Looking back on all those fawning stories about how Kanye controlled every element of Kim’s appearance once they got together is how this shit starts. It’s not cute, it’s a red flag. 

People who suck don’t deserve to be murdered. I think we can all feel OK saying that without equivocating. 

He was already out as of mid November. Let’s just admit he’s an anti semite, not some savvy genius with a coherent secret plan.

He’s playing 3-dimensional Go Fish.

Katzenberg threw around money, so I’d bet it was one of the best paying seasons of Reno -- it almost hardly matters that the season got interrupted (from the creators’ POV). 

Black Bear was awesome.

Ethan is problematic as hell, truly. I just think Harper has now shut off completely from her husband. I don’t think the facts of the condom wrapper honestly even matter at this point. As you say, it’s about something bigger. 

This is all in the eye of the beholder, but I keep seeing quite a bit of “spark” between Cameron and Harper. He’s an awful person. She knows it. And she is certainly using Cameron and even her “spicy” table chatter to punish Ethan. But it can also be true that there is a part of her that feels an attraction to this…

It’s clear Lucia is playing Albie. If her “pimp” was real, he already would have visited broke-ass Cameron. Also, during the “pimp” scene, Albie remarks that they walked far out of their way that evening, making it pretty clear that the rendezvous was preplanned.

I like your theory. No way Greg is having an affair. He’s up to something but that would be too dull. 

Exactly, Re Star Wars/Marvel. I should have added that theatrical releases are the other profit engine. It’s really the streaming business that is hard to make profitable.

I doubt he is truly a nephew; if your uncle was a globetrotter why would you only have gotten to Europe as a grown man? I think that’s a near certainty. 

This is a literal Veep plot point. 

“I don’t care if they raise the price of Disney+ a couple bucks or whatever, but when i pay several thousand dollars to go and stay at Disneyworld, then get nickle and dimed to death inside and have to pay a bunch of extraneous surcharges, that really drains most of the “magic” from the trip.”

This is all about streaming. The theme parks actually serve fewer customers now compared to pre-pandemic life — yet they make way more from each customer, rendering that business highly profitable. (And the declining quality of experiences so far hasn’t hurt the business — in a way making it something like the airline…

YES, Jack! Got that mixed up. In any case, I went back to the transcript and it’s very open-ended (and I’m certainly sensitive to portraying gay people as predatory). Jack says that Palermo is “all right, if you don’t mind a bunch of gays grabbing your arse and copping a feel.” Portia asks if he minds and he says, “No,…

Like 3 views of the same life. 

I forgot to shout out Bert’s cogent assessment last episode about the ways in which the old are no longer respected but instead reviled as ugly reminders of less enlightened pasts. (Admittedly, Bert is clearly cut from the sexual harassments cloth, but he’s also astute.) I think Bert’s lament that he may never again…

Valentina has already violated HR guidelines. Like Armond, she’s a sympathetic character, but also a bit of a predator.

Do we trust Quentin? He seems to have gravitated to Tanya rather deliberately. I can imagine he traveled to such opulent settings to grift. Or do I just have a cold, dead heart?
