How It Started For Loretta & Oliver vs. How It's Going

You don't understand, I would pay cold hard cash to have the unedited footage from the last scene between Oliver and Loretta.

I love how absolutely useless the police are, in the omitb universe.

They had Sazz's remains for days, yet they didn't realise that there were two left shoulders. Didn't even think to look up the serial numbers on them.

Honestly, at this point, I think they've given up and are just waiting for the trio to figure it out.

Okay but, the fact that Oliver is known for his eccentricities and narcissism but he literally says all he wants is to have someone to hold and adore.

Screaming, crying, throwing up.

Thoughts on the killer after 4x07

In the previous episode, I did suspect that the Westies know about Dudenoff being dead. When Charles mentioned the possibility that Dudenoff might be back in New York, Rudy and Vince got very defensive.

So, I wasn't really surprised by the Westies going to the Bodega to cash the cheques in Dudenoff's name.

Despite the fact that it's still too early in the season, one could argue that the Westies committing the murders would make some sense. Let's say, three years ago, Dudenoff told them that he needed the apartments because he wanted to sell them or whatever. They wouldn't be too happy about that and they all decided to kill him and hide his body, so that they could carry on living in their apartments and cashing his cheques.

I don't believe that's what happened frankly because the Westies don't fit the killer's profile. They don't have the stealth, the skill or the means to pull off two murders like that. What I do believe is that they're all involved in another way.

My theory is that three years ago, someone killed Milton Dudenoff- for some reason that I'm sure we'll find out. That killer is threatening the Westies with eviction or with a revelation of their illegal subletting, unless they do his bidding. So he's asking them to do various things as, let's say, collect Dudenoff's cheques from the Bodega.

Dudenoff and Sazz's killer is a very skilled, intelligent and stealthy person. They've managed to murder two people and hide their bodies in the incinerator without being noticed. So they wouldn't risk going to the bodega themselves, being caught on camera and using their own handwriting.

So, the killer killed Dudenoff as planned but something unexpected happened: the trio started a podcast about murders in the building. Even though, they were focusing on Tim Kono, the killer panicked that the trio would eventually find out about their own crime. So they started threatening the trio by poisoning Winnie and leaving Jan that message, hoping to scare them away and stop them from doing the podcast.

With three successful seasons, three murder cases solved and the podcast gaining popularity to a point that it's being made into a movie, it makes sense that the killer is in full on panic mode. They've even hung posters about ending the podcast, they put cameras everywhere on the trio's apartments and they're sending them creepy texts.

To recap, I personally believe that there is a mastermind behind all this. Someone who killed Dudenoff and then killed Sazz for knowing too much. I don't believe the killer wants the trio dead, I think they just want to scare them away. I don't think that the Westies are the killers, I just think they're the pawns in the mastermind's big game.

What do you think?

What started as a defense for two innocents accused of being bad snipers turned into a found-footage film about the murder of our mentor. Look, did we murder? Sure. We murdered the rules of narrative storytelling. But nothing more.

For the record, I don't trust Marshall one bit. He's too obsessed with the trio for my liking.

Also, don't completely trust the Westies either. They seemed defensive when Charles mentioned the possibility of Dudenoff being in New York, like they knew it couldn't be true since he's dead.

[hopelesslygeek]

Jesus Christ, this killer is the creepiest one yet.

It feels like the trio found their "Moriarty"

It's obviously someone who is physically strong and a trained sniper. Someone who can blend in the crowd, since they've shot someone in the Arconia twice now, and managed to leave unnoticed. Someone who has access in the trio's apartments and has been stalking them for a while, through the cameras. It's also someone who is smug, who likes to taunt the trio, make them feel scared. An all-round psychopath who was apparently responsible for Dudenoff's murder as well.

Honestly this season may be their best one yet, the blend of comedy and mystery/tension is incredible. They've really outdone themselves.
