This was definitely the best episode of the season. The throat rip was completely unexpected and insanely  I was totally expecting one or both of the innkeepers to die so I'm glad they didn't. I was also expecting Ah Sahm to keep his english secret for longer, but now revealing his secret only strengthened his best bros bond with Young Jun. I wondered where they were shooting this series and it turns out it's in Cape Town, South Africa. Also  it's been renewed for season 2 already

Poor Young Jun. He's the complete opposite of his dad who is ice cold. He really should have stayed in green valley because he's too sentimental and caring for this. that guy who had valid complaints about Mai Ling and her thirst for power. Buckley is fantastic. He's working so many factions / angles and he's clearly sick of the Mayor's poo poo. I can't wait to see his endgame.

PaybackJack posted:In the beginning of the episode I almost wondered if we'd see a Game of Thrones esque twist with Asam getting killed, but they haven't quite built up the world enough that I think the show could stand to lose the main character. The speech from the Lady of the Whore House about how Asam lost because he wasn't fighting for a cause was an interesting line that I felt like could have worked to justify his death had he actually died. His story of coming over to find his sister, do the right thing and save her, only to get swept up in her gang war and killed, could have been a very good foundation on which to continue the story of "San Francisco". I guess it's too soon to hope for the next Thrones or The Wire but from what I've seen in this show, I kind of trust that Troper could pull it off. You know, now I am a little bit disappointed he didn't die. It could have worked too. It would have also finalized to the viewer that his sister really is gone and Mai Ling is who she is now, especially with her ordering his death.

"Don't you loving move." "poo poo." All the plots advanced a ton tonight. Ahaha watching Mai Ling's terrible partnership with the Fung Hai backfire spectacularly was fantastic. I bet she thought she would finally have some respect being the boss, but Buckley and the Fung Hai are still making GBS threads on her. She should get some women in power tips from Ah Toy or even Penelope. I am all in for Ah Sahm, Chinese gangster and part time revolutionary. PaybackJack posted:Young Jun asks him to come back early on in the episode because YJ thinks his old man is weak and that the old ways of doing things need to be changed. Right, but I'm pretty sure Father Jun is still in charge so Young Jun can't make that sort of call on his own. I'm just assuming he doesn't know right now and I trust the show will address it in season 2.

DeadFatDuckFat posted:Anyone watch the second season opener? I feel like I'm a bit more interested in the plot after watching it, as opposed to season one where I was basically just waiting for cool fights to happen I didn't even realize the show was back until this post. So thanks friend  The opener was good. This is the second and final season, so I'm curious if they will go the Rome season 2 route where they crammed in like 3 seasons worth of plot into one. iirc the annoucement was that this would last season was given at the same time as their renewal, so they probably had time to write a satisfying conclusion. I wonder what building Leary blew up at the end. I can't help but feel something horrible is going to happen to Sophie.

Storing the opium at Penny's factory was a brilliant move. Cops aren't going to search there. At least until Penny eventually finds out and burns all of it. Still not sure what the point of Sophie's character is.

That ending was intense. Guessing that was the Chao plan? Nvm it seems like Chao's plan was to tell Bill that Zing is the swordsman and lay a trap for him. Based on the preview it seems like Chao wanted Ah Toy to get his baby momma and his daughter to the Sonoma farm or whatever.

A good poster posted:Is that just British for season finale, or will this be the end of the whole thing? I meant series finale Like Narcissus said, Cinemax isn't doing anymore original programming so unless someone else picks it up, the show is done. I read an interview with Andrew Koji talking about s2 and he certainly seemed interested in continuing the play the character and hopes the show can keep going. I wonder what happened behind the scenes for Cinemax to stop making shows. I know that HBO wanted to consolidate everything under the HBO Max banner, but I would have assumed they would let Cinemax keep renewing and or greenlighting shows since all the ones they did were good. The Knick, Strike Back, Banshee, Jett, Warrior. I heard that Quarry was kinda mediocre but that is still a great track record.

PaybackJack posted:That was a good penultimate episode and I'm excited for next week's finale. The season has been kind of dancing around a bit and I wish it was a bit more focused on getting to this specific point. I feel like the Leary fight has to have some kind of fix because we already saw him and Ah Sahm throw down and Leary hasn't been spending this whole season training like Ah Sahm has. It also felt like maybe Leary was kind of seeing the futility of what was happening and was going to be the one to turn things around on Buckley. The Ah Sahm v Leery fight should be a hilariously one sided beatdown, but it probably won't be due to story reasons. But it should be!

Penny and Lee really got sidelined this season. I wish they had more to do. But holy gently caress did Penny really get screwed. She just spent the whole season trying to succeed on her own but failing or getting poo poo on by everyone else. And then she runs into Buckley who is on another level and gets her committed to a mental institution. Young Jun also getting warp speed character development this episode. Learning patience and wisdom when dealing with Ah Sahm's reveal and even sort of forgiving him, even though he's clearly hurt and a lot of trust has been broken. Leery v Ah Sahm was very brutal and did not disappoint. Mai Ling's blackmail photograph felt like a weak reveal, but that's definitely based on current events. Maybe back then people really did hate the Confederates and it would have been a fatal blow to his political aspirations outside of the south. Or maybe not idk. This felt like a season finale and not a series finale. Still a ton of unresolved plotlines and then implying that Zhing could escape for the final scene. I really hope HBO Max or someone else picks up the show.

I am so glad Warrior is back. That opening scene in the first episode also reminded me just how huge and detailed their actual set is. I am very down for this plot. Secret service agent Mosley is quite a character. "I guess it is that kind of meeting."Bill was right. That is a good woman you got there Lee.  Uh, I hope they didn't just write off Penny. I noticed she's not in the opening credits anymore. I can see how that being the end of her storyline, but holy poo poo that would be pretty hosed and disappointing. At least they mentioned that Buckley is still keeping her in the asylum and stealing her husband's money. 10 Beers posted:Man, Hong is the best.

I wonder how the counterfeiting plotline will go. Seems like a terrible deal for the Hop Wei as they don't even have the printing operation on their own turf. But maybe it gets busted and the Long Zi take all the blame since it's on theirs. Then again the secret service agent is dead so who knows. lmao Young Jun with the prositute All the scenes in the mining settlement were extremely tense. I kept waiting for poo poo to hit the fan. I was not disappointed. I was surprised that Father Jun didn't die. He was giving off all sorts of death flags. Dispensed some wisdom and him dying there would've been a badass way to go. oh god oh gently caress posted:Counterpoint: Lee is handsome and should stick around Also Lee and Chao are bffs now.

Happy Jack. Well I guess Agent Mosley isn't dead. And he's loving terrifying. I liked that shot of him struggling to maintain his friendly demeanor despite being furious at almost being killed because of Lee. Father Jun I'm gonna call my shot: some bad poo poo is going to go down at Mai Ling's wedding. Guessing that Young Jun makes a move there. Or some Irish gently caress with it. Or the cops show up. Or the Secret Service.
