This epsiode we get our backstory on Quinlan, turns out he dates from the Roman Empire

He gets cool names like The Barbarian Gladiator and The Night Demon From Sicily
A gamer if you will, using cutting edge Gladiator technology from 2000.

Oh and he can walk in daylight, something I’d not even caught on till this ep

parting shot, here’s senator resting bitchface

Because anyone ever having a flashback to rome has a senatorial sponsor. it’s the rule.
Meanwhile Fet’s not taking well to the fact that Dutch’s girlfriend is alive and well, not dead.

Dutch’s reaction is perfect too, queen resting bitchface

Later with the vampire kid spidermonkeys still about, Fet gets his best one liner out.

Reaction on meeting Quinlan, do you think they’re trying to oversell it?

One of the kid spidermonkeys get chopped in half…

and Quinlan being a dick steps on its exposed intestine

and as if it wasn’t enough Quinlan also likes micro uzis

I mean I guess they’re trying to make up for the fact that they killed Vaun early on and it really was a waste so here’s Quinlan, we promise we won’t waste this badass character!
Palmer meanwhile is just doing his best out of the Cordelia School of Acting

and New York keeps burning

We flashback to 1873 where it turns out Quinlan’s been on a mission to kill the master for a while (I assume the master is his actual father)

Smug BolivarMaster

I’ve giffed it but I will never get enough of Eph’s face when Fet gets into it

finally he’s got a new purpose which will drive the next few episode and ultimately be fruitless

Next episode, Zack fucks up. again.
