Awesome / Doom Patrol (2019)

Go To

     Puppet Patrol 
  • Jane and Cliff taking on von Fuchs's army is gloriously awesome. Especially when Silver Tongue gets involved, and starts carving up the Nazis with her weaponized words.

     Cult Patrol 
  • Vic and Kipling defending the house from the assassins from Nurnheim, who explode into letters upon being struck. Especially the great moment between the two preceeding the fight.
    Cyborg: (activates hand cannon, looks at Kipling) Science.
    Kipling: (nods and pulls out a flaming sword) Magic.
  • When Kipling tries to kill Elliot in a moment of desperation, Rita spontaneously develops her stretching powers to slam him against a wall.

     Jane Patrol 
  • Jane finally facing down the gigantic monster of her abusive father, screaming at him that she’s not afraid of him anymore and causing him to disintegrate. What makes it especially awesome is that what prompts her to do this is simple empathy: he’s just torn Cliff in half (which hasn’t actually killed Cliff but is still cruel) and her anger at her friend being mutilated overcomes her terror of her father.

     Penultimate Patrol 
  • Cliff’s Rousing Speech, breaking up the others arguing and recounting Mr. Nobody destroying Cloverton, the Decreator and being attacked by the previous Doom Patrol members at the retirement house, which they all manage to pull through before Flex Mentallo sent them to the White Space (after the second try).
    Cliff: Yeah, our win-loss record is shit. We're not making the playoffs. Who gives a shit? We're past that. We've fought and clawed our way through a ton of fuck ups, and now we're here, knocking on the door to save Niles. We have to go in. And we're going in together. (Cliff and the others hold hands) Let's do this!
  • Mr. Nobody expects a big fight, and yet Dr. Harrison appears, and calmly takes him apart piece by piece of why he had become who he was.
  • After an entire season of Mr. Nobody literally controlling the narrative, Rita manages to completely undermine it by narrating her own story and reuniting with the rest of the patrol in the White Space.

     Possibilities Patrol 
  • Realizing that the Candlemaker will never leave her alone, Dorothy finally takes the metaphorical gloves off and shoots an arrow at his chest... then teleports to catch the arrow before it hits him. While he's registering that, she teleports them both to a barren moonscape and tells him calmly but forcefully that she is sick and tired of all this "destiny" bother and that if he does not cut it out and stop hurting everyone, she will leave them both there forever. The scene then cuts back to the fair, where all the Candlemaker's damage is undone and the Candlemaker emerges from the ground to politely set Dorothy back down before disappearing again.
  • After spending much of the episode wallowing in their own feelings, the team manages to come together quickly to stop Daddy from killing Jane. Meanwhile, the entire Underground, after all their squabbling and feuding, comes together to push Jane back to the Surface so that she can regain control.
