Emotional vampire is exactly it—he's getting what he wants or needs at the expense of the other person's emotional well-being.

Same! I was expecting him to pull some goofy move from a rom-com.

You can stay in your bubble and never learn new things or you can keep watching and expand your horizons. Up to you.

The thing that ultimately doesn't add up, for me, about PT supposedly being 170 years old is that even if he had the ideas worked out for prolonging life back in 1800-something, the technology to make it happen didn't exist yet.

I don't think Jonah actually cares about politics. He liked being around the person with the power. Now that he's in congress, he's trying to do whatever he can to feel powerful.

Not gonna lie, I definitely bristle a little at some of the most terrible jokes, because I'm a decent human being and it's reflexive. I realize that the point is that the characters are awful human beings, but there are a handful that probably do cross the line between "oh that's just the character being bad" and…

I had assumed the heat burned it off.

Yeah sometimes the misogyny irks me, but I think knowing that the writers can't possibly mean any of this stuff, because it's so absurd, kind of counteracts that for me.

Ben and Kent as Jonah's staff-slash-handlers are my new favorite combo.

It really is. But at the same time, Selina keeps trying to leave off "women's studies" in the library's title because it's too long, so it's hard to feel too bad for her.

Same! Something about his face actively makes me cringe.

Does that mean Sue is the Kenneth the Page of Veep?

For me it also reinforced that they were never meant to save him despite getting his number; they got the number because he was a threat to Team Machine, even then.

I'm trying not to just randomly tear up at work right now.

He was so good. It's harder to play a quiet, even-keeled character than to play someone who's on an emotional swing all the time or someone who gets lots of dramatic monologues.

You can't win simply by having the most votes. You have to have at least 26 votes to win. With 3 abstentions, it was particularly unlikely that Selina would hit the magic 26 votes.

That's the secret ingredient in his tea that he won't mention on-camera.

I think it was purposely bad. You could see that Finch looked really nervous, like he wasn't sure he was pulling the whole thing off.

I'm not a fan, but I do think if Beyonce died it would screw up the global economy somehow.

It made total sense BECAUSE it made no sense. He was insane and his thinking was completely flawed and so he made a crazy decision.
