Unfortunately the finale for the season was not able to be completed due to the virus, so the original penultimate became the finale. This episode gave us Miranda's origin story, which I found to be quite interesting, especially since it ended on a huge twist. The rest of the DP face off against former imaginary friends. Each of these friends are amusing but also help the character in their season long arc. Of course since it is setting up a finale it ends on a big cliffhanger that I was confused by. Hopefully once next season begins everything will be cleared up.

This episode felt more like the penultimate episode rather then a season finale. But I cannot blame the showrunners as it was intended as the second last episode but due to COVID-19 it became the finale.

This episode focused more on the everyone's own problems rather then facing The Candlemaker (although it did tease the final fight right at the end), the main villain of the season, which is why it felt weak as a season finale. Although we did get a good backstory to Miranda, and the origin to Jane which was the best part of the episode.

The ending of the epsiode doesn't feel like we are left with a cliffhanger but rather a lot of unresolved plot-lines which is quite bothering to the audience i.e. Cyborg and Ronnie Cliff and Clara Niles disease Dorothy vs Candlemaker

So if I am going to give this episode a rating it would be in two categories 1.) As a season finale = 8/10 2.) As a normal episode = 9.5/10

Yes, it'd be nice if they could do episode 10. But they couldn't. So putting out this episode 9, was the best they could do. Otherwise folks would be complaining that episode 8 ended with nothing even left hanging on a cliff.

Was the episode okay? Parts were good, parts were bad. Things like Larry not having an imaginary friend didn't make much sense, but it's hard to believe that plot point would have made more sense if they had another episode. It seems more like the writers not having enough time or imagination to squeeze Larry and his emotional subplots in. Maybe a case of too many to fit in, when that could have taken an entire episode.

Did anyone get a resolution? No. Rita is still dealing with her role as a superhero, Larry still has several decades of guilt burdening him, Vic remains a man-child. Roni is nowhere to be seen.

Were there good parts? Sure. The creepy wax-enshrouded fair, and Cliff in general whether he's is unleashing more rounds of cursing, or fighting Jesus. And even the creepiness of Roxy, and the weirdness of Doctor Cowboy, aka Phil Morris in a more light-hearted role than usual.

The only character who got a decent plotline was Jane, as we find out more about Miranda. That ended on a cliffhanger of sorts, too, with "Miranda" revealed as something other than another alter in Kay's subconscious. But it gave Diane Guerrero a lot to do, and Jane got a Me, Too moment as she chastises the free love men as control freaks. It doesn't say much for the women of the 60s, who apparently bought into men controlling them.

So overall, "Wax Patrol" was a decent episode given the circumstances. Yes, the episode cuts off abruptly, but the DC Universe stuff already underwent that with season 1-2 of 'Titans'. The DC stuff has already been subject to rescheduling and interrupted cliffhangers. So seeing it happen now is old hat.

But that's just my opinion, I could be wrong. What do you think?

This is a story about people not super heroes. This is a story of pain and trauma and how these characters deal with it. Whether you're an 11 year old girl whose imaginary friends come to life or the brain of a man in a robot, somehow the characters in this show are very relatable. This episode was about Jane and her ongoing battle within herself. If you came her for action and adventure you're watching the wrong show!

I know people will be disappointed that this is a season finale. But due to covid 19 they weren't able to finish filming the 10th episode of the season.

This episode was truly great the Maria flashback was entertaining. We also see Jane after Maria left. The twist with Maria was great, Maria is dead and Kay's father is now in Maria's body.

All the scenes with the doom patrol and their imaginary friends were great. It showed what our heroes have been struggling with this season and the whole series. The part with Cliff and Jesus was hilarious though.

The ending with everyone Turing into wax and Dorthy going to fight candlemaker was so crazy and good. Obviously we were supposed to get one more episode with Dorthy and the team defeating candlemaker. But it was still a really good finale and leaves us on a big cliffhanger.

Can't wait for this series to get renewed for a third season.

First of all, a fantastic show! I really like the darkness and strangeness, the actors and characters are exciting. I liked the first season a lot more despite some very high peeks this season but the ending of the final episode was abysmal. NEVER EVER end a season final with a cliffhanger! I will recommend ppl to see the first season of Doom Patrol but not the second since it's only frustrating.

I will continue watching this show and think it's the second best super hero show there is, after 'the Boys'. There's a lot going on with the characters and it's going to be interesting to see if Cliff gets a brand new humanoid body when they put him together next season and if Larry learns to control his negative spirit as the Russian astronaut. I'm hoping to see even more from Rita Farr next season, not because her story is that interesting, but because she might be the sexiest woman on TV :)

Jane's character development is the highlight of the show for me and they let that take the lead.

F marvel they will never reach this level. This show is insane this ending was so different and weird. I hope cliff can come back together. Also i love titans - be great if we get a dceu in these shows.
