Well what do you know, they actually managed to create a situation where I'm 100% rooting for Homelander. And honestly, if you ever find yourself instinctively giving the Nuremberg excuse, you have to know you were doing wrong. It's especially interesting that we don't get any flashbacks to the experiments, and the episode relies entirely on Antony Starr's performance to convey the horror of it, which pays off tremendously. And the ending becomes the scariest thing of all for how we don't actually know what he did. When a show like this decides something is too much to put onscreen, what in god's name could that be? I had an idea the whole time what Sage's plan was setting up a rally right outside Starlight's place, and it really didn't do enough to sell me on how she would be furious enough to do something so obviously evil-looking in public. I don't even get what Firecracker thought the abortion story was going to do. The people on her side already think Starlight is guilty of way worse, and normal people won't care. At least the story gave us some great fearless name drops of the asshole celebrities who'd be all over something like this. Great to see there was actually a point to bringing Simon Pegg back for this season, and I have absolutely no idea where this is going. And with the range he's displayed in some of his roles, I could honestly see him going full hero or villain.

Sounds a hell of an accomplishment, getting people to root for Homelander. Of course, like you say, if Negan can attain the legions of fans... I always love that when done really well: Having an actor sell how horrible an event was without the aid of flashbacks. Robert Shaw having the big scene in Jaws always stands out as one of the best examples of that. Considering this show’s reputation, the fact that certain things aren’t shown on screen gives a man pause. The range that Simon Pegg’s shown over the years, I could see him going either way as hero or villain in anything he’d be in.

So, it’s good to see you’re all caught up with this show prior to tomorrow’s new episode, Jess. Especially as I know you’ve said things have not been good lately. I hope everything goes well with the new episode, filming and editing-wise. Of course, if they have a massive disclaimer like I heard they did last season with the one episode, I’ll be praying for you on the editing front of things. Come what may, all the best of luck, Jess.

If you haven't seen The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance, Pegg has one of the absolute best villain speeches of the last 20+ years.
