    Also, the very name of the event, "The Jackpot", hints that someone or someones got very wealthy from the event.

    I don't remember why the past people are referred to as "polts" but I'm thinking/hoping it's short for "poltergeist", meaning they are dead and are ghosts, so to speak.

     

    They said thats what it stood for in ep 3.

  2. The only thing really worth a damn in that last season was the Dothraki with flaming swords attacking the army of the dead at night.
    I’m sorry, but that was some fantastic shit.

    Except for when she suddenly had another 10,000 Dothraki available after the whole army got extinguished by the dead. That kind of ruined the awesomeness of the scene.

  3. Everything so far could have been covered in two episodes. We've spent hours of self-indulgent, drawn-out angst about June's inevitable return to the fight all played on endless close-ups of E. Moss's face. I'm embarrassed for Moss as she directed the first few episodes (likely bait to keep her going with the show). "You, know what this show needs is another close-up of my face."
    I thought the show mercifully ended last season, too. I wonder if they just couldn't resist going another season for whatever gain the network gets out of it. More subscribers or subscribers staying? 
    I'm glad that the buried pistol didn't just work after she dug it up. Ann Dowd's Aunt Lidia is the heart of the show right now. My God, what an actress. Bradley Whitford is the other actor injecting a little life and, egads!, even wit to the show. 
    It's. All. So. Serious.

    At this point, I just get angry whenever they do the closeup thing. Her face makes me angry.

  4. I thought the ending fit the show pretty well. I need to go back and watch the first episode again to see if it was as bad as I remember, but I'm probably too lazy. I'm glad I didn't give up on it though. I think it might have been the most enjoyable of the Marvel series on Disney+.

    No way. Loki, Hawkeye and Moon Knight were all significantly better.
