It’s just nightmare logic. Dom is just a manifestation of the Mastermind telling himself he’s not the real Elliot. The real Elliot looks exactly like Rami Malek, otherwise the story doesn’t work.

I would love to believe that our Elliot was born with the Hello Friend opening speech of the first episode. That those were his first words.

I don’t think the show confirmed that everything we were watching was all delusion or fantasy. The show had plenty of scenes from perspective of other characters which I’d argue made it clear that the stuff with f-society, E-Corp, and Whitehall actually happened.

They said Mastermind Elliot was a representation of his rage. A way for him to fight back against the world so he could feel safe in it and from his past. So that’s why he came into being. The when, I took it, would be sometime just before the actual series starts.

“I was so hurt for Mei when Midge couldn’t even just give her the pride of studying to be a doctor before one-upping her. You chose not to have Joel, Midge. Let the woman he is dating have a bit of the limelight for once.”

I keep my thoughts and prayers locked away in a safe place, so that any kids or mentally deranged people in my house can’t accidentally take one of those thoughts or prayers and use it in a way that was not intended.  I learned my lesson after my 5 year old nephew found an unattended thought in my house and started…

This is an absolute violation of my complete misunderstanding of the first amendment. I'd write my congressman but they're a lizard person, so no thank you.

Cool. How about they work on their always-fucking-wrong recommendation engine instead. No, because I watched Ali Wong, Penny Dreadful, Planet Earth, Luther, GLOW, River, The Fall, and Seven Seconds does not in fact mean that I would enjoy The Boss Baby, Kevin Hart, The Emoji Movie, The Smurfs 2, Paranormal Activity…

He plays a great undead head in a vase on the latest season of Santa Clarita Diet.

It was more subtle than naming him “Potato-Eater Redcoat."

Yes that’s also the way I read that scene! I didn’t get a “I’m in love with him and he is breaking my heart” vibe from her at all. To me it was more a “Oh my friend, what are you doing” kind of face.

I did not love the way they used AIDS as effectively a plot point for Bash’s grief and denial while skirting around Bash’s identity and the nature of his relationship with Florian.

I feel the show is leaning toward directing as Ruth’s end game, but other Carmen is probably the one to get wrestling.

Great finish was for an awesome season and excellent recaps. While they were juggling a lot of balls this season, I do really like how they managed to maintain a sense of reasonable actions while doing so.

I don't think Carmen's crushing on Bash as much as she knows he's gay. She seems to be the only one that got to know him personally and figured it out. I think she's just sad for him. In my head they stayed up late talking about wrestlers they thought were hot because she grew up with that and he's a super fan.

As far as “cleaning out the gay” is concerned, I also agree with the interpretation that proposing to Rhonda serves a similar purpose. Bash isn’t just in the closet, he’s trying to put a lock on the door. It’s pretty sad for everyone involved. Also it makes me wonder how much his queerness, which is easy to read from…

....it’s season 2 of a series that just released on netflix and they’re reviewing all the episodes. Should they...not...review episodes?

Hey! Actual gay man checking in. While I haven’t lost a partner to AIDS, I do know people that have, and I think characterizing Bash’s entirely understandable spiral as an “asshole phase” is really shitty. He’s probably in not unjustitfied terror over how long he’s going to live and whether or not he’s positive.

For the same reason he tore down the Old Sugarman cabin: there’s no point wallowing in the past. After everything Bojack went through with the death of Sarah Lynn and what happened to Hollyhock, he’s trying to be better.

Loved the episode until the end, where it tanked by going for an easy out after previously handling a complex, divisive issue with nuance and strong character writing. Revealing Chuck to be as manipulative and cruel as Hannah had initially suspected, followed by the on-the-nose visual of the faceless women wandering…
