JFK’s Doom Patrol Rewatch: Jane/Hair/Frances Patrol

So i decided i would group these three together because of their connection. Tl;dr, Frances patrol is the best, with Jane being a good second.

Starting with Jane patrol, i loved the original comic it was based from (Doom Patrol Vol. 2 #30) and i thought it was handled really well here. I liked Cliff appearing human and being able to touch, i liked the interpersonal work of the underground, and i like how cliff didn’t tell about what happened as it wasn't his story to tell. I’m not diving into the climax because i dont wanna put up trigger warnings, but i think it was almost as good as it was in the comics.

Hair patrol, while the weakest, is still a good story. I like how we learn more of who Niles is when backed up against the wall, i like the beard hunter, and i like Vic and Rita. Timothy Dalton is great as the chief, and he is really given the chance to act in this episode. Most of his work has just sitting and emoting or throwing up, so seeing him have to act physically is a treat. And as a fuzzy lady, i love seeing him attracted to Slava rather than be horrified. wheres my unethical scientist?

Beard Hunter in the comics would not work in the show, and i love how they change him to suit the medium. There might be a few light allusions to fat jokes, but i might be overthinking on that. I do love the image of this schluby guy running around to eat beard hair, even if i dont love the image of him eating said beard hair (Really? Right in front of my Salad?). The fact that he has such strength after his...little snack...is such a kick in the teeth.

This might be controversial, but i think Vic and Rita would be a good ship. idkw but the two have this vibe of slightly dysfunctional couple. don't get me wrong, i like Ronnie, but i think the writers should visit Vita sometime.

Frances patrol is better than Puppet or Therapy. Almost everyone has something really good going on. Larry reunites with John. Cliff sees his daughter again. Cyborg has some computer stuff. Dianne has that ‘fit. this episode is amazing. KEEG FINALLY COMMUNICATES WITH LARRY AAAAAAAAAAAAA!

the use of moon river is worth a separate post of its on. Paint me blue and call me Otis, it is one of the best needle drops of the series and this series has great needle drops.

the only real problems i have are with Rita not having as much to do this episode except being sassy, and the search for flex not having as much screen time. all in all, very solid episode though. this whole trilogy has something for everyone.
