God, I hope so.

Unbeknownst to her, Shiv’s second biggest mistake (the first being the fake phone call) was coincidentally giving Greg the same threat that Kerry gave him, and in almost the exact same location. That was like five or six days ago, and I bet it (and how both of them turned out) was still fresh in the Egg’s mind when…

At the end of Season 2, after Logan tells Ken he’s throwing him to the wolves, Ken quietly asks his dad if Logan ever thought Ken could have handled the big chair. Instead of an explicit yes or no, Logan just says “you’re not a killer. You* have* to be a killer.” He tries to spare his kid’s feelings a bit by…

On a purely political level? Yeah, I can see how the U.S. may be viewed as borderline third-world by the rest of the planet. American politics fucking suck, and they get worse every year.

“There’s one person here who doesn’t think I’m a joke.”

Pretty sure Kendall was off doing meth with the white trash posse during that therapy session, but I still think you're right: Logan probably said that line once a year to his kids and Ken was surely around for a few of them. 

I wouldn’t say caricature. He’s always been a slimy little weasel, but for three seasons he had someone (usually Tom) to latch onto like a remora. Now he’s unmoored, so his actions - while very typical for Greg - feel more unfocused.

It’s frustrating that none of the three kids have realized that they’re attempting to buy Pearce (Pierce?) for like a third of what Logan was offering two (?) years earlier. Do they not see the writing on the wall there?

My favorite part of that video is right after they’ve detailed the work/living plan that utilizes radial suburban neighborhoods with carless roads, electric powered public transit, underground roads, and a 30-story central office building. All that stuff is incredibly ambitious but managed to just fly under the Crazy…

“Harry Belafonte: Patriot”

Well he sure as hell earned it. Also, while it may seem odd to single out a person’s Muppet Show appearance in their obituary, it really is a phenomenal episode. Belafonte was a natural in front of the camera, the musical numbers are great, and he meshed with the Muppet performers like few…

Agreed. I think Shiv handled herself well, and maybe Matsson was impressed with her, and maybe-maybe the blood story is real, but more than anything I think he’s just looking for a back channel he can dump the minute the deal is signed.

Mandalore lore (for lack of a better term) does nothing for me, so this season was largely a drag. The prospect of a return to more “adventure of the week” storytelling has me cautiously optimistic for next season, however, especially if “Ahsoka” can keep that chump Filoni as far from the writers’ room as possible.

F*ck…

Ah yes, the "he beats me but I deserve it" defense. 

Exactly, they’re strip clubs with a wink at the camera. “The patrons of this establishment aren’t here for nudity, look at the artistic performances on display. Why, any nudity is purely incidental.”

How Did This Get Made talked about this in a few episodes featuring 80s movies. Their theory is that these weird dance/cabaret joints are stand-ins for strip clubs. In the 80s, studios and the American media at large started to create a strong divide between movies that got R-ratings for violence and/or the F-word vs…

Yeah, but those could all be lies. Not trying to be snarky or anything here, but that’s the whole puzzle of dealing with a person who will say almost literally anything if it gets the listener to do his bidding. There could have been three times as many examples of Logan saying he loved Ken and wanted him to take…

I had a similar feeling in the first ep of the season where Greg was the only one willing to sharply come back at Logan’s request to be roasted. But I don’t think this show would go with something so outlandish. If I had to guess, maybe he ends up with Kerry when she approaches him with some unsubstantiated info given…

The increasing amount of power he wanted to give to Marsha was never fully resolved, right? Does she still get two board votes (or maybe three? Wasn’t there something about her son getting/wanting a board seat?) I know the kids didn’t agree to the change in the trust, but I don’t remember how much that effects the…

My suspicion is that Greg thought Tom was giving him a message when he said “don’t tell anyone, but if anyone finds out, make sure they know I was with him.”

There’s definitely a chance that someone tipped off the press, either Gerri or maybe Greg who thought Tom was winking when he said “don’t tell anyone, but if someone finds out, make sure they know I was here.”

But at the same time, they mentioned flight trackers, and we’ve seen in real life how easy it is to track…
