Thought the premiere was good but not great. The speech was the best part.

Veep has been renewed for Season 5!

We'll see how this goes...

 

[Dan]

I didn't get this one.

Lee Harvey Oswald assassinated John F Kennedy from the sixth floor window of the Texas School Book Depository.

Lee Harvey Oswald assassinated John F Kennedy from the sixth floor window of the Texas School Book Depository.

Supposedly.

Spoiler

/s

Veep is seriously so killer. The mixture of public humiliation and unbridled rage are so satisfying. Was worried about the premier now that the foundation shifted again, but it's still got it. Bigger and bigger fuck-ups!

 

[RatskyWatsky]

Aha, I see. Funny stuff. Thanks.

 

[Immortal Technique]

so good

also

Dude, you nailed the two best lines of the ep.


Poor Gary I feel everyone else is making out good with Selina being president but he's getting a raw deal

New episode tonight:

East Wing

Spoiler

The president's staff prepares for her state visit with the Israeli prime minister; Mike tries out a new look; Teddy does Jonah a favor; Amy learns that Selina is bringing in a new director of communications; Gary goes overboard planning a dinner.

 

[royalan]

What a tense argument, but it really summed up Selena and Gary's weird relationship. Great scene.

 

[Vyer]

That Gary scene was absolutely great. Great build up to it to. When this show is on the pacing is phenomenal.

[Invictus]

It's like high school all over again.

Kinda, but MUCH bigger.

The Katherine Kent scene was amazing.

 

[Burt]

Yeah, great episode.

"You've simultaneously made my day and ruined his!"

Anyone know what happened on Labor Day? Can't remember.

And wow, that Patton Oswalt nutpat.

 

[Dan]

Haha, poor Catherine and her unlikable dented head.

Anyone know what happened on Labor Day? Can't remember.

This is not something from a previous episode. It's something we don't know about and obviously worse than everything else we've seen Gary do for Selina.

 

[Hazmat]

Gary during her remarks at the dinner was great. You can always tell a Milford man.

 

[Burt]

Haha, poor Catherine and her unlikable dented head.

Ah thanks, makes sense. I missed a bunch of last season so wasn't sure if it was from something previous or it was that.

 

[Hamlet]

Great episode and so many great moments.
Poor Catherine ha "Catherine America doesn't like you"

 

[reelbigtink]

This was a huge improvement over the premiere. Lots of jokes landed for me, especially Amy's face freezing on her video call.

And that Gary/Selina scene was incredibly tense and awesome.

 

[RatskyWatsky]

That scene between Gary and Selina was fantastic.

 

[dead souls]

It truly was.

 

[Jigorath]

Richard is becoming the funniest character on the show.

 

[Peru]

Catherine is becoming the funniest character on the show.

Pretty much. Although it's good we don't get her every episode so it feels more special.

 

[Jigorath]

Pretty much. Although it's good we don't get her every episode so it feels more special.

Nah.

 

[i_am_ben]

Better than last week but it's yet to truly hit its stride.


That said Selina had an actual policy win this week! That's something.

 

[War Peaceman]

Kent meeting Catherine was incredible. "Let's turn that frown into an inverted frown"

Actually every line it is sublime

 

[talisayNon]

Catherine was hilarious even last season. I hope this season shows her slide into becoming more neurotic like Selina.

[Grifter]

Loved everything about Amy in traffic. The other press guy's (Will?) face after finding out he was being fired/demoted was simultaneous so funny and sad.

 

[Don Draper's Hat]

So what do we think happened on Labour Day?

I'm going for an abortion. Although that would obviously involve a few more people,

Spoiler

unless Gary has a spare coat hanger

, so maybe not that.

I'm thinking

Spoiler

he had to wipe her butt or something extremely body personal for some reason

Not something that would be a scandal but extremely servile for Gary.

 

[Aguero9320]

Love this show. Helps that Iannucci is a god to me. Never put a foot wrong.

Alan Partridge.
Armistice.
Day Today.
Time Trumpet.

And of course, Veep inspiration The Thick of It.

Utter genius.

Every single damn person that watches Veep needs to watch The Thick Of It and In The Loop. You owe it to yourselves.

 

[mclem]

Am I imagining it, or did the person Gary seemed somewhat familiar with laying out decorations for the state dinner (an interior designer?) have *very* Selina-esque mannerisms?

Wonder if there's a storyline on the way on that front.

Edit: Patty, Social Secretary:

Edit: Also, something that struck me when I noticed it, given the building layout is fundamentally the same: Sue is Selina's Mrs. Landingham!

 

[Discotheque]

No doubt. In the loop is prolly easier to get into (and it's a movie which amy is also in)

Prolly one of the best comedy films of all time imo

 

[Clevinger]

Right when I was thinking "Richard is funny but Amy keeping him around is a little too silly," she dumps him off to Jonah. I love it.

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

Kent meeting Catherine was incredible. "Let's turn that frown into an inverted frown"

Actually every line it is sublime

"…upside down?"
"If you will."

- Sneak peek scene from Sunday's episode

 

[JDSN]

Im glad that scene with Selena and Gary happened, she was really close to be completely unlikable but that mutual deescalation really showed that they care for each other, as much as someone can care in an Ianucci production that is.

Not really feeling that sexual assault subplot, no pun intended.

 

[Cornballer]

New episode tonight:

Data

Spoiler

Selina's team tries to find a scapegoat for a data breach; Catherine wants to support an anti-bullying campaign; Dan tasks Richard and Jonah with buying fireworks for a campaign rally; the president hosts the annual Easter Egg Roll.

 

[Burt]

Jonahhhh nooo

I'll miss your Easter Island head

 

[talisayNon]

"Some guy fucked a monkey"

"It's not Saturday night"


Holy shit at that ending

 

[addik]

Maaan, I feel bad for Dan. I didn't want Ben to go either, but oh well...

I loved the scene with Selina talking to the Marine in the bunny costume. Man, I was dying of laughter.

Doyle's Chief-of-Staff is now just plain disturbing.

 

[the_firewithin]

I love every scene Catherine is in

[Hazmat]

For some reason the exchange about the apple early on killed me.

"Is it a good apple?"
"It's a baking apple."
"Fuck 'em."

 

[Hamlet]

Pretty good episode. The easter bunny talking about the horrors of his past tours had me in stitches. Ben's reaction to Dan confronting him was also great.

 

[MetalFearSolid]

Wow poor Dan took the fall. Sucks. Ben threatened his ass nicely don't fuck with this administration.

Need to get caught up on this, I couldn't wait for the season to start and I haven't even seen a single one yet. Too busy re-watching Game of Thrones for the start of Season 5!
