I imagine this would end with Steve Bannon trying to channel that Tommy Boy/Silence of the lambs thing he's got going on. Fat guy in a Roger Ailes Corpse indeed Mr. Bannon.

I liked the first couple episodes. However to your point of keeping the tension if they're going to announce a sudden death quick fire they probably shouldn't couple that with a group shot where Doug is absent. Unless they bring a few people back this is going to be a very short season.

I had a strangely similar conversation with my wife about Jem and the holograms.
