So you’re saying this conversation is like pretzels

I always thought it was just a Michael Rappaport impression.

I interpreted his Pasketti Arms appelation as being intentional because she was such a small kid and it’s the type of label a bully might give.  Now I am thinking, maybe Peacemaker does say it that way.

I think the only thing it did was confirm the Mockingbird identity. I’m pretty sure the only thing they ever said about it was that it would put someone at risk. 

I want to write something funny and cute about the show but all I have is that I fucking cried when Peacemaker played Home Sweet Home. Holy shit as a 48 POC I grew up loving Motley Crew and I’ve always felt like Home Sweet Home is one of the two songs I would hear as I pass on from this world. So well done.

Gunn knows how to create tension. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time Vig and Peace were making their escape from the trailer.

What’s particularly nice about the piano scene is that Cena actually plays piano so they didn’t have to do those weird cuts between the actors face and someone else’s hands. Cena playing The Pixies Where is My Mind for the Bella Twins on YouTube five years ago mostly went under the radar. 

The diary was a bunch New World Order conspiracy mongering from the pages shown. You can read them clearly and it’s all racist and fascist nonsense against Jews, liberals, Democrats, Black people, non-Christians, etc. There’s no mention of aliens.

This episode was too short!

If you pause you can clearly read the diary pages and there’s nothing about aliens. It’s all super racist and fascist New World Order conspiracy nonsense. There’s nothing about aliens, so Locke is seemingly lying. Waller planted a diary that would make sense, given Peacemaker’s background, in case she needed to…

She absolutely had all the stuff about aliens in there. It was so she could throw him under the bus for killing a bunch of people (who actually were aliens) after the op was over.

the piano scene shows that there is a genuine actor in John Cena.

Corrections: the one in Goff is the emperor (not the one in Goff’s wife, it just happens to be a female butterfly) and ik-stak-ik-ik or whatever is Goff’s real name, not Murn’s real name.

I don’t put anything past the comics industry generally, but, given how high-profile this particular property is, I’m not sure WB/DC would let Gunn make Waller a Butterfly. The fact that she’s “just a human” is important to her character and role, similar to how it is for Batman and Lex Luthor.

I’m feeling pleased with myself that the reason I first thought Murn was taken over (and before the reveal on the show too) was exactly the one that tipped off Harcourt.

I had that thought about Adebayo’s wife as well. She’s way too understanding about the situation they’re in now. She really does feel like a plant (in the espionage sense) at this point.

I was disappointed that none of the butterflies chose an alternate portal of entry. It would have been sweet vindication for John and his kickin’ PowerPoint.

Great stuff as usual, that whole sequence of the butterflies taking over the police station was beautiful.

This show inexplicably just gets better and better, and I say this as someone who wasn’t all that amused by Gunn’s The Suicide Squad (with the concession that it is tons superior to the first Suicide Squad movie). I was genuinely bummed out about Det. Song’s Butterfly assimilation - I had her pegged as the smart cop…

Pretty sure Goff’s butterfly is the leader, not his wife’s. Accordingly, she is able to summon reinforcements in the person of Detective Song.
