Kinda the first time they got to actually show why he's so terrifying, during that chase? So far it was mostly what he could do and nobody being able to stop his smaller scale cruelties.

Finally, Frechny + Kimiko been waiting for this ever since they met. I hope they get a happily ever after.
Kimiko at the end...yes, f**ing yes, perfect.

Kimiko's sidestory overall should've had a proper ending.
Frenchy turning himself in, ok until that point everything was ok. But then he just gets released (involuntarily) and the story continues....don't think the writers thought that sidestory completely through.

Connecting it to Gen V was the right decision imho and good delivery. Although I watched it I honestly can't remember how all the characters ended up...guess blondy and brother ended up on Vought's side - gotta give this one another watch before season 5.

Up until last episode Starlight had only one good moment in the entire season, when she punched the crap out of Firecracker.
She ended on a high, with freeing herself, ending the shapeshifter and with Hughie. Good ending for her.

Butcher's character development is just awesome. You rarely see a character being an a**h*** like him these days. Love what they are doing with him.

Hughie's side story with his dad...wish they hadn't done the V thing. It's basically Hughie's fault that those people in the hospital died - wasn't necessary, especially since it had apparently no repercussions whatsoever.
Could've given him a "normal" death just as well.

MM was unfortunately useless in this season...could've worked without him just as well. Should have given him a better sidestory or something.

Victoria Neumann also great character, didn't want her to die tbh...

Sage was a huge disappointment, it started of good, but then she just disappears for an entire episode, shows up at the end and, oh all good.
They should have had her explain her whole masterplan to Homelander after she told him it all worked out well....I know that's a lame trope, but it works, at least better than what we have seen here.

I don't get why Homelander doesn't just kill all the politicians and declares himself a dictator or something. Now he has another puppet he doesn't directly control himself.

full episode to itself. Too much cutting to other plotlines. Needed to knuckle down and revel in the terror of the scientists inevitable demise....
