 The funeral scene was top notch. Can somebody gif the pure joy on Chuck's dad's face as he watched it all go down and the FBI bust in the room. Man that must have been a hosed up childhood.

Also great when he's standing on the development site. "When you're in the penthouse God looks up to you" and the reply, "Hey we need to take those expectations down a notch".



Awesome. There was an even better one right before that when the FBI busts in and everybody starts looking around and Sr. has a giant poo poo eating grin on his face.

 Chuck's dad continues to be the best. The slinky and his comment that it he is still playing with it tomorrow they should put all their energies into the girl is perfect. As was his night soil comment.

 Why no episodes this week? Is it a break due to pandemic not allowing them to finish editing the season? How long do we wait?

 Next season was always going to be the last I believe.

Prince's biggest mistake was costing a guy who is addicted to revenge his company and reputation, then handing him TWO BILLION DOLLARS and letting him leave the country. Axe is the guy who hosed over a former mentee because they had the sheer GALL to give the money Axe gave him back. And I can't recall it off the top of my head, but I guarantee that this Axe/Pence rivalry started over some petty billionaire bullshit, and it still escalated like crazy.

Chuck can scheme against Prince all he wants, but it seems like a real lapse on the writer's part if Prince doesn't end up 100% ruined (somehow worse than locked up in prison; also somehow penniless) at Axe's hand, even if we never see Axe onscreen again. I'd bet on Axe to pull that off if he was on the run with a mere couple hundred million to his name. Honestly, what else is he going to do with his time?

I remember a time when he said to somebody who hated his guts that he'd give him something ridiculous like a billion dollars to do what he wanted, then said of course he wasn't going to pay him that but the guy would take it if he offered. It's easy for me to picture Axe tossing that billion at someone or a select group of people to get that sweet, sweet revenge on the guy that finally beat him at his own game.

Axe in exile with no Wendy there to talk him out of his worst impulses or keep his psyche on track is a really tantalizing prospect, which makes me all the sadder that Lewis isn't returning. Hopefully they still manage to make that whole situation play out in a satisfying way in the end.

It'd kind of be brilliant in its own way to do a full season 6 with no Axe/Lewis, then get most of the way through 7 and have Axe/Lewis return like a goddamn tornado and blow up everything and everyone in the final arc.

This next season is the last.

 Yeah tbh I'm liking this season way more than I thought I would. I'm down for another.

 The episode was titled burn rate. They (at times) were trying to show how much money Prince was burning to land the Olympics. No idea why they also showed the outfit costs other than a more in your face way to show how obscene everybody on the show is.

 Surprised there hasn't been a new thread in so long. Series finale is next week. This season has been the best one in quite a while. Really enjoying it.

 It's horrible and that's why I love it. It's so over the top and probably what most of America thinks the totally super genius billionaires talk and operate like. Every other sentence is a reference. It's great.

 For fun I put on the pilot after I watched the finale and holy poo poo I forgot about the insane very first scene lmao. It was also fun seeing how different the characters were at first before everybody embraced the over the top fun of it all.

Does it open with Wendy and Chuck at the dominatrix? Or am I misremembering things?

I do remember Wags being very different in the pilot. Almost like Tuck

It's Chuck tied up and Wendy puts a cigarette out on his chest then says "here let me make it better" and pisses on him.

Yeah wags is different, they all actually are. Like you can see the seeds of what they become later but it's got quite a different tone than later seasons when they leaned into the ridiculousness.
