Doom Patrol Season 1, Episode 7 – “Therapy Patrol”

The episode opens with everyone having some issues as Cyborg calls a team meeting.  Rita is struggling to maintain her form.  Larry is trying to get to know his Other, but is hampered by the Negative Man not being able to communicate.  Jane is dealing with the new revelations regarding Niles.  These issues culminate with Cliff in a rage fog, where he is hallucinating, and is unaware of his surroundings and the consequences of his actions.

After Cyborg stops the rampage by shooting Cliff in the face, Cliff has the brilliant idea of a group therapy session, but he has a loose grasp on the concept.  Most of the others are reluctant to share, but Rita plays along, and talking actually seems to help her with her concentration to maintain shape.

Cyborg discovers that his dad cut off all links to his social media accounts and that he has over 200 messages on a Tinder-like app.  What follows is a lot of left swiping and a couple easter eggs to Cyborgs from other media.  There is also an issue with his built-in computer reading his subconscious; Vic has some settings to alter.

Jane’s personalities definitely don’t agree on everything.  Hammerhead wants to rage and kick Chief’s ass, while other identities want to give Niles the chance to sit and talk about the new discoveries.

Lastly, we find some of the cause for Cliff’s hallucinations and rage…Captain Whiskers, a Mr. Nobody inspired rat.  Definitely random.

After the events of last episode, the Patrol escapes from the Ant Farm with an extra passenger, Prisoner/Subject 722.  Of course, 722 turns out to be Flex Mentallo, who the team had been looking for to help them find The Chief.  One of the most interesting things is that Flex can understand the Negative Man.  […]

It only took 12 episodes for the team to execute a plan as a team, but we see the Doom Patrol work together to accomplish a goal. What’s that goal?  Well, it is to rescue Cyborg from the Bureau of Normalcy, seeing as he was abducted last episode.  Fell for the oldest trick in the […]
 

Doom Patrol Season 1, Episode 8 – “Danny Patrol”

by Andrew Abernethy on April 8, 2019
This episode largely serves as more character development for Larry.  There have been hints at his involvement with a government agency after his accident, and “Danny Patrol” feels in those gaps in his story.

Doom Patrol, Season 1| Episode 5, “Paw Patrol”

by Andrew Abernethy on March 18, 2019
Just when this series starts to answer some questions, it also introduces other ideas with little explanation.   The Chief is allowed to come back and help the team, but only in a “enemy of my enemy is my friend” type situation.   Mr. Nobody is so much more powerful than the team apparently, that he must […]
