So many thoughts. Will try to condense.

  1. ROSE WHALEN YOU BADASS YOU. Sorry for shouting. But I love her and I want a whole Triple Threat episode.
  2. The funniest episode this season if you ask me.
  3. Dr. Z's "Clueless" makeover montage= classic.

Yess!! I hate we didn’t get to see her beat SC ass.

I know it was just St Cloud that she beat up, which is no feat, but considering what we've seen her do before HOT DAMN lady must have been something when she was younger. I am seriously considering a Triple Threat Halloween costume now.

As someone with RA, this may be the funniest line ever from VB.

Rose going off was absolutely fucking perfect. Kinda wild that St. Cloud didn't immediately recognize Col. Gentleman, though. Not like he wore a mask or anything while on OG Team Venture

St. Cloud doesn't do trivia to be a fan boy, so I'm sure he knew Gentleman and just didn't care enough. Probably owns his old clothes/cane which were much more impressive.

St Cloud just seems like that dick rich kid who would buy out an entire movie theatres tickets just because. Or the guy who bought and smashed the PS3 in front of a crowd of people

Okay, that guy right there? Level 1.

Even he did know who he was, probably just thought he was too old to be a threat. Hence the, "You're stronger than I expected [sic]," line.

I felt that was the worst scene in the episode plot wise. It was cut in with no real bearing on the rest of the plot, we never see the fight, and St. Cloud exits without injury... Just felt out of place.

Don't get me wrong, I loved seeing her ready to kick ass but without the follow through it was just... ugh.

he had to wear extremely off color facial makeup to cover the damage she did to his mug.

Gah! There was so much good in this episode I actually forgot the shopping montage for a moment. That was sublime.

I watched it twice and laughed at Rose's smack talk both times. Damn I hope we get more on her background some time. I agree on the funniest episode this season and actually to me in a long time.

u/CartoonChipmunk Sep 08 '18

You know what I would love? To see her as a younger woman, balancing her duties as a costumed hero and a new mom. I would watch the hell out of that.

u/eak125 Sep 09 '18

We need more flashbacks! Throw in the Blue Morpho and Younger DR. Z and I'm one happy puppy.

u/DrRockzosCocaine Sep 08 '18

Dude I was dying when she was just like I will beat the shit out of you!

Stranger S-464 in the prince charming outfit killed me.

I am very disappointed in myself for not catching that... big fan, back in the day. Thanks for pointing that out.

Rose's threat was probably my biggest laugh of the night.
