DOOM PATROL THE ENDING THAT NEVER WAS EPISODE.
Nowhere Man "As I been the narrator since episode one of this show about superzeros I have to hope that you the last surviving watcher is ready to hear want I have to say about what should have been my crowning glory, my victory for all for you too see but for some reason perhaps it be explained I been denied and also I learned by time travel no I just watched the spoilers on YouTube ,I lose,end up in a painting with a person who eats human hair waste how yuck,but at lest I get my tiny revenge, you have to watch DOOM PATROL SEASON 2 ,EPISODE 1 to find that out.#
"Well that get back to the plot,Robotman,Crazy Jane,the mummy,cyborg, and the blob discussed or should I say argued to agreement to follow the the beard hunter as the blob had managed to put a tracker on him,and as thier wanted the chief back despite his many faults "
The scooby doo gang ie the DOOM PATROL followed the beard hunter to a spiral staircase that was straight out of the cubic movement in art .
Down,up,side to side ,even upside down until thier reached a room in which was a table and on the wall a very small door, Jane realised this was a Alice's in wonderland reference, but who among them was brave enough to eat the mushroom to go small open the door and then find out what trap the villain Nowhere Man had in store .
There all played a game of rock ,paper, scissors, which if your a robot man you know you would normally lose, but seeing he could not eat he was glad for once of losing this skill,so Rita ,*,The blob*just walks up eats the mushroom.
Rita "Wow,I so disappointed that nothing happened "
But one of the remaining DOOM PATROL heard her as her voice was like a squeak from a mouse.
Rita opens the door, walks through to be greeted by the no where man and Miles*The Chief*both seated waiting for he arrival,in a flash of smoke,lights and by a bit of interdimentional magic all the rest appeared, Clint*Robot Man *said with his usual flair .
"Oh Fuck"
Thier look around and see the painting by the hangman's daughter ,cyborg standing with all around him seemly beaten and maybe all dead,but thus is season one and normally eight of ten times their is a season two.
The Nowhere man asks
"Shall we play "
Jane "All my sixty nine self's are ready "
Rita "I am not ready but I have nothing to lose"
Cyborg "Armed and Ready "
Clint *The mummy*"I know the spirit inside is ready "
Cliff "Yeh fuck I am ready but it going to be a unfair fight as you have interdimentional powers "
Nowhere Man smiles at Miles who at the moment can't talk as his mouth is switched together, and replies
"Oh that's OK it's not me you have to worry about it going to be him"
All the DOOM PATROL look at the nerd looking like a second hand ninja ,apart from Rita and Cyborg or as he prefers Vic.
The man introduces himself to the other and to any whom may have forgotten about the second super villain in this series.
"My name is Beard Hunter, I know all about you through the essence of your facial hair,so Cyborg we meet again, and this time instead of crushing you I beat your friends to a pulp"
Carl to Vic
"One how did this dush beat you,and is the bit were you go all Norman Bates on me and the other s"
But before Vic can reply he has turned around to face his friends with his sonic cannon all fired up and ready to attack.
The rest of the DOOM PATROL look at Vic with shock and awe then try to duck out of the way but it's too late the blast from the sonic cannon hits them at full force,thier all fall down like a stack of domino's.
The Nowhere man just s grins like a chestshire cat who's just got his cream and he turns to Miles and looks him dead in the eye and is just about to dwell in his victory over Miles freaks when out of nowhere appears Danny Street and a sign saying
(Nothing is ever over until the fat lady sings)
Nowhere Man is a hissy fit turns Danny Street into a brick,and laughed
(Is that the best thing you got to ride in and safe the day you cannot defeat me for I am the narrator of this story and only I can dictate its ending)
In the shadows is an ape faced little girl called Claire who although a bit scared hears the familiar whisper
"Make a wish,I can help your father and his friends "
She remember s her father s said never to wish ever again but surely it would be alright just to save her father, so she asked for her wish.
The creature inside the wish master appear s only to the eyes of the Nowhere man who immediately along with the Beard Hunter end up in the painting trapped like flies in a spider s Web for until the said painting is destroyed.
As for the DOOM PATROL will thier ended up on a table full of houses and a race track wondering when would thier be big again and had a very ignoring girl with a ape face for company and a fist full of questions about why Miles betrayed them all as he was just using them to find a way of staying immortal to keep his daughter safe.
But that you have to find out more in SEASON 2 ,did this episode happen or is it just some fanzine fantasy who knows but hey at least it may explain the what happened in the end of season one and beginning of season two.
So that's the end of that weird and wonderful episode so I hope you enjoyed it if not look behind I think it s the Nowhere man.
The end,possibly.

ENID AND MARK S BLESSING 15 JUNE 2021 AS IT WAS OUR 30 TH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY
30th Wedding anniversary for Mark and Enid Raines
18 Glebelands, Holsworthy – 2pm 15th June 2021
Dear Enid and Mark, I would usually welcome you to the place that your anniversary celebration is taking place, however in this instance I would like to say that I feel very welcomed to be in your lovely home! I love all your garden ornaments outside!
I feel honoured to have been asked to hold a small blessing for you both on your 30th wedding anniversary today…Many congratulations, I was interested to find out that Pearls are the Symbols of the 30th Wedding Anniversary; long-lasting and ever-growing, the 30th anniversary signifies a deep bond, a solid relationship moulded by experiences and perfected in time – similar to a pearl. Like pearls, couples who reach 30 years of marriage are relatively rare, and the pearl symbolises the beauty and scarcity of such a wonderful union. As the traditional symbol of the 30th anniversary, pearls represent everlasting love and purity. After all, pearls are strongly connected with the idea of love. Legend has it that Cleopatra herself crushed a large pearl, then drank it, in a gesture meant to show Marc Anthony her everlasting love.
I’m thinking that you probably didn’t drink a crushed pearl Enid to show your Mark your love however I loved hearing that you went one stage further and actually bought your husband in the 80’s after he placed an advert selling himself in the lonely hearts section of the Back Street Heroes, biker magazine. That is so cool, although Mark told me that sometimes you think you should have a refund! You went through many challenges then to be together and here you are still over 30 years from then!
So going back to the Pearl idea, I suppose that is when the pearl first started, like a grain of sand in an oyster…gradually over the next 30 plus years it has become a beautiful pearl with a few special dates along the way. August 1988 must have been a special time Mark when you moved from your native Essex to Devon for you both to be together and then, of course, the reason why we are here to celebrate and offer a blessing for this particular date 30 years ago – 15th June 1991 you married at Holsworthy Register Office! Where you both stated ‘I do solemnly declare that I know not of any lawful impediment why I may not be joined in matrimony to the other’ and you called upon those persons who were present to witness that you Mark, do take thee, Enid, to be my lawful wedded wife and Enid the same to take Mark to be your lawfully wedded husband! What a joyous day that must have been, with the reception at The White Hart Pub dancing to the Blues Brother’s music! I hope it was a beautiful sunny day like today!
Although it wasn’t a church wedding they were still sacred vows that you stated to each other and everything else that was said on the day…., I know that your faith is important to you Enid so I would like to offer some words from the Anglican marriage ceremony and offer a blessing… where the vows are to have and to hold from this day forward, for better for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death us do part, according to God's holy ordinance; and thereto I give thee my troth. You have indeed lived up to those vows having been through many challenges together over the years….But always coming through together, talking things through.
I have a short prayer…..Heavenly Father, we thank you for this day as we celebrate 30 years of marriage together for Enid and Mark. We thank you for journeying with them. Thank you for making them strong and keeping them close. Forgive them for the times they may have failed each other or the times they may have hurt one another.
I’d also like to offer the Lord’s prayer here, let us pray…
OUR Father, who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, On earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, As we forgive, those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, But deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen.
I asked Mark if there were any special readings that he may like and he shared with me the words of a song that he finds very special…The song is called No Matter What..
No matter what they do
No matter what they teach us
What we believe is true
I can't deny what I believe
I can't be what I'm not
I know I'll love forever
I know no matter what.
I love those words, so beautiful and heartfelt just like the fact that you try to tell each other every day that you love each other. The basis for a beautiful pearl of a marriage.
Is there anything that you’d like to say to each other now?
As a final blessing I have chosen the beautiful words of John O’Donohue, an Irish writer of blessings and beautiful books.
FOR MARRIAGE
As spring unfolds the dream of the earth,
May you bring each other's hearts to birth.
As the ocean finds calm in view of land,
May you love the gaze of each other's mind.
As the wind arises free and wild,
May nothing negative control your lives.
As kindly as moonlight might search the dark,
So gentle may you be when light grows scarce.
As surprised as the silence that music opens,
May your words for each other be touched with reverence.
As warmly as the air draws in the light,
May you welcome each other's every gift.
As elegant as dream absorbing the night,
May sleep find you clear of anger and hurt.
As twilight harvests all the day's colour,
May love bring you home to each other.
Bless you both and here’s to more years together…..
Thank you for asking me to be part of your anniversary, it feels very special and an honour……
A big thanks to
