So Dr. Phosphorus can choose whether or not his body parts are hot?  Even if his clothing is "him"- retardant, he can clearly touch things and people with no immediate harm (not sure if his radiation is dangerous as it once was in the comics, but there is precedent for him being able to control the burning aspect at a certain point.)

I will say that in a few of the scenes, Dr. Sartorius did closely resemble Alan Tudyk.

Speaking of the comics, if they hew to them in explaining Nina's origins, which I hope they do in next week's finale, they are quite different from The Bride's and Phosphorus's. Up to now, Nina really has been mostly useless, as well as a hindrance to The Bride, so I do expect there will be a large body of water in next week's episode.  (And since The Bride wants nothing to do with Eric, she really should stop defining herself in regard to him, and choose a name, which at least Nina would use.)

This was my least favorite episode so far.   One, there's a weird current of pervy-ness running through this show that icks me out.  From the unnecessary sex scene with the princess and Flagg Sr, to the unnecessary brothel subplot in this episode, to the guard at Throne's house reading the unnecessary porno mag.  Not one of those things advances the plot in any way.  It's just there to be there.  Also, why is the Bride now in underwear?  Again, completely unnecessary and just weird.

Two, Dr. Phosphorus had a pretty "meh" backstory.  So far, it's been the least interesting and the least original.  And why would he think it was a good idea to try and screw over not just an organized crime boss, but a hostile foreign government?  That was just dumb.  And then for him to murder Throne's children?  Yeah, not my favorite character.  

I'm assuming this ends on a cliffhanger since I don't think they can wrap everything up in one more episode.  Though I believe this has already been renewed for season 2, so bring on the cliff!

Yeah, and don't forget Eric's rapey-ness, which wasn't at all in the comics. That one actually bugs me the most, I think.

I forgot to post in this thread? Oh.

I reckon I like Dr. P without the sympathetic backstory. My introduction to the comic version was the time his powers got increased by Neron and he jumped Ted Knight (the original Starman).

Meh on this Clayface. I'll take the handsome Michael Jackson wannabe from Suicide Squad Isekaiover him.

This is more than just a gratuitous cameo; Dr. P was originally a Batman villain.
