Billions done. Superb. Sets up series 4 perfectly.
Yep. Clancy Brown is brilliant in his role.
Throw in some cameos from A-list sports stars and musicians along with the many music references and it's a winner.
Still waiting for Jock to tell Chuck

about 5 eps into (assume) the final season of The Americans.
Quality as usual.
Like someone else alluded to though, given what Phillip and Elizabeth did/do, how is it they have no $$$, let alone how big their farking house is! Surely Russia woulda funded them rather nicely given how long they have been doing what they are doing without detection.
Watched Ep 1 of Goliath, definitely be having a look at more eps!
-
Watched the finale of The Americans - was getting worried this thread would spoiler it for me (same with Westworld and Handmaids Tale which I guess I'm going to have to rush watch).
Easily one of the best shows ever made, comfortably inside my top 10.
Spoilers below:
:::
Well, that was the most Americans TV show ending you could ever have. Just rolled to the end and lots and lots of loose ends.
I kind of wanted Elizabeth to get taken down this season, she seemed to be nastier than usual.
I found the money situation a bit weird, I'm sure they could have found some alternative sources of funding being the resourceful agents that they are.
So, I guess we can assume that they got the info out as Gorbachev stayed in power. Also, they probably got Oleg out in a trade since his Gorbachev won out in the end.
Stan has another less of a wuss son too now.
Also, I guess this season was 87/88, in a few more years they should be able to see the (adult) kids.

@nepia haven't read your spoiler.
I'm upto ep 6 I think...
:::
Ep where Philip shagged that blonde chick in preparation for using her in Europe.
Interestingly, when Elizabeth was telling Phillip he had to use her by holding her in a cell to coerce the father and Elizabeth said her father would do anything to free her...I thought Phillip might say and if that were Paige, would you do whatever they asked, as I don't think Elizabeth would.
Elizabeth certainly well down the rabbit hole; as I have often said, I think her character is sexy AF (in some of her guises) but this season they have changed her, and her characters arem't as appealing.
Interesting scene when Phillip asked Paige to try to attack him.

Definitely don't read my spoiler!
But you can read the spoiler above which is only discussing stuff up to Ep.6.I tried to spoiler in this post but it didn't work.

@taniwharugby Lets see if the spoiler works now.
:::
I actually wonder how they've made Keri Russell so unattractive, maybe it's her character, but ... I think I may have mentioned on the Fern before that I met and hung out with her (ate food and had a few coffees) during a Winterfest in Queenstown and she was stunning, although she would have been in her 20s at the time.
Yeah that scene was interesting, shows he's still tough even though he's out of the family business.
In my other post I mentioned the money, I think it's weird that they would have money troubles as I'm sure they would have ways to get money in a bind.

@nepia ha yeah I had to look into your post (under mod super powers) to see what you said.
I always liked Phillip as he was more conflicted with what they were doing, whereas Elizabeth is still as ruthless as ever.

Man, everyone's a super mod except me!
-
@nepia fark I been a mod since, well, ages as.
How Stan features in the end interests me, as you get the sense he knows something about them is off, but is still none the wiser.
:::
The conversation he had with Phillip about the Russians Elizabeth killed, leaving their 6 year old, even as friends, IMO seemed a bit too much information based on their other interactions, well that's how I took it.
Almost like Stan was fishing.

@taniwharugby I probably can't say anything more on any of the plot lines in the show because I don't want to give anything away.

@mn5 what, you hadn't worked that out already, do you even watch WW?

Nope. No idea whatsoever. Probably distracted by Thandie Newton and her tits.

F is for Family
Funnier than the trailer suggests.

Right, I'm crying out for help. I'm up to S02E09 of Westworld and surprise surprise my tiny brain is completely lost. I'm literally watching purely in the hope that something somewhere is going to make sense. I was kinda hoping it might have happened by now.
Can anyone point me towards any type of media that may help clarify the situation?

Youtube is your friend
I regular watch a couple of good channels that can break down each episode. A quick search and you will be fine
Otherwise just think that time isn’t singular on this show.. multiple time lines are in play here. Current, 30 years ago (young William with Delores) and 35 years ago before the park opened.
