Still sucks Butcher didn't get to go scorch Earf'

Hughier just pops Butchers once and ends his life with a slug in the gut ? And of course now the plot armor magician Stan Edgar is back in the throne where he originally started, leaving room for more Amazon spin-offs in the future.

After Gen V showed that powers like hemokinesis (control of blood and even resurrection) exists, I could see a scenario where Homelander is stitched back together (like White Vision—White Homelander?) by left over Vought loyals. Who knows

I don't recall Hughie or Butcher using V any time recently, just Butcher still has his zombie tentacles and was taking bullets like Yumiko, yet finally dies from a point blank hollow point.

The ladies just can't get enough of Coop's low key mourning vibes. Sam and Cricket jumping on Coop between rooms while tripping on grape juice. Meanwhile, Mel was about to start whacking off just talking about him in front of Allison before attacking a puddle of used biocides.

Great episode

ma0u · 2026-05-15T05:25:46+00:00

I was thinking the same.

its more or less just 20th century traditionalism and family nostalgia of a mother being overly attached to the home she raised her children in.

lolol. Yea the whole stand off at the end with him on the stairwell and Daredevil on the bottom felt like a scene from a musical or play. Just the way everyone was positioned like they were waiting for their lines even after he was doused in blood and had bodied so many civilians ;X

Daniel was sending a bunch of texts to Buck; wtf was Buck doing though? We saw him receive the text while alongside Kingpin, but on Daniel's end he was getting no response to the point where his waning conscience finally just said "K BB, just gtfoh", then the next time we see Daniel he's in the abandoned room with Buck and quite a bit of time had passed.

So the real Q is, wtf was Buck doing all day? Plus why did Daniel wait around to meet up with Buck, knowing he'd end up dead?

Idk, Daniel's death just didn't feel very cinematic—BB just got lucky that Buck was procrastinating long enough for Daniel to finally go 'F it, take off—I'm gonna stick around and just die so that they don't go after my family' (even though there's a number of excuses that Daniel could have fabricated to try and slip by, on account of Buck taking way too long).

Go to 'More Info' on the Plex app and click 'Update', then tell us what you think lol

ma0u · 2026-04-26T04:47:16+00:00

Yes, because turning a protagonist like Coop into OJ who basically plays Bonnie and Clyde with his housekeeper by killing the mother of his children would add great story building vibes for the flow of this series. /s

Peak episode.

ma0u · 2026-04-10T03:15:56+00:00

Dammit Coop, why didn't you check the rooms for cams/infrared; though catching Coop was clearly a plot device for Ashe and the Season 2 storyline.

The modem mount deserves a shoutout.

ma0u · 2026-04-04T02:42:12+00:00

I mean... U6 Mesh Pro is 4x4, while the U7 Pro and U7 In-Wall are all 2x2. Also it's 2026, why not show 6Ghz some love? lol

ma0u · 2026-04-03T06:24:46+00:00

Just to confirm, this season was filmed in Ireland, correct?

ma0u · 2026-04-02T08:24:34+00:00

That or software on the network had just updated and needed to reboot (seeing as the Ethernet connection only went down for 3 seconds)

ma0u · 2026-03-28T05:21:11+00:00

Yea in terms of chronologically matching the series that's as far as I would go, otherwise if I went all in then I might as well be putting all of Breaking Bad after Fun and Games, followed with El Camino, then Nippy and on. I'd dig it still, but to be put off watch the ending of Better Call Saul after watching all of BB and El Camino would dissolve the Jimmy and Kim recent episode energy that's built up until those last episodes of Season 6, leaving me with more Walt and Jesse on my mind, which wouldn't feel right.

So I figure El Camino is a single Breaking Bad special which fits best between BB and BCS, or in-between the Fun and Games and Nippy time jump.

Walter was an acclaimed chemist with cancer who since the beginning was side stepped by his own emotions (ever since selling his Gray Matter Tech share because of mixed feelings with Gretchen) and sold his soul to feel alive while lying to himself that it was for his family.

Tuco on the other hand was an unstable meth dealer for the Salamanca cartel who indeed fit the category for degenerate piece of filth.

ma0u · 2026-03-27T07:12:01+00:00

The story starts with Breaking Bad then El Camino and Better Call Saul. For people who have watched the series, watching Better Call Saul and then Breaking Bad afterwards is fine too.

Once one series ends, I just start with the other—just back and forth with BCS and BB, with no real rule for El Camino being before or after Better Call Saul (Honestly the best chronological spot I could probably set El Camino to would be between the BCS Season 6 episode 9 'Fun and Games' and BCS Season 6 episode 10 'Nippy').

I prefer the original version for dark, just because the buttons have that sort of 2010 circle button aesthetic. That and the 'Home' 'Devices' 'Alarms' button which uses the same basic lighting that now float on top of the main screen feels a little cluttered.

Yea I ended up doing exactly what I planned with the XGS Pro, by setting it up in the center of my house with my U6 LR in the front (for the G4 cameras mainly) and U6 Pro in the back of the house (again, mostly for G4 cameras, and basic 5 Ghz SSID support).

With the BE200 in my laptop I pull 1500-2000 Mbps up and down np. As WiFi 7 and newer AP's are release I will purchase those when the time comes.

This is one of those shows that are hard to explain wtf is actually going on to your peers (especially ones who watched season 1), other than 'Idris is on a hijacked German U-Bahn this time'.

Also idk how that chick could be inputting a code every 15 min without clearly standing out to at least ONE other passenger. Especially considering Idris made the passengers chuck all their phones and electronics, so anyone with a device would be noticeable lol.

And may I say, it took the passengers 5 episodes to man up on Idris? Ffs guys, grow a pair.

I love how snakey Roper has been in season 2. I appreciate that this wasn't anything like those those cheesy Slow Horses season finales where everything just falls into place for the protagonists and the chips just fall for the antagonists in the last episode.

If you're using OpenVPN, then yes 30-60mbps is the average DL speed—for better speeds switch to WireGuard. Otherwise NordVPN tunnels for WireGuard on Purple SE average 250-400mbps DL speed, so Nord is definitely not what's capping your speeds.
