But as we soon see: Leti lives! Plot armor rules.

I’m so relieved Ji-ah lived. Everything else in the finale went pretty much as expected (although I hated Diana becoming a killer in such a young age but I’m all for the adventures of a Cyborg Girl and Black Shoggoth). But Ji-ah dying was my biggest fear about the finale. I was afraid of them using a trope that

I was positively surprised by how nice the show was. And how Ted was leading usually be defusing conflict and finding ways for people to realise themselves and work together. This kind of thing is usually coded as female type of leadership so that was refreshing. I also like how the season let Rebecca remember how to

So far I thought of magic in the show as representation privilege. Something that those who have it think to be their right and part natural order of things making them better than the rest. But Hippolyta comes back and shows us magic really is knowledge. And like any knowledge it can be hoarded and used to gain upper

I suspect there are some who know this is not one of Stormfront’s powers. I mean The Boys and friends should know since she didn’t explode any of their heads. But I suppose they are leaving that myster to Mallory’s new team. They can’t do everything.

Yes, it was obvious the moment Montrose mentioned it but it still was nice counterpoint to their relationship so far. And I liked how they seeded it through the season starting with the very first scene.

YES! Hippolyta came back! It only took her 200 years but she found a way back to Diana. It was almost too late but it was just in time. It felt so good to see her walk in and take over. They clearly could rely on Christina.

As I keep saying there are 3 types of time travel. One that fiction loves the most where you go to the past and change your present - the BttF type that is full of paradoxes and inconsistencies but is cool for fiction. One that takes you to alternate universe that changes with you actions while your present stays

1. Yes, sure - everyone all over internet picking up on her looks, speeches, politics and her dancing videos were just completely off base and the creators clearly didn’t mean to suggest that. But of course she isn’t AOC she’s Victoria Neuman. She’s just someone sharing a lot of her characteristics and people picking

Still, if she was to be a commentary on a DNC insider kind of democratic politician this wouldn’t really be how to do it. They should’ve made one whose ineffective with tendency to try to talk it out with people who have no interest in talking it out. And appeasing them by giving them what they want in hope of getting

I’m not arguing anything about politicians in general. There is plenty of examples of hypocrisy and corruption everywhere. However, the both sides argument really doesn’t hold in something that is a exaggeration of current American political events. And just saying but comic books doesn’t hold when they change so many

Yes, it seems like the plan was to have her push for it so she can be the one who runs it. This way Vought has oversight over the Oversight Committee.

In the show it makes perfect sense for Vought to try to control all the sides. Wind up the emotions to splinter the public. Divide and rule as Romans said. Making sure at the same time they keep control of government attempts to control them - from the commission disaster to Neuman heading the sup control force.

Last week I was surprised that Ryan turned so quickly on Becca and accused her of being a liar, and people pointed out in the comments that, well, kids can be jerks

The whole - both sides are bad - take also annoyed me. This is such a bullshit to use especially when one side is actually actively preaching hurting people. And it was clearly there for shock value. But this is what we got and now we have to live with it.

True but I think it also underlines her new status as an orphan. She no longer has her adults. Her closest family - uncle Montrose and cousin Tic - have their own family problems. She fells into cracks because she’s no longer anyone’s priority.

Yes, it was a little weird how they went from frantic to ignoring her. I wonder if that was also part of the spell.

The whole thing with deciphering Book of Adam makes so little sense (even if there is the same number of letters as in English how do they know what sounds letters make and how that lets Atticus translate it, etc, etc) that Montrose reading it perfectly is just a blip.

Yes, we are due more specific condemnation of white women feminism. There were little bits of showing white women complicity in the system but so far the horror has been concentrated on white men and especially police.

I should’ve said white people but I had Lancaster on my mind and English has this annoying thing where men can be used to mean human in general not only male.
