These episodes just keep reeling us in and then punching us right in the feels!
In the Underground, the personalities are mourning the loss of Baby Doll in the destroyed train station ā they blame Jane for the incident
A spaceship arrives at Doom Manor ā in 1955 Niles was given funding for a group of scientists to research time control in outer space; Niles lost contact with them in the 1960s and figured they were dead. Theyāre called āThe Pioneers of the Unchartedā.
As Larry is talking to the astronauts ā Dorothy steals their spaceship and flies into space; it turns out Niles has his own spaceship that he plans on taking to go find Dorothy. Niles asks for Cliffās help in going after Dorothy ā he gets frustrated that she believes she can go running around on her own; Cliff realizes how Dorothy could have gotten frustrated living under Niles.
It turns out Niles created the Doom Patrol partially to give Dorothy a family before he died; he reveals he only imprisoned her to keep her and the world safe from Candlemaker.

ā¦WHAT?!..heā¦butā¦whyā¦ugh. Iām sure thereās a very good reason for that. Just have to wait till next week to find out. I donāt understand how gross over usage of the F word can become an endearing quality but it has. Cliff is the (robot) man. I could drone on about all the other things from this episode but in a nutshell, It is simply the best show out there. Period. All other programming has lost itās shine compared to this. LOVE THIS SHOW!

Love how random characters keep showing up around the team. Itās especially nice when it expands on Niles past or the projects heās worked on to achieve immortality.
At face-value while fun/ridiculous as the astronauts were itās great there was depth to their situation in relation to Larry.
Really surprised Larry is gonna give it another go with his family.
Rita watching a play about the town from Season 1 reminded me of the episode in Avatar: The Last Airbender when the team watched a play re-telling the previous seasons lol
The scene with Miranda coming out the well + explanation felt abrupt imo but I do look forward to what kind of conflict her involvement will now cause since something feels off.
Cliff would be a better dad to Dorothy than Niles. Yeah I said it.

This episode seemed to me to be a set up for the rest of the season. That being said it will be interesting to see Miranda as the primary and to see how she differs from Jane. Still canāt believe that Niles jettisoned Cliff out of the spaceship and invented space travel. I hope we get to see the finished version of Ritaās play or at least some of it. Looking forward to seeing next weeks episode.

Oh-My-lanta! What theā¦ This episode was great, of course, but holy guacamole, why did the Chief do that to Cliff?!?! And after Cliff was so sweet to Dorothy & was all-in on being a part of her family & taking care of her forever. Just when you start to feel a twinge of empathy for Niles, believing there must be some kind of greater good heās trying his best to fulfill (even though he makes a lot of bad decisions) & 
he goes & does some kind of messed up junk like that! What is his damage?!?! Wow!
In Crazy Jane World: Miranda has emerged! Iām getting a not-cool-at-all vibe on this one. And what exactly is in that freaking well? Is Kayās disgusting dad in there or something? It seems bad, whatever it is.
Poor, dear Ritaā¦ much more transparent than she thought. I find it hilarious that she didnāt even get the part of playing (what ended up being) herself. Then to listen as someone describes her to a teeā¦ so funny!
Larryā¦ Larry, Larry, Larry, Larryā¦ yeahā¦ whatever, dude. I donāt recommend a re-try on the father/son/grandson/great-grandson bonding session. Usually, if your grandson gets shot in the gut on your first visit, visit number 2 is an understood no-go. Just saying.
Cyborg: In his efforts to save his Lady Love from the atrocities she suffered that are steadily killing her, he finds Daddy Silas at the root of it all. Why would he allow his research to be perverted in such a way? What could possibly be a good enough reason? 
Hey! Must be the money!
All that, āwhat I did then made you possibleā stuff seems like a pretty weak excuse to me. Silas will do that, but he wonāt help Cliff??? What a jerk!
I watched the teaser for next weekās episode. Canāt wait! Still want more Steel & Stoneā¦ in space???

Every week I hurry to watch Doom Patrol at my earliest opportunity. Every week, as the end credits start to roll, I have the same reaction:
What did I just watch?
This weekās episode had a lump in my throat for most of the runtime. My eyes may have been moist when Cliff asked, āWhy is everyone so mad all the time.ā (The quote may not be precise).
But that end? Niles! What have you done?

Niles Is A TERRIBLE Man!!!
You Guilt Cliff Into Rescuing Your Daughter Then You Toss Him? Wtf!!!
Miranda Is Here & She Gives Me Creepy Vibes With Evil Intentions. Iām Curious To See How This Plays Out.
I Was Really Hoping We Would Get To See The Negative Spirits Interact Outside The Bodies. Iām Glad Larry Met Someone Who Could Understand His Struggle.

Okay, justā¦ What?! Congrats Chief Niles Caulder, you are officially the WORST ever. And who the heck made Cliff the voice of reason and calmness in the maelstrom of WTFs thatās Doom Patrol? This episode justā¦ Overall this series makes me question further my sanity but this oneā¦ What the hell?!?

I am not up on the comics so I am just going out on a limb but if no one (almost said nobody but that is someone AKA Mr. Morden) comes back from the well what if Miranda is āhe in the wellā possessing her ābodyā.

Both Silas and Niles have evil tendencies, although to different degrees. And heyā¦NEGATIVE WOMAN!!! I hope we see more of her in the future. Larry needs to open up to someone who knows what heās going through. And yeah, itās probably best for Larry to give up on the idea of a family reunion (holidays would be so awkward!). On the plus side, we see from the next week preview that Cliff is going to be okay. As for Rita, I loved what was happening with her story, but as usual, they didnāt spend enough time with her character. Maybe on the next episode, weāll see more of her journey.
And get ready, kiddies for next weekā¦The Beard is back!!!

I love this show. I just had a terrible, horrible day and was cussing l like Cliff on the inside like he was in my underground - if I had one. This show always helps me feel better.
I donāt know what Nilesā game is. Iām assuming heās going to try to keep Dorothy in space for awhile and didnāt want Cliff to interfere. Iām not sure I trust Miranda, either and I wonder if Larry will really get any joy at all in trying to reconcile with his family. All I can say is that I canāt for next week.
By the way anybody know if Roni , Vicās girl, was in the comics? She sounds like someone that should have been.

Also I would just like to add that the rocketships that Niles designed are awesome. See what an aluminum shed, some ingenuity and a little elbow grease can get you?

Wow, that was an intense episode. I expected the fall out from last weekās episode to be rough. But I didnāt expect Dorthy to run away to space. Iām not sure what Niles is planning but the moment he asked Cliff to put away her helmet I saw it coming. Donāt go alone into an airlock when Niles is at the controls, people.
At first, I thought Larry was going back to Rita/Cliff/Jane and Co. and was calling them his family. But I guess not. I liked him seeing someone else with a negative spirit and just deciding he wasnāt going to be like them.
I really hope Jane makes it out of all this okay. The Miranda curve ball feels really out of place. Especially, after talking with Hammerhead about personalities they havenāt seen before. What if this is someone else pretending to be Miranda, who just became the Primary? The rest of the team is going to be pretty confused.
I do like the idea of Niles being the ābig badā this season. And it does seem to be trending that way. There is no way he let Babydoll and Dorthy play together without thinking something bad was going to happen.
I hope him being the baddie brings Mr.Nobody into the fold again, though. He was right. Niles is a terrible person. Heāll want to make sure everyone knows he was right.

Nothing could be as surprising a cliffhanger as last weekās Dorothy/Baby Doll fiasco. Itās nice this week to see a relatively calm, heart-warming epiā holy cow, Niles just did that!!
Glad to see Iām not the only one who doesnāt trust Miranda. Jane better start knowing some stuff real quick.
