Madness is like groceries – mysterious, seductive, typically uncooperative. and recommended by nine out of ten dentists.

Or at least confirmation for the Troll that Ethan is still alive and Lucas was bluffing

Doesn’t really change much I think?
The point of Lucas bluffing was to extract information out of him, not to make him believe that Ethan was actually dead forever.

But now Ethan is a valid target again, instead of the Troll having to start from scratch on someone else. He might have been cooling his heels in prison due to not having a target instead of not actually being able to escape somehow

Nothing confirms Ethan was involved if they haven’t spoken to each other yet. Lucas could’ve stopped him alone for all the Troll knows.

Hey at least he got some health care for his hip/leg.

For Elijah’s sake I hope he’s not easily swayed by a troll who knows where to press for a big reaction.

Getting rid of the Troll would probably be a public service in many people’s eyes, plus I suspect it might actually be cathartic for Elijah to off the Troll, especially if/when Troll pushes his buttons.

Nah this is more “Should Ra’s Al Ghul kill the Joker” (or insert other vaguely sympathetic villain)
(Though you might have read ‘Ethan’ instead of ‘Elijah’ there, which would be what you said)

I was more thinking in supplying Elijah with ideas how he can become a godlike speedster to achieve his goal, and press some buttons to make him more extreme than he already was. Then just let him loose on the world to watch the mayhem.

I mean we’ve seenni. The real world how easy it is for people with strong, albeit misplaced, convictions about right and wrong get turned into monsters by trolls

Whelp, that’s about to backfire.

On the plus side, though, it likely means Analog and D-Pad will be needed more than before. Analog’s already getting back in the swing of things and even helped bag a criminal, so we’ll likely keep inching closer to finally confirming the probable conclusion that he still has his respawn power.

To be fair, I’m pretty sure the result would be the same regardless of what super caught him.

Not necessarily. Because now Elijah specifically has reason to have a grudge on Analog/D-Pad. The troll can use the “enemy of thy enemy” angle on him.

If another super caught Elijah, he would likely land in the same prison but wouldn’t necessarily have strong feelings on Analog/D-Pad.

I feel like they should put ultra derange types like him at the very end of the hall.

Not quite sure what the Troll’s angle would be with Elijah. Unless it’s just someone to send after A+D, but it’s unclear why Elijah would bother listening to him. Well, other than being restrained and being unable to not listen to him.

Problems begin if Elijah tells the Troll what their secret identities are.

How about The Spinning Top? Since he can still run really fast but only on one of his two legs, thus turning in circles really fast.

While I’m truly horrified, this interaction is very interesting: Elijah is an activist with good intentions, while the Troll is a maniac that killed before. Will the Troll drag Elijah with him into bitterness and evil? Will Elijah reluctantly align with him, while been disgusted by his nonetheless? Or maybe The Troll will help Elijah understand that he gone bit far?

Please no. Two (or more) criminals meeting in jail and teaming up despite having no idealogical touching points is such a cliche these days.

In response to the attack in Colorado this weekend the only clear path is to require a full background checks, bans and licensing for anyone who wants alcoholic beverages or glass bottles. If only politicians would agree to these limits then everything will all be better.

Makes as much sense as for anything else.

Yeah, no, I don’t think those two would team up. The Troll is almost the antithesis of Ethan’s sense of justice
