It’s like a mutating virus. It’s back

I’m curious when I punched out on this series. How many seasons did I skip?


Damian Lewis is back? I wonder why

Is there any possibility of...

Are you a Wilbury, Tine?

What would you give to get it all back?
Your status, all your bitcoin, the whole thing.

I suggest you toe the line on this episode. In exchange, I’ll back you.

I...

I loved ep 2&3.

Dark & morally ambivelant. Music plus, plus.

I suspend my belief. I buy into the characters and the world the writers have created. I am transported.

Then you trot out...

Martha prolly feels Axe’s storyline brings back those memories of prison but I can’t understand your issues with the show wow.

Worse, your opinions are starting to intersect with ‘tine. Stick...

He’s deliberately antagonizing me and if we are honest, you wouldn’t tolerate it either

If there were options on Billions I’d gamble some calls.

I’ll admit I will have to be prepared to invest in the slow rebuild

Any change in writers or other personnel?

Wendy Rhoades to Wags:



Sorry pal, but that makes me smile

Tine once wrote something to the effect that BCS was well done but depressing. Of course, he didn't say it that simply....

This is how I feel about the Taylor character. Such a tremendous start....

-227 Better Call Saul
+237 Billions

I'll take the chalk. Those odds aren't gonna get any better either

Thinking about the viewing choices I've made other than Billions.

Saw a 90 minute biography of JK Rowling on offer. Remembered reading the first book to my kids. Nobody cared. I mean I have...

This ^^

I can't identify with a single character. Whateverthefuck the literary trick is to get the audience to empathize with the characters has been sanitized from show.

Was thinking I was...

I paused ep. 9 to do something more interesting like empty dishwasher

Haven't returned and ep. 10 is sitting on DVR.

8% just isn't enough.

I know there is variance as there is a carousel of...

I haven't seen ep3 or 4. Not sure where you guys are at now

I couldn't see a reason for a season 2. Then Taylor, Dake (and Dr Gus) emerge and I'm thinking we have something new to work with.

If you don't have encyclopedic recall of The Hustler script then off to the Trump thread you go with the rabble.

In before Hustler mag recall

sanlmar:
I don't think there's a forum poster alive who writes better posts than I saw you write the other night. You got talent.

lol wow:
So I got talent? So what beat me?

sanlmar: ...

Fat man, you shoot a great game of pool.
- lol wow

Honest to god you had me looking up Poker Bustouts. Completely forgot I saw this documentary until I saw The Cowboy in the description. Gritty...

"There isn't much going on in the trader camp"

Bingo. Hedge fund (trader) culture and trader life wasn't mined. I don't think Koppelman ever had or pursued access.

The day to day decisions...

So Koppelman immersed himself in the underground NY poker clubs before Moneymaker was a thing. He had a story to tell populated with interesting characters.

Koppelman did the same thing here. I...

I must confess that I have on occasion wondered if some of your clever script was on occasion lifted from Reddit.

I know, I know it's Reddit but you know, how does Tine keep comin' like he does?
...

In your allegory the writer dismissed Pollack's art as "an uninspired, sloppy, fucktarded mess because no one has the skill or vision"

Pollack proved with a flick of the wrist at 18' just how...

Wounded. Total Sonatine submissive. Maybe I am supposed to enjoy the pain.

Show runners & writers, Levien & Koppelman on James Altucher's podcast. Levien & Koppelman discuss Billions and their...

I have been afraid to read your review. I knew grenades aplenty would be thrown.

Just read your post. I gotta think about why exactly I like this some other time. I will offer this for now.

...

Only watching two things now.

"Billions" has some great characters. Top top. I gotta find something to read about the show writers & background.

Finally getting to "The Wire". Lol, season...
