Derek and Chris return to chat about this weeks drop of VisionQuest Episodes 3 and 4 Reboot and Malware. Make sure you have seen both episodes before you listen along to our spoiler filled chat about them.

VisionQuest Episode 3 Reboot and Episode 4 Malware Synopsis

Vision Character Created by Roy Thomas and artist John Buscema

Creator and Showrunner: Terry Matalas

Episode 3 and 4 Directed by: Gandja Monteiro

Episode 3 Written by: Cindy Appel

Episode 4 Written by: Michael Taylor

Episode 3 - "Reboot"

Vision and Tommy go on the run after their escape from the Paladin's attack. The Adamantium bullets used on Vision begin to shut down his body until he uses battery acid to halt his permanent death.

Inside his neural network, the team of FRIDAY, U, DUM-E and EDITH realise they need to do a full Reboot to fully fix Vision. 

Meanwhile Ultron discovers that a serial killer called Butcherbird is leaving etched wings at the crime scene of their victims. When Paladin accidentally tracks the killer down he reveals it's an android on a murder mission. After he escapes, Paladin's client cancels their contract with him. 

While hiding out in a hotel, Vision convinces Tommy to overcome his fear of water and use his speed powers to restart Vision's broken body. But the reboot attracts the robots attention and the "Butcherbird" begins attacking VISION's mind space.

In Episode 4 - "Malware"

The Butcherbird Killer possesses Vision and threatens to harm Tommy if he interferes in her plan, but E.D.I.T.H. manages to expel the invading programme from his mainframe. 

Vision, Tommy, and the AIs investigate the killer and discover that her victims were all board members of Markridge Biotech, whose founders developed the first stable synthetic consciousness, the precursor to their Artificial Intelligence. The Butcherbird Killer has collected biomarkers from her victims including blood, fingerprints and an eyeball. The only surviving founder of the company is Katerina Wells. 

With Lisa's help, Vision and Tommy infiltrate a gala hosted by Katerina Wells, where Vision tells Tommy about the ancient prototype J.I.M., an unstable synthetic man whose emotions caused him to combust. 

Tommy realises Vision has kept Ultron's existence secret and storms away from the party. The Butcherbird Killer attacks the gala and reveals herself as Jocasta, a synthezoid based on Markridge co-founder Dr. Josephine "Jo" Carrington.

Unable to defeat her, Vision allows Ultron to take control. But Ultron manipulates Jocasta into killing Katerina Wells, preventing the synthezoid from obtaining the final biomarker. Ultron then betrays Vision and locks him and the other AIs out of their systems, and leaves the gala with Tommy in tow.

Vision Character Created by Roy Thomas and artist John Buscema

Creator and Showrunner: Terry Matalas

Episode 1 and 2 Written by: Terry Matalas

Episode 1 and 2 Directed by: Christopher J. Byrne

Episode 1 - No Strings

Years after the events in Westview, the original but rebooted Vision has returned to Edinburgh in Scotland.

He works in a local pub, attempting to learn how to interact with humans the way his former self did. In his down time, he lives in a virtual space where he is aided by a new family, all of Stark Industries former A.I. helpers, JARVIS, FRIDAY, U, DUM-E and EDITH. But in the attic of their virtual home he keeps his megalomaniacal father Ultron.

Ultron learns that someone has put a hit on Vision and, bored with his mediocre existence, Ultron leaks the location to the bounty hunter Paladin. 

But, unable to kill Vision on his first attempt, Paladin and his handler access the SWORD files relating to the Westview incident. They learn about a boy called Thomas Sheppard who claims to be the son of Wanda Maximoff and Vision.

Paladin kidnaps the impossible boy and threatens to kill him if Vision doesn't turn himself in.

In episode 2 - Theseus

A year ago, Thomas Sheppard was arrested after an incident to police in London. He has memories that can't exist of a time when he was the son of a witch and a robot. But, unable or unwilling to help him they send him to a St. Mabyn's Sanatorium.

On the transfer bus to the heavily guarded facility, Tommy meets kleptomaniac Lisa, The two quickly hit it off and, working together, they escape the bus and their fate.

In the present day, Paladin lays a trap for Vision by placing the kidnapped Tommy in the same prison hospital and inviting him to save his son.

Spurred on by Ultron and over confidence in his vibranium body, Vision walks into the trap taking out Paladin's mercenaries and saving Tommy.

Despite Paladin being prepared with Adamantium bullets, Vision just about escapes with his life. But the damage caused by the bullets almost leads to his death until JARVIS offers up his life to save the other A.I.s. 

With questions still needing to be answered, Tommy returns with a car to escape with Vision and his passenger Ultron.

We have reached the end and John returns to chat with Derek all about Lanterns Episode 8 Dirt and Stars in our spoiler filled podcast on the finale.

Lanterns Episode 8 Dirt and Stars Synopsis

Episode Written by: Chris Mundy, Tom King and Damon Lindeloff

Episode Directed By: Alik Sakharov

In 2016, in the aftermath of the destruction of Rushville, Kerry Kane rushes to make sure Hal Jordan is safe in the debris of the motel. Ten years later, in 2026 Kerry is waiting for Hal as he is released from prison, and despite the town’s hostility, the two begin a relationship. 

Hal gradually rebuilds his life and tries to make amends for the destruction he caused, but his fragile second chance is shattered when his home is firebombed. Noah, Kerry’s son, secretly saves Hal using his extraordinary abilities.

Meanwhile, back in the alien world, John Stewart discovers the truth about Noah from Sinestro, that Noah is a Manhunter, created through Zoe’s experiments and struggling against his own programming. 

Sinestro reveals that Noah freed him from captivity and commissioned him to create a powerful Lantern fuelled by fear. John takes the Lantern but is warned that using it could have consequences.

When John confronts Noah, the teenager admits that he killed Hal, apparently to prevent him from revealing his secret to his mum, Kerry. Noah then reveals the terrifying conflict inside him: part of him wants a normal human life, while his Manhunter programming urges him towards power and destruction. Terrified of what he might become, Noah removes John’s ring and asks him to kill him after his final game as Quarterback for his team, the Pioneers.

At the football match, John watches the game with Kerry, where finally the real truth is revealed. Hal, after being saved by Noah, understood his true identity and urged Kerry to flee with her son. Terrified of losing Noah and believing Hal would expose him, Kerry shoots Hal in the head. John chooses not to turn Kerry in, believing Hal would have wanted Noah protected.

With Noah choosing to continue his normal life, John makes his own decision. He summons Guy Gardner and declares that he will protect Earth independently of the Guardians and the Green Lantern Corps. He says to Guy “You take the stars, I’ll take the dirt.” After one final conversation with Hal’s holographic imprint, John embraces the fear he has spent fighting and creates his own Lantern oath. He returns to his family, charges his ring and finally takes flight and becoming Earth’s Green Lantern on his own terms.

Chris joins Derek this week to chat all about the penultimate episode of Lanterns Episode 7 The Jordan Boys' Legacy an intimate and galaxy spanning episode that we discuss in full spoiler filled detail.

Lanterns Episode 7 The Jordan Boys' Legacy Synopsis

Episode Written by: Tom King and Damon Lindeloff

Episode Directed By: Alik Sakharov

In 1975, a young Hal Jordan is punished by his baseball coach for not being a team player. This sets up the habit of a lifetime as Hal won't give up the game ball to the kid chosen to replace him. His father, Martin, is proud of Hal and gives him a key to a "family fail-safe" shortly before he died in a plane crash. 

In 2026, the Hal-o-gram refuses to cooperate with John Stewart to help solve the suspected murder of Hal Jordan and forces him to meet with Sheriff Kerry Kane to verify his claims. 

Afterwards, the Hal-o-gram suspects foul play from Kerry and insists John check out Hal's storage without her. 

Upon opening Hal's vault, they find a portal that leads to another planet, which John recognises as Antaan's home world. 

They travel toward an island in the middle of a lake, but John experiences a hallucination created by remnants of a fear-inducing gas within the rain clouds. As visions of his father and his younger self accuse him of being afraid, John points a gun at his own head.

The Hal-o-gram saves John by pushing him into the water. He tells John the story about Hal Jordan's family fail-safe and that both his father and grandfather took their own lives. This is Hal's family legacy, leading John to suspect Hal may have killed himself.

Arriving at the island, John and the Hal-o-gram enter a structure at the centre and overpower Sinestro who tries to attack them to escape the planet.

For an explosive episode we have Chris back to join Derek and John to discuss Lanterns Episode 5 "Lights Out" in full spoiler filled detail.

Lanterns Episode 5 “Lights Out” Synopsis

Episode Written by: Justin Britt-Gibson

Episode Directed By: Geeta Vasant Patel

Kerry Kane arrived in Rushville in 2007 chased by criminals from Gotham looking to kill her for father's crimes. Faced with an impossible situation, she is saved by Zoe who steps in to snap neck take a pinky and make a deal that some day Kerry will have to stand up and defend Zoe in a similar way.

Back in 2016, John Stewart is unable to get out of his rental car that Hal Jordan crashed into a pole. Zoe finds John but as the car explodes she lets him burn up inside. In hospital, Zoe uses her technology to repair John's burnt skin and makes a similar deal with him, as she did with Kerry, that in return for her help she will need his protection.

Meanwhile Hal meets with Antaan and his group. He tells them William Macon is the Manhunter they are searching for, while he goes after the real Manhunter, Zoe. Antaan's aliens destroy the Macon compound and Antaan faces off with Macon testing him with his alien language and their previous relationship to see if he is actually the Manhunter. Eventually, his resignation of being captured betrays Macon and Antaan removes his heart to confirm he's just a regular human and not his former partner Zoe. He manages to track her down and goes into self destruct mode but Hal uses his lantern ring to contain Antaan's explosive power killing him.

After recovering from his burns, John gets the drop on Hal at his hotel. The two fight until Hal is beaten and broken, but the motel is destroyed by the satellite lasers. Hal protects them both with the ring but John escapes from the rubble only to leave Hal as bait to draw out Zoe and takes her out with a sniper shot to the head.

John takes the crystalline heart of the Manhunter, the lantern and Hal's Green Lantern ring to the Guardian Lianna. She expects him to take over Hal's role but John tells her that it just made him feel empty and leaves them all behind.

Derek and John chat all about the very twisty Lanterns Episode 4 "The Weenie" in full spoiler filled detail. Do we know who the Manhunter is or just get even more candidates for the list?

Lanterns Episode 4 “The Weenie” Synopsis

Episode Written by: Breannah Gibson

Episode Directed By: Geeta Vasant Patel

In 2016, Sinestro gives Hal Jordan information about the Manhunters physiology and also suggests delivering the Manhunter to the Guardians to undermine John Stewart, proving he is unfit to replace him as Earth's Green Lantern. 

Meanwhile back on Earth, as John and Hal continue to hang around Rushville, John is visited by the Guardian, Lianna, at his motel room who tells him the time in now right for him to replace Hal and urges him to take the ring. 

With the Alien Antaan's, 48 hour deadline to identify the Manhunter rapidly approaching, Hal and John's stakeout of the Macon ranch identifies a hidden structure or "Weenie" being guarded by several lookout towers. Suspecting William's benefactor is at his ranch, Hal and John infiltrate the property, after looping in Sheriff Kerry Kane, and discover an armoury of high-tech weapons. After triggering an alarm they are captured and brought in front of William Macon. John is asked to draw William in the nude, while his wife, Zoe is present. During this unusual capture, William reveals quite a lot to Hal and John and also tells them he is protecting the benefactor's identity in exchange for ensuring Rushville's safety. Half and John are saved by the intervention of Sheriff Kane who takes them into custody.

Later, Zoe secretly visits John at his motel room to convince him to leave town but fails and in so doing also reveals a lot more as she extends her stay with John in his room. Leaving the motel with a bounce in her step, Zoe's truck is destroyed by an orbital strike and she apparently dies. 

Hal and John, with the help from Kerry Kane who has been gathering evidence from her husband's files, traces the attack to Atlas, Inc. A company involved in high-tech abattoirs and owned by Hector Hammond. When Hal pushes his bluff he owns up to being a decoy and identifies William as the real Manhunter. 

However, Hal later deduces that Zoe is the Manhunter and that John already knew it. After he gets John to call Antaan to arrange a meeting, Hal jumps from their car and causes it to crash, leaving John inside.

John and Derek are back to discuss a different kind of origin story in Lanterns Episode 3 "OutKast" in full spoiler filled detail.

Lanterns Episode 3 “OutKast” Synopsis

Episode Written by: Vanessa Baden

Episode Directed By: Steven Williams

In the past, John's father, John Sr., fails a test to become a Green Lantern, leaving him traumatised. Later, Lianna, a member of the Guardians of the Universe, visits John's mother, Bernadette, and offers the family recompense by giving John a chance to join the Green Lantern Corps in the future. When John is 5 years old, his parents train him to be fearless. Years later, John joins the United States Marine Corps and is assigned an assassination mission, but Hal's intervention causes it to fail. John is dishonourably discharged, and Bernadette enrols him in art school so he can pursue his passion. In 2016, a Guardians recruiter approaches John, who successfully passes his test. He is sent to the next stage of the interview.

Welcome back fellow guardians, this week Derek and John are joined by Chris to chat all about Lanterns Episode 2 "Trust Fall" as Hal and John go on separate journeys in 2016.

Lanterns Episode 2 “Trust Fall” Synopsis

Episode Written by: Vanessa Baden and Chris Mundy

Episode Directed By: James Hawes

Back in Rushville in 2016, Hal tries to give John Stewart his first flying lesson. But when John creates an actual bird and drains the Power Ring, Hal tasks him to go to Coast City to retrieve his charging lantern and keeping the created bird alive throughout the trip.

While John is on his journey, Hal continues his investigation into the alien shoot-out in Rushville. Using the bodies of the dead aliens, he learns that William Macon had set up alien detectors at the football stadium. Hal tries to force William to reveal his boss but a warning shot from his army sends Hal to the mysteriously empty medical centre to heal his wounds.

Meanwhile, in Coast City, John retrieves the Lantern from Hal's mansion and feeds his carnivorous plant, Earl. As soon as he leaves he's ambushed and kidnapped by aliens who are convinced a shape-shifting being called a Manhunter is in Rushville. If John doesn't find the Manhunter they will blow themselves up destroying most of Nebraska.

John returns to town and asks Hal for information on the Manhunters. But Hal tells him it's above his pay grade. When John leaves Hal puts on his Green Lantern suit and flies to a prison planet where he confronts another lantern Sinestro. He will provide Hal with the info on Manhunters if he shares details about John Stewart.
