Stormfront is so over the top subtle and overt evil. Letting her in on Ryan was a mistake on Homelanders part. He’s gotta have a bigger ultimate purpose. Especially given he didn’t exist in this way in comics land. Or not. Now he’s going to get the full Storm Front propaganda brainwash to raise the real Nazi-style Homelander.


What’s crazy is, Homelander was right about how Becca’s raising Ryan. Completely sheltering him is not the way. Wonder what the fallout is going to be if or when Stormfront/Homelander introduce him to the world.

The Boys have to finally juice on V now right? That’s gotta be where we are heading for season 4 based on Butchers look of failing by the book again.


If they go that route, I doubt it takes that long. They already know Compound V can and has worked on adults and Billy had that look of desperation at the end.

My top 4 things I wanna know are:

1. What’s going on with the CotC?
2. Who’s popping everybody’s dome?
3. What’s the story with Edgar? Is he the failsafe? Does he have an Ace up his sleeve?
4. What’s going on with The Seven?

Might be the chick at the facility where they where they had different supes locked up and testing their powers. The one that got out and Lamplighter looked terrified. Didn't catch her name, but she just started exploding people. Could be her.

But then again, head popping started before that a few episodes earlier before she got out when Hughie and co met up with the government chick and her head exploded.


I think it’s someone else.

Targeting Shockwave is literally the only way to get ATrain back in and Alastair was positive he got both Deep and Train back in. Only way that happens is if Shockwave is gone.

Also. Weren’t Church members present ? I’ll have to rewatch to see who all was present again.

Interesting they didn’t hit the Congresswoman or Mallory.

Didn't he even say something at the party to the effect of getting them both back in wasn't a done deal yet but by the time he spoke to Edgar, it would be?

I'm wondering why "The Seven" is still even a thing at this point, though. Everybody seems to have other agendas/bigger fish to fry. Homelander and Stormfront seem to be operating strictly as "The Two" right now, making superhero movies can't possibly be a priority for Edgar at the present moment and Maeve appears to have unofficially quit while Black Noir just seem to do whatever he wants whenever Edgar isn't directly controlling him.

Of all the disturbing situations this series has managed to generate, the scenes where Homelander and Stormfront are actively working the kid in front of the mother is easily my most uncomfortable moment. Maybe you need to be a kid from a bad divorce to appreciate it fully?


Oh, it was absolutely disturbing. We deal with the SO's ex who constantly manipulates situations with his step-daughter (not his bio, but he helped raise her for most of her life) in a somewhat similar fashion but on a far, far smaller scale. She's one of those that she will have the kid call to ask something that we would possibly say No to if she asked herself and you can hear her in the background "coaching" her. Things like that. It's insanely infuriating in a situation that is a small fraction of what I'm sure Becca feels in that situation.

Yeah that’s all awry right now.

Stormfront and Homelander are doing their thing.

Black Black is Edgar’s enforcer.

Starlight is out and I guess a member of The Boys officially now.

The Deep and A-Train are obviously on the outside looking in, but are they just happy with getting back in or do they want to completely change it? The Deep was put out in a company decision. A-Train was a Homelander decision

Who the frick knows with Maeve right now. Really thought Elena was going to be the one to truly blow the lid on it all and then Vogelbaum was prepared to tell it all, and then he got the Kingsman treatment so who the frick knows.

I need more than 8 episodes a year of this show lol

This show is tits. Every episode is something fresh and intense.
But allergy, awkward porno watching, the burnt hand, head popping. What a fun ride.

I don’t think he’s dead though. I do find it hilarious he can be neutralized they way though


I kinda hope he is dead, and also not dead at the same time. I'm kinda tired of the "we know you are a traitor" storyline, and if Black Noir lives he will know Maeve helped out Starlight... Which is bad

ETA: Good theory on the church being the one to blow up the heads, that plays into the story they are building beyond this season. Also agree that the who supe-parenting thing is going to be a massive backfire

I think I'm going to disagree with it being the church. The first instance we see of it happening is when the government intel chick gets ka-blooey-ed at the beginning of the season. That interaction had absolutely nothing to do with the church.

What it did have to do with though was exposing Vought, that's why I am leaning toward Stan (or someone under his control) being the head-exploder. With what we know, this is the only explanation that makes sense.

Vogelbaum was likely the primary target but in order to confuse the issue the killer takes out a bunch of other seemingly random people. I use "seemingly" because while some were probably random, that randomness was used just as cover for secondary kills (like Shockwave, which allows A-Train back on the team).

I never dealt with my parents divorcing but I agree those scenes are very uncomfortable. The guy who plays Homelander is just such a great actor

I'm starting to feel the same way about Stormfront. She does well playing with that smarmy, calculating, elitist mindset that makes you just looooooove to hate her. I've already begun referring to her as "the JR Ewing of The Boys".

What. The. frick. Who is the head popper? What an end. Homelander clearly didn’t seem to know.

I think they filmed it so it was hard to tell if he was feigning surprise or genuinely didn’t know. Seemed like on one of the later pops he gestured or something right before.

I thought they would show us his face. From what we can see he looks quite disfigured so that would explain the constant masking.


Seemed a bit like Deadpool the way his face was disfigured, though BN certainly talks less.

And there has been so much changed from the comics, that it doesn’t even matter what you read from there at this point.


The same was said by people who freely posted spoilers from the Walking Dead comics or Game of Thrones books, just realize you could also be banned like many of them were. I won't pull the trigger on the RA, but others might, and the admins would rather not have to deal with the bullshite so they just make the problem go away.

Then half the people in the thread would be gone. It’s a spoilers thread, don’t want spoilers then don’t read the thread, plain and simple. I’ve spoken my peace on this. If you (or others) can’t accept that, that’s on you, I’m here for show talk moving forward.

It's good to see good ole Mrs. Patmore from Downton Abbey doing so well. Hasn't aged a day.
