I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

I would think the guy being named Rabbi would be a bigger callback.

And you totally missed the nod to Barton Fink.

I’ve said this pages ago, I think it was pretty obvious after the first few episodes seeing how close Rabbi Milligan and satchel are

Yeah, there was some pretty neat touches in the last episode.
Only two more left so there could be some surprises but I also feel like I'm just finishing out the string. It compares to last season in that sense where the first two I was excited to find out what happens next.

Oh, I couldn’t wait to what the next episode brought in Season 3.

This penultimate episode was my favorite of the season. Hopefully, the finale brings this home in an equally interesting way.

But I'm not sure how it can do that. Fingers crossed.
