Shortcuts to all Shining Time Station season and associated episode guides are provided at the top and bottom of every page. The first season of the American political drama television series The West Wing aired in the United States on NBC from September 22, 1999 to May 17, 2000 and. I use to like Rasheeda. Now I feel like shes that low key shady friend. As long as shes doing better than you, shell be your friend. Its season 2, and our hedge fund fellows are itching to get back into Axe Capital. The Anime Economy Part 1 Lets Make An AnimeI dont really know where to put this but I just feel like I should say this show has the perfect opportunity to be about the weak men who run the world eventually being defeated by the powerful women who have to put up with them. But, well see. Anyway, in other storylines my favorite goofball Mafee gets schooled by his intern Taylor who shows him how to save 1. I cant get over how endearing this scene is with Mafee having no idea how to woo Taylor to stay on after the internship and being so genuinely distraught when he thinks he messed up Taylors food order. When I say that this episode was mostly a bunch of chess moves, less plot, you better believe there was an elaborate chess metaphor. Our three favorite lawyers Bryan Connerty, Kate Sacher, and Lonnie Watley wonder who will be Head of Criminal Prosecution at the retirement party for the guy who currently holds the position. Chuck makes it clear that they should probably remain loyal to him or face the unknown with his replacement. But not before he tells a crazy long story about playing chess in Washington Square Park. It was a good game until he saw his opponent cheat. But rather than call him out he folds, but threatens, in a whisper, the guy saying he could make his life hard so that guy better not cheat again. He says he wants his lawyers to act with purpose and control to create a more just environment. Obviously on its face it makes sense that even though theyre in retreat mode now, they should be making moves to keep prosecuting the bad guys. But whats funny about this story is that he still, technically lost the game, right And also, it shows that the only people who Chuck can intimidate are guys who are already pretty vulnerable men who make money playing chess in the park to begin with. Still Chucks position is becoming more and more vulnerable too. Oliver finds out about the 5 million bonus Axe gave Wendy last season, a transaction that took place right before Chuck dropped his case against Axe Capital. But, Oliver comes to the wrong conclusion he thinks it was a bribe. If he actually dug deeper here, he couldve found out Chucks real mistake. And then at the end of the episode Im pretty sure Oliver makes another wrong conclusion. He confronts Bryan in perhaps his only kind of menacing moment I would like to believe that the arc of storytelling bends towards justice but again, this guy is the worst and says he knows Bryan placed the phone call to tip him off to misconduct. Watch The Tender Hook Hindi Full Movie. Bryan looks nervous and that ends the episode. Didnt Axe say earlier that he was responsible for it IDK, well find out soon. This episode is all about punching Chuck while hes down so lets now get to Axes aggressive racetrack plans. He knows he cant sue Chuck alone, so he has his lawyer contact everyone whos ever been wronged by Chuck for a united attack. So later when Chuck helps a man who pretty brutally falls off his bike, he gets served with 1. Dear readers, I would pay all of my billions of dollars pennies. But not in a sad way. Like, a banker. Anyway, on top of that Oliver has told the Attorney General about the 5 million dollars. Chuck gets a call from her asking to meet Thursday. He assumes this is his invitation to the guillotine, the end of the line. But In the finale last season Chuck said he was dangerous because he had nothing to lose and hes only gotten knocked down even more. At the beginning of the episode Chucks karate teacher tells him what will probably become the thesis for this season or instantly disproven in the next episode. If he can master the moves he can generate offense out of defense even off. Hes being more careful in the office, watching his back, talking about extinction level events that are fated to happen. Hes unhealthily obsessed with destroying Rhoades, hes having Wendy followed. When Axe went to talk to Wendy this episode I thought about her name. Wendy originated as a name with Peter Pan, the boy who wouldnt grow up. Wendy and Peter were friends but he also wanted her to be his mother surrogate. Sure, Axe is definitely grown up, but his masculinity is so so fragile, that Wendy and her intelligence, her insight, are of course exactly what he needs and exactly what hes not getting. So of course hes going to extremes, not thinking clearly. I mean, he had a racer run a lap for dramatic effect, while revealing his arch plan to take down Chuck. Hes making some big moves but perhaps, in trying to control everything and destroy Chuck so entirely, hes missing something. And with that I leave you.
