The Boys

[cwoy2j]

It seems like the show needs someone to keep a "show bible" or something like that in order to keep the hierarchy of supes straight. I feel like they were pretty inconsistent with portraying how powerful Annie and Deep were. One of Annie's strengths is that she can actually fight (they made it a point to say she knew martial arts in Season 1) and one of Deep's weaknesses is that he just relies on his strength and has next to no actual fighting skills. Annie was also strong and skilled enough to kick the shit out of and choke out The Shifter who disabled Kimiko. Yet Deep was wiping the floor with her until A-Train showed up. I could see if the fight was underwater where Deep is stronger but they were in The Boys' office. Also, Deep dodged one of A-Train's punches which definitely shouldn't happen. We saw A-Train react and dodge Annie's light blasts so he should've been able to tag Deep with punches at will.

I get the criticism that the season was pretty much a cock tease for next season, but that's the way it goes when everyone's trying to rush these things back onto the screen as fast as they can. Viewership was up over the past season and that only leads to more searches for "when will season 5 of The Boys be released?" I enjoyed the season for the most part. So many things happened and yet people were griping because they didn't get closer to topping off Homelander.

It has been announced that for the final season, both Jared Padalecki and Misha Barton will be joining the cast of The Boys. Not to mention that Jensen Ackles and Jim Beaver are already in the cast.

So anyone who really loved Supernatural but hasn't watched The Boys yet, they've got some catching up to do.

I had a feeling Padalecki was going to be involved for the final season and Ackles had hinted at it a year or two ago.

Anthony Starr has apparently wrapped his work on this season of the show.  

He's posted a long farewell to the character on his social media.

Did he mention Cody Rhodes missing the entire point of the character?

Gen V is pretty great.  5 eps in.  This Hamish Linklater guy is quite the revelation.  Maybe I should go finish Midnight Mass.

[Craig H]

Gen V rules. I was late to the game with it in season 1, but when I came back to it it turned out to be very excellent. S2 is just as good and is doing a good job of again being a .5 season of the Boys to fill in some gaps and blanks so the upcoming season makes more sense.

My only fear is we'll get some stupid final season of GoT bullshit where Marie killing Homelander becomes the new Arya killing the Night King.

New episode of Gen V reaction:

 HOLY FUCKING SHIIIIT!!!!

[Marcel]

Gen V Season Finale is out and, as expected, will lead directly into Season V of The Boys.

Tilda Swinton as the voice of the octopus is the greatest casting in history. That is all.
