I think Lucia was right. She did become a monster.

I can’t get over feeding the piano player an overdose of random pills, and then not caring at all when she thinks he’s dead beyond trying to figure out how she can take his job. Yeah, he (basically correctly) thought she was a prostitute and was willing to pay/compensate her for sex, but she’s got some kind of serious…

I thought he kind of admitted that he’s OK with being a boy toy with his the friends of his ‘uncle’. So, it wasn’t a far leap to see that they are also boning each other (and I immediately assumed that meant this wasn’t a blood relative -- although THAT bit of storyline isn’t forbidden on HBO shows!)

I’m with you (of course! lol). While MW at this point in the season might be suggesting there’s some big sinister plot, it’s probably something more pedestrian. I believe (and maybe I’m wrong) those aren’t the stories he’s interested in telling. He’s interested in the various contours of the relationships we have…

that rate is pretty standard (it’s actually on the lower end of standard, by Vegas/NYC/Miami/LA standards, anyway) but also, when you’re booked by a client, you don’t pay for anything. you never reach into your own pocket for things like drinks, tips, cabs, etc. so Lucia charging drinks and food and shopping to Dom’s…

Exactly. And if there WAS a cowboy, it sure wasn’t goofy Greg. And I can’t even believe awkward Colorado bureaucrat parks employee Greg would find a team of gay European grifters to go after Tanya’s money. Way too many easier ways for him to cash in than splitting it with all of them if he could even find them. Plus,…

I can’t for a minute believe that flamboyant Quentin would ever have any interest in bumbling Greg, let alone a lifetime of pining away for him. I think that’s just a Quentin story to help flesh out the overall grift to Tanya.

She isn't giving Cam a discount. He only paid her 700. He owes 1300.

If it somehow turns out mumbling, bumbling Greg is the cowboy it would be one of the most ridiculous plotlines / reveals ever written - even if the love attraction part was just some BS told as part of the con the whole time. The idea that (Season 1) terminally ill, Coloradan parks bureaucrat Greg is part of gay…

Gore Vidal’s line: “I can understand companionship. I can understand bored sex in the afternoon. But I cannot understand the love affair.

Same here. Also I heard a lot of older gays using the term ‘nephew’ or ‘cousin’ for toyboys, sometimes even lovers.

An entitled, semi-oblivious person of great wealth and privilege? 

Wasn’t “mimetic desire” the exact same situation between the daughter and her friend in season 1?

It’s “bought” sex in the afternoon. Important detail, given that this season is about transactional sex (Quentin-Nephew; Lucia-everyone; Mia-Valentina)

That would just be too convoluted, with too many witnesses. If you’re going to kill someone, you don’t hang out with them in public for a week.

Maybe but Jon Gries seems a little too squirrly and neurotic to be described as anyone’s “cowboy”.

Then Greg better get the prenup changed before he kills her. He stands to get nothing, as previously stated, so where’s his motive? 

So now Lucia’s pimp has seen Albie and we are reminded that Cam owes her money. We have been reminded that Sicily is a dangerous place via the Godfather locale connection and we can expect collateral damage. We have been shown that Jack has a gorgeous body and ass and we also have been shown that he has a…

Quentin says, “I can understand BOUGHT sex in the afternoon,” not “bored sex.” 

This season has less thematic depth than the first one, but I might say it’s more flat out entertaining. An Italian comedy of errors examining sex, lies, hypocrisy, and searching desperately for companionship or love. I don’t think Lucia will charge Albie. As she said she wouldn’t. I think she sees him as penance for…
