Also, you know now they've introduced an old-rear end former president that we're getting a presidential funeral sometime this season.

"The First Chubby" is the latest in a long series of great nicknames/insults in Veep history.

Also, I'm now super excited about next week. Gimme Minna Hockanen once a season for the rest of the series and I'll be very happy.

"Tell that to Zod's snapped neck!"

Y'know, as much as I hate the group being all split apart (and it has really been bad for Amy, as she's really, really isolated from everyone else), I think Dan as a CBS host who can jump in, poo poo all over our favorite people on live morning television, and go gently caress some ladies later is perfect. His interview with Amy was gold.

edit: also, i watched an episode of Law and Order the other day about people who sent their dying parents to a lovely doctor so they'd die during a year without an estate tax (which is a perfectly Law and Order scenario, really), but who would show up but Clea DuVall! She was playing a lesbian in love with a woman named Katherine, and the two of them were going to have a baby. Alas, no sign of Selina Meyer anywhere.

but when it did, it hit like a loving thunderbolt.

For real. Selina's almost completely unlikable at this point. I know she's supposed to be extremely desperate to get a modicum of recognition for her contributions but she's become so abrasive this season. I think they're also getting into "Meg from Family Guy" territory with Catherine, too.

The difference between this and Family Guy though (aside from the general quality of the writing) is that the only person who keeps insulting Catherine (and Mike) is Selena. Everyone on Family Guy takes shots at Meg all the time, this one is just Selena lashing out because she's no longer in power and Catherine actually has good things going for her.

I think Selena is getting worse, but it also makes sense for her. When she was president (and even Veep) there was a power structure in place that put her above 99.9% of everyone in the entire world, especially her staff. Now that she's not the president, she's lost her power, so she's lashing out. It mirrors how she felt about her mother (she is becoming her mother!), and if I had to guess, is a deliberate choice and not just a Flandersization of her character. Everyone on the show in her sphere of influence is getting more and more desperate because they have less and less power. Which is why Dan and Jonah, who are actually growing in stature in the world (not physically, thankfully for Jonah) don't seem as off; they're doing fine.

If there's any character who I think has been given the short end of the stick this season, it's Amy. She spent the first third of the season away from everyone else acting like the worst version of herself, and now that she's back with Selena she's just sitting in the background. I know there are a lot of characters in Veep, so not everyone is gonna get the attention they deserve, but she's not like Kent or Ben where them sitting back and making mean insults toward Jonah fits perfectly with where they are.

Jonah vs. Selina. Are they the same party? Is this going to be a primary battle or a presidential battle.

Or is Selina going to be Jonah's VP?

Either way, it looks like the show runners know they don't have too many seasons left, and they are going to give some awesome fan service on the way out.

Oh it's not just Jonah v. Selena (or v people who will eventually crash into each other, like Danny Chung who may or may not have lied about saving a man while he was a marine).

It's Grandma Selena. Amy and Dan having the world's least wanted child. Press liaison Leon West and Night School Teacher Mike. Jonah running for president with the crack team of a convicted felon, the man who molested him, his mother, and the tiny prison billionaire funding the whole embarrassing situation. And of course, getting pretty much the whole gang back together. It is just a shame that it took an entire year of episodes to get us to that point.
