Well that was weird. Good, but weird. The ending was the best part though. Made me laugh out loud.

Probably the weakest Episode so far this season, but it was still very entertaining
I think the Burton guy was mentioned in a news flash last season

ep 7 is titled
The Most Powerful Man in the World (and His Identical Twin Brother)
Maybe we haven't seen the last of him 🤔

Christ that episode. Love how the scene with "God" played on humanities lust for purpose and meaning. Fucking incredible

Doesn't launching a nuke require inputting a password as well? Also, wouldn't you have to input target coordinates first?

Nuclear subs are designed to be more independent than the usual land systems.
Look up letters of last resort for an idea of what crews do when command has broken down and they are left with nobody to answer to.
Going with the everything is a delusion possibility, Kevin could have easily seen him on TV and placed him in his imaginary hotel as "God"

Someone on Reddit translated the french whispers in the opening, presumably spoken by Naked Submarine Guy. Basically he was trying to stop the end of the world.

Laurie and Matt's snipes at each other were my favorite part of this episode.
Oh shit, that's where I knew him from. I couldn't place it.

Season 2 was a marked improvement over season 1, but I don't know how I feel about what has come out of season 3 yet. I feel like the ending will turn it for me; if it's not satisfying, then you basically get a Lost/Mass Effect 3 situation.

That was a crazy ride, but pretty awesome as well. I liked the acceptance by Matt at the end. The realisation of his desperation, and what it had led him to, and then how the conversation made him re-evaluate where he was, and what he'd become.
I also really liked how they subverted TV expectations. With any other show, where a truth hidden comes out, you'd expect wild emotional histrionics from the deceived, but they didn't go that route, at all.

Matt always has the strongest episodes and this one in particular ended up being best of the season for me
Love that ending. Might as well have played the curb your enthusiasm music at the end when the lion attacked him lmao
This show is so good at morbid humor. I am left more impressed with it everytime they attempt it.
I'm hoping that this shakes his faith in Kevin as a new messiah as he realizes how easily swayed he is when he wants to believe in something. It's no coincidence that he just so happens to go all in on yet another guy who claims he's God just because of an unreliable anecdote about cheating death.
To me this show has always been about con artists (whether they themselves know it or not) taking advantage of the hopeless and people searching for purpose, and cashing in on the departure exacerbating people's need for faith in anything.
Like look at all these cases: the black cult guy in season 1, guilty remnant, miracle Texas, that hobo guy on the giant platform, Kevin/Christ 2.0, the scientists who claim to know how to get you departed etc. Its a recurring point of this show to manipulate people's need for faith.

It's such an obvious thing, but man that moment when Matt screamed at him "IT WAS ALL FOR YOU", and Burton calmly points out that no, it was Matt being selfish was so so so great.
Also, I really enjoyed how they handled the mysterious David Burton. You kind of recognize him from the International Assassin episode, badly want know why he was in Kevin's dreamworld (and why he was corresponding with the pillar prophet in Jarden), and he gets eaten by a fucking lion.

Does anyone think that
the GR are alive? The last scene with Meg was she talking about a magic trick with disappearing tigers. I don't know how they would put that in just three episodes but it's kinda lazy to me that they just bombed them off the show.

They are very much dead.
They rampaged a town, no real way for them to end it other than a standoff and a Waco ending.
Story is better without them at this point

Well yeah, it'll be weird to bring them back. Is just that I think on how they erased them from the show and it's underwhelming, is not that they were super interesting or anything but it feels like Poochie from the Simpsons.

The story line is done, doesnt mean it was errased. We just had a major segment of the last two episodes call back to the killing of them

Because he is a preacher being put into morally dubious situations and is breaking his convictions for the sake of what ever he is after.
Basically a microcosm of the shows love for juxtaposition. A preacher in an orgy, funny music while nukes are launched, etc
I would, yes. S03 is a masterpiece in my opinion, first two seasons were hit and miss, but mostly hit.

Gonna hop in and get started on this very soon, re-upped my HBO last night. So excited. Enjoyed season 1, though it was hit or miss, but season 2 may be my favorite season of a TV series ever. Amazing stuff.

Goddamn was that a fun episode. Intro with the nuke launch was great. Nice to see that actor I dug from from Night Of. I thought he was going to kill Matt at the end after he untied him. That scene was really tense. And the ending with the lion was perfect.
First shot with the submarine I immediately thought of LOST and chuckled. CG subs have improved a bit since then.

God was the guy from the bridge in International Assassin right? What's the connection?
Could be connected to his "death"

I watched that episode on acid, and the intro song/intro scene was just wild.
