Autistic Edgy Guy posted:ok this one is pretty on the nose, lol This episode was a stark illustration of how reality has outpaced this show. The Chinese collusion seems like something the Veep crew absolutely would have come up with themselves, especially with Selina unofficially accepting the deal on a whim in the middle of an unrelated press conference. A few years ago it would have blended into the show perfectly. But with the Mueller Report just being released, I thought the same thing -- this is a little on the nose. I like watching my comedy presidential candidate getting into their own inept fuckups, but it's a little less fun when they're doing the same inept fuckups that our real life comedy president got up to.

Selina is going to go into the convention thinking she has it in the bag and then Mike and Dan are going to bring her down and she has to give her delegates away. She hates everyone at this point and hands them off to Jonah Ryan as a gently caress you to the other candidates, is exonerated at the last minute, and takes the Veep slot.

On the same note, I've been watching Black Mirror for the first time and got to the Waldo episode, and said the same thing: "This is a little on the nose", especially when the serious MP candidate calls him out during the debate. Then I looked it up and saw that it came out in 2013.

Jonah will be the president and Richard will be his Chief of Staff, leading to Jonah being remembered as the greatest sitting president since Lincoln. Just full on Animal House ending.

Spacebump posted:I still firmly believe the only way this season ends is with Jonah as POTUS and Selena as VEEP. quote:This season would have seemed absurd pre-2016. https://twitter.com/Walldo/status/722213387128549376 There's no way this is a coincidence, right? It was a great setup and joke but I have to say I was hoping they'd stay a bit further from reality. Every show and comedian has been dunking on Trump constantly for two years and this poo poo is everywhere. It'd be nice to have some more fictional fuckups instead. PS. JINA IS A HOAX. NO COLLUSION!!

Yeah, this didn't work for me. Last season they really sidestepped having to deal with reality with the whole post-presidency thing (which I loved). But veering so heavily into Trump-land just feels lazy and a little too neat. I do like the idea of Selina giving her delegates to Jonah as a final gently caress you to the party; that's a great ending regardless if it comes to pass.

I'm digging glammed up amy at the end... oooOOOooOohhh yeahhhhh. That was sorta a shock to have Dan dropped at the end. Even more shocking he was in bed with Selina just prior to that.

It's not even the first time he's been fired by Selina right? I thought it fit together well enough from the sudden victory, the balloons, to Selina's new attitude of just doing whatever the gently caress she wanted. Obviously this has been her attitude all along, but at least now she's being honest about it.

I think it was more that in her mind now she doesn't need a campaign manager now because she has China.

Reality surpassed Veep in terms of lunacy so Veep had to dial it up to 12. A much more cartoony show for a much more cartoony reality. I love that every person on this show is just a completely inhuman monster. Selina has gone full supervillain.
