Totally not expecting that outcome, but I'm excited to see where the show goes from here.

That was the best season of the whole show I think, I would be really happy if it ended there because that would make a great last episode but always up for more Veep, time for a full rewatch from the beginning!

I'm much more curious to know if the leaked video of Gary telling everyone to go gently caress themselves will go public.

I'm even more excited for next season now. I thought I wanted her to be back in the veep office, but after 5 seasons I think following the life of an unpopular and ineffectual ex-president is a good and fresh direction in which to take things.

One of the things Mandel mentioned is how they deliberately didn't have Gary deliver a torrent of super complex detailed profanity. It was FAR funnier for him to just yell gently caress you gently caress you gently caress yooou to everyone. I'm gonna nerd the hell out for a moment and recommend President's Club. Its an entire book dedicated to the friendships and relationships between each President. Kickass antidote after kickass antidote. And one of the things that pops up again and again is how much power an ex-president actually has even though they feel impotent. What's hilarious is that Meyer's worst nightmare is not going down as a terrible president. Instead, right now she's a bar trivia question in twenty years time.

That interview is greatquote:AVC: Another thing we learn in the finale is that the hard drive with Catherine’s documentary on it is missing. Also yeah, Mike leaking the recording of Gary's meltdown would seem out of character for him. It's just something he wants to privately giggle at later.

I had the impression Dan was recording as well, just the way both men had their phones positioned at a low angle and then cuts to them quickly as the commotion stars to conclude.

That's a way more depressing episode than I expected from Veep, but I enjoyed it even though it wasn't very funny at all. I have no idea how they'll make the next season work after this, but I'm glad she's not back to being veep again, so let's see.GigaPeon posted:Although him not knowing how to use a phone and accidentally making it public in the cloud would be.

Nice little missed moment in the ep where Richard realizes his mom wasn't his mom and Selina just snaps him out of by being her drunken self-centered self.

My only ever so slight criticism of this season, and maybe earlier ones did it too, is a few of the jokes get a bit explained. For example, the cell phone recording of Gary was funny enough just seeing Mike angling his phone. Showing the record screen was a bit 'hey just making sure you guys caught that one'. Happened a few times in the season. Fab year again though, can't wait to see what happens next.

Not to be nitpicky but the Tully dude said that only two years had passed in universe between the Red Wedding and the present day in show. So that baby should be two and a half or so.

Sorry to interrupt the Game of Thrones chat but I was just rewatching the finale and does Doyle pronounce Montez's name "Monte-th"? I think that's only a thing in Castilian Spanish and not in Latin American Spanish.

I missed the idea where she's zero Latin and copping a fake accent, so if that's the case it's hilarious. And, yes, Castilian only though I don't know if Bathelona is a Catalan thing as well.

Propaganda Machine posted:I do believe that's part of the joke. I missed the idea where she's zero Latin and copping a fake accent, so if that's the case it's hilarious. I completely missed that as well, I assumed that she had some Mexican heritage but was born and raised in America and ended up marrying a guy she met in Mexico for some other reason, but her marrying a Mexican man and then immediately co-opting their entire culture in a cynical bid to get voters is way funnier. I think next season will be interesting. I'm worried that it could end up like season 4 of Arrested Development with everyone so far apart, but I'm sure they'll find reasons to get back together. Dan could do Selina's first post-office interview for CBS (that is, the Columbia Broadcasting Station), Amy could help Selina get reacquainted with real life, Catherine and Marjorie could hire Mike to do publicity for them, etc. I'm sure one of them will end up writing a book that reveals everything they've tried to keep secret (probably Sue).
