The Boys

[Hank Kingsley]

It isn't something I'd have watched on my own. That is my wife's doing. But I tapped out when it got completely ridiculous.

We have 5 TVs. No forced viewing at Chez Hankela.

Talentless and gap toothed. But “she gets naked” isn’t good enough. True Blood had zero appeal to me. Tits doesn’t make a weak plot good.

I can’t argue against that. I agree 99%.

But Paquin was a cutie. She went momma-looks FAST, though, unfortunately.

So, episode 3?

Made it to season 2

Stuff worth watching. I don’t make her watch football either. Mind you she always hated true blood so I never had that thrown at me.

This season is really shaping up nicely now.

Pumped for the last 3

I guess it's a fair point to say the discussion should be The Boys centric and any spoilers for another show should be in the right place.

We ended up on the other topics because the discussion was on departure from source material, which is a fair discussion to have on the show this season.

I laughed long and hard at this line from Billy Butcher, “I’d call you a c*u*n*t but you have neither the warmth nor the depth”

Saul: "Squat patty...."
Homelander: "Squat patty?"
Saul: "C'mon you know what squat patty is...."
Homelander: "No, no I don't know what squat patty is...."
Saul: "You're the leader of the seven? The German Dutch oven? Tootin' Pattycake? Diarrhea Devil Cake... SERIOUSLY? Crotch Cheese Cake... Homelander!?"
Homelander: "What!? What is squat patty?"
Saul: "....... it's when a man sits in cake... he sits in a cake... and then wiggles...."

Was that reveal supposed to be a surprise to the viewer? I thought that was a given…

Yeah, that was the most obvious "twist" ever.

Still, the last 3 eps have been very strong building towards the finale which I hear is excellent towards setting up final season.

fun fact for you and @The Q

president Robert Singer is played by Jim Beaver... who was also in the show Supernatural, where he played Bobby Singer...

coincidence?? I don't think so...

Soldier boy is not the only link to supernatural...

Do you know why his character in Supernatural was named “Bobby Singer”?

Hint: It was actually referenced in the show.

always thought the show director was named bobby singer... remember the name on the credits... but don't remember his relationship to the show...

and it was referenced in that stupid episode when they were real life actors...

Yup. The “real” Bobby Fisher was one of the perma-crew, I don’t think it was a director. But yes, he appeared in the “Last Action Hero” episode.

do you think the president will call anyone idjits...

 

[MilkSpiller22]

this season seems like its meant to be the bridge for the final season(assuming they still plan on 5 seasons)...

not much is happening, just laying the politics very strong...

so i am betting this is the season that "the boys" lose the fight... which means Homelander gets even more power and Neuman becomes president

the only consolation prize i think that will be given is that Firecracker will lose... but i kind of suspect a redemption arc for her... not sure why...

Firecracker is the Sean Hannity of the show. No way are they going to redeem her. They will revenge-pron the fuck out of her.
