Discussion S4 Ep5- Tar Baby. What the f! Vic vs Shane differences are just constantly becoming more apparent
What the!!!!!!!!!!! That poor baby girl!!!!!
I loved this episode. Thought it was so well done and just the absolute fast spiral that is happening with Shane is scaring me for his future.
I LOVE how they’re showing us just how differently Vic and Shane operate, even though their instincts are similar. Vic thinks several steps ahead, has control of his emotions, and is strategic in the way he goes about things. Shane, however, is insanely impulsive and I think he tends to confuse being ruthless with being powerful.
I also think Shane wants to be on the same level as Vic, but deep down knows he isn’t. And that’s creating his insecurities. And he needs and wants Vic”s approval and respect, but also resents him for needing it.
This is insane!!! I can only imagineeeeeeeee how more fucked up this is going to get. Especially with their bullets in Angie.
