Maeve has regained her heroic instincts, including for heroic timing. She was hiding behind trees. Both times. Waiting.

I don't really care how Maeve got there or whatever, that's just part of the trope. But it feels really trite to pull the exact same trick twice within about five minutes. Like now any time a villain is monologuing I'm going to be waiting for Maeve to pop up and sucker punch them. e: though obviously she would be driving around in a Vought-edition Subaru Forester

I can't believe I have to explain this but this season clearly established that one of Maehve's powers is gaydar. She was actually zeroing in on MM in the first scene because he got strangled by the prehensile dick and Homelander in the second scene because he was banging Doppleganger. Are you guys even watching the show?

Like sometimes an unrealistic thing like an unlikely ally turning up in the nick of time can just happen because this isn't a documentary and doesn't need to be logic'd to death

The "poke the poo poo with a stick" part of me wonders what he-who-shall-not-be-named would say about Stormfront now. I wonder how far the goalposts would be moved to make it ok for him to like the literal nazi. The thread would be unrecoverable garbage. Better to keep him out.

Alchenar posted:Yeah she's following SF, also the context is from the conversation earlier in the episode she knows that the Nazi relevations must mean its Starlight making a play. Megillah Gorilla posted:Maybe she knew of Homelander's gently caress cabin or threatened a tech, which seems to a popular pastime at Vought. It kind of makes me think that Doppelganger was stationed in the Village of the Damned there as a rando that could shape-shift into the local postman or teacher if poo poo ever went down...

FilthyImp posted:I think it also jostled her from her depressive complacency. It's one thing to be like "this is all bullshit PR who cares" and it's another for a loving Nazi Bride to be sitting next to you. And considering that as a queen person, Maeve probably would be an undesireable... This is actually a good point: Maeve is probably not to big on what the Nazi take on LGBTQ people.

I haven't participated in this thread because I was avoiding spoilers, but I really loved this season. I never expected it to end up being such a clever allegory about the corrupting influence of nationalism on government, but it was all so well executed. I was also clinched with anxiety throughout the entire episode 8! The Girls Getting It DONE was loving bad rear end and I loved every bit of it. Since this show has already been renewed, I really can't wait to see what they do with everything. Especially Ryan, since he'll more than likely come under the influence of Neumann and her newfound political weight. I also didn't have an issue with Maeve saving the day twice so quickly. I thought it was fairly obvious she probably followed Stormfront from the tower. And she's a supe, and tailing after two regular people who probably really didn't get very far at all in the time they were beating the poo poo out of Stormfront didn't seem implausible. But whatever, it didn't bother me. One of the bigger hanging threads out there is Soldier Boy. They mentioned him and dropped references to him quite a bit this season, to the point that I assumed he would show up. Especially once it was revealed one WW2 veteran (SF) had already re-emerged. That makes me wonder if we won't see him next season in some capacity. Then of course there is Cindy roaming around, or any other supe test subjects that might have survived. Which could just be another allegory for domestic terrorism next season, and how the biggest threats are the ones we made ourselves (see: this week's busted plot against the Michigan governor). Either way, hell of a season, but most of all I can't wait to see where Neumann really comes from. Is she a Vaught product Edgar is manipulating from another angle within politics to infiltrate the government? Or did someone else synthesize some V that we don't know about (which seems unlikely)?

Given her age, it seems highly unlikely she's another entity's agent (or I guess she could've been dosed as an adult, but I doubt that) Either she's Vaught, or she's some other Supe's baby.

I could very much see them doing a bit of a time jump, setting up a plot device of Vicky as a reason for the Boys to reunite sometime down the road as Hugie slowly clues in to her, or some such...

There has to be pretty high odds that of the supes who procreated, at least one other one had to have given way to a natural born supe. And something I just thought of, at the very end when Alastair is telling A-Train and The Deep about the one opening in The Seven, shouldn't there be two openings? Or did Black Noir survive his allergic reaction?

"One is redemption, two is weakness.", paraphrasing Mr Edgar and Alastair. Yes Black Noir survived but he's still in the hospital. iirc he's in a coma or vegetative state.

Noir is still alive but there’s actually 3 spots anyway. Homelander, Maeve, Noir and Starlight.

Thank you all for clarifying! There was a moment my wife just had to tell me about something she saw on Twitter and I was wondering if I missed something. I totally missed that Homelander called that out. Good to know.
