I have to start by shouting out the sound crew, as Rex's blood spurting out is one of those "I don't want to know how they did it, I prefer to think it's real" moments. Even while he seemed to be dead I never quite bought it since it would make the cliffhanger pointless, but the existence of genuine lasting consequences still means it doesn't feel like a copout. This could also lead to some very interesting development for him as his ego brushes up against his first mission going so terribly, and I look forward to seeing what Mantzoukas can do with that. I instantly got attached to April, and I assume she's going to have some important role if they got someone as big as Calista Flockhart to play her, but I have no idea what it could be. And it's very interesting to see her playing such a totally different character to her last comic book role in Supergirl. The whole crosscut relationship conversation was fascinating, so well written and performed by all four of them, most of all Mark Hamill who continues to throw all his chops into every moment he has, even this late in his career. Finally there's that ending, which goes right back into what's always been my favorite thing about the show, that there's always so much going on that it's extremely easy to just forget about entire important storylines until they suddenly pop back up again. I'm thinking there's going to be some big dangling threads at the season's end, and I'm actually fine with that if they can keep going on this level.

That’s a lovely ring you’re wearing on your right index, Jess. It looks quite nice. Plenty to talk about in this episode. The space battle was indeed great for showcasing the good teamwork. Shapesmith came through atoning for his actions. I agree that it was a strong moment for Immortal, despite his understandable trust issues with Mark, conceded Mark’s point, and committed to working together with him. The fight on Earth, you were less optimistic than I was concerning the likely outcome of the cliffhanger. Even so, seeing Rex get shot, you were immediately on my mind, and indeed, your reaction was striking. Funnily enough, my mind did clock the placement of the wound, thinking, it would be a stretch, but it looked survivable, though I wasn’t expecting him to get back up right then and there. Neither of us were prepared when he got back up, leading me to marvel, “Cheese and crackers! Looks like when they made this fella, they forgot to put in the quit!!” Subsequently, I LIVED for your reaction to the hell of a second wind that Rex had. You spoke of his earning his paycheck, if I were Cecil, I’d give the order, “Someone make sure a hefty raise is given to that man’s paycheck.” I do so love how you are now in possession of the information that Rex could take a fucking bullet to his goddamn noggin, and live. I also shared your shock that Rae lived, which I went, “...She’s alive!?” Of course, some of my beloveds have somehow returned through grimmer odds, probability of survival-wise, hence I am in no position to judge. Shame about Kate, and Immortal is taking it quite hard, though he does get the good talk from Samson, who yes, is Ezekiel, or in my case, he’ll always be Cyborg to me. Seeing him in The Walking Dead makes me say he could pull off Cyborg in live action, and I would be so here for that. Fantastic to see that the revelation that Rex has a passion for interior aesthetics goes a long way to making him most endearing to you, Jess. And never mind if I may or may not feel the same way, I am living for how endearing Rex has become to you. Absence of romantic relationships though I have, I do concur that relationships are not one size fits all, and Mark and Amber, to their credit, are seeking outside help. Love that Mark goes to see Art, the wise old Jedi Master. And I love the advice Art gave to Mark, even going so far as to cite his own past experiences. Ah, the days of him and Harley taking on the world. And I love he gave the words of wisdom to Mark about missing Omni-Man. My own thoughts being, he misses having his dad. Nothing wrong with that. Nice to see Rick again, and good that he has William to help him. Again, I can’t entirely fault Cecil as it concerns Oliver, because you could end up in a Jack-Jack Attack situation. Though as you note, Debbie does have the experience of raising someone half-Viltrumite, and she is, of course, Mama-Boss. Concerning April, it could go either she’s a stand-up lady or she doth possess significant shadey-shade, as you described. Made more uncertain with Calista Flockhart playing her lending to big star power. I’m keeping my options open. I do hope for more of Allen. The books are intriguing. I like how you said, “I’m listening.” which is similar to my comments, “...Continue.” Had a mild double take about the ray, saying, “You mean, the Bela and Boris picture? No. That was The Invisible Ray.” And to end on the cliffhangers of the nonsense of the poor guy getting sequid hijacked again, which makes a man yell, “For crying out loud!!” the business with the Viltrumites, and we have a small update on Angstrom. Things should get spicy. Great episode, followed up by a lovely reaction, Jess, I thank you so much.

As I mentioned, I did notice the bullet wound seemed off-center,which gave just enough advance warning that Rex wasn’t completely down for the count, though still a hell of a jolt when he got back up and fought with more psychotic determination than John Cleese as the Black Knight. Rex is likely going to do some soul searching after that divine intervention of God coming down from Heaven and moving that bullet. I am most excited about Calista. I haven’t seen the whole show, but what I saw of Supergirl, I loved her character and arc both, and I’m most interested in whatever direction they take with her as April. I’ll laugh so hard if she shares a scene with Art and he asks how’s her husband these days. Speaking of Art, yeah, Mark Hamill continues to show what immense fucking chops he has. The show does fantastic with bringing up again some of the bigger plotlines after not focusing on some of them for a while, making you go, “Oh, shit, haven’t thought about that in a while.” How this season concludes, I don’t know, I’m just here for the ride.

Of course it makes a lot of sense for Ezekiel to be here since they're both Robert Kirkman comics (and this time we even get Levy taking a detour through the literal Walking Dead world).
