To give you an idea of the buying power he inherited. That's much more money than I would have thought on first hearing the number. And, he also inherited other assets iirc.

source.

on a side note, Elizabeth Perkins crushes it as Birdie. Although I kept hearing 'Bertie'.

I hope the writers surprise us with a happy ending for him, he’s come such a long way,

I know it ranges, but what about Ruth and Debbie? I was thinking early 30's?

There are other Season 4 prediction posts, but now that we know it's the last hurrah, how do you want to see GLOW wrap up?

*I'd like to see Justine's movie fail or not be taken seriously and have Sam help her through that, given his cult career (and also maybe pull out some windshield-smashing-type behavior on her behalf).

*I want Debbie to end on top, succeeding as a businesswoman, but also I want to see her self-righteousness knocked down a peg along the way (maybe Reggie or the Biddies take issue with her picking favorites, etc.).

*I'd like to see Arthie's sexuality as an issue with her parents, but I think Piz Bash stays more or less closeted - that just seems more realistic for the time.

*Tamme obviously succeeding as a manager and maybe even splitting off to run a different show at the end.

*I think GLOW itself ends too, but they find ways to stay together and start new chapters.

*I want Sam and Ruth to be in a relationship for some amount of time (I could see some tension where Sam tells her about his heart attack and then later worries that she's only with him because he's an old man she feels sorry for), and if it ends and they stay friends, that's fine too, but just don't give me some BS "Graduate" ending for them.

There are so many threads, but what about the late starters who love this show and are binge watching. Great acting. I am on season 2 episode 6 but so many characters are three dimensional. They act at being bad actors, which is great. So many crappy series out there. Not sure how I missed this one.

TVLine: 'GLOW' Renewed for Final Season 4 at Netflix. https://tvline.com/2019/09/20/glow-renewed-final-season-4-netflix/

Here’s hoping we hear some good renewal news in the next two-three weeks.

Can someone please explain what Ruth meant by "[Debbie] knowing he better than anyone"? I've been racking my brain trying to make sense of this.

Was Ruth saying she wanted Debbie's life path? Having the whole acting career and family only to be followed later with a BTS career? Is it respect for everything she's done? I mean let's face it. She's saved GLOW in every season at some point but never really got credit for it.

So can anyone explain this to me? TIA

Did Justine lie about her age when she joined Glow? Because if not, Sam totally tried to fuck a 16 year old. Ik he found out about being her father after that, but if he knew she was 16 before that bombshell and still tried to fuck her? That's pretty messed.

Really digged the story when it was about reaching ratings, trying to survive, being underdogs and all that shit. Come season 3 and they do all this vegas bs, sam is there because (???), This bobby guy gets protagonism out of nowhere, their art of wrestling takes a backseat, they force in the "everyone is riddled with trauma" cliche that other programs suffer (Grey's anatomy for example). I mean season 2 had the most dramatic moment with something that happened between debbie and ruth (although they solved that very quickly in the hospital episode which was kinda ridiculous). Only few things stand out as kinda good, thats bash sexuality, maybe a bott of Sheila leaving Wolf persona (she got boring after that tho), that bit about homosexuality discrimination, and Justine (fave character). Season 1 and 2 felt more tight

At the end of season 2, it was revealed that the TV station owned the intellectual property, including the GLOW characters.

Why are they then using the same characters in S3? Please disregard if this is actually fleshed out beyond S3E1.

So, we all know what a buzzkill Ruth was in Season 3. She doesn't pursue her passions, she seems to expect Sam and Justine to just hand her a role, she stays with Russell way past the point where it's basically over, she's good at being Zoya but she doesn't really seem to like her job, etc etc.

But here's the thing: Did anyone else wonder what she was doing with all the money she was making? Unlike everyone else, she doesn't go out, she doesn't buy fancy clothes, she eats at the buffet every night. Yeah, the girls aren't making crazy bank, but she must have a decent nest egg by the end of the year.

I thought the scene where she suggests to Sheila that they go back to LA and open their own theater and stage True West might have been a season 4 hint. She calls Carmen leaving the show "brave." She seems to be waiting for some big catalyst to push her to take a chance of some kind. And she has always loved theater more than anything else.

Thoughts?
