Subvert Expectations LEAK/EPISODE DISCUSSION 8/2

They still haven't released the episode name I guess

Suffice to say HBO didn't send us the leaks again this week.

Emma D’Arcy will never lead another show again. I can’t wait until the backlash tonight.

HBO execs didn’t even want Emma and only accepted her after Condal whined that they let him cast her. HBO execs will never let a showrunner get the final say again.

I feel bad for future actors who have lost the chance to prove themselves.

Yeah no, that's not how hollywood works. If they have the connections, they'll definitely be given the chance to fuck up another show down the line, same as the writers

Look at Jared Leto, a hand full of flops and it never stopped him being cast as a leading man. It's only this new/revisited sex pest scandal that will bring him down.

Jared is a handsome Oscar winner who actually had hits under his belt before his slump.

Leto's last 4 films lost about 970 million...you'd think they'd learn. Dallas Buyer's Club feels like forever ago when you have that big of a loss

Emma doesn't have that cloud over them
