Billions

[GTO-3R]

Great episode again, really like where all of it is heading!

What's Brian going to do or is that the end of him...?!

[mattyn1]

I am expecting him to go get that job with Axe Cap!

anything's possible in Billions.... it's rather removed from reality, after all!

[anonymous-user]

I think the early stuff is much better, the story seems lazy and convoluted unnecessarily.

Hes gone from insider trading to fbi tampering overnight.

LIl boy is finally stepping out of daddy's shadow.

Axe...I can see the beginnings of trouble with thingio.

[Davie_GLA]

Love this show. Latest episode had lots of masonic references.

[RC1807]

From the latest episode, I think it's now going to get VERY messy!

Thursday's? Getting involved with the Russian fella?

[Mothersruin]

High risk fun and games indeed.

"I don't need a show of trust, I can compel trust. I want a show of influence."

Great line.

I liked the;

you choose now to show me your chest?

[Davie_GLA]

Just when I thought they were running out of ideas john malkovich rocks up!

Love this show, Axe is playing with the true big boys now.

Yep!
Episode was claled "Icebreaker", (S3., ep 9)


Watched ep. 10 last night online.
It's called "Redemption", and there are some interesting sideline issues coming up.
Redemption here had a few meanings in the story line, which worked well, I thought.

...so what was that business at the end between baldie and ginge?

Dinner with baldie's family, you mean?

I think much more dodginess will ensue to ensure positive returns on the $3Bn deposited.

[Don Veloci]

For me, John Malkovich has given us a cartoon character of a Russian villain that's quite entertaining to watch.

If money is lost, Axe is screwed. If returns are positive he'll stay in, and Axe is screwed. As someone has said - how dodgy do his dealings need to be to keep the Russian sweet, screwed again.

Did someone previously mention Taylor going her own way and/or burning the house down from within? Seems something along those lines is developing.

Actually no, I genunely forgot Taylor's name...forgot there was a real baldie there. I actually got Malkovich's scene and knew what ginge was thinkign when he looked at Mal's mum.
I mean Taylor, I missed what Axe did to her portfolio, and what that lil coffee meeting with the nerd bf meant?

[CAPP0]

I guess Wendy will tease out the story with Taylor and the coffee meet next week?

I'm curious that after the meal at Axe's place between Chuck, Axe & Wendy, where they stitched the doctor up, there's no sign of Chuck now going after Axe in any capacity. I have a possible theory about how this might play out:

Will it turn out that Jock's dodgy dealings are linked with Malko, and therefore by bringing Jock down, Chuck (inadvertently?) takes Axe down with him?

[Halb]

I wouldn't be surprised if Axe and Chuck team up at some point.

[GM182]

Really enjoying this series, as I did one and two.

No one's mentioned Clancy Brown yet I think. He's almost as sinister as Malkovich in his own way...Remember he was the Kurgan in Highlander (and, less sinisterly, having checked IMDB, learned that he is the voice of Mr Krabs in SpongeBob Squarepants!

[Halb]

Been a fan of Clancy since Kurrgan. He was the brutal prison guard in Shawshank, he pops up in a lot of cartoons, Gargoyles was one of his best. He was ace in Carnivàle.
