  1. Perhaps this season is a slow burn but I’m loving it.
  2. I wanted Mark to follow Gemma out the door, but I also realized their combined escape would make it difficult to have an interesting plot for season 3, which I hope we are getting. So from a storytelling standpoint, I thought the ending was great. Gemma seems to be free from her torture and I think innie Mark S and Helly can fight their own fight for a while longer. There is a possible way for a happy ending that doesn’t involve “killing” the innies. They could have their outies report to the birthing cottage for a few hours each week and let their innies hang out in a place that’s much better than the Lumon severed floor. Or possibly get Ms. Cover to help them develop an entirely new retreat for the innies. The minor issue here is that outie Helena is currently a villain, so they would need her to be permanently switched to innie Helly or somehow change her outie’s character arc to be more sympathetic.
  3. I wondered about the Helly / Helena situation at the end. It seemed like Helly the entire episode until that moment, but her sudden presence in the hallway felt like a desperate attempt by Helena to manipulate Mark. I suppose they have the ability to flip her switch between innie and outie at any given moment, kind of a reverse OTC. So in the middle of the chaos, when Dylan was standing up to Milchick, they could’ve switched her back to Helena to try to salvage the situation.
  4. Mr. Drummond’s death was fantastic.
  5. That was intense. What an episode of television.
  6. Had to pronounce people dead during residency. Had a few really bad ones. Don’t miss that. I can’t ever remember seeing a traumatic death outside of a medical situation.
  7. The mental gymnastics by Trump supporters these last couple of months are quite remarkable.
  8. It’s not the shipping. It’s the subpar American wine that’s the problem.

  10. Well okay, my comment still applies to these 2 dildos standing in front of a Tesla on the White House lawn.
  11. This is so fucking pathetic. The POTUS trying to help his billionaire buddy save a falling stock price. So embarrassing to be an American these days.
  12. And season 2 had hot Italian hookers.
  13. Same here. My only minor complaint is that we had 2 episodes in a row that didn’t include Dylan, Irv, Helly, etc. Other than that, I’m really enjoying season 2.
  14. They finished 2nd on their half and he was super pissed at the finish line. I feel sorry for his wife if she has a slip up at some point.
  15. It seems like maybe Harris would’ve been better for the economy. Like perhaps, just maybe a guess here, but the American economy is naturally strong as long as we don’t elect a president who picks a trade war with every American ally. I’m not an economist though. Also, I look forward to $20 eggs.
  16. Well yeah, but he could be scoping out tourists from afar and using Chloe to lure in potential targets, whether she is part of his scheme or merely an unsuspecting pawn. He’s supposedly wealthy with a house overlooking the ocean and a huge boat and an attractive French girlfriend, yet he spends a lot of time hanging out at the resort and allowing random annoying Americans to mooch off of him. Something doesn’t add up. Maybe it’s nothing. Not every character in the first 2 seasons was integral to the murder plot. Some of them are just there for drama.
  17. Did the Ratliff family end up on Greg’s boat merely due to Saxon having an interest in Chloe, or is it possible that Greg is still swindling people and sees them as a potential target? You would think he is pretty well set with Tanya’s money, but maybe he’s burned through a lot of it. The scene where Greg approached Timothy Ratliff at the bar made it look like he had an agenda, and I wonder if Chloe is helping him draw these people in.
  18. It would be hard to argue with anything he said. We are traitors and assholes and we have a jester drunk on ketamine who is tasked with dismantling our country. Really weird to think back on US History classes and every 4th of July and family trips to Washington DC and the national anthem at countless sporting events and the immense national pride post 9/11 and how I feel each time I watch Band of Brothers, and now realize that I might be alive to watch it all crumble because 82 million ignorant misinformed selfish racist gullible dickheads voted for a fat man with a shitty spray tan and a comb over. Depressing doesn’t even begin to describe it.
  19. Well we did end up going for 4 nights last week and it was great. Don’t ask me about activities because we didn’t do shit. Stayed at Ma’xanab, laid on the beach, read some books, ordered food service at the beach, slept on our beach bed, drank carajillos, drank rosé, banged in the room a bunch, ate expensive dinners that were so tasty, and made sure our night caps had night caps. The weather was amazing and we lived like lazy kings. Would do again.
  20. Meh. If he gets Luigi’ed tomorrow I’ll drink 2 nice bottles of champagne.
  21. I like Helly but it’s very easy for me to root for the Mark and Gemma reunion as the eventual outcome. That was true prior to this episode, but now we’ve been given so much depth to the Mark and Gemma relationship and seen their true happiness prior to their infertility heartbreak (that was likely entirely orchestrated by Lumon). Innie Mark and Helly don’t have that and possibly never will. For this show to have a happy ending (not saying it will, just saying as a viewer I would prefer that), we need Outie Mark to prevail, or the unsevered version of him. That version of Mark is loyal to Gemma and would view Helly as a work fling in a time of confusion and distress. He would probably wish for the best for her but abandon any romantic feelings. I’m hoping there’s a way for Innie Helly to be permanently awakened and Outie Helena to cease to exist. Then she can find her own happiness on the outside.
  22. That seems like the most likely explanation. For starters, if Lumon was grooming Gemma and Mark for their sadistic plan, why would they risk Gemma being seriously injured and ruining the plan? Much easier to fake her death entirely without ever putting her in jeopardy. Secondly, her body was burned and Mark had her remains. The very nature of the body being burned raises serious doubt that it was ever her to begin with. I think even Mark realized this new possibility when he mentioned the remains.
  23. Entertainment is more expensive than it used to be. That’s not specific to movie theaters.
  24. I think you would like I Cheerfully Refuse.
