Minority Mindset

Slow Horses is a show full of unexpected turns, and it seemed very likely that Roddy had been tricked by an attractive woman who was much more sophisticated than him. Even Jackson Lamb, who initially doubted Shirley’s idea that Roddy was intentionally targeted by the vehicle that almost hit him, started to pay attention when he learned about Roddy’s romantic life. “It seems suspicious,” he tells Roddy at his place, “but nothing bothers me more than finding out someone is actually happy to be with you.” Especially after the last scene of the previous episode, where Tara politely turned down Roddy’s flirtations and then immediately called for help as soon as he left, it was clear he was being deceived.

That’s especially true in “Brett Coyote’s Last Stand,” which skillfully ties up multiple storylines from the season in its slightly longer, 40-minute runtime. The episode starts with both central couples (Will-Sylvia and Sylvia-Charlie) experiencing relatable, subtle conflicts. There’s no real worry that Sylvia and Charlie will get divorced – that didn’t seem to be a concern for them, or for Platonic, this season. However, there is a noticeable tension in their marriage due to accumulated frustrations and poor communication. This creates dramatic tension while still keeping the show light and easy to watch.

Who’s in on this game with Stella? It’s Celine, naturally. Don’t let Celine’s stylish bob fool you; she’s a real instigator. As soon as Stella says she’s thinking about a deal with Cory Ellison, Celine figures Cory must have something over her. That’s the only reason Stella would even consider it. It’s not shocking that Celine understands Stella so well; she’s pretty perceptive about most things, except when it comes to her husband – she’s completely oblivious there. What is surprising, though, is what Cory points out later when he catches up with an old friend to discuss art and gauge Stella’s feelings about him returning to UBN: When Celine asks Cory what he knows about Stella, Cory notes she actually *wants* to find out some damaging information about her own CEO. Celine clearly has bigger plans that we don’t know about yet. Cory doesn’t give up on Stella right away, but you can tell it’s inevitable.

A recent report from Variety shares that, in addition to Jason Statham, the upcoming film will feature an actor from the Marvel Cinematic Universe and a former WWE wrestler.
Zoe Saldaña, famous for her work in the Guardians of the Galaxy, The Avengers, and Mission: Impossible series, and Adam Copeland-a professional wrestler who has appeared in shows like Percy Jackson and the Olympians-will join Statham in the action-packed sequel.
