This is the only show where I go into every episode genuinely afraid of what I might see, and stuff like this is why. At least Herogasm was a bunch of fully consenting people, while this may just be the most viscerally terrifying scene the show has ever done. And major kudos for not underplaying Hughie's trauma after it's over, as I can easily imagine a lot of shows (Supernatural comes quickly to mind) playing this purely for laughs. I also much appreciated the subtle joke of Tek Knight proudly pointing out his first edition of Uncle Tom's Cabin, which he clearly hasn't read because despite the current slang use of the title character, the book itself is a vicious anti-slavery screed. Unfortunately, I really didn't care for much else here. I've been more forgiving than most of the show's extremely on-the-nose political spoofing, but this crossed the line even for me (cute touch arranging for the episode to be released on Independence Day, though). And it's honestly just sad to see them do such a dramatic Sixth Sense-style reveal that Not Negan doesn't actually exist, when literally every fan of the show has called it from his second appearance at most. I can't even give the excuse I gave The Acolyte's big twist, that it wasn't intended to be that big a deal, because the presentation very much makes it clear that they genuinely thought no one would see this coming and they needed to give a full rundown of all the clues we "missed."

I’ve heard plenty of fans brace themselves each week with this show. At least with Herogasm, they gave a disclaimer at the beginning, which I would imagine, did not calm anybody down as a disclaimer for The Boys by itself sounds ominous. Concerning Not Negan, I caught a bit of him in this saying, “Wakey wakey eggs and bakey, motherfucker.” in a very Negan manner, which cracked me up something good. So, real or not, his character provided that, and I need soundbites and/or gifs for future use. One problem with the world is how everyone’s tried to copy that big twist over the last twenty-five years now that you forget how effective it is, especially when compared to the poor imitations. I first saw it back in 2010; of course, you knew it was coming and it still packed a punch. As it is, the best twist in Shyamalan’s films was the Mr. Glass twist in Unbreakable. Hope you enjoy next week’s episode more than you did this week’s.
