DCE-Hulu: Doom Patrol- 'Season Finale'

It's the final adventure!  Considering what's going on behind the Scenes at DC, it could be the last ever!

For now, it is just the Season Finale.  Let's see how it all ends...
A big secret about The Chief is revealed (in both words and flashbacks).  I won't SPOIL it, of course, if you're actually reading this to just get a summary.
In said Flashbacks, they flesh out the relationship between him and others in the Series.  An actual Scene with Cyborg's Mother- you have one up on Justice League!
In the aftermath, the team breaks up, but a new kind of team is born.  It's no Brotherhood of Dada though.
Can one final adventure bring the team back together or has too much happened?

To find out, watch the Episode.  You can also watch the 1990 Swamp Thing Show...or not.  Weird.
A weird, if uneven Finale.  So, right off the bat, I'll make my peace- I don't like this turn with The Chief.  I don't know why every mentor character has to be corrupted by later stories like this.  It's Charles Xavier Syndrome.  He's not a great guy overall, so it's not like you need this twist to make him more complicated.  This does *vaguely* address the idea that nobody seems to be aging in the main group, but just barely.  Was it worth it?  To me, no.  Getting past that, the character moments afterwards are nice.  Everyone reacts in their own way- nice.  I will give them credit for not forgetting one Plot Thread, even if they have to explain why it comes back in a pretty META way.  Mr. Nobody is like Deadpool on steroids, sometimes!  The final Scenes are quite fun and crazy.  If there was more of this all the time with this kind of focus, I'd have had no issues along the way.  All in all, the Episode is a strong and strange send-off.  Now the Show waits in Season Limbo...although there are worse places to be.
Next time, it's...oh, right.  Well, I hope you enjoyed the insanity and we'll wait to find out if this is cancelled or not!
