This show has always had (or at least tried to have) witty references, but it really felt like scriptwriters writing a script this time around, rather than natural dialogue. Some of them were very forced.
Damian Lewis returning would've been a nice surprise, had the streaming services not plastered his face all over the place. But I guess they needed to signal to people that the show might not suck anymore. (Season 6 sucked.)
Decent start. Let's hope the final season ends on a high note. The last couple of seasons have been mediocre, to put it mildly.
great come back to this show
Yes Axelrod is back. Finally this show can get back to being great.
blowjob blowjob blowjob blowjob blowjob blowjob blowjob
BahahaHahaha.
Oh my God I love this show.
Thankfully I missed all the hype before watching this start to the final season. But loved the return of Axe scene. Let’s hope for more of the first five seasons then there is of season six…
I miss Joe’s pizza. One of the best pizza.
So glad that the show is back and is getting back on track.
Bobby fucking Axelrod.
Didn't watch any trailers or news concerning the new season, so I didn't expect him. What a pleasant surprise and really looking forward to the rest of the season!

If you want to be clever, please actually be:
"Germany has been the anvil for too long" (rough translation) has been Said by Bernhard von Bülow, the German Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs in 1899 (December 11th 1899 to be precise).
And he was probably refering to something by Goethe:
"You must either conquer and rule or serve and lose, suffer or triumph, be the anvil or the hammer."
I'm not saying that behaving like a hammer and forcing people to do what you want is right. But isn't that exactly where Americans WANT to see their country? Being free themselves while forcing everyone else to do things the way they want them to?
I guess my point is:
Just because Hitler said something, it wasn't necessarily coined by him. Usually he put it into the context and THAT makes it kind of weird to hear someone say it.
But especially this phrase had been used before with EXACTLY the same meaning.
Wouldn't be too bad if Wendy knew and associated it with Hitler, but Taylor is usually a knowitall and probably should know that the origins go back further.
P.S.: I had to research it myself - but I think that is something you can expect a writer to do if they want to use our dark history for dramaturgic effect.
