Holy poo poo, I completely forgot about this coming back and also about POTUS resigning during the last finale. Also didn't look at any casting news, I love when Patton Oswalt just shows up in my favorite TV shows. This is gonna be amazing.

It's funny how when Selina talked poo poo about her daughter this episode I thought it was funny and went "haha, she's a horrible mom" but as soon as she started tearing into Gary I was like OH NO STOP THIS RIGHT NOW YOU'LL DESTROY HIM. And then he actually stood up for himself! That was even better than the two of them going nuts in a random bathroom last season. Also Jonah actually getting a flunky who thinks he's the coolest guy in the West Wing is gonna lead to great things.

This season's gonna be great and I hope it all culminates in a big anti-bullying hearing instigated by Dan, like the end of The Thick Of It. Like, he'll leak something about Patton constantly grabbing Jonah's balls and that leads to an investigation.

precision posted:I would say Brooklyn 9-9 and Veep have a lot in common, though Veep is more "adult" and also funnier. I do like Brooklyn 9-9 a lot though, it's pretty far from a "poo poo" comedy. :\

Next season's for sure, HBO probably wants to see how the show does without Iannucci too.

Watching the first scene again and yeah, it really seems to imply she's on something. Her reaction to Catherine's engagement seemed perfectly normal for her though, just immediately making it about herself. "You're not getting engaged, I'm only 48!"

So Ben didn't get fired because he fell asleep when while she was firing him last episode? Amy's meltdown was fantastic. This is what frustration looks like. Kinda disappointed both Lennon Parham and Patton Oswalt seem to be gone already though. How is Bill Erickson not her new campaign manager, I thought that's what he does? Kleptobot posted:This is going to end with Hugh Laurie as POTUS and Selina back to VP, right? This would be kind of obvious but yeah, probably. Or maybe Pierce is gonna rise to power and end up as POTUS somehow because "you can make inept work". Who knows.

I like the little reminders that, no matter how much Mike gets poo poo on or how depressed he gets he still has by far the healthiest home life of any character on the show. Also the second-to-last episode title this season is Testimony so I guess the data breach is gonna blow the gently caress up next week.

StoneOfShame posted:Ok serious question with regards to this and maybe you know more than I, so if you do I'm being naïve and just correct me but aren't these sort of seasons filmed over a very short amount of time so if he wanted to he could perhaps only be in the US for a couple of weeks to film a while season. Again, as I said correct me if my assumptions are incorrect. Iannucci's leaving the show and going back to the UK after this season too but he's also a producer / director / writer, which makes it more of a full-time gig.

Is ... Is this actually a real thing? Can a real-life presidential election end in a loving tie? I really need more of that scene where Jonah tries out his best standup material and bombs horribly.
