Affogato

I want to like Chuck and as near as I can tell he has been nice to fandom, but also heard about the other stuff.

No, I have to get up early…..

You are right, the Hamzad enclave should be getting heat from the Taliban. Of course, they may be. Harper may be a side project for her. Harper saw a picture of his ex wife with ‘the Russian’ and other men. I was not sure if Chase and Zoe were in the UK or US. On a small private island. It was Bote’s island, I thought, not Chase’s island. I assume Chase and Zoey were settling because they thought Parwana was dead. I’m not sure how they would get to the island. . There would be cabanas in the Mediterranean, it doesn’t feel clear, the story is all over the place. If it was a movie maybe the loose ends could be trimmed. But the cast is good.

The Chinese will perfect the salt batteries. Then where will they be? And where are they getting water to mine the lithium. Asking. Not sure. Funnily, the US and China have a lot of their own Lithium, although it is environmentally destructive to mine it. that said, I liked this season. I think this show had something, a pacing problem, maybe the first two seasons should have been one longer season. Which once was doable, right. The set up to the third season sounds like it would work better, we got people in place. But it may not happen. Remember Dan always believes in what he does. He can do awful things for he does them for good. So Lou probably went wrong somewhere, saved the wrong guy or backed the wrong power.

I can also imagine Mabel and Charles covering up the discovery of a murder until after the wedding. was Glenn related to Loretta?

A murder would stop it from happening.

I thought of that. It would give them some familiarity with the building.

In Adaptation Charlie Kaufman has a twin brother. It would be interesting if Rex and Marshall were siblings, not the same person. Maybe Rex collaborated with Sazz and was a good writer and Marshall is not. Just to show there can be some reveals for next week.

Was rex/marshall in the classroom the day Dudenoff gave the BS the cameras? Maybe not, but one of the crowd? Was the script shown to the BS, who got Bev behind the project? Was Bev in Paradise trying to figure out what went wrong? If the BS pushed the script they may bot have known it was Sazz’s script. Sazz, setting up the school, may not have realized about the movie and script until it was well under development.

Yes, one of the things must have happened. He stole and submitted the script outright under his own name, possibly, or they had talked Sazz into letting them ‘help’ and then killed her and moved into the role of main writer. I’m uncertain of ‘Marshall’s gender at this point, but I’m not sure it matters. Helga would be in and out of the Dudenoff apartment to take care of the pig, Hammy. It is possible she met Marshall there. Marshall might have gotten access to the apartment in a number of ways, he is a struggling and failed movie person, like the rest of the Westies. Disposing of Sazz’s body would protect the apartment scam. Bev in the shed in Paradise and the loaded gun there (which Mabel has) are still outstanding. Was Marshall living there?

https://apple.news/Ai6QDle1WSya7M_-lq47eOQ apparently Martin Short and Steve Martin share Colonoscopy time! “In Short's charming 2014 autobiography, I Must Say: My Life as a Humble Comedy Legend, Short detailed this tradition, which happens every other year. He, Martin, Tom Hanks (who also gets mentioned in this ep), and producer Walter Parks get together for a purposeful slumber party at Steve Martin's home. They spend the night playing poker, eating Jell-O and broth, and spending ample time in the bathroom cleansing their systems for the exam, which is scheduled for the following day. In the book, Short clarifies they are not in the same room when the exam happens. But they all drive together to their synced appointments and go out for lunch and margaritas afterward. “

Definitely the worlds worse smoothie.

Mabel’s erotic nonsexuality—it’s the sweaters! Charles did bring corned beef! Also Don’t mention the fishing hole. And he stole the shoes. Burned his eyebrows. charles loneliness is palpable, there has to be another season to address it. He needs a happy ending. I’m hoping the wedding has drama but ends up happy. I suppose ??? Well, I can hope. When did you grow the beard, Lassie? Poor Glen, by the way. I like Paul Rudd. Sazz would have told Marshall everything, so of course he would know about the script to steal it. She was very open. I don’t understand about the fire stunt, exactly. Why not allow yourself to be extinguished? i hope Mabel can beat him up.

The real fault here is too many chekov gun phrases. Next ep we find out who she loves and who she trusts. Chase has to decide if he would rather love or be right. Etc. etc.

Yes the penthouse is the production office. When they go to the photoshoot there is a skyscrapery steel and glass shot, upward, no street and they are walking through bif glass doors.

Next week, this week (now) they are going to the movie set, so I guess it makes sense that would be the place. It seems odd, though, for publicity, but the BS are odd. I thought they were in the Arconia elevators prior to entering the area but I haven’t rewatched. I will later.

I thought the point of the photoshoot was that it was at the arconia.

I did rewatch the first season. Really liked the end of the first episode when Dan says “now do you recognize me?” I recommend Emily’s phone conversation with Zoe in the third episode and also young Belour’s conversation with young Johnny while hanging clothing. They seem necessary to the understanding of the second season. A lot does. I wonder if they originally wanted three seasons, meaning we would have learned a lot more about the characters in the current setting. Harper and Chase could interact more. Zoe would have spent more time with Bote and Parwena with Hamzad. I think it might have helped. One episode doesn’t seem like it will bring everything to an end in a satisfying manner. The first season was luxuriantly slow and this one seems both overstuffed and at times padded.

it is possible she has mostly women.

Hammy owns the apartments.

Sewers worked for Angel.

I hope he rents the penthouse and is part of the next season. in some ways he has had the least drama of the three. He could have known Dudenoff or Sazz.

I will think some more. Good thing Zoe’s previous inlaws taught her to shoot. A lot of old scores are settled here.

If superman puts them there. Or Lois. In this world Lex’s evil mob bossdom is a magical talent.

It was ok at the beginning. She hasn’t had much to do for a while. I liked the pig face.
