On the season finale of “House of Lies”, Marty welcomed the US to the new economy, where only the meanest, smartest and richest will survive.
“The Mayan Apocalypse” episode, was anything but catastrophic, though we did feel like Marty’s address to us all was a rare misstep for the normally smooth yet strong spoken Kaan. It is they who ought to have been welcoming Marty to the US most of us have known for all long. To make use of the way Marty put it, as of the mean, smart, shag nuts that wasn’t going to survive the merger; they would have joined our ranks and become of those they speaks to each week when breaking down that fourth wall.
Aside from that Occupy Gal weather moment, we thought the finale did well to give the series last opportunity to show its teeth, depicting how, despite their fine grooming and nice behavior, Marty and his pod are a disagreeable bunch of junk yard canines.
All of us knew Marty was waiting for Jeannie to step up and be the Norma Rae they needed, but the way they blew the lid on the firm’s culture of quid pro quo advancement and the Rainmaker’s predilections was far more spectacular than I had expected. For a character who all season had such an aura of wisdom and superiority about him, Marco’s speech to the firm appeared out of character – but proved what a two-faced self-serving prick they was. There wasn’t person we don’t think who felt sorry about his demise at the hands of Marty and friends.
For someone who claimed to be nice at reading people’s behavior Marty ought to not have been so shocked to learn Roscoe had moved out. They have needed to get his house in order for some time, but an empty home does not necessarily make for an orderly. With the merger squashed though perhaps they finally will find the time to focus on what matters.
We will miss our new friends at Gal weather. We have really enjoyed the every week banter between Clyde and DJ Guggenheim, as well as, the give and take between Marty and Jeannie, which reached a whole new level of intensity this week when they locked eyes and drank repeatedly to the blower uppers in life. We have long said they is the closest thing to an equal for Marty (aside from Monica) and we think they finally realized that tonight.
Doug could not see what was going on but Clyde knew to sit back and watch his pod mates toast each other. It was a great touch, having Clyde wear the Gal weather Group banner around his shoulders like the hide of a fresh kill.
What do you think will happen in the aftermath of Jeannie’s speech? Will they and Marty take their relationship to the next level? Will the Rainmaker seek retribution for Marty sleeping together with his daughter?
