At this point, anyone have any clue what the end game for the series is going to be? A this point, I have to thing the show will end with an ultra-ambiguous ending: Elizabeth and Phillip's handlers "burn notice" them, basically stranding them in the US with the fall of the Soviet Union but giving them their freedom to…

I hated this week's episode because it embodies how garbage the Leftovers is with regards to trying to have it's cake and eat it too with regards to the mythology angle.

I gave up on the season after two episodes but will probably revisit it on DVD, since as said, Dreamland probably work better on DVD when binged. I had similar issues with Vice, dropping the season after a couple of episodes, but loving it when I had a chance to watch the season all at once as opposed to week after…

I made the mistake of watching FWWM before the main series. Didn't even get through the first half with Chris Issak and Keifer Sutherland.

He's the clichéd "superior officer who exists solely to complicate the police officer main character's investigation" character.

Trump's brand of capitalism was velvet glove type greed. Varga is clearly a "No Vaseline" type capitalist….

Not really; Madoff and Lay were hustlers who's entire gimmick were tricking their marks into giving everything to them (Madoff) or social Darwinist who used their smarts to seduce people into giving him free reign with their money (Lay). Varga is more Mitt Romney/Bain Capital "You took our money, we own your asses so…

Disagree about Varga being a Ken Lay type. The show outright stated that he was the man behind the man who gave Emmitt the loan, which he is now using to steal the company from him. If anything, Varga is a vulture capitalist: the type of super-corrupt businessmen who target and prey upon smaller businesses and…

The season has been super uneven and lacking all efforts to focus on SOMETHING to bind things together.

More like Mia will dump Dinesh after she learns his roommates are working with Gavin. And Gilfoyle will find a way to stop her from screwing everyone over.

Gavin was projecting. He has spent the past three seasons repeatedly trying every dirty trick in his arsenal to destroy Richard. And more to the point, Richard's initial refusal to bend the knee and hand over to Gavin the algorithm further put it into Gavin's mind that Richard is a usurper in the making. Given the…

IIRC the pilot implied he and Richard were BFFs so it may have been a case where they were close friends growing up/in college and had spent his days, up until the pilot and his being kicked to the curb, coasting off of his friendship with Richard until the day came when Richard had to cut him loose as the dead weight…

He's less a socially awkward Dennis Reynolds and more of a likeable, less jerkish version of Shane Vendrell; right down to the repressed homolust for Richard (which mirrors Shane's homoerotic relationship with Vic).

Which ironically would be a good thing, given that Bighead (Peter Principal aside) is one of the most decent and nice people on the show. Which is ironic, given how he started out as Richard's BFF who was denied being allowed to join Pied Piper and who was singled out for his mediocre rise to the top by Gavin, largely…

No, Bighead will finally fucking snap, admit he's a fraud of epic proportions and then go irreversibly insane when no one believes him when he finally calls out the fact that he's done jack shit to deserve the accolades and money he's received.

To be fair, Gavin's petty enough to keep the patent on his name. Especially if he intended to keep ownership of it as a form of "in case of emergency, break glass" bargaining chip (think Oswald the Rabbit and Disney).

Bighead probably drinks decaf sodas

I'd argue Gavin>Russ because of the Peter Gregory connection (which was rarely touched on and could make for some interesting storyline fodder) and the fact having him forced to work with Richard and the rest of the group could make for some great material in terms of dealing with their insanity and Richard and co…

Fu Manchu was cut from the theatrical version of LOXG because of the convoluted rights issues surrounding the character.

I think the writers might have hit a brick wall this season. A writers block situation with the twin storyline might have came up in so far as how do you stretch it out (especially since the feud between the twins is just a red herring for the B-Plot with the foreign mobsters taking over one of the twin's parking lot…
