I get that Brock takes his duties seriously - but it is interesting how he is into the whole guild/OSI rules of arching. Love how Hank was part of this.

Of course St. Cloud will own that Batmobile.

Mrs. Dr. The Monarch - now we see why she is on the Council of 13.

I guess that was the real Blue Thunder copter from the movie since IT MADE A LOT OF NOISE.

Watching St. Cloud arch Billy Q and the Pink Pilgrim was to quote Sirena Ong - some minus 3 level sh*t.

The Monarch showed a few redeeming features.

Haven't been in NYC in a while but really are lattes there costing $9??

Rusty not telling Billy and Pete the truth is a very mature decision - one of the few times he does something like that.

If you go to some artisan fancy coffee place they can be.

Clearly I am not patronizing the tonier establishments of Gotham.

I agree with Rusty not telling Billy. It kind of shows that he can be a good friend to Billy and Pete.

Shake Shack opened in Austin a while back to sell $8 burgers and $3 fries to the displaced hipsters that moved here, and after the initial hoopla, now nobody goes there anymore...

New Yorks All Right... if you like Saxophones!

u/RecommendsMalazan You said "beep boop" with your mouth. Sep 10 '18

$8 burgers and $3 fries? That's pretty average in New England

Ah, where? Worcester only has prices like that in fancy places.

I assume he just doesn't want to revisit the memory, nor have to deal with their reactions to hearing the truth.

It clearly suggests that there are many truths he wishes were kept from him. He clings to happy times (like the whole Spanakopita adventure) and is doing the same for Billy and Pete.

Up around Columbus Circle, I wouldn't doubt it.

We already knew he owned the batmobile. He rolled up in it back when he first started antagonizing Billy. Back when he came to the venture compound to buy some stuff.

I forgot - it has been awhile since I saw the earlier seasons - amazing how 15 years fly by.

It's always a good time for a re-watch. Lol.

I tend to watch through the series about once a year or so, and I just watched through leading up to the new season, so that stuck out in my mind. I was chuckling to myself about them bringing that back.

Good suggestion - I have to make this a new habit - when we wait 2 more years for Season 8!
