    I did not know that Giancarlo Esposito had a role in Trading Places. That guy has been in a ton of great movies. I really like the role he's developing with Edgar (and I really liked him in the Maze Runner movies).

    We still don't know who popped Raynor. The show suspects it was Stormfront, but she hasn't shown that power. It could be Edgar.

    It looks like the top Supes are pretty durable. So far, we know Homelander, Stormfront, Starlight, Maeve, Black Noir, Kimiko, Cindy, Translucent are bulletproof.

    Episode 6 is definitely the best of the season so far.

    I want to know what role Cindy is going to play going forward. I thought she was killed by Stormfront with that wicked lightning punch...but the fact she survived it and is ominously hitchhiking down the road makes me think that the writers have much bigger plans for her. Not sure of the limit of her powers...but I think I'd fear her as much as I'd fear Homelander's laser vision.

    She's got some very Akira like powers, I'd be much more worried about her than the others.....

    Actually her whole sequence kind of reminded me of this from that movie...

    I thought they basically said on the show that the skinhead supe that was in the mental institution was the one that did it? She certainly blew some other people up in a similar way.

    I must've missed that and didn't connect those dots. That makes sense.

    Did not want this episode to end! Storyline is getting too good.

    Pretty ballsy of the show to drop an Omar from HBO’s The Wire quote out from a character mid episode like that. Amazing episode. This season is right up there with season 1, if not better.

    Never thought I'd see Homebanger call someone a snowflake cuck.

    Anyone know where I can download "Queen Maeve pleasure slave" like Hughie said?

    Asking for a friend, of course. :D

    Some gripes with the latest episode.

    1. Why did Vogelbaum even let Butcher in? Mallory (with MM) I get, but there's no reason to let Butcher in.

    2. What's to stop Homelander/Stormfront from killing Butcher's wife, now that they've 'converted' the son? She was kept alive mainly to nurture Ryan, right? Now that Ryan has 'seen the ways,' makes me think Becca is expendable.

    3. I wonder what Cindy's endgame is, as I suspect she's the one that exploded heads at the end of the episode.

    4. Kimiko and Frenchie were kinda wasted on this episode. Nice character development, but the sign for gun is apparently...to make a gun shape with your hand. They could have done something like Kimiko teaching Frenchie 'family' or 'cook' or 'mother' or something deeper. Just kinda weird that they went with gun lol.

    5. Lamplighter was an interesting character. Shame he self-immolated.

    Can't wait to watch the final episode.

    The way they're hitting current situations with satire has been spot on yet depressing for me.

    I wonder how a right winger is taking this... Too in your face? Or moar Homelander brinin in the Ws

    I don't think Cindy is blowing up heads
    I think we had a head explode before she was introduced

    The implication is she blew Raynor's head since she's the only supe we've seen with that power. But she doesn't have much motivation so maybe it wasn't her and there's a twist. I'm still putting money on Stan Edgar. He's hiding something.
