It’s the opposite of a cliffhanger. When they just go right over the edge.

Both the Times and I are based in the Pacific time zone. It’s on Max at the same time no matter where you live; new stuff debuts at 6 p.m. So, Logan may have died by then, but the episode wasn’t even over.

Pssh. That was a full day after the episode aired. The fake LA Times obituary popped up in my iPhone newsfeed at 6:38 p.m. Pacific time. The one time I didn’t watch right away, because I had family visiting and a dinner reservation.

LOL at everyone trying to figure out whether Snook herself was or wasn’t when this specific episode was filmed. It’s like a lawsuit in Texas.

I agree that it’s also about his relationship with Willa and that he at least wants her to love him. But I don’t know how you can see their as anything but “logan roy-style love.” It’s just that Connor has taken the Logan role for himself.

it’s the principle of a father advising against his own daughter, and giving her ex-husband advice on how to get the upper-hand in the divorce.

Agree that it’s more complicated than some are making it out to be. Although I also think the context makes it pretty clear that the “love” he’s talking about is the heady brew of attention and interfamial social capital associated with Logan’s temporary approval that the Roy kids mistake for love.

Speaking of Netflix, I’m pretty sure “Callie” is the Vice President’s daughter in that new show “The Night Agent.” Never would have caught it if I hadn’t seen episodes of each back to back.

You should see her in Servant! (Don’t worry, I know it’s even harder to get people to watch AppleTV+ than Showtime.)

I’m not all that sure she doesn’t know what she is doing to lure and possibly kill her wife, who was overtly threatening to reveal HER new big secret

I read that as “log” with a short o, but it’s a little better.

Then again, “Shiv” is kind of the whole joke.

I have no strong feelings about the nickname itself, but I have very strong feelings about the fact that the subtitles spell it “Loge.” Not only does it look awful, it’s a word IRL and you pronounce it with a soft g.

All it takes is a quick trip to Wikipedia. Or remembering any of the weird references in the god-awful Downey/Law movies, which Barsanti mentions.

Maybe? I’ll be honest: I don’t know enough about television funding to have a clear sense of how to weight the importance of the BBC’s investment vs. the HBO/Discovery merger.

Subtitles might help. Unless you’re secretly Lea Michelle.

I’m not saying there aren’t other things they can do with the characters. But at that point we’re just following a bunch of random  20-somethings as they stumble through London looking for meaning.

So… season 3 renewal, when HBO?

Wow, that is a blazing hot take. We’re talking nuclear fission levels of heat.(Especially the part about Billions characters being less miserable.)
