A writer for the Big Bang Theory is a huge red flag, but the trailer was interesting, so I’ll try it.

One thing I didn’t realize until recently, the show has never established if Shiv was actually good as a political operative or if teams just wanted her for her connections and money. At the beginning of the show I assumed she was competent but in a different field and mistakenly thought it meant she could apply that…

“Childhood’s End” suffers from the same problem a lot of long spanning sci-fi books do - it runs through several sets of characters. This goes completely against the core tenant of Hollywood: people bind to one set of characters for an entire show/movie. Just see what an abomination they have made Foundation in order…

Very hard to find movie today, but one of my absolute favorites, is “Barbarians at the Gate” (If you love Succession, you’ll love that movie). It’s the story of the leverage buyout of RJR Nabisco. David Rasche has a great small part in it as well - in fact - I think he gets to say the title line in a hilarious over…

He was a terrible father, but honestly, that kind of leadership is kind of a random “born with it” thing, even being the best dad in the world can’t guarantee it.

Yes.

Because a shocking number of these people are actually idiots!

I think it would have been nice to have her have some kind of scene where she realized what all those calls from Tom were really about.

I totally agree, I thought of The Body as well.

The vibe I get from the trailers is that now she is really part of the family (and Logan is gone) she’s going to shift into being involved in helping Connor become a player in the family.  I think it will be an interesting turn.  With her help Connor might be a contender.

I also love how we will never know if Conor even cared or was just doing it to help his flagging presidential bid.  I really think Roman might be the only person that loved Logan.

so is jerri fired or not what’s going on there?

I feel like you would have no idea what is going on with Wanda in Multiverse if you hadn’t watched WandaVision.  Why did she turn evil?  Who are these kids?

Yeah, but now they have some real plot to work on for the last 7 episodes. Another go around of “the kids try to screw Logan and lose” would have been repetitive. I’m actually less worried about the show now then I was at the start of episode 3.

We are all so programmed for these kinds of things to happen at the end of a season (and for it to be telegraphed several episodes earlier) that it is just a shock for it to randomly happen in episode 3 (although in hind-site it is the perfect time).

Never gonna happen, but my god does David Rasche deserve an Emmy.

Not quite that long for me, but I seriously thought it was a cruel joke or test for the first few minutes.

Totally agree, I had to turn on the captions too.  Bad audio mixing.  Naughty, naughty!

To me that’s an interesting question: How much is this going to reference Secret Invasion?
