First off, let me say I watch the show two to three times on Tivo, but damn Double Down, you must take notes like it's a football game. I don't know what kind of sports writer you are, but I truly think you missed your calling. You should be a TV or movie critic.
On some of the points brought up here:
I still don't know if Michael was molested. I know obviously everything is laid out there, but is this the first sign that we see a dark side from him. Is his true prelude to being a master of the game and the streets that he pulled one over on everybody -- letting them believe he was molested -- just to get what he wanted, which is control of the house, because that's the only way he will know for sure that his little brother is taken care of in the best possible way. By him.
As smart as this writer is, a drastic plot twist would not be out of the question.
And speaking of plot twists, I'm convinced now that Michael and Namond are about to head down opposite roads. With Bunny seeing what Namond comes from, I almost think that he will somehow save him. And if what everybody else says, Michael will get into the game.
I said it before and I'll say it again. Omar will bring Marlo down, sending him to prison, not killing him, like he has done with other major players. I've always thought it, from the time Omar had that quote in the courtroom ... I got the shotgun. You got the briefcase. It's all in the game though, right?
I've always liked Omar (just not in the way Omar might like me).
Among the others I've always liked is Slim Charles. I don't know if he'll be the next ruler or not, but I'm rooting for him. He's just too close to Prop Joe not to turn into a major player.
It's amazing how the show can make us find compasion in those that on the outside look so heartless. We've obviously seen it in Chris, beating down the stepdad for Michael. I think he showed it to us in Marlo, too, more than once. For some reason I want to believe he sent Chris and Snoop out to do the stepdad because he felt sorry for the kid. Not because he felt like it would be a way for Michael to feel like he would then owe him something.
Also, he more or less lets Randy off the hook and decided to off Little Kevin instead. He could have easily had both of them killed. Instead, he decided (in a round about way) teach Randy a lesson putting the snitch word out on the street. I refuse to believe there's nothing that Randy can't weasel his way out of. He'll live, but only because ...
When Bunk finds out that Herc is worthless, he'll then scoop Randy up before he is harmed. However, we may lose contact with him on the show. I just see them putting him in a witness relocation foster home.
