I really like how they're taking the key, cannot be messed with qualities of the villains and NAILING them. Riddler is never as clever as he thinks he is. Penguin is a complete nutjob whenever he perceives he's been slighted. In many of the modern comic stories Penguin is SO MUCH WORSE. But the soul of it is there.

[@Reyna_Amaturi]

Now it makes sense why Oz got so frustrated whenever his mom would remember his brothers; it's because he wants her full attention to be on him and nobody else, and why he got a bit jealous when she showed some love and attention to Vic. Their relationship is more toxic than that of Tony Soprano with his mom

[@7thswordsmenofthemist]

No even close you must not remember sopranos well oz mom wud never attempt to have him murdered

[@themadtitan7603]

I like how they made it distinct from Tony & Livia since people were pointing comparisons to them since before the show came out. Where's both are messed up & rooted in Tony/Oz's need to please their mothers, the former lacks the love Tony craves while Oz gets more of it & it drives him to be the worst version of himself.

[@jeremycovelli]

I think I'm the only person who caught that Sal was taking heart medication in the prison. I love how every single scene in this show is part of the story, literally not one second of filler..

Good eye. I totally missed that

[@masterbrody2452]

seems to be, as i've seen a lot of ppl complain about sals death but he lost ALL his family, was stabbed, and Oz was intentially stressing him out which lead to the heart attack that was built up to from the scenes showing his meds

[@anothersphere]

I knew there was *something* that suggested potential heart strain/issues earlier in the show, but couldn't recall what. After getting out of prison, every bout of anger kinda showed it slipping.

This episode was incredibly hard to watch, in the best way possible. I'm impressed at how they establish the dynamic between the three brothers, endear you to them, and take it all away in the space of the first 8-10 minutes of the episode, all with naturalistic dialogue to boot. Kudos to the actors who play young Oz and young Francis as well, you can really imagine how their relationship evolved over time.

[@mianhussain2357]

I would love to watch how the director directed the kid to play young Oz, what a talent!

[@rottensquid]

The thing that blows me away about this show is how effortless it feels. It's brilliantly constructed and interconnected, through themes, character parallels, intricate plotting, and yet I don't feel the complexity. It all feels simple, even though it's anything but. And it moves. Most TV shows would take 30 episodes to cover this much change, this many twists and turns. Oz builds a drug empire in episode 6, and it's blown to bits in episode 7. But it doesn't feel rushed or condensed. Each story beat turns on a spacious moment between characters that feels wholly character-driven. It's absolutely confident, masterful writing and film crafting.

[@themadtitan7603]

@rottensquid This is maybe my biggest pro with the show so far, I've said this in another comment but the show's intricately crafted characterization, plotting, & level of detail in these two things evokes The Sopranos to me. Sal would be seen taking heart medication earlier on without it being the center of the scene & then die to a heart attack later just when he seems to be gaining the upper hand on Oz. Or Oz, speaking of, cunningly maneuvering & talking his way out of tough situations by using things he picked up or heard earlier. And as you said, the way the show "takes up space" by having its major plot progression & character development occur mostly without being constrained like it's lagging behind. But also not taking too much space that there are "filler", meandering episodes so we can see, e.g; Oz building up his drug empire or see it last a few episodes before it blows up, which is also benefitted by the episodes taking place a few in-universe weeks apart & the show showing that. Everything feels precise & specific following a thoroughly planned out layout to a certain endgame. Happening just at the right pace despite major developments happening episodes apart. And this is special for me because it's been a gripe I've had with many miniseries (especially the Marvel/Star Wars ones) nowadays.

[@StaminaMC]

Prior to this episode I'd have only expected those drug runners being murdered and strung up ('cos it made local TV news), and one other scenario I'm blanking on right now to have been something Bats couldn't feasibly overlook… but this? Yeah, let's see how they navigate it in the finale. I don't want him to show up, but I also want it to continue to make sense that he doesn't. EDIT: The head of the Maroni family being broken out of Blackgate was the other thing; something like that can't just be hand-waved away.

it's sad that he didn't mean what happened to his brothers but then he spun it into a woe-is-me tale with seemingly no guilt or regret over what actually happened. edit: it's chilling because he comes across as warm and human but he uses that to hide the fact that he can be cold-blooded, unlike the stereotypical psychopath who is visibly callous on the outside.

He never stopped it. We kept seeing Oz looking out the window while it rained, but he didn't look worried. Was he thinking they would die? He wasn't concerned enough to do anything.

@@recoil53 i think he hesitated the moment he closed the hatch that's why i believe it was not his primary intention to off them, but as he walked away, imho the idea solidified in his mind that they'll either get home on their own or not, but either way, he was not coming back for them. also, that moment when him and his mom were watching tv, he looked relieved that they haven't come home yet.
