Stanko's Stance

Season 1 Episode 6: Murn After Reading

• A Burn After Reading reference in the title. Nice Coen reference.
• Ohh…Harcourt knows too. Murn is not alone and Leota is fucked!
  • Ohh Harcourt knows because of the bomb explosion
  • Murn says that his people came to earth to try and survive…and Murn was the only one who descended from their powerful mission
    • Murn took over a body of a murderer. Murn (the alien) knows his thoughts…and knows that he took this random bad man’s freedom.
  • Economos knows too. But Waller doesn’t. That doesn’t bode well for Leota and her relationship…
• What is the cow?
• So Peacemaker is speaking a classroom of kids. Kind of funny visual and scene. I wonder how many of these lines were improved by Cena?
  • Oh…we get the origin story question…do we have to get a episode like this?
  • Flash is a douchebag and Wonder Woman eye-fucked him at one time.
• Are we supposed to remember this Indian man speaking to him? The hospital guy I guess? The janitor?
• So this cop who went to her judge uncle got the arrest warrant for Christopher Smith and Auggie Smith is out of prison.
• Auggie is going to try and kill his son and the cops are after him as well.
• The butterfly wrote a peace sign. Interesting…
• This Vigilante vs. Peacemaker argument of “yes or no” questions is stupid. Don’t like that at all.
  • Okay the movie questions bit I enjoy a bit. I like that.
• The police have arrived at Peacemaker’s house and he and Vigilante get out just in time…the cops are pretty stupid for now seeing what was happening on the roof.
• Ohhhh, what is this Diary that Leota put there? Completely forgot about that till now. And he has now idea it is there.
• Ohhhhh the butterfly is now going into Detective Sophie Song. She is now going to be one of them…but a good one? Or a bad one?? Do we not know?
• Eagly is just going after everyone. A bit of brutality.
• Ahh now we are seeing the Captain Locke that is menacing and evil.
• Vigilante’s phone password is Peacemaker’s birthday. Mehh
• Locke describing the McDonald’s mascot as the killer took me a while to get
• Sophie is acting all fucked up after the Butterfly took control of her. Weird indeed.
• So Peacemaker/Vigilante come clean about keeping their pet Butterfly. Murn is pissed. There is distrust happening all around.
• The Oriental word swap was funny. I liked that
• Economos has found the supply of the Amber Field and it is a ranch…and butterflies burrow so the ranch can be the face for everything
  • The butterflies have a “cash cow”…one main source that is supplying all the amber fuel or whatever is needed for the butterflies to survive
• Well now detective Sophie is being surrounded by butterflies in their own little ships…so things are getting spicy
• Auggie is holding a KKK meeting in his house
• We have a nice dichotomy of Sophie (the alien now) and Auggie suiting up or getting ready for whatever battle is coming
  • Sophie and the butterflies are taking over the police station. Not great bob. That seems very bad.
  • The good funny cop got caught…and the captain locke guy as well.
    • They are turning into monsters. All of them. The cops and the convicts.
      • Nice callback to the random line about how smiling is different on everyone’s face
  • Meanwhile we have White Dragon getting suited up and saluted like he is Hitler.
• Leota is venting to her girlfriend about her situation. There is a lot of understanding here.
  • They used to live in Gotham. Fun fact there.
• Harcourt is loosening up on Peacemaker. He is only an 85% piece of shit.
  • She called him by his first name…and she said hers. Emilia. Big deal mesa think!
• Can Peacemaker play the piano?
  • Well it would appear in this show that he can…but can John Cena? This is a question I would like to know.
  • Why do I feel like there was wood creaking behind Peacemaker when he was playing?
  • Oh so no he is releasing his stress and showing his inner emotion with music. This was a twist I was not expecting.
• Oh so this diary is now public knowledge because the possessed Locke is showing it on the news.
  • So now everyone in the world is going to be looking for him.
• Didn’t love this episode if I am being honest. Not everyone is a banger.
