S03.E02: Muscle & Flow

Quote

Desna and her crew start working at the casino and discover the Lovestones are involved in some illegal business with a very important person.

Airing June 16, 2019.

I laughed when the store clerk when into detail of what black stuff they have (black pens, black garbage bags, black beans, etc.).

Desna and her team are becoming too arrogant.  They drove the bodybuilder to her aunt, who probably still lived in Florida?  They got both of them killed.

I loved that Jenn immediately knew what Desna was doing in her new office!  That's true friendship.

I love their nicknames for Virginia. Left eye, Captain Crunch, Jack Sparrow. I also love that she's some weird deep sage that they tell their fears to but she also can't figure out how to turn off the salon alarm system.

I enjoyed the mayhem of Desna and her crew running the casino. It is nice to see them take on different roles outside of the salon. I would have Anne be the casino manager since she has a MBA, but she was having fun doing security.

I hated that the guy murdered that woman. These new criminals don't play. Desna and her crew better be careful. 

I can't wait to see how Roller proves himself to Desna. It would be nice to see him stop being an ass and be a better man.

I looking forward to see Jenn and Bryce interacting with her daughter's biological father. I hope it doesn't go badly.

Virginia as an empath is hilarious. At least Toby is feeling bad about shooting her. Dean needs to get off this revenge kick. It isn't healthy.

I am not a fan of UncleDaddy. We will see how long this change of heart lasts, but it would be nice if he stops being evil as hell.

Loved the nod to Reservoir Dogs at the beginning of the episode.

Swamp dick? Is that a thing? A good thing? (According to Urban Dictionary it most certainly is not something to be desired. Oy, Roller.)

Hillbilly Twitter is even faster than Black Twitter. Heh.

Polly's like the wind! You can't catch her!

Pre-Colombian strap-on. Yikes.

I'm betting Jenn's ex EJ is going to get set up for a parole violation.

Knew it. Mac is a fake Native American. The casting makes sense to me now.

Melba's right hand man. Yeah, more like hit man.

[Chaos Theory]

I just caught up on Hulu so excuse me if I missed anything.

Polly has got to be my favorite character. I love her brand of crazy.  She is so much fun to watch.  

Desna and Roller as a pairing are hit and miss for me.   Sometimes I really like them other times I wonder why Desna puts up with him.   Then I really like him again.

I love all their nicknames to normalize Virginia losing an eye.  

Uncle Daddy is always fun to watch.  Dean Norris must have so much fun playing the bisexual Dixi Mafia member.

I really enjoy Quiet Anne’s storyline with the cop last season and I got where both were coming from.  I am wondering now since everyone has crimed up if the storyline will continue as well.  Anne dating the increasingly conflicted cop that wants to arrest her friends.

Wise sage Virginia continues to be the best thing ever. With her coordinating her bedazzled eye-patches to her outfits being a close second. I guess if any of these people were going to get therapy, Virginia is probably as good as its going to get. Toby seems to feel bad about shooting her, its gonna get real awkward if the truth ever gets out. 

These casino people dont play! That picture of the two of them naked together, that their right hand man apparently painted, was just next level uncomfortable. Their eyes kept starring at me through the screen! I worry that Desna and the crew are getting cocky, these people are scary and they have apparently been doing this for a real long time. 

Love Roller trying to get back with Desna, even after all the weirdness that has happened with them. "Lets not bicker about who killed who..."

That was so funny. I didn't think that the show would acknowledge their violent past. It does make me uncomfortable because they do seem determined to forget that Desna shot Roller because he was strangling Virginia.

I know Desna & her crew are portrayed as strong women, but I'm getting tired of the slow motion strolling to show just how badass they are.  We get it.  Plus, they're not as badass as they think they are as they'll soon find out.

The most interesting story for me is Jenn and her ex and how they'll deal with each other.  

Never liked Polly because she's too damn wacky, and that's saying something considering who she hangs with.

I used to work as a pharmacy technician,  and that crack about Pillbilly Twitter is no joke.  I don't know where on the Internet junkies go to spread information,  but it is thorough and efficient.   

I know that it was supposed to be an emotional moment but when Bryce told Roller about remembering the dad taking out his teeth and beating momma with the VCR, I laughed.   That sentence was the perfect distillation of white trash.  

Also, I was disappointed that Roller found a tshirt.

Quiet Ann always cracks me up!  This week - when she kissed her baseball bat when they re-opened the salon.

[Ohwell]

I don't remember what Polly was in jail for, but I thought it had something to do with scamming the elderly?

Edit:  Ok I just looked it up and she was in jail for identity theft.  That's why I just can't stand her because I've known victims of identity theft and they've gone through hell to straighten things out and get their lives back.  It is not funny.

Am I the only one who is bored to death with the casino storyline?

I'm OK with the casino so far, but I sure miss the nail salon.

[bilgistic]

I really do, too.

It is when it's fictional.

Not even then.  

Can I just not like the bitch in peace?  LOL

Thats the greatest crime that has committed in this whole series! Who is the MONSTER who told Roller about shirts that fully cover his chest?! Next thing you know, they'll explain buttons to him!

[Dee]

I like that Polly isn't in the least bit phased by Roller.

[emma675]

I feel like we need a favorite quotes section for this show. There are so many random, hysterical lines this season that just have me rolling.

I believe in the preview for next week, Roller is explaining his open shirt policy with the quote “buttons are for gluttons”, which actually elicited the biggest laugh from me this episode.....
