I had doubts about Eli's cover story but when they revealed he used to be a wrestler, they all went away because wrestlers are pretty stupid.

Still weird Eli seemed to get no repercussions from breaking his son's thumbs in front of many people.

limp_cheese posted:I know I've mentioned it before but I like they try to make Eli an actually godly man that tries to be honest and humble. Yes his wealth is the glaring contradiction but he still tries. Amen. The show's master stroke so far has been making him ruthless in terms of growing his congregation and business - but never doing so forgoing his belief. quote:Still weird Eli seemed to get no repercussions from breaking his son's thumbs in front of many people. Well, they're a forgiving people, those religious folk. Also read up about Jerry Falwell Jr. or more damning, Jim Bakker.

You can tell that Eli wants to be big and successful first and foremost because he genuinely believes in his mission and wants to be able to reach more people, which leads to inner conflict when he periodically strays and gets caught up in chasing success for its own sake.SirPablo posted:Still weird Eli seemed to get no repercussions from breaking his son's thumbs in front of many people. It was technically self defense, and he is a rich white guy.

Yeah to me there’s no doubt that the Gemstones believe, they have a hard time actually following the path of Christ but they know God is watching.

On the other, I suspect a good portion of those attending BJ's baptism would have grown up seeing instances of "kids behind the curtain" over the years, and would have reacted to Eli's actions with "About drat time!"

My husband and I have a theory that Jesus does love the Gemstones. Our main support for this (aside from the fact that when things tend to work out for them somehow) is that once a season there's a very subtle but fantastic song where a chorus sings "Jesus loves the Gemstones" a few times. This happened in season 1 when gunfire erupts during the blackmail exchange and Scotty gets run over https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L9Tk38kgrT0 (1 min 6 seconds in) and in season 2 in episode 7 it chimes in the moment after Jesse says "oh god, please allow me to win" (or please let me win I dunno) right before he returns fire on the cycle ninjas at the hospital and finally hits one. (31:55 timestamp in the episode itself)

Rewatching the 1st season again and noticed whenever Eli draws a gun he is using the gold plated gun he took from the guy his dad killed. Nice bit of continuity.

Just finished this season. Not as good as the first one but it still has a lot of great moments. I appreciated that we finally got more Eric Andre at the end.

Vice Principals did a masterful job of that whole "wow, I can't believe they're going to do this awful thing to Dr Brown because they're so racist" but it really wasn't because they were racist, just absolutely terrible insecure people. Also, Gamby hating Ray and Ray being super-cool and reasonable never stopped being great.

Also nice to see the dude playing Ray not playing an rear end in a top hat character for once. Though his finest moment is saying "Whoa" about fifty times in a row in Bad Lieutenant.

I'm sure I've seen him in a bunch of other stuff, and yeah, it was good to see him here play the absolutely unshakeable good guy.

Gemstones is putting in the work to replace it but my favorite Goggins line of all time is still currently "I will dig up all your fuckin kimchee!" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BD8vRxM2WfE Something about the line itself and the read of it makes me laugh every time I think about it.

The football acid scene is probably one of my favorite drug scenes in a show Extremely real vibes to decide that living under the bleachers is something you can do until you come back down

I can't find the exact quote, but when Goggins is going on about "Ray being a stupid loving name" and what a dumb name it is for a "nemesis" killed me. Also, I rewatched the first three seasons of Eastbound. I really didn't think the humor would hold up, but it absolutely does. However, I always swore I saw the entire show and now realize that I never actually saw the fourth season. So I'm going to see the series finale for the first time at some point in the next week.

That said, it's really good and I'd recommend sticking with it.

I also can't get Eastbound to stick even though I love nearly everything else Danny McBride has ever been in. I just really don't like Kenny Powers maybe, he's too much on the rear end in a top hat spectrum.
