I don't have anything terribly intelligent to say here, but once again, there was nothing here I didn't love. I don't want this show to end, but I love that it's ending so strong.

Damn, John Goodman continues to look really good, historically speaking.

Jason Isaacs wore a prosthetic [cosmo] in The White Lotus, and here Goggins' wasn't his. Either time [gq]. I'm all for full frontal but what gives about only going half way?

Baby Billy's monstrous member is surely no less mammoth than Goggins' own, of course, but I think -- modesty aside -- the fake dongery gave them the opportunity to craft the weird dangly old man balls that Baby Billy, around 70, might have that Goggins probably, hopefully, does not. Someone spent a lot of time making those. Practical FX, baby! No one did that on a computer, I'll bet. I just watched Kraven the Hunter, and millions of dollars of CGI still produced lions and tigers that looked more like Falkor from The Never-Ending Story than any beast from real life, so I'd be astonished to learn that cock and balls was created any other way than by good old-fashioned hands-on ingenuity and a lot of latex. And by studying a lot of weird dangly old man balls. Give that artist an Emmy! And a number for a good therapist.
