Enemies List is available to stream now via Paramount+ with Showtime.
It will make its Showtime debut on Sunday, October 15 at 8 p.m. Bobby Axelrod just doesnt work as a supporting character.
And that was just this episode alone!
In case you couldnt tell, Im conflicted by the Axe homecoming.
On the one hand,Billionsis infinitely better whenever Damian Lewis is onscreen.
That is an undeniable fact.
Chuck giving Axe the Thank God youre here cliche?
Did ithaveto take the entire episode for Axe to devise a workable plan?
Of course not, but whats a drama without tension?
Because if he does, she will be the one to suffer the consequences, not Axe.
What a time for Chuck to literally call in thatBIG favorfrom Axe.
So long,Zen Axe, because Mike Prince has just awakened the sleeping giant that is Yonkers Axe.
Threatening Axe is one thing, but threatening Wendy Rhoades?Big mistake, big, huge.
Just likeBryan Connerty told Kate Sacker a few episodes ago.
Speak of the devil (or is she?
kindly tell me shes a double agent forsomeonein the government.
Shes too smart not to have a long game.
Also curious is Kates recruitment of Chucks SDNY colleague Amanda Torre at a Women in Criminal Law breakfast.
Another character whos been unfairly stuck with the short end of the stick all season is Taylor Mason.
It feels likeBillionsdoesnt know what to do with them.
Unfortunately, sending them off to Haddon Hall wasnt the answer either.
What they dont know is that obliterating Wendys career was only Princes first move.
So she has Rian help her do a deeper dive into Mentals financials.
Youve heard of boy math and girl math, right?
Well, Rian says Mental has been doing Enron math.
(Would someone hey explain why Bobby Axelrod is suddenly Captain America?)
NFT Scammer Son fromepisode four), who is now on a plane back home to Taiwan.
Chuck doesnt argue; there is no use having a fight before Princes big night tonight.
And now were about to get the full Bobby Axelrod weve missed for two whole seasons.
How did Axe secure his release?
So glad you asked, Mikey!
See, Chuck lied to him about Kai Huang Lius safe return to Taipei.
Yeah, not so fast.
Again, Prince shrugs it off.
(I mean, they do, but Axe is on a roll here.)
In return, Derek will keep his mouth shut.
He tried to warn him against focusing on his enemies because by doing so, Prince woke upallhis enemies.
And to quote Bono, Axe is now wide awake.
Loose Change
Sorry, Corey Stoll, but youre noPaul Giamatti doing Jeffrey DeMunn-as-Senior.
That Damian Lewisas-Axe impression fell flatter than a pancake (eater).
Prince wanting U2 to play Until the End of the World at his gala was a poetic choice.
(TheAchtung Babytune is a fictional conversation between Jesus Christ and Judas Iscariot.)
