Pre-finale prediction
Spoiler: show
- Spurred by Blackpink's words and visible disappointment at his passiveness, incompetent doorman attempts to take on the Russians
- Chelsea somehow gets caught in the crossfire, dies
- Scott Glen comes after Walton Goggins, is revealed to be his father

I refuse to participate in the “who will die?” Discourse because that only feels like a distraction this season

Okay but it is a question set up in episode 1 and it's fun to speculate.

You can take a guess while acknowledging that there are other, more interesting things at play this season.

I disagree but it is possible to do

For all the talk of "people are gonna hate Mike White after the finale," that was kind of tame and clearly telegraphed far in advance.

I liked the ending montage. The hymn gave it a nice touch.

Agreed; nothing particularly shocking about what happened but a very well-executed finale and season. Other than the inexcusable lack of monkey chaos.

I was surprised he chickened out on killing Lachlan.

Piper sucks. Fire her into the sun.

Belinda sucks. I was hoping her boat would explode at the end.

Fabian squealing while jumping into the water. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Emmys for Coon, Goggins, Isaacs, and Posey.

Per Mike White, expect no waves in season 4. Dubai?

I liked it a lot yeah. Carrie Coon’s scene was oustanding.. i also loved that Belinda did exactly the same that happened to her.

Great acting and i was a bit sad with both of the departed.

Frank actually being serious when he said to Rick “I’ll go back to the monastery tomorrow” was a nice happy ending

Dude shit in a suitcase in the season one finale. Can I assume there was a brotherly Cleveland Steamer to wrap this one up?

For a second…I thought maybe Belinda’s boat would explode, but alas.

I agree on season four potential locations. Either desert oasis, or snow peaks.

I believe her other big credit is Sex Education on Netflix. Great show.

yeah, it started slow and kinda dull but it turned out to be very fun and poignant. I still feel kinda sad about the ending.
