-Harper recommenced with her plans of domination which much like last week, feels like an awakening of an monster being born and subsequently wrecking havoc. Her cool, brazen, prospective delivery among the respective banks felt like she was on her own wavelength, however unlike a week ago where she was fully consumed by urges and ambitions, basically this week she was in a mode where she was more controlled and shrewd as far as making plays and executing goes as well, I will say I never imagined her at all throwing a hail mary at DVD to basically bring him in at all. Either Harper will allow her cold ambition ultimately consume and derail her completely until she is fully and unwittingly ousted from the banking world or she will end up on top but with unburdened soul as well. Daria was a wakeup and rude reminder shes a small fish attempting to be a shark as well.
- Yasmine I am of two minds about right now, one one hand she made a great point regarding her former managers utter hypocrisy and lackluster contradiction, as he also was partially responsible for enabling a workplace like that for poor yaz, however it was the wrong situation really for Yazmine basically to assail Kennys words and feasibly she came off just as sanctimonious and enabling perhaps regarding the very culture which shaped her in a way, her scene with poor Venetia was an illustration regarding how the vicious cycle continues both in gradual and subtle ways ultimately.
-Gus... I am actually starting to really immensely enjoy his story arc which is a complete contrast as well from the beginning of the season where it felt really initially aimless and ineffectual, now has more than a meager purpose and part of that might be due to how integrated he is with basically each main characters storyline on some level. He is genuinely inciting developments for Harper and Blooms storyline which as I said earlier within the season would be necessary for him as a character.
-DVD.. I am actually starting to like as a character and am unequivocally happy I misread his character. In a way aside from his generally amiable, reassuring, composed demeanor his story arc distinctively feels like an inverse of Gus story arc in a way, whereas Gus realized he would attain more from his station in life outside of the whole industry, DVD has further ingratiated himself and has the power and means to actually effect change from an internal standpoint as well, both ultimately became cogs in a wheel but utilized their ultimate standings and realizations to differing degrees as well. His breakdown within the bathroom was an emotionally resounding scene as well.
- Eric.. as Vito Corleone once lamented, "look what they've done to my boy." His cadence is very notably lackluster and passive, carrying on with supernatural motifs, hes like a ghost almost drifting among the living, his usual boorish elocution, replaced with a wearisome nobility, he is completely resigned to whatever happens and its sort of melancholic honestly, he is like a spirit stuck in a very strange land.
- Rishi was great this week and I am glad we got so much notable dialogue from him. He acted as a very grounded, assertive buffer between Eric and Harper, as well as pragmatic when needed. He was very necessary for both as he kept them tethered to reality and remembering the stakes at play.
- Rob had his own crisis of conscience this whole week and it further exemplified how his vices and his morals have sort of become intertwined and warped with Nicoles actions this week. His need to stay seated on the wagon, juxtaposing his realization of doing the right thing but ultimately being very late when acting, feels like it further illustrates Rob's character as a whole. He wants to do right and ultimately act good, but furthermore either his attempts feel misguided because they get clouded with extraneous problems and factors or ultimately he does the right thing too late, like with Venetia, as said before I am rooting for him, but throughout this whole episode he continues basically miscalculating every instance, which might signal his career at Pierpoint as well, between waiting until its way too late to report the abuse, giving DVD unsolicited details, and not choosing a much more perhaps prompt fashion to do so perhaps what Rob may need is ultimately to find a career which allows him an ability to find himself and find a a stable center so the demons don't consume him at all.
- Venetia is also growing on me as a character, an embodiment basically of the next and newer culture, she demands respect but not at the real expense and cost of mutual equity in doing so, however she did overstep by going to the dinner( I am not saying her SA was justified or deserved at all) Venetia currently still has a sanctimonious streak, but basically her assault seems like a catalyst for her new character development as well.
- Adler pretty much further illustrated with DVD where he currently positioned with anybody beneath him, I am disliking Adler more and more which obviously would be the whole intent as well.
- Bloom acting as a wizard of Oz type within his trading cave felt weirdly like another shoe dropping, even basically mirror the scene from the whole film where the Wizard generously hands all main characters what they where seeking all along, in Gus case he also attained what basically he was looking for as well.
- I am guessing this show will not be renewed due to no news regarding its current fate and its a low performer for HBO and while that bums me out greatly its been a fun journey discussing this whole amazing series with all of you. Its not a perfect series at all and will never be on HBO's catalogue for possible top shelf shows but was a unique, fresh invigorating experience focusing on a industry currently in which many of our real world problems stem from. I wonder if it ultimately ends with possibly Harper, Rob, and Yasmine all leaving Industry as a way to find something more fulfilling in life and find ultimate peace and satisfaction as well.
