#rouge to larry about keeg

Quick summary of my current Doom Patrol Season4A thoughts.

I hate the butts. I can’t stand them. They were funny in season one as a quick joke and in season three as a call back. But this buttpocolypse? Actual garbage plot.

Do they even know how to write Larry/Keeg? Like what are they trying to do at this point? It’s so fucking boring I want to scream

The start to the current Jane arc was rushed and I don’t understand why. No, I didn’t want to see Doctor Harrison as an evil antagonist, but by having it be Kay disguised as her it feels like the writers are trying to be clever. They aren’t.

That said, I like what is going on with Jane this season! It’s interesting to see a character who has known exactly what her purpose is try to find a new one, and great to see Jane actually happy! I Hate How Every Scene For The Last Three Seasons Is Her Emotionally Negative

Rita, after the events of S3, feels like a new character, but not for the better. It’s as if she took Jane’s angst and blanched it. Not fun to watch.

Vic is there

I liked Casey Patrol a lot! It’s a testament to how endearing Dorothy and Danny/The Dannizens are, as well as pointing out a big problem with this season: the show needs Niles Caulder. More on that later.

WHER IS MY WIFEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Youth Patrol, and specifically the emotional reconnection between Rita and Rouge, is really what the show (and the comics, too) is about: a drama about interpersonal relationships, but the characters are goofy looking as all hell. And sometimes they fight bad guys.

That’s all I’ve got for now. Hopefully the next half comes soon and that will be it. See you then.

The fact that the show has been essentially been ignoring that scene back in vacay patrol between Larry and Keeg is killing me. I agree with you, this season feels like our main ensemble only are only getting scenes in between the Madame Rouge saga. Don't get me wrong I like Laura but I feel like the rest are being sidelined for this storyline.

yeah, like, i've said before that i don't think larry's arc feels "slow" right now, but i'm absolutely not surprised other people would feel that way because the fact they have been ignoring stuff like that makes us feel like we're missing out on something. like, if keeg was here, it'd probably be super easy for larry to talk to them about it, but if you don't want him just talking into the air, he needs to have a discussion with another character, and they are constantly either too busy with their own stuff or laura to be a part of that. it makes you feel like the show is just several unconnected storylines happening at the same location. it's not a terrible season or anything--i'm enjoying laura too! but they just don't have any glue holding their characters together

JFK’s Doom Patrol Review of S3E10

I’ll be honest, the middle of this season was a drag to get through. I wasn’t happy with the direction the show was going, I didn’t care about the new characters introduced, and I was ready to stop watching. I am glad to say that this season finale has changed my feelings.

I am a lot happier with everything that happened in this episode compared to every other this season. Instead of more “Sisterhood of discount X-Men”, we got compelling interpersonal drama between characters, like Rita and Rouge, Larry and Keeg. Plus, everyone is getting a good ending! Cliff and Jane are at a good place with each other! Rita is doing something other than being sassy! Madame Rouge is gonna get a redemption arc come S4! the only outliers in this are Vic and Larry.

Vic is a tough character for me to talk about this season. If It’s not obvious by know, I have lived a white experience in America (My genetic make-up is not entirely white but it’s a complicated issue and nun ya business). I have not faced racial discrimination in my life, and I don’t have many people in my life that have (not by choice), so I don’t believe I can give a meaningful statement about the scenes in this season that depict racial discrimination and what that does to a child. I would imagine however that the show tackled the topic well, given the few things I have read on the subject.

Larry in this season has been a rough watch for people who really like his dynamic with The Negative Spirit. I know that some have sworn of the show because of this, citing that it’s just not the same or more personal reasons. It’s not surprising that many would, because a large amount of people seem to really only enjoy Larry and his relationship with The Negative Spirit in this show (or at least an affinity for him that outmatches anyone else). For me personally, I enjoy the direction the writers are taking him and Keeg (Sidenote: I’m making a difference between the alien being inside Larry in S1-2 and the alien being in S3-beyond because I’m not sure they’re the same). I think Larry needs some love in his life that is parent/child based and Keeg is a good way to bring that to him.

This episode is so poetic to S1. When Vic tells Rita “We’re not heroes”, my eyes fell out of my head. I was so amazed when Rita stopped Cliff at the baseball game, not only being able to use her powers, not only being able to use her powers like in the comics, but the two of them saying the exact same lines to each other in the Pilot. Like poetry, they rhyme.

Sometimes i think about how this series will eventually end. What I wanted them to do before i saw this episode, is to finally be rewarded for doing something heroic. When asked who they are, they say, “We’re the Doom Patrol.”, Finally deciding that this is who they want to be. So when Rita started to talk about actually being a Superhero team, I leaned forward into my seat, waited for them to say exactly what i thought they would say, and then Cliff made a Doom Force joke. Funny, but my dreams were halted another day. For the best.

I will have to re watch this season again to make an accurate judgment of it, which probably means I’ll have to re watch the show again. For the 4th-5th time. Idk. Hard to keep track. Ta-Ta for now.
