The Boys S4 E5

Spoilers

“Beware the Jabberwock, My Son”

I never thought a chicken flying through someone’s chest would be as scary as it was.

And monstrous, flying sheep tearing people apart?

Sheep that are able to tear apart a Compound V-riddled bull?

Okay. The Boys ending with “Old MacDonald” over the closing credits.

This show is something else.

Stuck in with the crazy killer animals hopped up on V, you had a beautiful send off with Hughie’s dad (after he butchered a bunch of innocents, of course), the return of Giancarlo Esposito, Butcher being Butcher (which means horrendous betrayal and lies, I guess), and Frenchie’s guilt driving him to a new level.

The Boys is crazy.

Oh, and I forgot about Homelander and his new way of manipulating Ryan. One way that really seems to be working. Again, Antony Starr deserves an Emmy nomination (if not win) for his performance. This year has seen even a deeper psychological depth to Homelander than we have seen previously. He continues to be one of the most frightening things on this show.

Has Butcher finally taken it too far? His obsession has turned him into a MFer with a heart of gold to a monster. He would be happy to see Starlight and Kimiko fall to this virus as well as any other supe.

I am afraid for A-Train. His redemption arc this year has been awesome, but does he stand a chance?

I also loved the shade tossed at the MCU with the Vaught movie announcements. That was funny.
