It was believable for Pike to do it cos his power is based on fear and doling out violence to the other (grounder,traitors they are all the same). the problem with that is once you start you can never stop. He will have to keep escalating to avoid looking weak to his supporters and to continuously reconfirm the…

I enjoyed the ep. I like the political fallout at Polis but I agree Ontari is hella contrived so far. They will improve this so I'm giving it a pass. Lincoln's death was tragic and the narrative was well crafted up until the final scene. I did not like that scene. again they were more concerned with giving…

I enjoyed this ep but the action scenes were off and purefoy's acting was middling to say the least.

I agree, it's really unneeded. how hard is it to just have a generic title?

That's my take as well, he literally becomes the 'gas station manager' Kim didn't want to marry in the first place. I think they actually missed a trick by not having her more explicitly refer to a business more similar to a Cinnabon shop. But I suppose they can't think of everything!

It wasn't, really.

Walt didn't know that it would mean ''heroic death'' until very late in the game. Largely cos Gilligan chose to sell out and give him an ''heroic death''. Walt always believed he would be the king. WE the audience could see his hubris and knew it would take him to his downfall but make no mistake the ''heroic'' death…

Yes I can see why you would think that. If Jimmy didn't genuinely know about his contract it made him out to be fairly stupid which hasn't been the impression so far (which is that he is smart and a good lawyer just someone who likes to push the bounds of legality and go his own way).

Misogynists want to be misogynists. It's not even up for debate. The scene was drawing a completely different story to the misogynist one people are imposing on Stacey's character.

I don't think Walt did know that (or if he did it was very late in the game). Walt always wanted the throne his arrogance and ego propelled him to the top. Mike has the same arrogance in that he believes he can control things on his terms but obviously he doesn't get to the throne. So it will be interesting to see…

she's not taking advantage of him and she's certainly not ''rewarding'' him. There is zero evidence of that. Again that's you imposing a view which suggests a fucked up, horribly negative view of interpersonal relationships. There is genuine affection between the two.

I' was being facetious as you don't seem to understand how I'm a step ahead of you all te way thru… Mike has the agency. its that simple.

I'm not excited. you need to stop projecting attributes onto people you don't know be that me or characters on TV. You also need to stop asking irrelevant questions, its not a sound form of argumentation. If Mike has agency he is choosing not being manipulated. simples. good luck with your future endeavours 8D

I'm not the one heavily invested in having my opinion validated.

you clearly didn't understand the bit about cognitive dissonance. I know you don't think I changed your mind. I dont care. You seem not to realise that not only did I 'ponder' your opinion, I also knew where your arguments would go before you made them…

Mike has chosen to do what he does. no exploitation.

I pondered it for about 3 seconds and then rejected it. Just cos you are invested in your opinion doesn't mean jack shit to me. Now I don't say that to be rude or impolite but you really need to understand that I don't have to take your opinion serious.

He has lied to her… that's on Mike not her.

Your position on Mike/Stacey has been mentioned. The fanboys don't like it. They want to hate on stacey. It's sad in a pathetic way.

I know you people hang out in circles that descend into groupthink, it's the bane of the internet but having a different position and being able to argue that position is not trolling. It's the very point of a discussion board like this.
