I really liked the moments of Roman actually making Kendall smile in his despair. Showed Roman to be not just a narcissist, but trying to lighten the situation (maybe his only skill).

yeah i liked that too

it's so immensely perfect that Roman's entire concept of how to be funny is "put on a 'foppy British man' comedy voice"

was a nice touch how logan gave roman one last chance to be loyal before revealing that he had him beat

not sure how I initially misread Tom’s pitch to Greg in the moment“a deal with the devil” only means one thing on this show. there’s only one devil

Greg calling Roman a "sexual pervert" in front of the prinduchess was pretty good

great last ep in that it felt inevitable and you could put the pieces together (esp with Tom) but it felt like a surprise ending.
wonder if they'll flash forward a few years. . . Logan has a 3 year old and the baby becomes CEO

I did not like this season, I hate the music so much, the whole thing is shot like a calvin klein ad from back in the day, I can't believe every season of this show just sticks to the plot of that m&m sketch, the slave castration part was scene was the only good one I thought

I was about two-thirds negative about the first season, one-third with season two, and completely satisfied by this season. Most of the problems (I probably wrote about them early in this thread) had to do with waning credibility of moments episode by episode. The show has improved so much.
― ... (Eazy), Monday, 13 December 2021 17:57 (two years ago) link
There are so many things that objectively I recognize are fair criticisms of this show, and none of them bother me, and it just makes me think that maybe more shows should be extremely well-written and well-acted instead of being not so well written or well acted and then I would like them more

good acting and good writing are definitely good

The dialogue felt especially In the Loop on this last one.

What was it, "wizard of fuck" or something?

― change display name (Jordan), Monday, 13 December 2021 18:42 (two years ago) link
Gotta be honest, this episode is where the whole inserting "fuck" in place of another word kind of stopped being inspired and felt kind of lazy.

that particular move is not a strength of the show's writing

Can't tell if Bongo is telling us to fuck off or quoting one of his favorite verbal motifs from this well-written show

"just good" is what I'd call it, that still makes it way better than almost all other TV!

yeah, i agree with Jordan that it has vastly improved. it finally hooked me this season

the line was "let's see if Hans Christian Anderfuck is just telling us fairy tales" or somesuch which is more foregiveable

Yeah I liked that one, it was the "Wizard of Fuck" one later that had me rolling my eyes.

Exactly jaymc, ty. That got a little old in Veep, but it was almost a nice throwback here.

Funny how we lower the bar for mainstream entertainment, esp when it comes to internet lingo. "Some guy with an undercut just called me a soyboy" sounds au courant on a tv show but would sound unbearably passe/cringe on here or twitter (or anywhere on the web)
