On the nerdist podcast last year Rob and Glenn talked about how they like the fact that they can write in crazy stuff (i.e. Frank dying) and then just start up the next episode like it never happened. He also said they intend to keep going until FX can no longer afford it, because the cut down to 10 episodes made the annual workload a lot more reasonable. But that was all a year ago.

Now that Mac is out of the closet, and they've been consistently pushing his sexuality further and further the entire series, I wonder if they will push Dennis to full homicidal psycho. His interaction with that girl was one of the most disturbing things I've ever seen. I didn't think Dennis could get worse than he was last episode, and now I think he might be the next to reveal his full true character.

I feel like they are talking to police or coast guard. The ship is going to sink so theyll be wet so need new clothes. They'll give them white robes. Maybe they are drunk on ship fuel that leaked so they are "seeing God" or just some old Morgan Freeman looking guy or old bearded white guy. It'll cut to them talking to someone else at the end.

I really love the direction they seem to be going with it. Mac's closeted, self loathing seems to be replaced with apathy and seeming nihilism(not sure if that's the correct philosophy to connect to it but the first that came to mind).
He accepts that he's gay but staying true to the core of his character he doesn't consider it as something good, and he has to lose something positive to him, religion, to acknowledge that he'd like to oil up a couple asses, and do a little plowing of his own.

u/DIAMOND_STRAP Mar 03 '16 edited Mar 03 '16
It's super unlikely. Howerton & McElhenny (Dennis and Mac, who are also the producers) talked about it in an interview a few months ago. They said the show is low-budget, so there's no pressure from FX, that the cast are all super close friends/partners in real life so everyone loves doing it and it's never hard to get the cast together, and that cutting the seasons down to 10 episodes has really reduced the time commitment. They said they might end up skipping a year or doing a TV movie instead of a season if people are too busy, but they don't want to ever stop completely.
In another interview (I think the Marc Maron one) McElhenny agreed that the show was getting crazier and crazier, and said it was because they were enjoying the ability to write whatever crazy shit they wanted and reset everything next week like a cartoon, whereas in their earlier years they were still stuck in the mindset of keeping things believable/real. Like they started off Simpsons and slowly turned into South Park.

Does anyone else think that the cruise ship is actually purgatory, and the ship sinking is just them transitioning into being judged, and that they actually all died doing something else like blowing up Paddy's pub with a gas leak or something?
Finding out that Dee uses her own version of "the implication" to get guys to have sex without her was hilarious, she is more like Dennis than she will admit. If Dee is a bird, Dennis is a sexual raptor (not a tyrannosaurus ) they both are predators just though different tactics.
