DCE-Hulu: Doom Patrol- 'Cult Patrol'

Another week and a sort-of acid trip Show returns.  Will they keep up the crazy (and/or good) work?

A strange family raises their strange kid (who's covered in markings) in Utah.  On his 18th Birthday, the Dad tries to save the kid from...something, but that doesn't end well.

At the Mansion, Cyborg is trying to unite the group in the search for the Chief.  They're interrupted by Not-Constantine to help save the World.

I don't use the moniker to insult the guy- he was literally used when Vertigo blocked the Character's use in DC proper and an analog was made.

They save the boy- for now- but he's the Cult of the Unwritten Book's key to destroying the World.

If they won't kill (and burn) him, they have to protect him.

Can they do a good job?  Okay, they obviously-can't.  Will they do a passable job (at times)?

To find out, watch the Show.  It's still Streaming on the DC Service.

A fun Episode, even if it does feel like a strange aside.  This is the 2nd Episode without Mr. Nobody (even in Narration) and without The Chief (outside of a flashback).  I guess if finding the latter and stopping the former is the Series Plot, I'll just have to get used to their absence.  Odd all the same.  Getting past that, this is a pretty good Episode.  It's a bit disjointed- like the last one- which is kind of a shame.  The group dynamic is the best part, so why do they keep splitting them off into smaller groups?  I'm sure that it is easier to write, but I wish they would scale it back.  That said, I like the crazy nature of this whole thing.  A weird Cult.  A weird group of assassins.  Weird Villains out of a Tim Burton Film.  They definitely embrace the crazy, even while trying to ground other parts of the Story.  It's a delicate balance, to be sure.  They're keeping those plates spinning though, so kudos.  Even without a 4th Wall-breaking villain, they still manage to find a crazy visual to keep me interested...

Next time, can they save the World on their second attempt?  Probably, but it still won't go smoothly.  See you then...
