Man has an actual superpower, and it's not kite related.

He's a Chutzpah Elemental.

I don't know what color that is on the DC Nature scale though actually I do, it's the "Kite Man" color

I would say the spoilers were too big; almost right from the start he drops a major spoiler from the season finale. But if you're considering watching it, note that the first ep... is not very good. Which I think the showrunners themselves are aware of, as they said they did it that way just to firmly establish that kids shouldn't be watching the show.

It wasn't as bad as people think, it that's my hot take anyway.

loving THE POOR was a pretty good punchline tbh, especially coming from a disguised Joker since he wasn't being disapproving

E: also I love how the show makes it clear Harley is playing up her accent specifically for Joker since the only time she drops back into it is while talking to her mom.

Slow start but still funny. After Clayface's obvious presence and Penguin being oblivious, I laughed myself stupid at the increasingly absurd placements of the crew that no one questioned, most of all at Psycho sitting on King Shark's shoulders.

I also really enjoy the depiction of their friendship, but I can understand the people who want them to have a romantic relationship.
I don't think they're mutually exclusive and can't really see an argument against it, even if I'm personally indifferent to the idea.

The ivy/Harley romance was based off one episode of BTAS where the characters and actors played phenomenally off each other against Harley's abusive boyfriend and it just kind of got sapphic from there I guess!

Also the "It doesn't work on me :smug:" scene was incredible

Harley was created by Paul Dini :colbert: He based her off of his long time friend Arleen Sorkin (who provided the original voice of the character in the animated series) who had previously appeared in a jesters costume in a dream sequence on the soap opera Days of Our Lives.

And know you know some pointless trivia!

Somehow this is the only possible confluence of events to make Harley possible and it still happened :allears:

I mean it'd kind of have to be. Syfy goes for it with minor curse words but dropping F-bombs eight times a show (but no more) is probably a no go.
