I think it could be a funny premise for someone outside the family to hear that Kelvin has a boyfriend and when they come to the church to find out more/do a puff piece?/confront the gemstones?, they assume that its BJ. Then they could confront him about his relationship with a Gemstone in a scene where both of them are talking past one another and making assumptions that the other knows what they're talking about. Especially considering BJ's shunning of traditional conservative values, and his general confidence and demeanor I think there's something there and it could lead to an amusing payoff.

My preferred way to watch the show is that god is real and helps out the Gemstones once per season or so. Edit: he will be played by Steve Little

idk about true to the faith necessarily. I read it more as a "special Providence for fools, drunkards, and children" kind of thing.

I somewhat wish that this was the last season because I thought the final scene was about as perfect a coda as I could imagine. but I also thought this about the S1 ending and we’ve gotten two entertaining seasons of tv beyond that, so what do I know. I’m a little tired of having Jesse (and to a lesser extent, Kelvin and Judy) start each season having forgotten the lessons they learned at the end of the previous one and acting regressively selfish, entitled, and pigheaded, but it’s a minor quibble when the rest of the show is so entertaining. I think my favourite part of S3 was seeing the budding affection Keefe shows BJ - BJ’s face watching Keefe’s fire dance, BJ calling Keefe over from the bushes, the grandiose bow Keefe gives him and Amber, and the proud look BJ gets when Kelvin plants one on Keefe. BJ was in a similar outsider’s position until he got shot in the leg - he knows what it’s like. this was the season BJ became one of my favourites and I am rooting for him to pull a Wambsgans and end up on top of it all, even if they’ve really been setting up Gideon as the do-no-wrong scion

It's wild to me that the most crowd-pleasing show McBride and Hill have put out is the one with a man helicoptering his penis in the pathtub.

Oh wait, no, you're a moron with the reading comprehension of a five year old. The show this very thread is about is brilliantly smart, with great characterization and growth, the best costumes in the world and doesn't waste time with bullshit. It doesn't need to spoon feed you with moral lessons or have a "very special episode". It's entertainment, not an after school special, and it's drat good at it.

Not that it matters because the show doesn’t take itself seriously enough for me to care, but I did find it funny that they faced no legal repercussions after doing a kidnapping that the fbi was well aware of, blowing up a parking lot and then building another bomb, that also blew up.

I've said it before, but when this was featured at the very end of, I think, S01E01, I loved it, and hoped it'd be a regular cut, but... No. And I think it should be. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x9UV58U9DyU

Had a Gemstone dream. Keef had let fame go to his head and hired body doubles from among the staff. The rest of the dream focused on the functionaries of the organization, but had one good line: “This here is a guaranteed hernia free Pharaoh for the play. He has to pay US if he gets a hernia*.” Kelvin was out of sorts because one of the brothers from Hanson had died. Nobody knew which brother it was from hearing the name but made the exact same wrong guess (“It was the youngest… Who wrote the songs?”). * This line would also fit perfectly on “I think you should leave”.

A Hanson brother dying and no one having one sweet clue which on it is, even after seeing and hearing them talk about him, would be a great gag for any show.

Obviously the locusts are a biblical allusion, but it is interesting how flying insects played a pivotal role in two of the season finales. If the Montgomery’s remain on the show next season, I wonder how they’ll explain Peter Montgomery not being in prison for leading a right wing militia and constructing two truck bombs. Keep him a secret with a new identity? Combination of a deal and lying about who made the bombs? Eli using his connections to have the feds turn a blind eye?

I still lose my mind at this bit from Vice Principals: Lee Russell (Goggins): Look at you, looking like a cystic fibrosis commercial! Neil Gamby (McBride): Ain't nobody got cystic fibrosis! Russell: Maybe! Or maybe you just ain't been diagnosed yet!
