renew! "Black Robe Picket" S2E7-E8: The brightest fire in the dark

Sorry, there is really not much free time during the National Day, which has caused the article on episode 7 to be delayed again and again. Now, episodes 7 and 8 have been written together.

These two episodes can be described as climaxes, and the finale is quite satisfying. What most audiences care about most should be the ups and downs of the storm, the shocking secrets of Congressman Newman, etc. But for me, what touched me the most was Butcher's sad redemption - precisely because of "The Black Robe Picket" It is a work that does not have a completely positive character, and these human radiance is more moving.

stride forward

At the beginning of E7, the play continues to substitute reality into fantasy : an introverted young man who worships storms and has conservative tendencies, is trapped in an information cocoon full of fear and hatred, bombarded by all kinds of homogenized news every day, and becomes more and more extreme...

Eventually, he walked into the convenience store he frequented and shot the cashier he mistook for a "super villain."

This world is indeed "suffocating", including Xingguang, who is admired by thousands of people. Her relationship with her mother has eased, and she candidly finds that she has been deceived and has been unable to adjust her mentality. She thought it was destiny, but unexpectedly It was an arranged business, and she felt that she had dedicated her life to nothingness.

When Xingguang realized that her mother had said too much to Walter, it was too late, and she was immediately arrested by Black for betraying the company.

After the shooting at the convenience store, Storm made a promise to appease the dead and shouted the slogan "Legalization of Compound No. 5": We need more superhumans!

Instead of causing the public to reflect and calm down, this sudden incident intensified the potential worry and panic of many people.

At this rally, the motherland also disclosed the news that "Xingguang is a traitor". Although he was very dissatisfied with letting Xingguang die, Feng Feng felt that setting an obvious target would be more conducive to gathering public opinion.

Judging from the exchanges between the two, the storm is indeed more foresight, and the motherland has largely obeyed her words .

Right now, the one who makes the people of the motherland happiest is his son. He took the storm to see Ryan. The storm obviously knew the existence of this child, and said with anticipation, "You are the first born superhero", it seems that Prepare to train him as a successor to carry the flag.

This also detonated the essential difference between the two of them and Becca's educational philosophy: to be a god or an ordinary person . The problem is that Ryan made Beja protect so well (deceived too deeply) that he didn't even know what the world was like.

People in the motherland believe that Ryan grew up in the same environment as when he was a child. He was isolated and deceived, and when he grew up, he would definitely (like himself) be psychologically distorted.

The ideas of Becca and the people of the motherland are a bit extreme, and at the same time, there are reasonable elements ... It's just that Becca, who is low-pitched, has no qualifications to bargain when it comes to parenting power.

The bubble of lies is easy to burst . The natives only need to take Ryan to look at the outside world, and the boys in the rebellious period will be angry immediately.

The angry Ryan left his mother and left with the motherland and the storm. For the two of them, it was really smooth sailing.

never give up

The lamp man became a tainted witness, and the "important task" of keeping him fell to Huey - a non-dangerous job, mainly watching various Sevens-themed pornographic films (Amazon really does took some pictures)…

Lampman's negativity and depression also infected Huey, who felt weak, and the two of them sighed and watched the film in this atmosphere.

But unlike Lantern, Huey still had a burning fire in his heart -when he saw the news of Starlight being arrested, and Lantern guessed where she might be shut, he immediately rose up.

Huey also instigated the lamp man to take him to go deep into the tiger's den, and any escort tasks were not important.

After knowing the truth of the crash, Irina couldn't get over the hurdle in her heart. Maeve, who had endured for a long time, finally broke out... She didn't want to pretend any more, and naturally she would not stop Irina from leaving.

Afterwards, Maeve turned on the self-defeating mode, randomly found a man to go to bed and mess around and fly leaves together - but only to the extent of losing her temper in front of Ashley.

Water Company did not fill the security loophole that Lantern still had permission in the Water Building. Lantern and Huey came all the way smoothly... In the conference room of the Super Sevens, Lantern cared more about saving people than saving people. The glory he once had, but his statue has long been replaced.

Ever since he left the Sage Grove Hospital, Lantern has been determined to die, but he doesn't know where and when he will die. Now, he has made up his mind, and he ends himself in this place where he used to be "proud". .

Of course, Lantern's self-immolation indirectly helped Xingguang and Huey (the fire alarm was triggered and helped "one-handed"), Maeve used almond chocolate to stop Black's obstruction, and Xingguang and others escaped smoothly.

It is not difficult to find that Lantern and Xingguang are very similar, and they are an excellent set of contrasts: the same young man who is successful, has a smooth Xingluo, and shines on the lintel, but also the same slump, bewilderment, and despair. Lantern because of lack of care With the person who pulled him, he committed suicide hastily because of the hardships. Xingguang is much luckier, because when she first fell into the quagmire, she met Huey (and a sincerely apologetic mother) who never gave up on her.

In fact, there is a more suitable witness than the lamp man, that is, Dr. John Wogbaum, the cultivator of the motherland, but Mallory and breast milk could not persuade him to testify in court, or he did not give up at all. strength to persuade.

Now Mallory is a soft-hearted old lady , she doesn't want to see needless sacrifices again, and she also wants breast milk and family to fly away - because in her opinion, this war with Walt will never end.

The two who secretly "protected" their partner (Congressman Newman) have made great progress, and Kimiko has begun to teach Frankie's unique sign language.

It seems that Frankie's release has also had a positive impact on Himiko, and they finally opened their hearts one after another.

Butcher was deceived by his mother's words "your dad is gone" before his father who had no time (the two are in the same frame, I really want to play the actor meme of "The Lord of the Rings"), the old man is a bastard who only believes in fists, In his eyes, Leni was too weak to die, while the strong Butcher became another tough guy/jerk under his own "stick".

For the most part, Dad was right.

After looking back and learning that Wagerbaum was unwilling to testify, Butcher went again and inquired about some gossips of the motherland when he was a child. He pointed out Wagerbaum's heinous crimes, and then directly threatened to kill his whole family. The other party immediately agreed. cooperated.

Lost to the east, harvested mulberry. Although the lamp man is gone, the more important Wagbaum came. Butcher relied on the ruthlessness and ruthlessness bestowed by his father to regain a city -he saw the end of his embarrassed loneliness, and his future ending. Will that be the case too?

turnaround

When the trial was about to begin, the judge, Wagbaum, Shockwave, and many others were suddenly headshot, and the court was plunged into bloody chaos, and the trial was not over.

Similar to the shooting at the beginning of the seventh episode, the direct consequence of this nationwide live broadcast of the terrorist attack was not the search for the truth, but a further explosion of public panic and radical conservatism.

The safety education video jointly shot by Walter and the police to prevent the attack of "super villains" reflects that Walter and the US National Security Cooperation have extended from the military field to the civilian field.

At the same time, the voices of "Legitimate Compound No. 5" are also increasing day by day, and the legislation is about to be passed...

The smarter people guessed that the attack was done by the Walter Company, but no one had any evidence to prove it , including the motherland and the storm who were enjoying it. Degas' big deal.

On the other hand, Bucher, who was already a little unhappy and went the legal route, completely gave up his fantasy. The Spice Girls team had a high desire to fight and began to organize their weapons and prepare for a big fight-but in Huey's view, the partners were more likely to execute a fight. Suicide action, he wanted to try again, so Xingguang, who had just sent away his mother, accompanied him to find Maeve who might testify.

In fact, Starlight also felt that what Huey did was a "hopeless thing", but she was still willing to help because Huey never gave up on herself.

Not surprisingly, their expectations fell through: the disheartened Maeve just ran away, not because she was afraid of death, but because she felt that nothing could change the reality.

Maeve is right and wrong... Reality can change, it's just who decides how to change it. Edgar and Astaire are haggling, they agree that Deep Sea will return to the Sevens, and Locomotive will not, because of the resistance of the storm.

This was actually a game designed by the two old foxes. They deliberately let the locomotive hear the conversation, and guided him to steal the secret files of the storm kept in the church, so as to solve the obstacle of returning to the team. How to expose it is the locomotive's own business.

After losing Ryan, Becca escaped alone and found Butcher. Now the only person she can turn to is her husband... Compared with Butcher, people like French and Breast Milk seem to be more "enthusiastic" for her, because there are good play~

For Becca's request, Butcher has no hesitation, but his motive for agreeing to go to Ryan is not simple , because he wants to solve the problem once and for all.

Butcher went directly to Edgar. Before discussing the specific details of cooperation, they had to find out whether the other party could cooperate.

Edgar seems to be a very pure businessman . Although the situation has developed to this stage is not what he hopes to see, but as the current head of the Water Company, he can only make the best use of the situation and maximize the benefits.

Here is a problem that I didn’t fully consider before: there is actually a serious factional struggle within Walter , and “historical remnants” like Storm are radicals who want to purify the race and can’t hold back. Businessmen like Degas are conservatives who devise strategies and value profits, and they are not the same.

At least in the general sense, Edgar is a sensible man who only talks about business (for the time being, no deeper intentions can be seen), and everything he does (even if it is an attempt to seize more political power) is for the better. Control Walter and make more money.

redemption and rebirth

Considering that Ryan could contain the people of the motherland, Butcher and Edgar reached an agreement that Butcher could steal Ryan and give Walter a new guardianship, on the condition that Becca would return to him and have nothing to do with Walter— - As for Becca's inability to let go of her son's feelings, just make up a reason to deceive her.

The two confirmed that each other was a ruthless bastard, and the cooperation was over.

It's rare to do a good thing. The Spice Girls team is ready to go out, and Becca will also go together. She seems to have a hunch, insisting that Butcher must bring Ryan back, and he also swears in the name of his brother Leni.

This request struck a chord in Butcher's once broken heart, and he began to waver.

After Ryan calmed down, he turned back to the gentle, weak, and learning boy, but the people of the motherland, especially the storm, could not see his lack of aggression (poor Ashley, you are not welcome to do anything) , and decided to take him to experience the lively city life and eat at the Sevens themed restaurant, but Ryan, who has been with his mother for a long time, couldn't stand the noisy environment at once, so the motherland gave him another quiet place.

As the saying goes, blood is thicker than water, and the people of the motherland are trying to be like a father. Through his own experience, he gradually comforted Ryan to calm down, and he himself enjoyed the intimate warmth of father and son.

The good times didn't last long. Starlight and Huey released the storm's files. Before the latter could teach Ryan to understand anger, fear and hatred, he had to deal with the mess of instant ruin... After the motherland was also led away, Butcher And Becca took Ryan away.

Butcher changed his mind, he decided to let Becca and Ryan leave together, and he only needed to be the scum who was "cut" off - Butcher may not realize that his willingness to fulfill his wife's behavior has been completely shattered After breaking the shackles that his father created for himself, he has achieved half of the redemption after a lifetime of evil deeds.

It's a pity that Becca and the others hadn't gone far before the car was overturned by the storm that came back suddenly... The rest of the people decided to cover the family of three to evacuate, and then under the laughter of Kimiko, a unique action scene began...

Storm has more actual combat experience and stronger anti-strike ability. It is true that the team members alone are not opponents. It was not until Maeve joined the situation that the situation was reversed. If it weren't for "stupid? Mother can fly!" Can't be kicked to death.

Lane is the key to everything. Although Storm was seriously injured, it was more than enough to deal with two ordinary people. When Becca was dying, Lane used his Cyclops in extreme panic and anger... Storm became a broken limb. Anakin Skywalker, Beja was mortally wounded.

Becca could never let go of her son. Her only wish before her death was to let Butcher not take anger on the child who did not make a mistake, and to ensure Ryan's safety.

The moment after his wife died, Butcher, who picked up the crowbar, should really want to kill Ryan, but the sudden arrival of the motherland made him sober: I promised Becca, this is the last time between me and her. commitments and contacts.

Even if there is no chance of winning in the face of the motherland, even if he has no excess feelings for Ryan, Butcher still did not flinch, so far he has completely completed his self-redemption.

Maeve, who decided to stand up, once again turned the tide. She used a video that could make the people of the motherland never turn around and threatened the other party to let everyone go. Even if the people of the motherland threatened to kill everyone, she would not give in.

At this moment, the important thing is not the video itself, but Maeve has the courage to find out everything about the motherland and dare to die together.

The people of the motherland were not sure to stop Maeve, let alone become an enemy of the whole world, so he compromised.

come out on top

This turmoil has come to an end for the time being, and we have also ushered in the end of the season.

The Water Company poured all the dirty water on the storm again (the storm was not dead, but her faction completely lost ground), got rid of the negative assets and went back on the road. The deep sea was sold again.

It's funny and distressed to see Shen Hai's grievance and anger, so let's give up the church and find a good partner~

Xingguang still intends to stay in the Super Sevens. This does not mean that she has changed her outlook on Walter Company, but intends to use her own power to change Walter until she changes the world - a "reformer" who regains her ideals is born . While Huey was happy for Annie, she also had plans for further independence.

Meanwhile, after so much together (and getting to know each other's mother better), Huey and Starlight's romantic relationship is settled.

Butcher is facing the problem of how to deal with Ryan. It is obviously unrealistic to keep him by his side. The most reliable way is to hand him over to Mallory and send him to an incognito ordinary life.

Before parting, Butcher gave Becca's necklace to Ryan, which was the only token left between her and his wife. This situation once again showed that he was no longer the bastard he thought he was , and he believed that the blessed Ryan would. As they wish, they will not grow into a "scumbag".

The members of the Spice Girls Squad are cleared of charges, and the team is temporarily disbanded.

Butcher's whereabouts are unknown, breast milk returned to his wife and daughter, Frankie and Himiko began to enjoy life, Huey came to Newman's office, and he wanted to make his contribution in a more "conventional" way...

The people of the motherland suddenly found that he had to continue to be a puppet who couldn't do whatever he wanted. He didn't dare to gamble at the risk of losing his son, reputation, power, and he could only "comfort himself" under the night sky.

Well, it's wonderful to stand on the ** building and make a plane with King Kong's "similar work and the same song"...

Finally, let's talk about the biggest winner of the season: Congressman, staunch "anti-superhero" politician and first director of the White House's new Office of Transhuman Affairs, Victoria Newman , who is also a secret son of Walter , is the super human who can make people suddenly headshot.

Because Newman has always insisted on opposing the Water Company and advocating limiting the actions of superhumans, her status has now risen, and she has a place in the White House, and her (real power) authority has greatly increased.

And the congregational church, which seemed very capable in the second season, now seems to be just an abandoned child thrown away by Walter.

In fact, when Astaire kicked off the worthless eagle, it can be found that the assembly church did not have as much appetite and ambition as expected .

The dialogue between Astaire and Newman further proves that this church is just trying to gain more power for itself to continue to survive before it is completely abandoned by the times.

The only use value of Jizhong Church is a fairly long-term inheritance. After getting rid of the storm, Astaire, who fantasized about stinking superheroes for profit, immediately silenced Newman.

For Newman, the value of the church is not as high as that of the Spice Girls. Judging from the fact that she has given Mallory a lot of resources to form a new team, she is still doing the same thing as before: drawing snakes out of their holes, gathering ideas and ability to respond. Water disadvantaged, then focus/sneak to eliminate.

After all, this team alone has provided her with CIA Deputy Director Renee, Renegade Lamp and Dr. Wagerbaum, and who knows how many other opponents of that kind have just died in confusion at the hands of her and Walter?

This is an unexpected and reasonable reversal. Regarding Newman's own position, I tend to believe that she is an insurance measure placed by Edgar in the political arena. Strong escort, any plan to bring down Walter cannot escape their eyes.

As for whether Newman belongs to another faction of Walter, or even if she is not from Walter at all, it is unlikely at present, because from the previous clues, Newman and Edgar have been in contact with each other, and they have been remote for several times. Sing double reed.

However, it is difficult to guarantee that Newman will have dissent or attempt to make himself bigger. The human heart is always the most difficult to guess .

The second season of "Black Robe Pickets" has ended, and the story of the third season may be even darker and more treacherous. We will meet again then!

[You are also welcome to pay attention to my official account "You Love Comment Area". 】

"Black Robe Picket" S2E6: Close one door, open two windows

This episode has a feeling of "willows and flowers". Although the more clues are laid, the more the overall compactness is improved. Coupled with the appearance of several highly visible characters, bridges and revelations, the viewing experience is quite good. .

As for the content of this episode, I can only say: there is no such thing as a perfect road . After God closed the door, he opened two windows at the same time, including the "skylight" that was too big.

open heart

The first protagonist of this episode is none other than Frankie. Through some flashbacks, we learn about his past and his grievances with the Lamplighter (the Lamplighter).

Eight years ago, Frankie was still living a heartless criminal life with Shirley and Jay, until he was caught accidentally...

Mallory took a fancy to frankie's "craftsmanship" , and recruited him into his secret operations team on behalf of the public.

We have no way of knowing when everyone joined the team, but 5 years ago, Mallory, Butcher, Breastmilk, and French were already familiar with each other, and Breastmilk was about to propose - this time, they seem to have gotten the light The man's black material, and coerce him to do the inside should provide Walter's intelligence.

In order to prevent the unwilling lamp man from making small moves, they have to take some minimum insurance measures, and it is Frank who is responsible for tracking.

But, on the night the Lampman found an opportunity to kill Mallory, French received a call that "Jay was dying of a drug overdose", he hurried back to save people, and then left in a hurry.

From Frankie's performance at this time, it can be seen that he and his former best friend have become estranged a lot, and Jay's drug overdose is obviously related to the "feeling of loss" - the reality is that Frankie has lived up to the good in the past. Buddy, also failed current friends , Mallory's grandchildren and Jay both lost their lives in the end... poor man.

Back in time, Frankie helped Starlight take away the tracker on her body, allowing her to temporarily join the Spice Girls Squad while providing information on the "Greek of the Sages".

Interestingly, both Butcher and Xingguang are very different from each other (the reasons are not new), although the words are not clear, but the words are full of gunpowder.

After that, the group came to the Grove of Sages. My guess in the last episode was deviated: it was called a mental hospital, but it was actually Walter's human laboratory , where many "abnormal" superhumans were kept.

Frankie, Breastmilk, and Himiko's actions were going well until they saw Storm and Lampman execute a disobedient young man...

Himiko is okay, now she can control herself not to be impulsive. What she has to worry about is Frankie, who is on the verge of going berserk. In his eyes, the lamp man is synonymous with hatred .

After a confused fight, Lantern accidentally opened the door of Cindy's cell, and then, all the subjects ran out and started killing ("The Cabin in the Wood").

The mental hospital turned into a hell on earth in an instant. After seeing Kimiko's skills, Touto agreed to form a temporary "survival alliance" with him.

However, the resentment that had been simmering in their hearts for many years could not be avoided . When they settled down a little, Lantern and Frankie began to expose each other's wounds. .

Generally speaking, the guilt of the lamp man was deeper, so he couldn't help but tell the truth first: I burned the wrong person.

Now that he is willing to explain and admit his mistake, there is nothing to say more. The lamp man poured out the dark deeds of the sage bush: Walter wants to stabilize Compound 5, and strive to one day be able to inoculate adults on a large scale. , rather than always betting on the baby's luck and time-consuming.

As for Walter's purpose for doing this, the Lampman can't tell, after all, he's just a disheartened, numb and depraved "scavenger" here.

Frankie felt the remorse and honesty of the lamp man, and his angered heart gradually calmed down. He also told the truth about his "missing people" back then. This can make everyone understand his truth to a large extent. Frankie hid it alone for five years.

He didn't want to be forgiven, he wanted to punish himself - in that sense, Frankie was like the Lampman.

I won't talk about the part where breast milk was attacked by the "big penis" later, everyone will review the aftertaste for themselves... The group was disrupted by Cindy and the storm, but they finally escaped from the hospital without a hitch. After this battle, Frankie was relieved a lot, and he also understood his paranoia that he concealed and hurt others and himself.

It's not that he doesn't care about Himiko anymore, it's just that he won't try to impose his self-righteous will on the other party... In another "invalid communication", Frankie reached a reconciliation with Himiko on his own .

The focus now is on the lamp man who intends to join the gang. Before that, he has to pass Mallory's gate: if the other party shoots him down, then he is free; if the other party holds back, then he will continue to carry his sins. Feelings to bring down the Water Company together.

Frankie, who wanted to kill the lamp man most before, became the protector of the lamp man at this moment, because he understood that for people with self-blame, living is the only way to suffer, because the two of them are the same kind of people.

When the hospital was in chaos, the three people who were responding outside also had an accident. They were attacked by an experimental subject who ran out. Both Butcher and Annie were fine, but the unlucky Huey was fatally injured.

Butcher and Annie, who were on the verge of fighting not long ago, threw their anger into the clouds and immediately cooperated seamlessly.

On the matter of saving Huey, the two are unprecedentedly consistent, but their differences are only reflected in the specific means used : the same is blocking the car, Annie wants to be courteous and affectionate, Butcher thinks The trick is to coax and deceive. If you can't deceive, you will grab it outright. As a result, the driver finds that he has drawn a gun in self-defense, and the anxious Annie makes a move.

In order to save Huey, Anne finally wounded innocent people and stained her hands with the blood of sin.

However, Butcher appreciates this (it may also be gloating), seeing Annie's expression on the road softens a lot, and even smiles... Annie looks even more angry: it's not because you caused trouble I hurt people! Don't say any superfluous words, we are not the same people at all.

Anne and Butcher are indeed two types of people, at least, she never agrees that she will be reduced to another Butcher.

Don't worry too much about Huey's smooth admission to the hospital. "Black Robe Pickets" obviously doesn't think much about the rationality of the basic plot ... Seeing that Huey turned the corner, Butcher and Annie breathed a sigh of relief, and then While counting down Huey's flaws, he expressed his concern and doting on Huey.

This naive, eccentric, and weak man is so kind, caring for everyone around him, and never giving up. The two of us are not worthy of his goodness.

Butcher and Anne reached an agreement on this point, because of Huey's existence, no matter what they encounter in the future, they will be more calm and calm.

open skylight

The reason why Maeve asked Shen Hai for help was revealed. It turned out that she asked the other party to find the plane that crashed into the sea last season, and found black boxes, mobile phones, cameras and other evidence that might prove the crimes of the motherland .

However, while making such a nasty insult to the people of the motherland, she will also follow along... Before thinking about how to deal with it, Maeve must not leak the evidence, let alone let others know the secret between herself and the deep sea.

Before Shen Hai left, he ran into a locomotive with the same fate. The latter was confused and followed him to the congregation church. The locomotive has a strong sense of defense and is not as easy to fool as the deep sea. Therefore, the president of the church, Alastair Point out his predicament before he leaves.

It seems that the energy of the gathering church is stronger than it appears, and the interests are not all aligned with Walter . Facing despair, the locomotive cannot refuse the church's "coaching", but his position and role will be more complicated than the simple deep sea. .

Not long after that, Irina accidentally discovered the truth of the crash. Maeve couldn't hide it from her, so she had to tell the truth, saying that this evidence was the only way for the two to escape the crisis, and kept emphasizing her own involuntarily and many difficulties at the time ...

However, the problem now is not the safety of the two, but Irina's attitude towards Maeve: after seeing more of Maeve's true face, Irina, who can't rub the sand in her eyes, will cooperate honestly Is she?

The interaction between the motherland and the storm is still the highlight of this episode. At the beginning of the episode, the two people continued their previous style of being shameless and maddened, executing little thieves at will on the street, and then accompanied by blood and corpses, life Boundless joy.

These days, the people of the motherland have completely become the little fanboys and little milk dogs of the storm. The other party's willful behavior is too appetizing, which arouses his desire to conquer, and he is extremely excited every day.

Before the storm rushed to the center of the Sage's Grove, the motherland even prepared a bouquet of flowers for her, calling it a "surprise".

They have all made this kind of "vulgar" behavior. It can be seen that the storm has caused the people of the motherland to be confused and confused ...

However, as the storm released their pigeons, the natives gradually realized their abnormality, especially after realizing that the other party was lying to them, the natives angrily burned the flowers, the entire trailer and half of the set, but they still pretended to be Make an understatement to show calm.

The more restrained the natives appear, the greater the psychological problem he has. He has played with general methods before, but this time it is not so easy to fool, and the heat is almost the same. Storm feels that it is time for a showdown.

The storm told the motherland the truth: the "grandmother" who took a photo with herself was actually her deceased daughter Chloe, who was born in Berlin, Germany in 1919 (101-year-old old man of the century), and was Frederick Walter His wife is also the first experimental product to be successfully inoculated with Compound 5.

This can explain a lot of questions in the play. No wonder Storm has so much authority and can do so many things. She is not the killer or enemy of Walter, she is Walter.

Storm clarifies the company's strategic goals, selling idols to make big money, etc. These are all insignificant small businesses, and completing the unfinished ethnic cleansing of the Nazis is Walter's great cause , which can be achieved by an invincible "superhuman army".

Therefore, it is the only way for Walter to intervene in the US military industry and national defense affairs. It will be a matter of time before Compound No. 5 is made public , and the people of the motherland are the most ideal leaders.

In addition to the influence and appeal of the people of the motherland, what the storm values ​​more is probably the super genes that the people of the motherland can inherit.

Judging from her words, my speculation in the last season is very likely. It is very difficult for superhumans to give birth to children with superpowers ... Personally, perhaps this is the reason why Storm is more happy and likes the people of the motherland. Bar?

Personally, there shouldn't be much falsehood in Storm's shocking remarks. If she wants to continue to deceive the motherland, there are some excuses and methods, but she is happy now, and it's no big deal to tell the truth: we are gods, and we can still create God of God.

It is worth pondering that the last scene at the end of this episode slapped the storm silently: Cindy, who had been stunned by her earlier, ran out, looking to endanger society——

Why do you self-righteous "gods" think that mortals will be obediently at your mercy? The flood you are going to use to destroy the world may be poured back into the sky, and the fire you use to transform mankind may also burn your noble Holy Body.

"Black Robe Picket" S2E5: ready to go

I can't be happy after watching the fifth episode, not because of how bad this episode is, but from the content design and sense of rhythm of this episode, the show has a faint meaning of water injection and delaying the progress - in the renewal chapter After three seasons, "Black Robe Picket" has further become Amazon's "fist product". It is a high probability event to slow down the pace. I am very worried that this show will end up with the same fate as many American dramas: it started well, procrastinated, and ended up unfinished. .

Take the scenes of Motherland & Storm, Frankie & Himiko in this episode as an example, they all conflict with the previous episode to some extent, and the "brotherhood" between Butcher and Huey is also a big one. Not a small pit... I hope I think too much, I hope the "little reversal" in this episode is to serve the next bigger explosion.

waking up from a dream

Butcher, who was dumped by his wife, was resentful and empty. After a fight in the bar, he answered Huey's phone. He looked like he had no love , and said something that made Huey feel clueless.

Compared with the "running" in Butcher's mouth, his "friendly" attitude is more suspicious (don't take guns, don't swear, there is absolutely a problem!)... After learning more about Butcher's breast milk, he immediately on the heart.

At this time, Butcher came to aunt Judy's house to visit and walk the long-lost pet dog, Xiao Fear. I have to say that the bulldog is really in line with Butcher's temperament.

At this time, Butcher's temperament has changed drastically, and he has some meaning of "explaining the future". Obviously , the previous experience has hit him so hard that he began to doubt everything, and may even have thoughts of suicide ...

Fortunately, his teammates came to prepare to pull him... Judy also bluntly said that Huey is very similar to Lenny.

Butcher was in a fit of temper at this time, and naturally didn't want to listen to breast milk and Huey chattering, but he couldn't leave now, because Xuan Se had already set his sights on this place.

When breastfeeding was procrastinating, Butcher confessed the fact that "Becca didn't want to go with me", as if his teammates could ignore themselves. As a result, Huey became even more enthusiastic and spoke out to stimulate Butcher, which finally made him lose his mind. The "Mr. Rage" has regained some anger.

Of course, this is not enough.

While waiting for the black to come to the door, Judy told about Butcher's younger brother Leni: he is a relative of Butcher, and it is a special existence that prevents Butcher from turning into a complete bastard.

Lenny used to be Butcher's "lifeline", and now Huey has gradually become this role. Butcher probably wants to keep a distance from him to protect Huey.

After the trap worked, everyone had a chance to escape, but Butcher closed the door and went head-to-head with Black (it seems that he hasn't completely broken his will to die), and as a result, Breastmilk and Huey never gave up on him... ... Just when Black was about to kill Huey, Butcher came back to his soul.

Although Butcher was hurt for a while, he was not stupid. Becca's son Ryan, who couldn't let go, was the most mysterious and special property of the Water Company. If this news was exposed, the earthquake would be far greater than No. 5. Compound turmoil - Edgar immediately relented.

By the way, in this episode, Xuan Se is just a tool man who is not afraid of pain and only knows how to obey orders. Is he really without will, or is he hiding very deeply?

After this campaign, Butcher finally regained his fighting spirit. He didn't know how shameless he was when he was chasing his wife. Now, why is he cowardly after being rejected once? It's not that Becca doesn't love herself anymore, it's just that she can't let go of Ryan. If that's the case, then it's enough to kill the motherland and Walter Company who are in the way.

The other two members of the "Spice Girls Squad" did not have a good time in this episode. Franky found out that Kimiko was taking orders to kill, and the middleman was still his friend Cherie. Himiko pulled back "on track".

I have no doubts about Himiko's pain and Frankie's sincerity, but unfortunately the two never communicated on the same channel ... After expressing their dissatisfaction and disappointment with each other, the two temporarily separated, I hope they can return to the team as soon as possible ( and the main story) Come on.

restart

Sure enough, Maeve's orientation immediately became a new selling point, and Water Company was working hard to tap the rich commercial value from top to bottom - as for Maeve's own thoughts and feelings? Who cares.

This is exactly the punishment method of the motherland: Maeve has been concealing it for fear of causing a threat and burden to herself and Irina. After the relationship was exposed, she was not relieved at all, only more restrained.

Now, Maeve has become more rigid, completely hiding all her true thoughts, even if the Walter Company pulls Irina to do various publicity activities that she does not want to participate in, she can only let it go.

The more polite and heartfelt blessings from the motherland appeared on the surface, the more trembling and panic Maeve felt in her heart.

Maeve had to be careful not to lose her temper, not to be out of line, especially not to let Irina out of her sight, she was afraid that the people of the motherland would suddenly attack... Only by her side can her lover be safe.

Before there is no suitable countermeasure, let's "pretend" to be a sweet couple.

There is also a pair of newlywed Yan Er who is extremely sweet in front of the camera (I don't know how many ingredients) - that is Jizhong Church member Shen Hai and her wife Cassandra.

Deep Sea listened to Carol's strategy, created the character design of "The Prodigal Son" , and also made some fresh publicity for Jizhong Church, which is no longer in the limelight.

Judging from Storm’s words, Jizhong Church was “upper-grade” in the past (probably had a large number of believers, and only native whites were allowed to join), but then it continued to decline, and it also absorbed a large number of “ethnic minorities” to gain momentum.

"Black Robe Pickets" continues the teasing of the church . For example, when the deep sea was a platform for missionary activities, many people came to "distribute food"... For many church organizations in the United States, which are increasingly embarrassed, this It can be said to be very distressing.

Maeve suddenly appeared in front of the deep sea. Although she deeply despised this marginalized teammate, the other party was a good partner at this time .

Maeve can claim to help the deep sea restore its past status, but now her only thorn in the side of the motherland is the motherland. It seems that she is going to use the deep sea to trap the captain, right?

big ticket

Ambitious motherlanders are becoming more and more like idiots with high eyes and low hands...

Arbitrarily dispatched to fight "super villains", accidentally killed innocent civilians when "acting chivalrous", but was also filmed and caused an uproar, with an approval rate of 9.5%.

As an air bag sandwiched between the Water Company and the motherland, Ashley's head is about to explode, and she can only carefully convey the meaning of Edgar and the legal department "no comment" - think about it, now People of the motherland, no matter what they say is wrong, it is better to wait for the public opinion to cool down a little and think of a strategy before responding.

The protagonist of this episode is Storm, who walks beside the other "problem players", constantly brushing her presence.

After the trouble in the last episode, the storm began to take the initiative to show favor to the captain in this episode, but the people of the motherland still feel good about themselves and despise her strategy.

On the other hand, Storm also acts as a "peacemaker" for Starlight and her mother Donna (I suspect Donna was called by Storm).

On the surface, Gudao’s warm-hearted Storm wanted to ease the mother-daughter relationship, but in fact, Storm had discovered that Starlight had exposed Compound 5, and she wanted to take the opportunity to hint, threaten and even control this little girl.

As for the locomotive that was about to be swept out of the Super Seven, Feng Feng didn't intend to give him a good look, and there was a sense of provocation in his words.

You deserve to be "white supremacy".

Although the motherland gave the ultimatum early, the locomotive kept delaying and evading the blame, fantasizing that things would turn around, he even went to ask Ashley in a good voice (humbly), but only got two choices: either get together Dismiss, or wait for a scandal.

The disheartened locomotive finally accepted his fate, obediently preparing to slap his ass and leave - I wonder if Maeve or the "Spice Girls" will come to him for help in the future.

The people of the motherland came to the protest meeting carelessly, wanting to use their invincible charm and beautiful words to save the situation, but found that this group of people full of doubts and anger did not buy it...

What can be done then? It is impossible to admit mistakes, and I will never admit mistakes in my life. If you kill someone to vent your anger and dare not think about it, you can only leave the scene with a hahaha.

The people of the motherland knew that he had screwed up, but unfortunately it was difficult to recover, and he could only swallow the bitter fruit in remorse.

The storm is making an interesting phone call, it seems to be comforting the other party not to feel guilty...

This role is played by Sean Ashmore (Iceman in the "X-Men" series), and according to the cast information, he is playing the outgoing former Super Seven member "Lampman".

Through this background setting, everyone should have a rough guess about the "Sage Grove Center" , which is almost similar to a "labor camp", which specializes in the management of "problem" superheroes under the Walter Company . Lantern manslaughtered After being a teenager, he went in because of emotional breakdown, and the free girl met him inside.

When the people of the motherland came to ask for help, Feng Feng had already used his studio to reverse black and white in the public opinion field and make waves.

The storm that is well versed in the way of new media hype is very familiar with this (it must have been pondered over the years), and the crisis of the motherland is not difficult for her to handle.

That night, the storm also collided with Xingguang who sneaked into his house. After a short play, the two quickly entered the stage of shaking each other's black materials. After seeing the "viciousness" of Xingguang, the storm fell in love with her even more. Say bluntly "you will be useful to me".

Storm has close contacts with the "Sages Grove", and apparently maintains contact with many "problem heroes" who are retired, hidden in the snow, and whose freedom is restricted. Could it be that she wants to assemble a blackened version of "Avengers" to play a big ticket ?

The two women's whispers were interrupted by the natives who came to thank them. His approval rate rose by 5%, and he really owed the storm a favor... and the return that the storm wanted was a "passionate" .

With the current mentality and scheming shown by the two, the "old witch" storm is completely at hand for the "giant baby" motherland, and she has captured another fatal G-spot of the motherland: the desire to unleash force.

The people of the motherland have never encountered a person who is truly equal to him (specifically in terms of super power), which objectively aggravates his superiority and arrogance. However, after the storm that has just passed, the storm has made him look at him with admiration, especially the storm can still To endure his own nirvana, while screaming pain and cheering, how can this be tolerated? !

As a result, the two had a destructive and creative intimacy-as for who was eaten by whom, I believe everyone knew at a glance.

People of the motherland, if you don't grow up, you will give up the position of "top card" in every sense to others.

"Black Robe Picket" S2E4: People can only rely on themselves

The audience's evaluation of the second season of "Black Robe Picket" seems to be not as uniform as the first season, one of the reasons is that "the content is more and more complicated". After entering the weekly update mode, everyone will observe the things in each episode with a more detailed eye. At present, it is still attractive enough.

The tone of the fourth episode is actually more pessimistic. Whether it is Starlight and Huey, Butcher and Becca, or hysterical motherlanders, they are all accepting the concept of "everything is up to you".
