There has been some weird editing in this series.  Like, during the exorcism scene a couple eps back, why did Willow just disappear and how did he get up into the tower only a couple minutes after two people who have legs at least twice as long as his?

She calls him “Prince Chauncy McSleezoid” and uses a bunch of other phrases like “palace ditz” and “sicko fantasy”

And it was at this point I realized that I was perfectly okay with never watching another episode of this ever again. 

Don’t you worry about HBO Max, let me worry about blank.

Underling: “Wow the White Lotus numbers are great! We’re gonna make a lot of money on this one. Season 3 is going to rake in even more”

Will he get boneitus for his greed?  One can only hope!

Frank Stallone?

“Zaslav, who seems to actively hate movies and TV shows”

Zaslav is reminding me more and more of the 80s guy from ‘Futurama’ who didn’t know Planet Express was a delivery company before he bought it.

Even less cheap since WB cancelled the fifth season after all the actors had already signed binding contracts, so now the entire cast has to be paid 100% of their salaries for the season, without any of them actually having to do anything, and with zero chance of WB ever making back a penny of that investment.

Is this a case of “saving the company” or more of a “cut ALL the expenses so I can claim to have increased profits for a massive bonus before I jump ship on the drained husk of the once thriving company” situation?

I find it incredibly hard to believe that Westworld costs more to have on the channel than it generates in subscription revenue.

Love Life (which was great, btw), sure. Infinity Train (also great), probably.

But Westworld? There are people signing up specifically to see that show.

It’s starting to look like this isn’t…

Zaslav’s strategy seems to be the equivalent of “why don’t they make the whole plane out of the black box?” That’s a hacky punchline and so is he.

Jeez, is HBO gonna start charging for blue check marks now?

Welp, looks like its time to finally do what I was too cheap to do a decade ago and splurge on the complete The Wire box set so I can show my grandchildren what America was like

Oh, I think if you look around you’ll find there’s a whole torrent of ways to get it.

So basically Zaslav was brought in to smother HBO Max with a pillow? The Batgirl thing I could conceptualize as a viable way to take a tax write-off and save some money, but this just seems counter-productive. Just because something isn’t wildly profitable doesn’t mean it’s not still worth something. It feels less…

The guy running HBO sure does seem to suck. 

Why do people who don’t like things get put in charge of those things?

I don't believe Tonya was even smart enough to take the safety off the gun, let alone hit and kill everyone.
