We'll Keep the Red Flag Flying Here

(Shortened summary in the bottom of the review)

This episode does just enough to actually make me care again about the characters and actually wanting to see where the season is going now that we finally have real episode on our hands.

Its also nice to see Billy actually trying to make things right between him and Ryan, while also trying to save Ryan from losing his humanity.

I also gotta say, holy... how is it nice to have Jeffery Dean Morgan in the show, one of my favorite big time small screen actors!!!

(7/10) I really hope that they keep this going.

Shortened summary: 3rd EP does a good job at slowly redeeming this season for its atrocious first 2 EP´s in giving us this compelling episode that sees Billy trying to make things right between him & Ryan.

Season 4 has taken a downturn & this episode finally turned me off. I shan't be watching anymore. It feels like nagging.

There's just too much of an obvious political propagandised slant to the writing; without the fun.

Normal folk, working class folk, watch escapist TV not to feel the creepy contemporary stroke of political agenda. They watch to escape these things. Obviously all writing, all art, reflects reality but these days there is far too much art trying to affect... devoid of balance.

In season 4 It's just all too full-on. It's no longer fun. It's tiresome & not clever or inspiring in anyway. I feel like I'm being nagged.

This show should've ended a long time ago. Each character is a shell of its former self, mindlessly dragging along with no clear direction. The thin plot mirrors the writers desperation as they try to string along the weakest motives inserting any current day agenda they can to stay relevant, compensating for the lack of purpose of the characters, depriving them of any charm they once had.

Temp V was the last gimmick they clinged on to keep the story interesting. This season they have nothing, instead relying on cheap shock value scenes and pitiful rage bating storylines to keep audiences engaged.

I felt there was barely any progress to the story in these 3 episodes , must say im rather dissapointed after waiting for so long. Sure there are a couple of new interesting characters such as sister sage , will be interesting to see her development with Homalander. I cant help but to root for Homelander at this point , he is by far the most interesting character, Huey and his friends are just kind of annyoing and boring, especially MM I dont understand how he gets so much screentime like what the actual F?? And what in the world happened to Starlights face? Its unnerving to look at her now. Hoping for some better storytelling in the upcoming episodes , cause these ones felt like nothing but filler episodes. And can we ditch the Ryan/Homelander drama? Its so obvious where its leading , its a book ive read a 1000 times over now and its getting old , he goes from loving his dad and then to hate im in the next episode , just pick a team and stick with it.

Quite frankly, the strongest episode of this season. Could have been more crisp with the writing. The whole thing with Butcher is a bit more concerning as it is badly written. The Boys aren't doing any better from last season. I wish the plot develops more. It's quite hard to keep watching this season as it's just doing nothing to satisfy the initial seasons. The frenchie plot seems to be abruptly cut - the butcher plot is good, convincing - I wish soldier boy comes back, he was entertaining. I don't know how it did. The writing has dipped way more than the expectations. I am being way generous with the ratings, but, writing team. Please get it better. We need more of The Boys.
