[S1E4] The Female of the Species
Feral females, human trafficking and aquatic pornography is present and correct as The Boys keeps inviting you into all kinds of wrong. Congressional subterfuge, a superhuman military task force and no oversight is coming closer. Meanwhile therapy sessions for certain members of this elite group reveal more than just confrontational issues. Throw in some very tangible repercussions concerning a certain translucent flasher and The Boys just turned a corner.
Penned by Craig Rosenberg who had a hand in more than one or two Preacher episodes you can see where this might be headed. Incarcerated oriental females with anger management issues, baleful eyes and a good line in burrowing out bodily organs provides the tagline. Couple that with Spice Girl references, darkly deviant Homelander decisions and an A-Train who has gone off the reservation means things are far from peachy. Those gloves have come off, those wagons are circled and Vought is moments away from fully integrating their brand into a nationwide defence initiative.
After conferring with Captain Renard, Nick and Hank check Faith's page on a social networking site and find a picture taken in the garden of the Bramble Haus, a bed and breakfast. They check with the owner and operator, Billy Capra, just as a young man and woman are checking out. Capra says he showed a room to Faith but that she did not stay. The detectives visit the garden where Hank inadvertently steps on and kills a toad. Capra says the toad is an endangered species and picks up the remains. Nick sees Capra woge into a creature form he does not recognize. As the detectives leave the garden, Capra eats the toad.
The season does not fully follow the storyline from the comics despite its faithfulness to the comic book series, as Kripke maintained the writers disciplined with the intention of retaining the show with a sense of reality by saying: "Anything that comes out of this drug is viable, and anything that doesn't we're not allowed to do".[27] The show most difficult part was the moment when Starlight is sexually assaulted, due to the MeToo movement, leading to several debates and discussions of how to adapt it. It was originally intended that Starlight would payback during the behind-the-scenes ways inside the corporation, but it was eventually changed to make her go public instead.[26] Another change of the sexual assault storyline is that the Deep assaults Starlight, instead of Homelander, A-Train, and Black Noir like the comics.[28][29] Butcher's wife Becky storyline is also changed, as Kripke didn't wanted to use the convention of killing off female characters to motivate the heroes and wanted to surprise the readers by keeping her alive instead of killing her after giving birth.[27][30][29] Another major change for the series is the plane scene, where Homelander and Queen Maeve attempts to save the citizens from the plane goes wrong and the former decides to let everyone die. In the comics the accident already succeeded before the events of the story in September 11, where the Seven instead of only Homelander and Queen Maeve intercepted a plane going to crash in the Twin Towers, but also goes awry when Homelander accidentally destroys the plane which killed everyone, including a member of the team.[29][28] This was changed to explore deeper the dynamic between Homelander and Queen Maeve, and the show taking place in a modern day.[31]
It's unlikely we'll ever see Mercer commit a war crime, Malloy outsmart the ship's computer or need subtitles for any of the species we encounter, but that's not what I'm tuning in for. I'm eager each week for the ridiculous to be presented with the uplifting. Because that's what they do.

Also eating at the restaurant are the Space Warriors, a group of eco-terrorists, with their leader Twinkle Maria Murdock. The Space Warriors confront Morgan when he boisterously demands his Sea Rat Sauté. They pull out machine guns and open fire on everyone at his table and around the restaurant. They drop a canister behind that emits a hologram and upbeat tune with a female's voice introducing their group and their mission to protect the environment.
Yes!!!!! Exactly this!!!! There was absolutely no reason for them to use the Gorn, a species that has been set in stone was not known about until Kirk & Co encountered them in Arena. Hell, it could have been in the exact same environment with a different or new alien and still worked.
keeping tabs? well, space is big, really really big. cant keep tabs on everything. also meeting in space by chance as depicted often in media is highly unlikely.of course there is fictional subspace/hyperspace, so lightbarrier for information poses no problem. that makes it fiction. remember how the stone bounced of kirk? do i now accept this as a blunder in production or do i gather, that stones on that planet are less dense than the stones were accustomed to?As long as anybody enjoys nitpicking and deconstructing go ahead, but it remains fiction and entertainment. could be wild gorn or gorn adjacent less civilized gorn or whatever, or theyre talking about a totally different reptilian species called goorn. if you need an explanation, make one up, but dont expect any fictional account to conform to ones own expectations.
Correct. Arena made it clear as day the Gorn were reacting to a base being set up in THEIR territory. They may be a hunter species but in Arena they were defending themselves. Which was a part of the story. Both the Gorn and Kirk made misplaced assumptions about what was happening and it lead to a potential fight the Metrons pushed themselves into. A good moral that still works today about where misplaced or quick assumptions can lead us.
Eric had been all badass and no heart, until his maker showed up. Godric was a 2,000-year-old vampire who had spent much of his immortal life hating humans and enacting violence upon them . . . until he experienced a change of heart and sought to repent for his ways by offering himself as a sacrifice to the Fellowship of the Sun. Godric's plan went awry when Eric intervened, but Godric still chose to "meet the sun" with hopes his sacrifice would set an example for peace amongst the species. Despite an intimidating start, Godric's compassion at the end of his life made his death one of the most upsetting moments to date, and his arc on the show was a testament to the range and depth a vampire's life could have. Like Gran for Sookie, Godric would serve as Eric's moral compass in later episodes, both encouraging him not to commit suicide while captured by Russell in Season Three and egging him on to drink Sookie's blood in a dream state in Season Four.
I think in the later seasons of TNG and then DS9 the writers did a much better job at developping female characters and making them matter as much as the male characters. Then with Voyager a women was made Captain, but her character was not well written in my opinion.
Bravo! I share many of the same opinions watching TNG. It did not bother me so much when I was watching it at the time, but now that I go back, I do see the flaws with Troi and other female characters. I guess I accepted it at first because with Yar and Crusher, I was seeing women on TV in more powerful roles thatn I had previously seen before. 041b061a72
