Marnie pronouncing Ecuador was everything I ever wanted out of life.

I was really hoping for Allison Brie.

You're… A… crook, Captain Hook.
Judge, won't you throw the book, at the piraaate!

I thought the performances have been incredibly uneven. The couple who were on their first tinder date in episode 2 or 3 was some of the worst acting I'd seen on TV in the last few years and I was stunned they let that through. Some of the other performances, I've definitely felt were not delivered convincingly as…

I think the intention the writers are going for is that everyone is deeply flawed and that, in order to make it to this level of society, you have to be deeply flawed in many ways. I don't think the writers are really casting judgement on any of the characters, even Axe. It's far more interested in examining the…

Except the butter ad write presumably lived in New York, right? There's an organized gang of prostitutes breaking up marriages across the country!

So one thing I loved about this episode was the genuine debate between Bryan's "You didn't build anything, you're just takers" and Wendy's "The reason I'm staying is because I built this, just as much as you did". This is a genuine tension that exists in Finance, it's not an industry that produces any kind of tangible…

White person shitty, not average person shitty!

"he is not the throws of devastation" -> not in the throes
"Why can’t I be loved to?" -> too

Billions is an incredibly frustrating show to watch because it's becoming increasingly more clear that the writers deeply get the world of Finance. They're approaching the world from an insider's perspective and trying to grapple with big ideas that are both specific and universal, ideas that are deeply relevant to…

No, that was the joke. The show is clearly a deconstruction of a specific slice of life of people and a satire through and through. It's been that way from the start and will continue to the very last episode. It's never been unclear about its intentions.

Equal first with Zissis' hair plugs.

It's what Valencia drinks of Crazy Ex-Girlfriend!

Man, there's a unique douchiness of the ugly guy who finally gets a girl way out of his league and now wants everyone in the world to know it and this show managed to nail that dynamic perfectly.

The show laid out it's thesis bare from the very first episode: "I think I'm the voice of my generation… or at least, a voice of a generation". It's always been very clear from the beginning what the show is and I feel like the people who dispute it are being wilfully obtuse in many ways.

Did you notice her brass knuckles iPhone case? Props to the props department for finding the one item that condenses down the sheer fractal awfulness of that character.

Disagree, it was an A+ episode for me. Maybe absence made my heart grow fonder but I don't think I've ever laughed harder at a Girls episode and everything about it reminded me of why I'm so glad it's back on TV.

I want a Better Call Saulesque spinoff of Ray: The Grad School Years. I'd be really interested in what Lena Dunham could do with a early 2000s period piece.

Don't forget "A boy band made up of four joshes who are also a team of nationally recognized mental health professionals trained in cognitive behavioral therapy with specialties in personality and sleep disorders… and love!"

When Gus mentioned that the date would require a dress code, I idly wondered if he would be taking her to the Magic Castle which revealed 5 minutes later, how uncomfortable close I am to Gus, except without the ability to date Gillian Jacobs :(.
