Asking “Is this part of The Boys universe perhaps too unsubtle?” seems like missing the point.

More importantly, why is he walking around happily, like no one made his penis explode? Did it grow back? These are the issues we should be tackling here.

They’re just setting up the McGuffin and secondary villain for the final season of The Boys. There’s now a superweapon that can kill all the supes on Earth (assuming they use it on someone like A-Train, who will spread the infection all over) and Neumann has it.

They could honestly put this plot back on the shelf for…

(did you catch Rufus’ red hat?)

It was a very strange cut between one Cate scene and the next. I’m not sure what to believe at this point. 

So two things - one, why are you hear reading and commenting on a show you don’t watch?

“Why does Emma just brush it off as if we all say things like “Well, he was a muppet…””

This feels a lot like that bizarre review this site did of Jumanji: The Next Level where the writer was inexplicably befuddled about the very concept of sequels, and acted like it was completely unreasonable that the movie expected you to have seen the last one. Who exactly are these legions of people who are…

Supe Lives Matter is pretty clearly the Voughtverse version of Blue Lives Matter as we saw w/ A-Train’s eventual heart donor shouting it at unarmed black people before attacking and hospitalizing a number of them. Not sure what would give pause about that.

If you enjoy The Boys I think you would enjoy this as well.

The crash referenced by this ep wasn’t the one from the pilot, that was a small passenger plane carrying a mayor that blackmailed Stillwell for a discount on hero protection.

That virus? and those other superhuman banes they’ve introduced can't just be ignored. They'll definitely be carried over into next season of the Boys.

“But with “Sick,” we’ve arrived at an episode where you’re likely to be more lost if you never did catch up on that original show.”

Different strokes, I enjoy both.

I half expected Cate, for instance, to be wooed back by Shetty with the admission that the Dean truly does see the young empath as a daughter surrogate.

Did you miss the bit of dialogue where OB states if they reboot the system, it will shut off the thingy that stops magic from working in the TVA? Both Loki and Sylvie shout “DO IT!” when they hear that.

Just a couple of observations:

It would be hilarious if Scorsese started complaining about concert films as the new biggest ill for cinema.

Brave to make a Scorsese will be forgotten joke when I genuinely doubt anyone will remember Sam Barsanti, who is no Nathan Rabin or Emily VanDerWerff.

It’s quite clear what Renslayer’s motives are: to stabilize the TVA with herself back in charge, and presumably with an HWR variant back with her. I think the confusion is largely a result of the show playing coy with what exactly she remembers. She obviously doesn’t remember everything, especially with Miss Minutes…
