for a show that has pretty short episodes, and short seasons, I really feel like they've been milking things since episode 5.
not that it wasn't 'good' per se, but there's been a lot of wheel spinning ever since episode 5.

Yeah with only two episodes left I was surprised a lot more didn’t happen there but the finale oughta be pretty good

Alright now I think Amber is behind everything.

well she did shoot one of them so

I haven’t charted out how it makes sense or anything, just have a feeling that’s where they’re going with it.
― Chris L, Monday, 21 February 2022 14:58 (two years ago) link
it still doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me since Eli was supposed to be on that bus and unless I'm forgetting something Amber didn't seem to put up much of a fight getting on it herself. also the Lissons are definitely involved, didn't they mention early on that they ran some charity for troubled teens or something? so that's who the cycle ninjas were. the idea that they would go through all this for just a $10m investment is kinda nuts so there's likely a bit more to the story. and it's still unclear what happened to the reporter and the two other people at his place. obviously the implication is that Junior did it but it kinda seems that he's just a low level goon? were any of those guys ever shown actually killing anyone?

I don't think that was anything, just poking around to see if Eli would reveal anything. Junior did say that he came by to talk to him so I'm guessing the story was actually about Eli's wrestling goon past
I don't think Eli murdered anyone but I would guess that next week we're gonna find out that the story about why he had blood on his pants was not exactly true
― frogbs, Tuesday, 22 February 2022 17:37 (two years ago) link
yeah I think the dirt on Eli's wife was basically the reporter trying to 'relieve' Eli into thinking he didn't know anything about the REAL shit he was up to in his past, and that he'd be more willing to give a softball interview about his wife's rudeness and as a side benefit, could show he didn't duck teh reporter. but Eli don't roll that way.
― sorry Mario, but our princess is in another butthole (Neanderthal), Tuesday, 22 February 2022 17:44 (two years ago) link
Eli killed the reporter.
the reporter secretly sent back a video to his family back home and said IF I'M NOT HOME IN ONE WEEK, CALL THESE PEOPLE.
which were his motorcycle mafia friends. who he also bought drugs from.

I don't think Eli or any of the other Gemstones are murderers. besides Tiffany of course

i was thinking Amber maaaybe but reporter theory seems more “plausible”… not that anything is really actually plausible lolhow good was Macaulay tho love a Culkin!
― terminators of endearment (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 22 February 2022 18:41 (two years ago) link
right Amber willingly stepping into a bus she knew Eli was going to be murdered in doesn't make sense BUT I did think the Gemstones maybe had their own drivers so the motorcycle crew knowing where they'd be was kind of odd. idk this show stretches reality quite a bit so I'm expecting something crazy
that said the one thing that really bothers me is that "Eli Gemstone" is his actual name, even when he was a goon slumming it in Memphis.
and yeah Macaulay Culkin was great, perfect casting

What a weird, goofy, bizarre show.

one weird thing someone noticed is if you freeze frame the receipt of Baby Billy's purchases you find out the show is set in October 2022

maybe we’ll get the gravy machine by then

Saw a good theory that Kelvin might actually be the only one with real god-fueled powers. He prayed his father back to life, he bore the cross, he converted Satanist Keefe (more than once) and rescued him from the Goth rave tank, and so on.
― Josh in Chicago, Wednesday, 23 February 2022 16:42 (two years ago) link
interesting. yeah i was surprised to see him succeed this time at bearing the cross and have it not be explained beyond just that he was even madder than before (i guess?)
― nobody like my rap (One Eye Open), Wednesday, 23 February 2022 17:11 (two years ago) link
same, i expected a reveal of him rigging it somehow. it doesn't seem like the show's style to include actual supernatural elements but i guess anything's possible
― karl...arlk...rlka...lkar..., Wednesday, 23 February 2022 17:36 (two years ago) link
ha i was gonna say the opposite honestly, i can totally imagine some kind of gonzo finale that includes someone ascending to heaven or an angel beating someones ass or something
― nobody like my rap (One Eye Open), Wednesday, 23 February 2022 17:46 (two years ago) link
(although i can just as easily imagine a nonspiritual finale that reveals he cheated somehow)
― nobody like my rap (One Eye Open), Wednesday, 23 February 2022 17:49 (two years ago) link
i just attributed Kelvin's feat to cinematic adrenaline, similar to how there have been IRL anecdotes of people of average build lifting a car or doing other impossible feats of strength in times of danger.
i am coming around to Amber doing it, in a way. esp since they didn't reveal the Lissons AND, Eli's dad comes around to giving them the money for the Lissons, but he only tells Jesse and not Amber, and Amber is still frustrated that he's not been elevated to his position.
perhaps she thought the heroism would ward Eli off if he heard his own kid got shot at.
idk
― sorry Mario, but our princess is in another butthole (Neanderthal), Wednesday, 23 February 2022 17:53 (two years ago) link
also she knew about Junior, and knew he could be an easy fall guy
― sorry Mario, but our princess is in another butthole (Neanderthal), Wednesday, 23 February 2022 17:54 (two years ago) link
she could easily shoot the motorcycle gang, too, they probably don't know who hired them
― sorry Mario, but our princess is in another butthole (Neanderthal), Wednesday, 23 February 2022 17:57 (two years ago) link
Given this show, I can imagine it concluding with Kelvin beating Satan in a rap battle.
― Josh in Chicago, Wednesday, 23 February 2022 17:58 (two years ago) link
well Baby Billy did have an NDE and in the last episode its revealed that he believes himself to be communicating with Aimee-Leigh from beyond the grave
Amber's involvement does make sense but I still don't feel she would willingly get on the bus if she knew Eli was gonna get murdered in it. either way it seems like the goal is beyond that $10,000,000 investment now
― frogbs, Wednesday, 23 February 2022 18:13 (two years ago) link
my brother pointed out that Amber knew that Eli was being moved from the hospital, so idk the benefit of willingly sending the gang to the wrong place.
re: the bus, if she set it up, then she told them to miss intentionally. it does seem hard to believe semi-automatic weapons at that distance spraying that area didn't even nick them.
