> [@gdave](#): > > That whole sequence is just so well done. At the end, they don’t freeze-frame, the dancers just have to hold their poses. And the camera lingers just a biiit too long, and they can’t _quite_ hold them. Including Eagly - they actually CGI animate him trembling a bit. It’s just great attention to detail. It’s _so_ subtle. I never even noticed it until I saw it pointed out in an article somewhere. Now I can’t stop watching it. ---

I hope that there will be a second season. I like the way the relationships between the characters have developed so far. I can see Peacemaker and Adebayo having a real friendship. I can also see Peacemaker as some sort of cautionary role model for Harcourt, since she is basically headed down his path… ---

> [@gdave](#): > > And the camera lingers just a biiit too long, Yeah, I love how awkward it is. The same joke was used to similar effect in one season’s opening credits for _Crazy Ex-Girlfriend_. Rebecca Bunch’s head pops through a banner, she says “blam”, and then she just stares at the camera for a teeny bit too long. Overall, this show is great. Wonderful mix of comedy, actual characters, suspense, action, etc. ---

I freakin’ _love_ that Eagly checks his mark and adjusts during the intro. That’s the sign of a true professional. This show is good evidence that any character could flourish with the right production team behind it. ---

If they are doing the trope of ‘our protagonists have been manipulated to find themselves on the wrong side of things’ AGAIN…Im going to be disappointed. Its been so many times recently. ---

I’m kind of hoping that there is no “wrong” side to the butterflies. That is, sure there are clearly factions in the butterfly society, but just because Butterfly A hates Butterfly B, that doesn’t mean Butterfly A has humanity’s best interests at heart. It’d be cool if it turned out that none of the Butterflies actually gave a crap about humanity at all, we were just in the way, and occasionally useful, but ultimately irrelevant to any of their plans. ---

By the way, the voice actor for Eagly is the guy who did Perry the Platypus. ---

Really enjoyed this episode. John Cena sadly playing the piano at the end was… surprisingly moving. Also glad to see more Rizwan Manji, who I think has fantastic comedic timing. The inevitable clash of Our Heroes vs. Nazis vs. Aliens is going to be interesting. I’m not really expecting it, but I hope to hell they don’t try to redeem or normalize the Nazis by making them heroic (or anti-heroic) alien killers. ---

> [@Johnny\_Bravo](#): > > Really enjoyed this episode. John Cena sadly playing the piano at the end was… surprisingly moving. Yeah, for a guy who’s 85% a piece of shit, they’re actually making his position kind of understandable. I also liked the scene when he found out the team leader is a butterfly. He has a point: They all think he’s the asshole, but they’re the ones keeping all these mission-critical secrets, and then blaming him when this contributes to his screw-ups. ---

I wondered about that. Usually when you can’t see clearly whether an actor is playing, then it’s faked. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/peacemaker-series/957829.md?page=2) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/peacemaker-series/957829.md?page=4)
