Episode 5 was absolutely fantastic television. Loved almost everything about it. I do need to go back and watch the segment on what the young Abbey Chase did with the Russians etc. Unless someone would care to summarize.
She was spying on other Afghan groups for the Russians without her husband’s knowledge, her logic being that she wanted to do them harm so her husband would at the top of the pecking order when the Russians eventually pulled out. She feared that the Russian commander was going to spill this information under torture.
Yes, thank you. Pretty much what I thought except for the part about spilling under torture, missed that part.
There's also the bit about how she knows where there's a massive Cu/Li/etc. mineral deposit that the Russians don't know about, and that she doesn't want her husband to know about it, because if he did that massive wealth would corrupt him (make him "king").
Not only that, but he has enough time to write an 8,000 word post on how much he hates TV in half the threads in the Visual Arts forum. I'll be reading through threads here and say "oh look, it's that dude that hasn't watched TV since 1965 talking about how much he hates TV and doesn't have time to ever watch anything anyhow...posting again about how much he hates tv in a thread dedicated to a tv show" lol. Dude is just looking for attention.
Loved the first episode, felt like something out of the Coen Brothers. As soon as ol' grumpypuss Amy Brenneman appeared everything started feeling very "TV-ish." The flashbacks were boring too. Cashed out after Episode 3, life is too short.
Ep. 5 seemed to me a long series of exposition dialog. It felt like they decided to cram as much background as possible to set up for the end game. Hopefully some action will return for the last two.
I had a friend who did an edit of Heat cutting out all of the relationship scenes. He loved it. I think you would also.
Speaking of Heat, anyone notice that the interjection of Amy's character with Jeff's is so similar to Amy and Robert De Niro's in the film?
I don't think I've ever loved a shows first few episodes so much, only to be subjected too some of the worst writing I've ever witnessed in the following 2... An absolute trainwreak. Very sad...They HAD something.
I thought the scene in the Tunisian airport records room, where Angela/Emily is filmed against her own mirror-image in the glass case (showing her duality) was very cool. I'm still liking it overall. Although not such a fan of Brenneman, and wouldn't be too sad if her character Zoe got killed off. That might "unleash the Kraken" in Dan Chase to which Zoe was referring in episode 5, and make some good, scorched-earth cinema.
When Dan "imagined" killing her and the cops at the traffic stop in Episode 2 I was ecstatic at how the show wasn't pulling any punches. Of course it was just a dream.
Help me out here. He owns a company, and has to convince the person working for him to carrying out his desires? And fails? I assume ex-CIA living under aliases don't establish publicly held companies.
The way I took it was that he's basically a figurehead that doesn't have control over day-to-day operations. Yeah, he's the boss - but he's trying to make something happen VERY quickly, and there are measures in place to protect the company from rash decisions. He is trying to go around the red tape, and his employee is the firewall to prevent that - in the best interest of the company (and his boss). I could be wrong, but that's the way I understood it.
I don't disagree with your interpretation, it just doesn't make any sense to me. If you own a privately-held company and wish to make a legal investment, the people working for you execute that decision or you fire them, right?
Well it's a TV show, so it doesn't have to make sense. But yeah, you're right. The employee he met with does seem to be somewhat of a jerk though. Cocky little whippersnapper probably thinks he knows more than "the old man" and feels like he is essential enough to the company that he can't be fired. Also, if Dan took the time to fire him it would likely cause some unwanted attention.
You made the right decision. It gets progressively worse with each episode. I can't get invested in the characters, which is understandable, since all the characters are one-dimensional. Good God...I would rather watch "Big Sky".
