Killing Eve completed

 Okay, gave up on Season Four and jumped to the last episode, which was a little better.  Eve and Villanelle become lovers of a sort after stealing camper from perfect hippie couple.  They join forces to kill "The Twelve," the shadowy nefarious group that started in Germany years earlier.  Carolyn (M16) is also after "The Twelve" as is Helene, only Helene has been killed.

The Twelve are meeting on a tourist boat that's hosting a wedding in the ballroom while they meet in another.  Eve presides at the wedding -- they mistake her for the cleric -- while Villanelle kills all twelve of the twelve in about one minute.  Clear demonstration that the twelve meant nothing--we have no real reason to care if they live or die.

Happy ending?  No.  Carolyn knows what's up.  She also knows that Villanelle is the murderer of her son.  So, after Villanelle wipes out the twelve, Carolyn has a sniper shoot Villanelle.  She dies in the Thames (both she and Eve fall off the boat.) Eve survives, as does Carolyn, the ultimate survivor.

All in all, weak.

Oppenheimer . . . film

The Master Chapter 2

February 1895 (Alice died in 1892) Money problems, jealousy of Wilde; time spent with Lord Wolseley1; off to Ireland to lick his wounds; Irish unrest--Irish landlords boycott all social events; much time spent with manservant Hammond (homosexual attraction again); fancy dress ball, appalling to James, who is only happy in company of Hammond, though Hammond remains a servant and no more; little girl alone on the grounds--inspiration for Turn of the Screw?; conflict with Webster who alludes to Wilde's successful play and HJ's failure; Wolseley was an  Anglo-Irish  officer in the  British Army . He became one of the most influential and admired British generals after a series of successes in Canada, West Africa, and Egypt, followed by a central role in modernizing the British Army in promoting efficiency. He served in Burma, the  Crimean War , the  Indian Mutiny , China, Canada and widely throughout Africa—including his  Ashanti  campaign (1873–1874) and the  Nile Exp
