the question is between whom....?
My brain is too tired I can't even think to spell so you'll just have to guess or ignore my misspelling and get to the heart and soul of what I'm talking about...
Who are the most passionate characters in this fictional tale that are willing to be handcuffed in hell together ?
Rhodes and Ax? There passion and competitive relationship is so intense that they would preferred to be handcuffed in hell together?
Yes first and foremost....it appears so...
Without the Wendy Rhodes character it would be a pretty boring guys unconventional love story...
Just joking
Before I go any further if we watch a TV show like ABC's Designated Survivor - make it feels like a "Disney-esque" rip off several super successful shows starting with Homeland a remake of an Israeli TV show and House of Cards a remake of a British show and Designated Survivor is sickeningly saccharine with the president and wife that are just unbelievable one-dimensional and the acting pales in comparison in to the outstanding acting of the showtime hits like Billions -- what a cast, and what is supporting cast it's pretty amazing something I'd expect much more of a BBC production. Ditto Homeland...
I don't think Billions is a remake of any show and I don't love it the way I love homeland but Billions is somewhat original on one hand and than it is a bit Soprano groundbreaking TV superb acting.
I have very special place in my heart for Homeland...
(It was painful to see the September 11 Memorial - I wasn't crazy about that location choice but I guess anyone in New York City knows anyone who saw was there lost a love one about loss there's some there's no getting over that kind of loss it's a gaping hole like the monument the footprint-- for survivors and their love ones it's by coming back from insurmountable odds I tried to write about this last night and the blog removes my work sometimes so I'm posting this part Monday)
Billions: The acting is out standing! I can't think of spelling names but the actor who plays Rhodes Paul Giamatti (I can't spell his name it's just too hard for my brain I'm too tired but love him) just so tremendous I remember him as "pig vomit" in the Howard Stern movie he was so exceptional he's exceptional and the same for Maggie Siff.
I don't have time to watch all their work and I haven't but they are so extraordinary and the supporting cast is just amazing.
Wink wink Paul, I love the Yale placements....
For me I'm just so glad that it isn't really a love story between those two guys although it felt like it for me I just love it that Rhodes and Wendy embrace and that's how the season ends I thought that was very kind of them a great kindness to the fans.
I won't name names but there's a certain mega wealthy guy who helped his son would be politico and the best he could do was get him a borough president job and he would have sex workers come and visit him at the office so it was shocking and sad to sea Rhodes really put a knife in his father's heart and his friend's at least he's not a complete stupid empty headed narcissist but if Billions was a highway it looks like there's going to be huge focus on what can be repaired which relationships like Rhodes and his father...
Power corrupts -- I wonder if the storylines going to just get too simplified the part of the reason he wants to destroy Ax is he so jealous of the strange special relationship Axe has with his wife?
I hope the writers work extra hard to put in some twists and turns that can't be so prefictable or black-and-white.
My least favorite character is Ax's wife. I don't buy it I don't believe it or the relationship and you know it it's just fiction it's TV it is really entertaining really well done excellent season. I can't wait for season three
End seen the Rhodes -- I wish we could see what goes on in the bedroom when they go upstairs together wow!
Rhodes having to swallow that his wife slept with one of the most eligible bachelor's in the world, a tech genius to boot, and more bombs that will be dropping as well as that intimate moment between Wendy and Ax that's a lot to swallow... but has he missed how dedicated and loving those around him have been like his father, his lawyer and Wendy and will that be his undoing will he end up in a jail cell next to Ax or in a jail cell while Ax skates... look at Sheldon Silver but then again he is not in jail is he?
By the way I also do love the gender neutral character who is a genius and clearly female... and not so neutral as she appears in every way they're set a little hints...
.@AsiaKateDillon presenting the first acting award in history that doesn't base nominees on gender. #MTVAwards
(My thoughts:
Asia amazing actor and the character and billions riveting -- Emma is terrific but I don't think she deserved the award... not that it really matters...
they're both very elequoent and filled with grace...
Maybe they set a precedent...
If would make you Oscars much shorter
For anyone reading my blog for years now you know I am whistleblower I started out as an artist and fell into whistleblowing starting with Rudy Giuliani's tech disaster a payroll system it's a shocking story that Michael Bloomberg inherited should've thrown out but the biggest story is Michael Bloomberg is 911 tech her option response to Rudy's huge mistake of not moving the emergency command center out of the World Trade Center after the first attack and creating a second command center but the problem was under Mike Bloomberg top contractors tied to Homeland security And overbilled grotesquely --- Only $60.5 million has been returned which is not even a penny on the dollar I bring this up because I'm going to ask you to watch the video below and help it go viral top NYPD cops were taking lavish gifts from contractors looking the other way as contractors delivered late delivered crap if there is G-d forbid another large-scale terrorist attack I believe the system will collapse yet again and by the way New Jersey you can text 911 but not New York City in the city spent over $2 billion !!!!
Rudy Giuliani and CityTime his deputy mayors becoming lobbyists SAIC a huge story never told... they tried to push through the SAIC MTA deal --
On a separate topic but seems somehow related whatever happened to the video cameras in the subway and have you noticed have a subway is like a Third World subway so did buy updated that I'm rainy days they can be electrical shorts that being said I'm very grateful for the subway in the hard work people put in to keep it running and so many people especially poor people moving --
Getting back to billions if you look at how in adequate and I'm loved and secure a person wasn't measured by how much wealth they had a display how much they needed attention how much money they need to feel that big black hole in there so that would definitely change celebrity worship wouldn't it
