    I got some ideas floating in my head. This season we heard a lot about language and words, especially telling Milkshake how to speak and the Eagans use outdated language. With Milkshake it felt like they want to program him to do or feel something. I got pseudoscience vibes like Neuro-linguistic programming.

    I really hope we see Irv again. I want to know what he knows, how he discovered it and who he called. Irvs and Burts love story is more important to me than Gemma/Helly and Mark.

    Looking into the future I also hope we see Rickon again. He is cringe and probably evil and I don’t get why Devon is with him.

    I am sooo hyped for the last episode.

      Rickon is a fool, not a villain, I propose. He is verbally skilled (sort of) but really just a puppydog who wants his writing validated. That’s very easy for anyone who has tried the creative life to understand.

      For that reason, I find him sympathetic yet pitiable. He may very well be used as the tool he is by Lumon. But the whole time he will believe it’s the best thing. A schmuck, not a mastermind.
