Exploding dicks! The best representation of someone like Kellhus so far on TV! THE ADAPTATION OF TEK KNIGHTS STORY Also televison's Jason Ritter, brought to you by the letter K.

Mostly what I remember from the comics was that he was messed up in the head and kept copulating with just about anything, animate or inanimate. I'm not familiar with the comics but they found a way to bring that in. And it's fucking hilarious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbunting Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 I am caught up on this now and it's pretty good. I think I'll wait for two episodes at a time to watch. I like Cricket the most so far, the actress stands out on the show so far. The last episode ending messed me up. I rewound(?) it because I thought it glitched and I missed something only to find out in the preview what was going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corvinus85 Posted October 14, 2023 Share Posted October 14, 2023 Gen V continues to be good. I didn't expect that twist about a certain character though in hindsight I should have. And that muppet slaughter scene was well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Rodrigo Belmonte II Posted October 14, 2023 Share Posted October 14, 2023 Very disappointed with episode 5, felt like filler, nothing much happened at all, and the plot twist really felt random and out of character. The whole thing felt like padding and unnecessary, not advancing the main storyline at all or doing anything interesting with the characters/subplot.

karaddin Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 The Muppet scene was hilarious, I would have been happy with the episode just from that. That said the revelation about what exactly happened at the end of 4 and them reckoning with that isn't filler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3CityApache Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 Yup, this was another very solid episode. Spoiler I have one doubt though. How exactly did Cate erase their memories? I thought her power was an ability to convince people to do something with a touch of her hand. How do you convince someone to forget something?

I assume she can influence all brain functions. Spoiler She didn't really erase people's memories, I think she blocked access to various short term memories. In the final scene she gives Andre's memories back, so to speak. That is why the dean said she was one of the most powerful supes in the school. Of course her limitation is having to do it by touch and apparently her own brain might be impacted by it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myrddin Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 Cate Spoiler As her power is essentially Compulsion, making someone forget is the same as making them do something else. Each action requires her to overcome their own inclinations and desires with her own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corvinus85 Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 Gen V has been renewed. https://variety.com/2023/tv/news/the-boys-spinoff-gen-v-renewed-season-2-amazon-prime-video-1235762103/ Short episode last night, but with good character moments. Spoiler Funny cameo from Soldier Boy. A bit annoyed they didn't show that the stoner guy that was with them likely died. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalbear Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 I thought it was pretty great. Nice followup from last week, nice delving into Cate's memories and showing the compromises and moral failures of everyone. I also like the possibility that Shetty is wanting to develop a way to permanently kill all supes forever - a nice echo of a major plotline in the Boys. I'm also sure that there's a 5-minute montage of Soldier Boy talking about various ways of masturbating that is gonna be awesome to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Rodrigo Belmonte II Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 Good episode, finally gave Cate a bit more personality than just always having a scared look on her face, the villains as always though are far more interesting. Hope Shetty lasts as long as homelander has in the main show. That doctor is ungrateful scum, after getting his and his family’s ass saved by supes,he still has no moral scruples about killing and torturing them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpaceChampion Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 It's fine as a show, but I'm getting irritated by the CW-ness of the young adult drama. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s quite a tonal dissonance, cause there’s copious amounts of gore and disturbing things but they shy away from complete nudity or too much swearing because of the CWish nature ? And yeah teenage angst in college kids seems weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corvinus85 Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 Well the latest episode pretty much made the show required viewing ahead of season 4 of The Boys. Liked the reveal about Victoria Neuman. I may have speculated about it at the time back in season 2-3 of The Boys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigFatCoward Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 Still slowly working through Gen V, acting is getting better. Female gender fluid supe is much better than the male (and seems to get more air time), actor playing Sam is pretty good, Cricket actress is still the absolute stand out though. Arsehole investigative reporter shagging various holes seemed unnecessarily gratuitous though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly it never crossed my mind because supes powers don't always make sense, just thought she could pop heads. Once she revealed it I was like duh, the penis pop should have told me, smaller head same out come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
