Don’t Mr. Phillips (Tom Mison) and Mrs. Crookshanks (Sara Vickers) share a striking resemblance? I wonder if this is a da Vinci thing where he’s been forced to imagine his masculine and feminine self...

It’s certainly a theory. But the show (and comic) love that type of mirroring, so I don’t think it’s a slamdunk.
Lots of reviewers have said that making Hooded Justice black was a change from the comics...even though it really isn’t because everything that we knew about HJ was speculation.
I wondered about diplomatic immunity too, but it might not be cops. After the events of the episode there are presumably a lot of people who are very pissed off at Whiterose, and she’s just lost a lot of the leverage that she might have had.
One thing about the time travel is that Angela thought it would bring both their parents back.
This season had been a bit meandering, so I wasn’t expecting that this would be the episode where we finally got to the fireworks factory.
We still don’t know what Veidt’s goal was with that, or who all is in on the joke.
And you really don’t want the president of the US to honestly believe that spacesquids are an existential threat.
I won’t say that the video makes sense.
I’m fully on board with thinking that Veidt’s plan from the comics makes no sense, and would work for maybe 6 months. There would need to be followup steps...and I guess that recording a self-incriminating message for a future president makes as much sense as anything?
I guess that I (being naive) thought he was supposed to represent a hangman, but I don’t know that hangmen ever dressed like that? (and a noose around your own neck ain’t a great plan)
The circus strongman secret identity from the comics always felt circumstantial, and it’s interesting that the Minuteman show we’re seeing choose to go a different direction (or at least that the guy the police unmasked didn’t look like a bearded, german circus performer)
So the key to his room was the same one from his pre-steel mountain detox dream waaaaaay back in season 1. (he pulled it from a meal-sized qwerty, and dream-Angela took that as a engagement proposal)
Forget about Jack. What about Opal City?
Ah, yes. That’s it.
The guillotine bomb makes no sense at all. It’s there to be superdramatic, but it’s just bad writing. That whole side of the mystery is a bunch of non-sequiturs strung together with a “It’s because he’s crazy!” as the big reveal.
(which sadly doesn’t give me a lot of hope for a Party Down reboot)
The first time through I thought it was maybe okay. But then I rewatched it, and so much just isn’t good.
Lizzy Caplan’s character gets killed by a car bomb because the big villain was basically John Doe from Se7en the whole time even though it doesn’t make any sense.
