Yeah, I know it will, it's just strange to me that there's been even one episode (other than the flashback) that wasn't all about the 3 dead people.

The fact that everyone immediately and permanently forgot about the corpses when they found out their father might be (gasp!) dating again is the most Gemstone thing possible.

i think it would have been weird if they talked about the corpses in the flashback episode, not to mention anachronistic.

look you gotta understand something about HBO shows they tend to just stack up as many predicaments as possible upon the main character before wrapping anything up

I just binged through all of this and it is very good.

Is younger Eli CGI or just heavy on makeup and prosthetics? It looks off and in the uncanny valley but I can’t pinpoint why.

Whatever the effects, it's probably going to seem uncanny to anyone that remembers what John Goodman actually looked like 30 years ago.

My girlfriend and I were floored by how good it was. The poster up thread that said it looked like a thinner version of him from Roseanne was dead on and I bet they were correct in assuming that’s what they trained the de-aging AI with.

Mostly makeup and only showing his face and hands, after that and lighting it's not hard to subtract 30 years

Yeah, he definitely wants Eli out of the way to scam money out of his dumbass son. I'm still undecided on if he had anything to do with the cabin murders or if that's a separate thing though.

I think the Lissons killed Jason Schwartzman. And did the other violence too, but definitely Jason Schwartzman. They knew he'd come their way eventually and hit pay dirt, so they decided to take him out ahead of time.

The preview for the next episode leaves Eli's fate unclear. Guess we will have to tune in next week.

Assuming they’re planning for this to be another 9-episode session, that’s a lot to resolve with just 3 episodes left.

My money’s on “separate thing”, but I don’t have any solid theory on who’s behind it.

It seems like there are a couple things that went down there but it does kind of feel like the Cycle Ninjas were probably involved

I do wonder if they were after Eli for some unrelated shadiness from his past but I think if they were going for that there would have been more hints in the flashback. Lisson definitely seems like the frontrunner, he's the best fit for motive + resources + theatricality to assemble a coordinated neon biker hit squad.

Neon biker hit squad, wants to kill Eli and Jesse...Kelvin!*

*Not really

Also zero percent chance Eli is dead. It didn't even cross my mind as a possibility until I looked at this thread.

yeah preview for next week was deliberately ambiguous but gave me the impression he's probably alive but in critical condition. Amber talking about doing a hash tag for him and the general tone of the scenes seem a little light to make sense if he's dead.
