Yeah, I don't think Tom James as President is guaranteed at all. Veep's finales have a way of scrambling the new status quo.

STAC Goat posted:I assume that either now that Selina isn't prez Mike will keep his job or that President Tom James will keep him on or assign him to Jonah's old job or something just to torture Selina. Yeah, she's going to be once again an irrelevant and powerless political presence so all those top level people in Mike's field she was just interviewing aren't going to want her PR rep job anymore so she might as well stick with the incompetent but harmless dude she knows

Hollismason posted:Selina becoming President again through the incompetence of others and replacing a incredibly popular president would be fantastic. Like she just keeps getting "half" terms as President. Last time she became president through no effort on her part. If they go this route again, I'd love it if Selina orchestrated Tom James' downfall personally.

I'm kind of hoping that the writers are relying on American ignorance of the political system to pull a fast one and her staff just thinks it's over, but the Speaker gets annoyed at Tom for some reason and cake another vote and she wins it. Still JLD killed it in that last scene Auth everyone applauding her.

There have been 10 new bonus scenes added on Catherine's film website since the last time I checked (19 bonus scenes, 7 extra interviews total): https://www.kissingyoursisterfilm.com/bonusscenes/

"A magical-realist re-imagining of 75 hours in the life of Amelia Earhart after her fateful plane crash and her spiritual awakening and metaphysical transformation on a deserted South Seas island that may be more than what it appears. Based on the unpublished short story “I, Amelia.” I have an MFA. That is entirely too accurate a descriptor.

I think this means there's going to be a recount of some sort but honestly, this episode almost felt like a series finale. That long shot of Selina stoically listening to the parade in the background was very "this is it, boys."

It was the series finale of Selina's time in the White House.  Or maybe not? Maybe they will do some recount thing but I wouldn't know.Hollismason posted:Also what was the deal with Catherine's hard drive? Did she have her film on there? I got the impression that Selina wanted to either use or get rid of incriminating evidence that was in Catherine's files for the movie. A highlight for me was when Richard found Jonah the interns that Jonah didn't realize he wanted.

Her plan at the end of the House vote was to get Jonah to vote against her so she could run in 4 years. Since it wasn't her party's candidate who is President I assume she could still do that?

Yeah, ultimately this is kind of what she wanted at the end of the previous episode? I don't see the show doing a time jump, but I could see them running with her in the private sector for two seasons, then jumping back into a big campaign mode for a final season? Also not sure what the Nevada votes means going forward. Will it be addressed or brushed under the table because the source won't actually inform the actual Selina?

Narcissus1916 posted:Yeah, I don't think Tom James as President is guaranteed at all. Veep's finales have a way of scrambling the new status quo. YAAAAAS. Then again, I'm shocked they went this far. As a history nerd I loving love it. Being an ex-president is an untapped vein for tv or movies. Hell, Carter and Nixon were conducting secret talks and basically running shadow diplomacy missions at various points. This is what I literally begged Scandal to do, given how they've exhausted every possible story with Fitz.

That was probably the most depressing episode all season. Zero One posted:Her plan at the end of the House vote was to get Jonah to vote against her so she could run in 4 years. Since it wasn't her party's candidate who is President I assume she could still do that? Her opponent would be a sitting president who freed Tibet within minutes of her presidency and got a Nobel piece price for it. How could she ever compete with that? Montez ist the worst. That fake Mexican show is really awful.

Literally the entire season was setting up punchlines to a string full of jokes in episode 9. What an amazing episode. It's a bummer that it doesn't work as a standalone because it relies so heavily on watching everything up to this point pretty closely and you have to watch basically 48 episodes for it to make sense why this is one of my favorite comedy episodes ever. Edit: I have not watched the finales for any of the HBO shows yet

Obviously not as funny as episode 9 but still fantastic. I'm looking forward to next season already because they could go so many different directions. I'm picturing a hosed up version of the classic Muppets "gotta get the gang back together!" scenario. Mike is Fozzie Bear, of course.
