Billions S3 |OT| What's the point of having FU money if you don't say FU
- Thread starter BeforeU
- Start date
Agreed. I'm surprised he's going to partner with the Russians though. Axe is going to be fucking stunned when Taylor resigns, I can't wait to see his face, especially after having paid the biggest bonus ever in the company lol. I also wonder how much Dollar Bill got as a bonus lol. Also, did Wendy get more than Mags? Axe said it was twice the Juice trade profit, don't remember if they ever mentioned the figure. Season 4 will be spectacular
lol do you think Axe thought he was younger when he found the magazines?
Chuck's dad was hilarious, although i recognize some might find him offensive. I felt horrible for laughing.
^^^ Oh he's terrible, but a fascinating character. I always wonder what awful thing he's going to do or say every time he appears.
High stake double crosses. Man, I already miss this show. It's going to be a long wait
What did you find cringeworthy? Axe and Bob teaming up?
Dake/Connerty > Chuck morally speaking.
Loved the finale and season overall.
OP
OP
Are you kidding? How on earth does Chuck have the moral ground here?
Not now. Now they're errand boys for Jeffcoat and his racist af justice system.
What was awesome is you could just see it on Chuck's face that he knew exactly what Connerty was going to say to him as well. His face wasn't even so much disappointment as "Yeah I get it, you win. I'm going." Was half expecting an eye roll from Chuck at that moment.
Finale was awesome.
Chuck needed the circuit breaker, he was out of control.
I also liked how Taylor made both Wendy and Axe seem completely outmoded and out of touch.

Shame more people aren't watching this show because it continues to be one of the best things on TV.
Great finale. It was surreal to see Axe and Chuck plotting together but they really are setting things up for an epic showdown where the two most intelligent and inherently dangerous characters - who have been at each other's throats for the better part of three seasons - unite to obliterate their respective enemies.

I agree to a point but I also think the show has made it clear that Taylor is operating without any real emotional and interpersonal instincts and rather believes that everything in life can be broken down into data that can be analyzed, aggregated, anticipated and manipulated, which is why Wendy's warning is foreshadowing the manner in which Taylor might finally falter.
Taylor was right though, saying success is built on relationships is largely garbage. How many bridges does Axe burn?
I enjoyed the finale, but did I miss Sacker giving up Chuck? The guy Chuck plotted with is the Deputy Attorney General now, Dake said he got satisfaction of seeing Chuck's fall, Connerty got revenge and is the interim District Attorney, but Kate was just standing there in the background the whole time in the office.
I guess maybe Jackoff owes her a favour but it's not like he'll be in office in 3 or 7 years in the Billionsverse. Or maybe she got nothing because she gave Chuck's plan up to Connerty at the bar and had no leverage after giving that for free. Either way I'm finding it hard to see how she comes out ahead, I guess not going down with Chuck might be enough?

With how angry Axe was, I don't really believe he could have stopped himself from calling Taylor a girl at some point. Dude does not have a moral backbone when it comes to wanting to destroy his enemies, I also don't think he has a conscience at all whereas Chuck kinda sorta still has one.
Malkovich's character said "she's your property" I was surprised they left it in, because he didn't seem to mean it.
Malkovich also called Taylor a bitch, neither of those lines surprised me coming from his character.
I don't think she gave him up to anyone except Connerty. The vibe I got from Thai scene is she was brought in on it when everyone got to the office that day and she pieced it together. Her comment before he walked in was like saying "I told you how this would go."
The fact she wasn't mentioned by the AG at all in that scene makes me think she didn't rat Chuck out but she also didn't fall on the sword for him.
I think she comes out ahead by staying low. Brian isn't gonna crush her because he got the Intel from her. And she's still in the office for when Chuck goes on his eventual revenge tour I bet.
Ahh right, that makes a lot more sense than my limited thinking. Thanks.
Axe can most assuredly destroy people as he deems fit but he also has a tight cadre of individuals loyal to him in a way Taylor probably won't be able to replicate.
But you have a point in regards to the bridges he's burned.
Honestly, I'm on Taylor's side for the most part.
They're only major blunder was trying to get the Russian mob guy on their side. Wasn't Taylor actively against hiring that dude in the first place since he's obviously a violent mobster?
Now there's really no good solution going forward between Axe, Taylor, and the mobster. Im guessing no matter what goes down somebody is dying next season. I'd be interested in what would happen if Axe's ex or kids were killed (he really hasn't had many personal bad things happen to him that he hasn't been able to bounce back from), but I wouldn't be surprised if Wendy or Wags might get whacked (as much as that would suck to lose those characters).

Binged all three seasons in the past couple weeks.
Needless to say, incredibly hyped for season 4.

Did the same. Just finished the S3 finale.
fuck yeah
Also, Connerty and Dake showed that they are really no better than Chuck.

I just finished my binge. Love this show. It kept getting better and better each season. The characters are very well written and developed through well thought out plot arcs. The supporting characters are equally well written and memorable. I can never decide who's side I'm on, Axe or Chuck. Also liked how season 3 switched up the pacing a little bit.
Okay, I just finished this last night.
Why would Sacker betray Chuck? Throughout season 3, Sacker has struggled with the directives coming in from the Attorney General, particularly prosecuting an innocent young black man, which led to his death by police brutality, and Jeffcoat's order to start doing broken windows policing in minority neighborhoods.
She had a chance to work with Chuck to bring Jeffcoats down and end the injustices they were forced to carry out. Instead she betrays the guy trying to bring down King Racist. So now what? SDNY will be under Jeffcoats' thumb even more than when Chuck was there. She's going to have to carry out racial injustices for as long as he's the AG. She just guaranteed that she's going to be forced to do appalling things for at least another couple years.
It just makes no sense that Sacker would side with Jeffcoats given what we know about her motivations. It's not like she was going to get a promotion. She was already Head of Crim, and Connerty got the District Attorney job, so there isn't a promotion open for her.
Also, given that Connerty's key motivation is rooting out corruption, why would he side with Jeffcoats, who is far more corrupt than Chuck ever was?
I'm excited to see Chuck and Axe team up next season, but I can't help but feel that the actions that led to Chuck getting ousted were completely out of character for Connerty, Sacker, and even Dake to be honest (he's also motivated by ending corruption, so why Jeffcoats over Chuck?).
