“Though the Heaven’s Fall”

The new episode of The Boys continued the march to the show’s finale with major moments. I have to say, there were some moments that also felt really dumb and out of place.

The bad:

• The talking fish that dies with Deep. Too much of a cartoon for this tone.
• The bleeding out of his ass in the background was iffy.
• Not sure how I felt about the swinging ball sack…

The Great:

• Paul Reiser. He is fabulous. His scene with Homelander was sensational.
• Sister Sage’s arrogance right up to the point where Soldier Boy gave the V1 to Homelander. Sister Sage trying to help the Boys was a shock.
• Homelander got the V1 and injected it in his veins.
• The showdown with Hughie and Starlight against Oh Father. Hughie should play poker with his bluffing skills.
• The Deep murdering the new Black Noir after Noir confessed that he broke the pipeline killing a bunch of the fish.

The theme of living forever is throughout this episode. Golden Geisha brought it up and we find out that Kimiko and Annie had discussed the problems brought about by immortality.

I think Mother’s Milk is starting to regain his mental capabilities after some real anger issues.

Soldier Boy and Bombsight fight was rough, but, in the end, it was words that stopped the violence and led to Soldier Boy handing the V1 to Homelander. By the way, the dialogue they give Soldier Boy is so funny and Jensen Ackles delivers the words so perfectly.

Two mor episodes to go and a potentially immortal Homelander may have made the virus irrelevant.
