Frenchie was the only one of the Boys that became more human.

This season has really dragged on. I honestly don't care anything more about this show. I'm glad it's ending, and there's only one more episode to sit through.

Yeah this season has been a waste of time. Soldier Boy has been an inconsistent character. SB is both the best and worst thing about S5.

The showrunner confirmed Queen Maeve is appearing this season.

Guess it's the finale.

Terrible season after a pretty solid start. Kripke’s TDS is bad and has helped ruin the show. What a tool that guy is. He’s ruined Homelander.

Homelander has been consistent.

The show really should have ended Season or two ago though.

I still can't get over how badly Starlight botched her face.

Apparently the actor said last episode was his last appearance.

So they completely wasted him and his story was worthless this season.

The whole "it's what Clara would have wanted" shtick was just bad writing. They could have just written that Homelander got the Compound V himself and it would have made much more sense than SB's constant waffling.

This finale is going to be so dumb.

The only hope left was SB would take Homelander's powers. What was the whole point in showing what he was capable of doing and bringing up multiple references to him being able to manage Homelander?

Sigh.

Completely agree. I guess now they are gonna have Kimiko do it instead in revenge of Frenchie. This may be top 5 worse writing of a season in TV history.

Speaking of Kimiko, why the F did the suddenly give her the ability to speak perfect English?

Where the hell did the budget go? This season just sucks

I am finally caught up on this show. I have been enjoying the season but I agree with a lot of everyone's critiques. I assume a lot will have to happen in this last episode. I have no idea how this show will end.

Starlighter's face is so bad. It's distracting. So very sad that girl did that to herself. Once this show is over, I don't see her getting many offers.

Kind of an indictment and a compliment to the writers that they could make the character so entertaining, but also points out how bad they are at making coherent and consistently compelling storylines.

probably

but then the show gets popular and they want to milk it for as long as possible. So now we have one of those final seasons where its really mostly filler in an attempt to limp past the finish line and get to the ending.

You could take the actual meaningful stuff from this season and it likely all fits into one 1.5 hr. extended episode.
