They didn't trade on insider information. They traded on product manipulation to skew the market. Different kind of crime.

"Axe has an intellectual/emotional with Wendy that he'll never have with her."

Right. Silence - think intellectually, not emotionally.

Ira is absolutely irrelevant to the trust.

Axe KNOWS! And you can bet Hall knows. Ghosts work in mysterious ways. Meaning of course that Bach knows. Conerty and Dake will suffer major humiliation next season. They will get their revenge on chuckles.

No one cares about that trivial sum of money. In fact, I would suggest that it all points to exactly how small and trivial Lara is. She takes out that wad of cash for Bach as if she were bribing someone at the corner of her old neighborhood FULLY thinking it would actually mean something to him. She is like an infant…

More like, Build me up, buttercup, baby!

Perhaps the writers are having a private little joke here and the reviewer is as well…

Its a schoolyard thing from when he was just a nothing kid eating pizza!

Really? You think Lara is strong? She is in fact the truly coddled whiner and essentially meaningless wife of a billionaire, who exactly functions within the trappings of a trophy wife. She is really quite shallow, and plays hardball at the school bully level from which she came (remember the very first episode?).

The hatred was indeed long before the books (and Wendy of course), but following on Black Jack's specific order/directions he had actually let go of Axe - that is what he told his team, and just at that point he saw Sacker's notes about the books being acquired by Axe. Trust me, this is exactly what drove him over the…

Chuck doesn't know about Wendy's short - it'll come back as yet another bribe she took for Dake.

"… the show so unrealistic…"

Really? You aren't seeing it?

Hall "connects in myriad ways!!! The phone disconnect was the signal to Axe that the arrest scenario is all real. Telling Bach Hall is a ghost tells Bach it is all real as well…

Yes it does - only a true masochist would take it to the insanity level Chuck has taken it to - he CANNOT help himself. What, you think a masochist only manifests sexually?

Hall hasn't done any such thing - he is a ghost…I would not be surprised that Axe and Hall have long worked out contingency plans for all possible blue scenarios and I expect Boyd to end up in a Hall dungeon next season. Boyd is a weak link in the Chuck string of links…Hall's disconnected number is a signal that…

Well, what's to say Hall won't get the ridiculously cowardly Boyd into a dungeon next season? Surely Axe and Hall have all their dots connected already for such an event…

Don't forget that Chuck is an actual masochist…
