WHOA NELLY!

Warning: Spoilers
After episode, upon episode, of the mundane and trite; Billions finally went back to it's roots! This episode was the first time I liked Mike as much as Bobby...The "owl" thing may go over many people's heads, At least those who have never heard of Bohemian Grove...I guess they still had to include Moloch *the occult owl symbol ( google "owl on dollar bill") to appease "them" ...

Anyway, the IV character was pretty intense and they let some real cats out of the bag, which, as a student of the government and a USAF veteran, proud of his nation, yet seeing the underhanded intentions of agenda driven social engineering monsters, It made me excited to see the issues as addressed... I love the subterfuge and it's like they have the whole destroying Mike thing on the back burner now... It's interesting again... Great episode!

This series should have ended when Axe (Damian Lewis) got on the jet, and escaped to Switzerland, at the end of Season 5. The stupid, arcane, cultural references, which used to be sparingly clever, now torment and taunt us in every other sentence. The smug, self-righteous: I'm-so-clever-and-so-much-smarter-than-you takes, make you want to padlock the writers room! If you wanted to deliberately destroy this series, you could not do a better job than the writers and producers have done this Season 7!

And, I'm not even going to touch the repulsive storyline with Wags! (David Costabile)

To paraphrase Burt Lancaster, as J. J. Hunsecker, in something truly great, The Sweet Smell of Success: "You're dead Billions get yourself buried!"
