So Emma’s finally important to the plot. This may just be the think to push Barry into living up to the family name. Also Jamal’s doing better than I expected; I was surprised to here him speaking. ---

So anybody else watching? I know Bassam would slid into dictator mode, but wasn’t expecting Molly to be egging him on while Leila is the source of reason (grant I still think a lot of what she says is an act, but she’s a very good actress). One way or another Bassam is going to be end up president for life. Next week is the season finale. ---

I gave up at the end of S1. Spoiler everything since for me, please? ---

Well I miscounted and _next_ week is the finale. :smack: Which is good because tonight’s episode wasn’t satisfying as a season/series finale. Molly’s sure became a icy bitch though. And Cogswell just ended his career. ---

I think that works as a [series finale](http://deadline.com/2016/09/fx-cancels-tyrant-after-three-seasons-last-episode-airs-tonight-1201814556/). Barry is not trapped in a Hell largely of his own creation. I was waiting for someone to remind him that he only serves at the pleasure of the military; especially after Molly tried to remind Maloof of who works for how. 😉 And as flimsy as her claim to the presidency is, Leila’s inauguration was fun. I’m pretty sure that was the first reference to Abuddin even having a constitution. They never mentioned any kind of legislature, even during the elections (dictatorships usually have a rubber stamp one for appearances sake). ---

It’s too late to edit; that should read “Barry is _now_ trapped in a Hell…” :smack:
