It’s been six weeks and surely they have savings, assuming Pat didn’t spend them all rebuilding S.T.R.I.P.E. Still, it’ll be interesting to see what Barb does in terms of a job next season.

“They” is pretty much everybody. Something happens and you try to figure out an explanation. Occam’s Razor leads you away from batcrap stuff like supervillains and toward more mundane phenomena like earthquakes. Next thing you know, the explanation gets codified and accepted.

Yes, good writing and compelling characters trump flashy FX.

Who’s to say Grundy left to himself is a marauding, murderous hulk? He refused to fight Rick and not only because he was losing. It’s entirely he was under Brainwave’s or Dr. Ito’s control before.

Agreed. It doesn’t mean she wasn’t affected by his death but she recognized that it was necessary. If she had let him go he would’ve killed her and her friends.

I don’t remember Chuck existing on a server, I originally thought he was in the goggles but the whole bit with Beth losing contact with him makes sense that way.

Yeah, except for Sportsmaster and Huntress the ISA members don’t seem to work together.

My usual random thoughts:

I predict some kind of “feedback” from the machine that erases the adults’ memories but doesn’t turn anyone’s brain to mush. In other words, a reset.

I predict some kind of “feedback” effect that causes the machine to wipe the adults’ memories but doesn’t turn anyone’s brain to mush.

Cindy is definitely going to have a major role going forward but first she needs to escape. Given that her dad has managed to keep Solomon Grundy locked up that might be a bit of a feat.

Living in “flyover country,” I agree. Plus, more to the point, if you want to brainwash the whole country, why not do it from roughly in the center?

Mike is definitely going to save the day.

My usual random thoughts:

What I don’t get about the staff is that Courtney can look right at it up close but Pat and Barb, who are standing farther away, have to shield their eyes.

Who would that be? The new Hourman is a girl and she’s no relation to the original.

Honestly, I don’t expect to see Solomon any time soon. I hope for your sake i’m wrong.

Yes, that’s how I interpreted it. “You can say whatever you want about my stepdaughter but don’t badmouth my wife.” Seriously, i think it was a “last straw” moment.

Agreed they need to tell Mike, especially if Brainwave is coming after him.

We don’t know the timeline for sure. The ISA could have fought the Seven Soldiers at some point.
