The real shock of this episode was seeing Saxon make a smoothie while hungover. Barf. That's the last thing I'd want in that situation.

Jerks like that with their ways of thinking are the precise reason we'll never have socialized medicine in the US.

Other than being from the south and involved in financial crimes, I don't see the parallel.

Maybe the yacht was a rental. Buying one like that would eat up most (if not all) of the money and would also be a really easy way to be tracked.

Did Tanya have Logan Roy money or something? Because that boat was definitely only in a billionaire's reach.

And if not, how will he refuel? I really liked this show, but it's better if you don't question the logistics. Like, at all.

Timothy and the phone obsession is getting monotonous. I get that there's something really bad going on at work, but why even bother with the trip unless you're planning on never returning to the US? The scene with the family debating on giving up their devices went on twice as long as it should have.

I know this show tends to take its time with plot development, but wow, these first 2 episodes have been slow. If the next couple don't move a bit faster, I'm not sure if I'll continue. Parker Posey is basically channeling Moira Rose.

I enjoy most anything set in a dystopian environment, and one of my favorite plot devices is when the writers eventually show us how we got there. This episode nailed that, even though we mainly only saw what was going on in the WH.

A few thoughts after finishing the season: -Harry was a terrible cop and a terrible father. His portrayal in this season is not at all the way he was portrayed as a hero in the OG run. -The police chief as the season's big villain was ridiculous. I get that a lot of men do crazy things after a divorce, especially if kids are involved, but come on. -The B plot with Deb/Gio went nowhere. Total waste of time. -How does Dexter already have such awesome skills (breaking and entering, hand-to-hand combat, etc.), considering he just started killing?

I guess we're not going to hear anything else about Deb's boyfriend? What was the point of any of that? Why show us that he's up to no good if it never goes anywhere? Oh, right, that's what this show does over and over again.

Dexter does a kill in the Jai-Alai arena after hours? Really? First, how did he get in? Second, the chances of getting caught would be very high since it's, you know, a functioning business. Why not just do it in the guy's house, where he'd already restrained him?

I guess Angel has been wearing the exact same outfit (and hat) for 20+ years?

I couldn't believe the Merlin guy was only 47. Apparently Karamo couldn't, either. I thought he was closer to 60. Agree with whomever above said that he probably won't keep up with the new routine. I'd love a "where are they now?" ep of this show.

Haven't finished the whole season, but it seems like the emphasis is now on the Fab 5's goofy antics than actually telling us about the process. They really don't seem to be doing much for the candidates, and if they are, that footage is on the cutting room floor. Per usual, Antoni is barely cooking.
