Right, I meant, despite having had the same experience as Rusty’s for most of his life, he hasn’t held on to this baggage and thus has “progressed as a fuller person”.

But Jonas’s experience is limited to Rusty’s is it not? Or, because he’s the “better man” so to speak, perhaps he has a broader perspective than his brother.

Jonas Venture Jr. perhaps? It’s not clear that he had any pop-culture baggage, living inside Rusty all those years, but he somehow managed to learn English so presumably he had exposure to all the things that Rusty did.

any chance you’ll loop back and tackle the back half of season 4? I’d _love_ to read your thoughts on “Everybody Goes to Hank’s” and “Operation P.R.O.M.”

The only major character that comes to mind is Triana, who has her own past to deal with, but not her own pop-culture baggage.

I’m going by Senzuri’s actions. He delivers a classic bad-guy send off, “You have served your master well,” then looks chagrined and disappointed when it turns out Kikai is still alive.

I always thought that Senzuri’s curing of his henchman’s smoking was intentional (especially as he incapacitates the boys later on), but I can see how it plays the way you describe it, too.

According to the creators, the show’s primary theme is “failure”.

Hoo boy is it ever.
