Yes this was a cliffhanger but damn that was some intense sht. Just happy cuz that means we will have season 3.

This episode would be fine except that it is supposedly a season finale. Nothing plays well to up the tension into a proper cliffhanger. It was apparent to me that Dorothy has to be the solution to the Candlemaker. But Niles crying out Dorothy over and over at the end was too flat. This is the lowest rating I've given an ep of The Doom Patrol so far.

This brilliant show deserves a better average score than it gets on IMDB thanks to a few reviewers who didn't notice the global pandemic getting in the way of the season finale... As for those of you who just don't like this show, you have my sympathies...

The finale of the show was hurried due to the corona pandemic. Dont hold it against them im sure they'll make up for it next season

Even though there's more than one show's share of angst for a season in every episode of Doom Patrol, the characters have grown on us and the dark, zany weirdness is like no other show. But...this episode has the team totally wasting their time/angst for absolutely no reason/purpose whatsoever, for people who couldn't care less about them, which is distressing bc through all of their character development, it shows that none of them have learned anything at all. That's the saddest thing so far.

Sure, this was meant to be the penultimate episode of the season, so the fact that it feels like it cuts off mid-show due to a technical failure (you're expecting to hear 'this is a test of the emergency broadcasting system' it's that abrupt) could be attributed to this episode having been always intended as a depressing cliffhanger for the finale, but...no. Even as a standalone episode, it doesn't work, and it fails the series as a whole. Jane/Miranda's memories are the only saving grace of the entire episode. THE ONLY.

UGH. They should not have released this episode at ALL, when they realized their mistakes with the writing in the editing room/cutting process, and THEN the studio should have delayed release of the season until this episode and the finale could be shot.

An unsatisfying disservice to the show, and to the audience.

I guess I now know the feeling of the old cliffhanger serials of yesteryear, with the question of how the heroes will cope with the dastardly situation only to see the dreaded "to be continued" on screen. This was much easier knowing we only had to wait a week (or hit the next button for us latecomers who are binge watching the series), but due to the pandemic we have to wait. Arrghh!

While this is far from the best episode of the Patrol, that is like saying it is an average van Gogh in a special exhibition of van Goghs. The key element of the series, the characters, are advanced. The plot twists / reveals are unique. The humor is bizarre. The confrontations make sense. It makes you wonder what would happen if you were there. I still love the fact that everyone is not in lock step and they argue about what will be the next best thing to do.

And it all leads to the how will the writers get themselves out of this one. I think I have the way out to solve at least part of this, but that qualifies as fan theory. Not the best episode, but still far better than most of what is available.

With set ups made the previous season, season 2 of "Doom Patrol" is able to breathe more. Despite fewer episodes and a new character named Dorothy, the season is able to double down on the weirdness, and that is a good thing.

Pretty much nothing happened in this episode and it's the finale? I guess we get to see how useless they are against the big bad and the show ends on a very unfinished note. I thought it was about half over then it ended and that's really not what I have come to expect from this show.

After comparing to other dysfunctional Family Syfy from us, I'm not sure if that I really love this show or this episode. The entire series has intrigued me, but there have been so many twists and turns that don't seem to add to the story line that I can't say that I love this show any more

Jane has to be the most annoying character ever. Same with most of the cast. Not to mention that the whole cast feel cookie cutter. Yeah I shed no tears for the characters and any of what they went through. I just don't care at all
