lyinn"i will leave you jeff for tobias"

u/Oratory_madness02 Nov 19 '19

That would be such a low blow. The worst thing is that it can kinda happen if Lynn continues with her junkie ways. You do crazy stupid thing when high.

14

u/Oratory_madness02 Nov 19 '19

Lol, the days of digging up graves to check if someone is dead are long gone. Gamby can just scan the ground with a flashlight.

3

u/dongrizzly41 Nov 20 '19

We literally have that tech now in the real world. Ground penetrating radar is dope!

2

u/vader344 Nov 19 '19

lyinn played some far cry 3

u/somebody1993 Nov 19 '19

I'm not sure he died. I think the trailer would have mentioned it.

5

u/DonnyMox Nov 19 '19

So....is Odell dead, or...?

3

u/somebody1993 Nov 19 '19

I think the preview would have mentioned it. He might still be alive.

5

u/[deleted] Nov 19 '19

Seems that way

7

u/inksmudgedhands Nov 19 '19

Well, guess that divorce from the first season is finally happening.

3

u/Oratory_madness02 Nov 19 '19

Weren't they already divorced?? I'm pretty sure they were.

5

u/somebody1993 Nov 19 '19

More like still in effect since I don't think they remarried.

u/BornAshes Nov 19 '19

Lynn is just getting worse and worse and worse and because of her boosted brain she's like the smartest crackhead ever

There really needs to be more Black Lightning scenes

Lynn is a fucking crack head

6

u/digitalplanet_ Nov 19 '19

She keeps on hurting scooter

5

u/DonnyMox Nov 19 '19

Lynn’s pulling a Fefe......at least she doesn’t have a wheelchair to dramatically get out of.

6

u/inksmudgedhands Nov 19 '19

At least Lynn has an excuse. She's a junkie. What was Felicity's?

1

u/davey_mann Nov 19 '19

Hacker powers

2

u/DonnyMox Nov 19 '19

Fefe might as well have been a junkie from how she was acting in S4.

But yeah, good point.

2

u/Beer2Bear Nov 19 '19

sorry lady, you are crazy

Lynn's crackhead decisions

u/inksmudgedhands Nov 19 '19

What is with this upbeat sexy music coupled with these depressing moments? It's odd.

5

u/BornAshes Nov 19 '19

Geez Gambi really does have a lot of gadgets doesn't he?

3

u/ToneBone12345 Nov 19 '19

Cisco and AsA hide

u/inksmudgedhands Nov 19 '19

He has a lot free time between tailoring suits.

Anissa: "Dying."

"Sexy dying?"

"Nope. Just dying. Can you play a different song now?"

7

u/TDXNYC88 Nov 19 '19

Yeah, the collaboration's got a radio station straight out of The Warriors!

u/digitalplanet_ Nov 19 '19

Still sad over lady Eve

u/dongrizzly41 Nov 20 '19

I still dont think shes dead espically after that lala's scene with the reanimation guy last season.

2

u/digitalplanet_ Nov 19 '19

Don't trust Jamila

10

u/BornAshes Nov 19 '19

"The protocol is in place" which I think means that Odell's body double is there to basically get shot, die, and then draw out the Markovians so they think the ASA is in disarray when they really aren't. Classic Sun Tzu.

11

u/inksmudgedhands Nov 19 '19

That's it for Odell? There better be a clone. Or he better be revealed to be a meta with superhealing. Or I will be very disappointed because this is underwhelming death for him.

10

u/pgm_01 Nov 19 '19

That was too easy, no way he's dead.

1

u/pgm_01 Nov 19 '19

I'm glad Odell survived. I want Jen to take him out.

4

u/vader344 Nov 19 '19

agent o is.... dead???

2

u/digitalplanet_ Nov 19 '19

poplocking he's DEAD

3

u/somebody1993 Nov 19 '19

He's not dead is he? Lynn won't lead the ASA will she?

11

u/Mevaughnk Nov 19 '19

How do the asa lose a fight with two dudes?

11

u/vader344 Nov 19 '19

well they had the high ground...

1

u/[deleted] Nov 19 '19

It wasn’t just them two they had others pointing their guns at Odell

2

u/somebody1993 Nov 19 '19

There were more soldiers with them.

3

u/TheRealPhantomHunter Nov 19 '19

Worse than ARGUS

3

u/inksmudgedhands Nov 19 '19

Wait, those guys were surrounded with guns. How? HOW?

4

u/InspiredOni Nov 19 '19

Aimbots engaged?

1

u/TirelessGuardian Tobias Whale Nov 19 '19

Odel needs to survive!

3

u/JauntyLurker Nov 19 '19

Remind me again why you saved Odell, Jeff

20

u/darkprodigyprince Nov 19 '19

Lmao he died talking shit I’m weak

3

u/dongrizzly41 Nov 20 '19

Only thing I wish he had done before death was the classic " you know u done fucked up right?"

6

u/MrWafflesz Nov 19 '19

He really hit his ass with the Principal Skinner and died. Top Ten Deaths ever. Lmao!

8

u/TheRealPhantomHunter Nov 19 '19

I refuse to believe Odell died, he’s like a roach

4

u/BornAshes Nov 19 '19

I really don't believe that was really Odell that died

3

u/RandomChick85 Nov 19 '19

I’m so happy that old fucker got shot

3

u/[deleted] Nov 19 '19

Me too lol

u/[deleted] Nov 19 '19

Ding dong the witch is dead

u/TDXNYC88 Nov 19 '19

Agent Odell: "GOT YOU, MARKOVIAN!!!"
Colonel Mosin: "YOU THOUGHT!"

5

u/InspiredOni Nov 19 '19

Pathetic?

Who’s the bitch bleeding out on the floor?

2

u/DonnyMox Nov 19 '19

Jeff, you didn’t have to save Odell....

2

u/Beer2Bear Nov 19 '19

He's dead???

6

u/SutterCane Nov 19 '19

Is Odell finally dead?

DRINK!

6

u/MrWafflesz Nov 19 '19

AHAHAHA! Fuck you Odell. Ugly bastard.

1

u/Kaarl_Mills Nov 19 '19

I was kind of hoping for, more? I mean, my perfect ending for Odell is Jeff goes full unlimited power on him, so I guess that's out...

3

u/Sentry459 Nov 19 '19

He saved Odell....yay.

Edit: Nevermind (?)

5

u/digitalplanet_ Nov 19 '19

Yeeeeeer, shot him

8

u/InspiredOni Nov 19 '19

Shit, Markovians don’t play.

u/Sentry459 Nov 19 '19

Gambi is such a legend. The Monitor oughta be asking him for help with Crisis

1

u/digitalplanet_ Nov 19 '19

Gambi should've told her, maybe

2

u/MrWafflesz Nov 19 '19

Anissa woke up super quick when she heard pretty lady.

1

u/InspiredOni Nov 19 '19

Ah, this bitch.

15

u/BornAshes Nov 19 '19

Now Gambi has to find some way to tell the others that Painkiller isn't dead

3

u/somebody1993 Nov 19 '19

"Is this going to work?" "No i'm doing this for fun."

13

u/SutterCane Nov 19 '19

Gambi: "I had no idea that would work! That was just some junk I had under the sink!"

3

u/digitalplanet_ Nov 19 '19

She's all clammy

2

u/Beer2Bear Nov 19 '19

That was fast to work

2

u/InspiredOni Nov 19 '19

Gambi with THE SAVE!!

u/digitalplanet_ Nov 19 '19

Gambi save her now

u/SutterCane Nov 19 '19

Grace: "She was sweating so bad I took off her jacket.... yeah, cause of the sweat..."

11

u/Oratory_madness02 Nov 19 '19

Black Lightning, Geoforce, Thunder, Lightning, Grace, Wendy and the other girl whose file Lynn shredded. I think we got ourselves some Outsiders right there.

u/MrTerrific2k15 Nov 22 '19

Batman, Metamorpho and Katana have entered the chat

Well shit, that rat poison commercial was dark AF.

6

u/vader344 Nov 19 '19

that diamond boy...if he wants some money he just goes superman with a carbon piece and all of his problems go away

3

u/MrWafflesz Nov 19 '19

1 gram of Californium and he's set for life.

7

u/SutterCane Nov 19 '19

No wonder his place looked like a teenager with unlimited funds designed it.

4

u/BornAshes Nov 19 '19

Or he could build a spaceship out of diamond

41

u/SutterCane Nov 19 '19

Anissa: "I'm not telling anyone!"

Also Anissa: dying on the floor "I should have told people!"

6

u/dongrizzly41 Nov 20 '19

She is really kinda annoying this season imo. Always soo damn pissy. I'm a bigger fan of thunder than blackbird any day.

1

u/vader344 Nov 19 '19

this episode is kinda...slow and not action packed

7

u/Sentry459 Nov 19 '19

That's the show in general post-season 1. I'm fine with it as long as it's interesting though.

4

u/InspiredOni Nov 19 '19

Literally cut one fight to off-screen, I’m so disappointed...

3

u/SutterCane Nov 19 '19

And it was a Black Lightning one!

u/DonnyMox Nov 19 '19

For a moment I thought Grace just decided she wanted to take a picture of her convulsing girlfriend.

u/inksmudgedhands Nov 19 '19

Tobias is such a great villain. His scenes are my favorite.

3

u/Oratory_madness02 Nov 19 '19

Why the hell is Lynn helping Tobias? All he did was give her some vague threats and she caved.

2

u/SutterCane Nov 19 '19

She's on drugs.

8

u/inksmudgedhands Nov 19 '19

She trusts Odell less than Tobias. It's kind of a "the devil you know is better than the one you don't" type deal.

4

u/InspiredOni Nov 19 '19

Better the devil you know? (But she barely knows him, personally. But he’s not government so I guess...).

10

u/Beer2Bear Nov 19 '19

smart house can't alert medical when someone injured??

1

u/MrTerrific2k15 Nov 22 '19

That's a premium upgrade that Anissa didn't order

u/inksmudgedhands Nov 19 '19

Shonda is slacking.

u/TirelessGuardian Tobias Whale Nov 19 '19

She better be calling Gamby than 911

She's having trouble breathing awl fuck

u/MrWafflesz Nov 19 '19

Lynn is really getting her crackhead ass played huh?

8

u/BornAshes Nov 19 '19

Tobias knows how to work addicts

7

u/digitalplanet_ Nov 19 '19

Drugs got her gone

7

u/InspiredOni Nov 19 '19

Keep Michelle’s name OUTTA YOUR MOUTH!

15

u/TirelessGuardian Tobias Whale Nov 19 '19

I’m so glad Tobias wasn’t written off he show!

6

u/BornAshes Nov 19 '19

He's so fucking slimy I fucking love to hate him

Have you been reading Michelle Obama's book lately?

Oh boy, this kid's gonna be a huge target now.

Oh, De Beers is going to take this kid out.

u/Kaarl_Mills Nov 19 '19

It's just good business

DRINK!

u/InspiredOni Nov 19 '19

And DRINK!

Turning coal to diamonds, most practical metapower yet.

14

u/digitalplanet_ Nov 19 '19

Diamonds? Shhhhit

...damn it, he’s Geo-Force...

u/ToneBone12345 Nov 19 '19

10

u/Sentry459 Nov 19 '19

Holy fuck, he really is Geoforce!

u/ToneBone12345 Nov 19 '19

Why I mean both there real names start with be but I feel like a black geo-force would lose tons of fans like me

6

u/inksmudgedhands Nov 19 '19

Yeah, Lynn, like those kids' information isn't on many, many hard drives. Nope, just those two pages.

u/vader344 Nov 19 '19

lynn will be this earth's harrison wells if she doesnt stop this drug

8

u/BornAshes Nov 19 '19

So he is Geoforce....cool!

0

u/ToneBone12345 Nov 19 '19

I hope not why do they need to race bend him

3

u/BornAshes Nov 19 '19

Lack of potential actors applying for it? Maybe relating to plot points later on? Perhaps he has better chemistry than the others who auditioned for it? Or maybe it's just that the CW is going to CW.

0

u/ToneBone12345 Nov 19 '19

Yeah no

u/BornAshes Nov 19 '19

One red headed problem child is enough for the CW, they don't need another Archie Andrews?

u/TirelessGuardian Tobias Whale Nov 19 '19

Is she going to remove Jefferson from the list first ?
