Another episode that went by way too fast. Gene's off script outburst is definitely gonna make it into the show, and I'm gonna guess that it's gonna spark more offers from Hollywood. Tension's ratcheting up, next week can't come soon enough. And man do I want to see Fuches eat poo poo, he's such a scummy character and I love it.

It's crazy, because listening to Bill with that in mind, it's completely obvious, Root isn't even changing his voice very much. And I used to love Newsradio and Office Space, too, it's not like I didn't know who the guy was.

He looked genuinely happy with his goats and NoHo Hank's sister(?) or mother (?) or cousin(?). It was worth it though just for the scene of him telling Hank he is staying. Just shocking everyone with that.

Aye Doc posted:new episode was real good. kinda just want this season to end with Gene strangling Barry to death while everyone watches and cheers There's already been a confirmation for season 4. The good news (aside from getting more of this show) is that they got the go-ahead for both S3 and S4 at once, or at least relatively close together, so the writing will obviously reflect that, and there won't be some weird unresolved/retcon/weird restart that some shows have when they don't know if they'll get another season.

That's my least favorite story of the 6, and outside of the recitation of Ozymandias at the beginning the whole thing is really slow and boring, and yes the end is dumb and needlessly cruel. It sucks. BUT. After that you get to watch Tom Waits dig for gold and commune with nature for 20 minutes (I'd give it a B, non-Waits fans maybe a C) but after that is The Girl Who Got Rattled which may be one of my favorite Coen Brothers things full stop. It's based on a short story that is maybe 5 pages long, and the amount that they're able to draw out of such a small piece of source material blows my mind. The last story is a bottle episode of people telling stories in a haunted(?) stagecoach. It's fine.

I laughed pretty hard at the reveal that a: the show starred Mark Paul Gosselaar and b: that it had one of those stupid cutesy names. Also Natalie doing a very poor job reassuring Katie by mentioning that Barry had killed people before.

demostars posted:I'm guessing with how early things are Cousineau isn't getting written off "Laws of Humanity," but does anyone else think that the delivery of his off-script line is reminiscent of Barry's delivery of his line in Hamlet in S1? Both are reliving one of their most traumatic moments while acting, but Gene, either through rustiness or being at root a worse actor than Barry, breaks from what he's "supposed" to say. Oh Gene's ad-lib is absolutely supposed to mirror Barry, and I really liked that bit of story-telling. Both Hader and Winkler have been acting their asses off this season, their pain and despair is almost infectious at times, they do a fantastic job portraying people who have just plain broken down inside. Also god drat this season is daaaark. And good. It really should have hour long episodes though. Dick Jones posted:The phone call scenes between LA and Chechnya should have had drastically different sunlight. Deducting one star from my rating for this week's episode. Yea, I didn't even know he was in Chechnya, I thought they just drove him off to a farm a few hours away and had those people stay with him so he doesn't run away/kill him when they get the order. I must have missed when they said it. It could be the sun like you said, because it doesn't look all that "out-of-country" as much as it looks like a cruddy shack with a goat farm.

Great episode, but not as exciting as the previous one, which mixed comedy and drama amzingly. Will Barry have to kill the costar of the show? It's building up to something

The Chechens probably drugged him and told him he was in Chechnya, when in fact he's just in the Santa Ynez Valley.

I also think he's not really in Chechnya, but rather he was made to believe he is, so he wouldn't run away from the barn in California they got him stashed at. This show is otherwise pretty attentive to detail, so it seems weird that they'd mess up a basic detail like european timezones.

My favorite thing was the Chech mob boss being like 'Yeah you're right, this isn't worth it, I'll take the boys out to lunch then bounce.' You know they're going to be on the way to the airport and then get hit by Noho's guys, causing them to stay and fight it out. I'd also guess that Barry kills them all in the last episode but that would be a retread of the end of last season so

Takes No Damage posted:Well, Noho did say they'd booked him a return flight. Yeah, Fuches is an idiot but even he would have sensed something was up if the plane trip to Grozny only took an hour & change. I have a gut feeling Fernando has sensed Cristobal's weakness and is just humoring him with the decision to let the soldiers down easy. Nobody rises to that status and just shrugs & walks away from free LA real estate.
