Like, I literally spend every episode waiting for her to come up, just so someone with some damn SENSE can handle some shit.
So I’m on season 3 and I’m a little confused, ep 1 Ed’s with Larry going to space and his bandages unwrapping with appearance back to what it was I took that as him finding harmony with the spirit but then next episode he is back in bandages ok maybe the appearence was in his head like we have seen before then they go into the nebula (think that’s what the wormhole thing is called) that he says it the spirits home and then suddenly Larry is back home without the spirit like he definitely left because there is mention from the others of him leaving so this wasn’t all a dream of his by the spirit like in the past so how did he get back to earth since it’s the spirit that keeps him alive and able to travel in space?
Its some weird Russian (?) Punk record, we only hear a bit before she stops listening to get angry at the puzzle.
Been following the show since it first aired. However I wasn't able to catch the last season as I began going through some major life changes. Don't wanna go into detail, but I'm able to relate a lot to the characters when it comes to being a fucked up mess.
Anyways. I just finished season and I couldn't stop crying for the final half of the last episode. I was just overjoyed for everyone finding their peace, love, themselves. If I had any one complaint, I wish the final episode included Dorothy because the last we saw her was after Immortus changed the world back to normal. I get the implication she already started her new life, but a quick minute cut showing her doing something would've been nice.
That aside, what a wonderful series throughout.
What happen with Jane and the other personas after she solve her puzzle in season 4 episode 11?
If Niles is the reason Mr Nobody is who he is now, then he wouldn’t be mad since he said he would have paid double it he knew what he became meaning he was happy with what he became so why would he hate Niles?
If Niles caused Mr Nobody to be who he is, why would he be mad since Mr Nobody said he would have payed double if he knew what he would become meaning he is happy with who he became

I'm selling a Rare DOOM PATROL S4, Cast/Crew Wrap Gift on Ebay, it's a Backpack / Foldable Chair / Cooler. Hope this can go to someone who loves the show
Edited to add: I just realized I added a note to my calendar event when I made it — I just wasn’t seeing it in the other app I was using. It says: “Season 4 ep 8 - woman in Cloverton during parade says June 5 is Doom Patrol Day” So there it is. Anyway thanks for the help!
(Original question) Just stopped by here to ask this — at some point last year I put a reminder about “Doom Patrol Day” in my calendar for June 5 but now I cannot recall why (other than I’m a big fan — just can’t remember if tomorrow’s date is significant in the series?)
Hi, was there a scene where a young Cyborg is shopping for action figures in a store? If Im mistaking it with another show please let me know.
For comparison
So by the end of the season, everything comes together, who Laura De Mille is, Rita's double who got her killed by the death laser, the weird face guy in the underworld, and how time travel did it all. Rita went back in time and had a new life in the bureau of normalcy. So many questions there alone like, did Niles Caulder never even interact with her there? Or he wasn't around at that point?
And it seems like every other oddball with oddball superpowers is immortal, yet Niles didn't show interest in them? Like fog lady or the guy with a bicycle fused to his back or the Japanese lady with indeterminate powers? You'd think he'd have studied them too instead of going out of his way to make cliff, jane, and larry happen. Fog lady seemed like the ideal situation out of all of them, immortality for his daughter and power side effect that's manageable.
Also how does future Rita locking past Rita in the room and ensuring her death guarantee her future of going back in time and meeting Malcolm and the gang? If anything it would be better if she got away no?
But what I wanted to ask is: so we find out what Laura did is betray her friends to the bureau of normalcy. So... how the fuck does that get her demoted and/or fired from said bureau? She did exactly what the bureau wanted, so what Niles's letter have to do with anything? If anything wouldn't Niles's letter implicate Niles as having a soft spot for "metahuman freaks" and sic the bureau of normalcy after him, not Laura? That part didn't make any sense. It makes sense for Niles to have disdain for Laura for betraying her friends, but it doesn't make any sense for her to lose her job because of... doing her job. If someone could explain that bit?
Even though it all came together at the end I still felt it was a little bit messy there. Still mostly liked the season but... yeah I feel like season 1 was best and 2 was a good follow-up. Timothy Dalton was missed, but Alan Tudyk was especially missed.
Just finished season 1. I might have missed it but the only question I have is was there any explanation of how the original doom patrol started aging? I was under the assumption that since Niles put them together and how it was revealed he was studying immortality at the end of the season, wouldn't they also be immortal like the new doom patrol? Or was it the drug that Niles' coworker (bad with names) injected them with that stopped their immortality? Or is it simply that Niles wasn't studying immortality at the time and these were normal people/mutants/supers with no immortality?
Seen a lot of "how the doom patrol never age?" questions but never this one
Just started Doom Patrol last night but I’ve read it’s got connections to Titans, which I wasn’t really interested in watching.
I’m not really used to shows connecting to other shows, that’s part of how I never got into the Arrowverse.
But if I need context or anything I can give titans a shot.
He sings this in the season four episode "Immortimas Patrol". Every other song in that episode seems to have an official version to listen to except for this one. The only mention I can even find of the song is a single YouTube video featuring the song that a fan put up.
I don't know what's wrong with me but I'm I the only one who finds him kinda hot in his costume only (bandages, glasses and robe) and his voice omg😝. Maybe it's just me but he makes me feel like "I want to fix him" sorta way. I think it's because he's kinda emo and just sarcastic and dramatic in a low key way. Like you can't guess what he's thinking.
I just got back into the second half of season 4 (didn’t know it had resumed, max didn’t even make it show in continue watching) and I am so quickly reminded of what a demoralizing idiot he is. I truly think they would have been better if it was just a robot.
Was Cliff also like this in comics?
When part one of Season 4 came out I watched it as the episodes were live but when part two came out a couple of months ago, I just couldn't get myself to watch it.
Why? Well see, when I started the show an year or two ago, I thought it would be just some lame super hero show cause it's DC after all, right? But boy was I wrong.
I loved this show. I loved the characters, loved the individual stories, the plot twists, the overarching plot, the way the individual stories would tie into the overarching plot. I loved the humor, the drama and the very serious topics the show touched upon. Loved the ridiculous way they win against most villains. Loved the character growth arcs (Dorothy's was my favorite). Loved the time travel cause who doesn't love time travel? Amazing actors? Check! Two of them aren't even showing their face in 90% of their scenes!
This show had everything I wanted and enjoy.
And I couldn't get myself to watch the last episodes cause then it would mean it's over. So I delayed and delayed. Until yesterday.
And just now I finished the last episode. Now, I wasn't expecting a happily ever after, it's Doom Patrol after all.
Dorothy's missing but okay.
Vic finds his purpose after being a confused lost young man for the first 2 seasons.
Jane accepting what happened to her was gut wrenching to watch. Glad she finds happiness and peace.
Even Niles got to have the satisfaction of helping Jane and we see him pondering whether to drink the memory wipe tonic.
Rita's ending was deserved, >!her funeral was very much inline with the show's nature. And yet her final scene in the afterlife, touching and fulfilling.!<
Larry had a fitting end too, being brave and taking his chance.
Cliff. Okay so he still has Parkinson's, guess longevity can't save him from that, that's okay he can live out his last days with his family. But then the crystal Immortus gave him ties in.
!And then Cliff powers off!< and the credits role.
I did not expect that at all. Overwhelmed with a flood of emotions and the tears just started rolling. Cliff was the starting point of the show, the first protagonist. And it was so fitting to have the show end with his story.
I wish every good long running show gave a proper last episode and proper endings to it's characters. This is how you do it!
Thank you to all the people involved in creating this masterpiece of a show. I know it's not super popular but it will go down as a cult classic in history.
Without getting too deep into it, the love Larry and Rita had for each other just reminded me of my wife and I quite a bit. Larry’s quote here especially hit me in the feels because I’ve felt this way about myself and how my wife feels for me and just loves me anyway.
Such a damn good show, with a pretty proper send off for its characters.
I just finished watching season 1 and I can't understand why Niles was trying to become immortal. I thought he already was? Can someone explain?
