Great review! I totally missed the impact of that pivotal scene as well, so thanks for highlighting that. Looks like the only major loose end to be tied up is the murder itself, and with it possibly, Amantha's continued angst concerning the whole mess.

Not to denigrate your review here in any way, but perhaps movies shouldn't just be made to suit the tastes of opening weekend audiences of 16-24? Likewise, perhaps some movies should celebrate the fact that you can't decide whether or not it's a comedy or not. As far as "allures" go, they come in all shapes and sizes…

Enjoyed the show tremendously and mostly agree with this review. The whole Chandra thread left me perplexed as well, especially her sudden exit at the end of the trial. No "post mortem" wrap up for her at all, just exit stage right, making her whole attraction to Nas thing just that much more meaningless. I know they…

I could see Selina adopting a birther stance from the sidelines a la Sarah Palin and becoming a Faux News talking head, or something along those lines.

I guess it could work, we'll see. But the dynamics are definitely going to be much different, to say the least. For now at least, I still have to think they missed out on the perfect series finale. Hope I'm wrong.

Maybe VEEP should have taken a cue from Penny Dreadful and pulled a surprise series ending out of the hat. This was as natural of a series finale as I can possibly imagine. Everyone got they're complete comeuppance and the gang is all broken up. Only an overt, transparently thin plot manipulation could possibly put it…

Excellent comments - agreed with all. Hasty, rushed, and lackluster ending, even though it executed all the critical narrative moves. Felt like a typical blockbuster movie; which, having executed all the obligatory action and gore scenes, quietly folded it's hand and ushered the audience to the exits right on cue. As…

The If I Did It manuscript paints her as a vengeful, drug and sex addicted bitch toward the end. Although that was clearly self-serving on OJ's part, I'm sure there was at least a grain of truth to it as well. As the Eagles famous song title goes, "Life in the fast lane, surely make you lose your mind."

Excellent observations. The infamous glove fitting exercise was certainly contrived by OJ and his team, but then again Darden was absolutely criminally negligent for ever calling for it in the first place, while Clark was equally negligent in permitting it. Darden's "daddy issues" with Johnny Cochran proved to be his…

Even with the taped "confession," there seems to be a little bit too much ambiguity involved here to base any legal findings on (IMO, and I'm certainly no legal expert). But you bring up a good point. What if Kim just gets tired of the whole mess and/or fears that she'll get drug down with it and comes clean to the…

Great episode as always. Regarding interpretations:

OTOH as well, what if Jimmy already had another counter play up his sleeve when he confessed to Chuck? I'll admit, I don't what that would be right off hand, but this series never lacks for surprises.

Adam continues to be THE MAN on this show. Well played!

Have to wonder if Jemima Kirke's own real backstory didn't figure into some if this as well, being the daughter of a rock star drummer and all that. She's a remarkable talent.

The funniest party of this show is that Adam, the most predictably unstable and unlikable character of the lot, is the moral and intellectual center of this show.

Watching and commenting on this one WAY after the fact, but this reminds me first and foremost of Hard Candy, which might well have been career suicide for Patrick Wilson. I'm surprised he ever agreed to appear in this.

Watching Jessa work her magic on Thomas-John's father was as predictable as it was magical. That's why Thomas-John fell for her in the first place and why Jessa will ALWAYS be a surface skimmer (and proudly so!), who sees right through all of the "deep divers" around her. Thomas-John's final whore soliloquy and their…

That's what I'm wondering as well. Chuck's little crack on the head could go in all sorts of directions at this point. Chuck dies or is permanently disabled > Jimmy confesses/is implicated through remorse > Kim leaves him/is implicated by association/has tremendous guilt about what happened and her part in it > etc.…

Like nothing I've ever heard? What does that even mean? Hype much?

I was particularly surprised to see Martha had survived the interim. Didn't mean to slam Gen-X'ers, just genuinely bewildered about what all the hub-bub is about. "Multi-layered themes?" For instance? I'm not seeing it. Just two spies trying to keep a secret with a handful of predictable plot twists along the way to…
