    This episode was diabolical!

    Charecters are developing and evolving in a very good direction so far. The storyline is addicting and cast is also doing their job fantasticly. I mean what can be say more. Go and watch it, you will love it.

    The best episode so far...

    Homelander character is unbelievable full of mysteries and unpredictable responses, I liked to see him finally find a rival.

    Amazing

    Best episode of the three. The construction of the new "hero" promises a lot and this episode reminded us that nothing is black or white in "The boys". In my opinion it is the best series of the moment and I hope it continues like this, not caring about the "political correctness" at the time of writing the characters.

    Best Superhero Story on TV

    Pretty much sums up what superheroes would be like in real life. True to the comic series in attitude, with some minor plot and changes that don't effect The overall product.

    Kudos to everyone who made this show

    Possible. It's incredible. And also, great idea by Amazon to keep us waiting. That will get more people talking. It also will give us fans more time to digest the different storylines. I know binge watching is the new normal, but having some time in between episodes also makes me appreciate them more. Can't wait for the rest of the season.

    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Over the Hill with the Swords of a Thousand Men is the name of the 21st story arc in the original 72-issue comic book series and the 3 companion-piece 6-issue mini-series run of The Boys, and also the name of the 11th trade paperback collection (The Boys #60-65).
    • Goofs
      When apologising to Hughie for hitting him, Billy says "I lost me bottle a little bit when I popped you one."

      The idiom to "lose your bottle" means to lose nerve, or to become afraid. There are various things that Billy could have "lost" when angry, including his "rag" or his "head" - but his bottle would not be one of them.
    • Quotes

      Frenchie: [after he discover their boat is stolen] I thought you said this boat belongs to a friend.

      Billy Butcher: Well, a stranger is just a friend you ain't met yet.
