Doom
Patrol S2E1 “Fun Size Patrol”
I
learned from my review of Doom Patrol during the first season that
this is not the type of show you can cover in one post. I am going to
cover each episode for this season so I don't sound like a lunatic
talking about farting donkeys and such. So yeah. This episode starts
when they escaped the roaches' body from another dimension after it
was making out with a large rodent and are stuck being tiny. The team
saved the Chief's daughter Dorothy. Larry makes them very tiny
breakfast which made me laugh. The team is still pissed off at Chief
for revealing that he is the reason they all had accidents that gave
them their powers because he is obsessed with immortality. Larry is
also trying to make a formula to turn the team back to normal size.
Cliff
spends his time racing around on a track and punching rodents in the
house. There is also a nice scene with Cliff and Jane talking shit
about Chief and wondering what he fucked to create Dorothy. Rita is
trying her best to control her abilities. Cyborg is miserable and
having flashbacks of beating his father. Jane is staying high as hell
which is making the Underground look dull and nothing is being taken
care of. Dorothy runs around trying to be friends with everyone not
realizing how mad they are and how much they hate her father. See,
Chief ended up getting that cave woman pregnant and having Dorothy
and he has been protecting her. Sort of. Because one flashback shows
that he wasn't exactly always there for her.
Dorothy
was kept in a cage in a circus as an ape-girl where people threw shit
at her. She was also known for being able to make that giant moose
wolf creature appear and dance for the people. One day a voice tells
her to make a wish as a candle appears in her hand. She blows out the
candle and there is a massacre! Everyone is dead except for Chief who
is in the crowd looking shook. She can bring her imaginary friends to
life as well. Larry outside with his negative energy being lets it
fly around every day. One day it stops short and dives back into him
and shows him an example of him being a shitty father to his son. He
later sees his son as an old man now still upset he never made his
father happy with a table full of pills and a gun.
Chief
calls forth Willoughby Kipling (he is a wizard I didn't mention from
last season) and wants to make a deal with him to protect Dorothy. He
wants to sacrifice his own immortality to to ensure her safety. One
day Chief realizes Dorothy is missing and the team set out to find
her. Cliff and Jane find her with the rat that Cliff was punching. It
is having babies. Dorothy wonders what will happen to the tiny baby
rat and suddenly the mother eats it! Dorothy freaks out and her
imaginary friends which include a massive spider come out of a
tunnel.
The team end up returning to normal size thanks to a
sacrifice made by the Chief. They don't forgive his ass though. And
Dorothy still has that one voice that is sounding evil as hell. This
episode was really cool and I am glad that it hasn't lost a step
after the first season. I like the addition of Dorothy because she
brings another level of emotion and complexity. Cyborg ends up
leaving which sucks. Hopefully he returns. Rita is getting better at
using her ability. And I have a feeling that Jane is gonna fucking
snap. And Danny is a brick.
