I could see it making sense if it was something with a monthly subscription, but doesn't everyone just buy Prime yearly?

I think I prefer it a bit to the first run. Seems less encumbered by origins.
But the incompetence of the main guys is still irritating.

I really don’t care about any of the romances or the Seven politics. There’s no plot.

Really?
Stormfront competing with Gustavo Fring to take over the world with an army of ubermecnsch is not a plot?
It has issues but I hate the angsty bits less this season than last. I don't even hate the bits with Ryan as much I assumed I would.
Could do with fewer Deep scenes though.
It definitely seems more confident that it doesn't need to waste my time with slow motion death sequences. Which is nice.

Episode 5 was great!

I would have expected Homelander to be a little more freaked out at finding someone who was a match for him. Maybe it was a fear boner.

Nah. Finding someone that can potentially kick your ass is hot for some people.
Not that I'm speaking from experience or anything.

Tuned in, immediately get to watch cringey Ubisoft talking head offering her deepest sympathies to the families impacted by the Orlando shooting while flanked by a man in a giraffe suit and some sort of "horrifically garish neon costumes through the ages" exhibit or something.

Both Stormfront and Homelander were completely lost in that scene so it isn't them doing it.

Not homelander certainly, but Stormfront could be behind it. More likely Gustavo Fring. It could be the scientologists I guess given that the exploding heads lady was last seen on the loose, but I'm thinking they are a season 3 set up.
Edit : it has been pointed out to me that shockwave getting got might be a clue that it is the scientologists. As there is a natural space for A train back in the 7, though that could still be S3 set up.

Homelander and Stormfront not being targets has to be a clue. Wouldn't they be targets #1 and 2 for pretty much everyone out there? Maybe not the Scientology clones, but pretty much anyone else would start with them.
Liberty didn't seem to have Stormfront's powers (she did not fry the traffic stop guy). My guess is that her involvement in the experiments was about copying the powers of other Supers and adding them to hers. If so, she has a copy of the powers of the telekinetic Sup that escaped and used it without anyone knowing she had the power.

The only reason they know its liberty is because someone literally recognized her face. She did not fry the traffic stop guy because she wanted to beat him.

There is no evidence of Liberty having electric powers, and usually someone with electric powers has something about their costume or name that evokes electricity. That is the basis for my belief she didn't have the powers then, but does now. I could be wrong - I'm not basing the theory on much. But we'll see. |

Please tell me there are more episodes, because last night's kept me interested for every minute. Wheels within wheels well and truly.

I think there will be flashbacks and maybe an episode set in the past - but the majority of it will continue the present day story. It isn't going to be a true prequel. |

Watching Season 2 is like reading a fanfic of the Boys season 1. A lot of "and than" storytelling.

I found season 2 far better than 1.
There was an actual story rather than a sequence of bad special effects shots.
I didn't care if there was a season 2. Wheras now a kind of hope thee is a season 3.

You know, I read that and didn't even process what he was trying to say. I thought he was trying to say that it was a boring/cliche ("vanilla") plot device and was just phrasing it extremely awkwardly because he'd recently suffered some head trauma. The reality is WAY funnier though.  |

What are you imagining her escape to have been?
The kid grew up believing he was in a normal neighborhood. So we're talking about maybe something like a wall and some guards hidden away. Cameras, too, obviously. But this was not Supermax.
She showed a cigarette and lighter to a camera in the fourth episode and just drove off. Butcher was able to sneak in with no trouble and with no knowledge of the situation while she spent years seeing the defenses in place.
Not exactly Fort Knox, especially when the real prisoner was the kid.
