Axe vs Taylor definitely has the most/best tension + potential.

Of both Axe's + Chuck's new quests to become TBTFW, Chuck's is the more interesting of the two (so far), despite Axe's coining of the term TBTFW.

Any word on a season 4 renewal? If not that has to be factored into next week's finale

the scene with Bobby and his ex wife was confusing af. Gender neutral people, please make up a completely new word to use as pronoun.

It was pretty easy to follow that They meant Taylor. The other characters have been using that pronoun since Taylor's introduction.

pretty sure taylor is gonna get in a jam, grigor demands 10% on his money, that algo provides 8%. and if he gets like 7% return or smth due to variance hes gonna **** her up because he wants a GUA10% and somehow axe comes to the resuce in some redeeming way for his past behaviour, sort of how chuck been redeeming himself lately.

they really hit us over the head with % these eps.

^ pretty solid line. I think you're definitely right about Taylor getting into some **** that she's not ready for, due to lack of street smarts or whatever, so Axe steps in to show who's the real boss

filler episode for the most part. mostly fine, but i don't understand the love in this thread, especially given it's the penultimate episode of the season (so typically a lot of interesting stuff should be happening).

chuck getting up in that guy's face and talking about federal cases was very enjoyable.

i'm now at the point where the character i'm most excited to see onscreen is taylor (ignoring jacuzzi scenes at axe's apartment). never really thought i'd be saying that.

Yeah, I liked this episode for sure, but.. maybe a little bit disappointing for a penultimate which are usually the best in series like this? Those middle episodes are still the best of the season.

I like this show a lot
but mostly just based on the strength of the characters involved.

The stories are beyond any sort of sense or even cohesiveness.

Its like a sitcom/cartoon almost where they reset reality whenever
they feel like it.

Damn it! Did not realize that was the finale. Probably a good thing because the turns were more unexpected. It was like I was watching the formation of the Mega-Powers in 1980-whatever. They hated each other, now they're like a tag team and they even have their own Miss Elizabeth.

Teddy KGB really brings another level to this show.

Was hoping for more tbh but i guess it does make the next season interesting with Chuck & Axe working together on the same team, two brilliant minds in unison. I think this season wasn't as good overall because the writers thought they had to pivot from the Chuck vs Axe conflict, i'm looking forward to season 4 & i feel it will deliver.

Great finale. Connerty was a wimp for whispering GTFO.

Did not see that Chuck and Axe can work together. Entertainment as always. I thought that Taylor will leave Axe for sure just because Axe screwed him some times. Nice that there is a little to no story line for Axe's ex wife.

Best episode of the series . I was hoping Axe Wendy and Chuck the CUCK would orgy. I thought maybe Chuck the CUCK was going to punish himself for getting fired by watching Wendy get drilled on her firing day.

Liked it but just about every major plot development can be seen from miles off or is unsurprising. The betrayal of Chuck was downright clumsy, it was so obvious when the state attorney called Chuck that he was stabbing him in the back.
