Vision is overpowered. He needs to either die, or get de-powered, so removing the infinity stone from him is a good move, however it turns out.

Nixon had Cuban exiles help with Watergate, so it was still outsourced to foreigners.

When Earn was flipping out about his laptop, I thought he would kick open the door, go off on the girls, and get some of their stuff back or something. But all he could do is pull a fire alarm, when they aren’t home; he’s fucked up with Al, and there’s getting around it or taking his frustrations out.

Right, when Clarke County or the girl from The Woods (I forgot her name) talk about everything that a legitimate rap career would provide, Al is interested and listens. If Earn had made the pitch that working together, they can achieve that, and demonstrated that he was a capable manager, Al probably would’ve gone…

Right—Tracy comes and they stay in a hotel, no problem. Tracy stays but they still shack up with crazy college girl—she still spills her drink on Al and starts a fight. Maybe it plays out differently, but it really is Earn not pushing for a hotel that put them in that situation.

Honestly, there are probably people worse than Tracy in most music entourages. Like, Clarke County has a guy whose job is to threaten the sound engineer—Tracy could’ve been managed. He took his job as security seriously, if somebody had actually placed some real expectations on him he would’ve been less of a problem.…

They usually do pretty good with Van, but yeah, outside of her, they could do better.

I think a lot of it is that Tracy comes out of nowhere and is instantly in with Al, while Earn is constantly having to justify himself somehow. Tracy first shows up laughing along with Al and Darius at Earn, marking Earn as an ‘outsider’ while Tracy fits in. That’s probably a big part of why Earn didn’t want Tracy to…

re: Van. Even in season 1, Earn was pretty distant and going after other girls as well. They never were a traditional monogamous couple, and Earn was okay with that. Even with the storage unit—Van said he could stay with her that night, but he turned her down. Earn being successful might have put more pressure to…

The “non-violent black people” speech was super-weak—now way was that going to work.

My mom loves this movie, and is excited to see the remake. I vaguely remember it being funny, and am glad Anna Farris is getting lead roles outside sitcoms.

Drake better watch out.

He doesn’t want to be a failure, but he doesn’t have anything in mind as success, either

That skipped my mind, since I thought of it as a Van episode. But yeah, that’s the kind of plot Earn works well in.

Xavier was the one that took him out of his body.

The obvious answer would be that it’s the Shadow King mind in Future Syd’s body.

Earn did get Paper Boi on the radio, but he’s mostly just sort of handled Al’s calls since then. I’m sure he does actual work when it comes to booking shows and such, but Earn has no idea what the taking things to the next level would even look like.

I would be surprised, because that would suck.

The problem with Earn is that he’s a slacker that doesn’t really want anything. That could work with more traditional sitcom plots—such as “Juneteenth,” or his subplot in “Nobody Beats the Biebs”—but as this season is getting more ambitious, I’m not sure “Earn ends up somewhere strange and thinks its bullshit” would…

Isn’t this the book King was so coked out on he doesn’t even remember writing it?
