The way I look at it, Sister Sage is the focus of the "woke af" in this season, and I just look at her like the antagonist of Season 4 so far. She's an annoying racist twat that's easy to root against, so there you go. And like crazykirk said, of course a show like this is going to show gratuitous homosexuality and swinging dick moments for the shock value, but how do you not know that about this show going into it, especially with Garth Enis and Seth Rogan at the helm? They pushed all that as far as they could on AMC with Preacher, now they have carte blanche to let all their freak flags fly. It is what it is.
And I have a massive crush on Karen Fukuhara. Damn.
Not complaining about the show being woke at all.
Frenchie's gay romance storyline is just unnecessary. Every fucking show needs one these days apparently. [Reply]

Yea, they've been doing the "will they/won't they" with him and Kimiko from the beginning, so that doesn't help either.
Finished the 2nd and 3rd episodes. Thought they were both better than the first.
I also think Hughie's storyline with his dad (and mom now) was annoying too. Couldn't care less. [Reply]

The thing that's tough to get past is Starlight's face. Holy cow. She got butchered.
It's definitely distracting. The irony of being insecure and getting plastic surgery that looks terrible when you were beautiful before. I will never understand this phenomenon. [Reply]

Yeah, I was hopeful that it was just a bad picture when the stuff popped off over socials earlier this year, but no such luck. It’s too bad.
I’m enjoying the new season; it seems stronger than season 2 so far. The shit at the ice rink was hilarious.
Feels like they’re pulling more serious drama out this year. Looking at some core traumas that drove the characters. I think that’s the point of the stuff with Hughie’s dad. Let him dig into his mom trauma/abandonment issues.
Seems like that might be a theme of the season. They’ve given Butcher and Newman moments of that, as well, and have teased at it with Homelander.
Also…
Spoiler!
pretty sure Sister Sage got lobotomized at the end of episode 3. There was a major attitude shift there … or at least that’s what I took from the bloody implement on the table and her drastic change in attitude.

I was so confused about that scene, but you might've nailed it. I couldn't understand how the smartest person in the world could be attracted to The Deep :-)

Who do you think did the lobotomy and why? I was wondering wtf that rod was.
Edit. Just saw a theory that she does it to veg out, but she heals eventually.

My thought is that Homelander did because she had challenged him a bit that episode and he couldn’t take it after all. But her doing it to herself makes sense, too.

I have a feeling that it wasn't a blooming onion, calamari perhaps?

No... you just can't complain that something was "random" when it has been shown to you several times and you simply failed to pick up on it.
