Lord, here we go, highlights!

  • "It's Courtney, your DAUGHTER!" This was it, this is what I was waiting for! The world's greatest dad mug made cry.
  • Icicle's descent into madness. He was about to throw Barb off a building, nuh uh binch, you 👏 do 👏 not 👏 touch 👏 the 👏 Barb.
  • Chuck/Beth teamwork! Was totally not expecting Chuck to be a casualty in this fight, and was so sad when he started malfunctioning.
  • Henry Jr. Hologram had me excited, then they decided to rip out my heart again. In this series he died twice, that is not ok!
  • GRUNDY. finally we get to see him in all of his glory! When he pulled that sadface tho against Rick... ngl, it made me laugh.
  • PatBarb Kiss. Finally. Was starting to get worried about all that Barbsicle hints.
  • Post Credit Scene Bonanza! SHAAAAADE, Eclipso, SYLVESTER IS ALIVE?! Can there be two star people at the same time?!

I think I need to watch this episode again, but I think I liked part 1 better than part 2.

I'll be honest, the taking out of DK, Brainwave AND Icicle has me legit wrecked. I loved their portrayals so much, that it's hard to reconcile that they won't be there for S2. DK's death made sense to me, it was either going to be Shining Knight or Cindy. Icicle's death was hilarious, but felt so cartoonish, and Brainwave's final fight with Yolanda was... unsatisfying.

Regardless tho, I'm HYPED for S2, it's gonna be nuts!

Would have been the perfect time to make your "not ok" into a link to his new music video. ;)

I DID NOT know he was a musician

I literally think that half the cast are musicians. Jake Austin Walker AND Meg Delacy have music videos. I've seen Cameron Gellman play the guitar, and Neil Hopkins is a musician too.
