Most people are at their best when they are being their true selves...whether that "best" is any good to anyone else is a wholly different consideration, but in Wags's case he had friends, allies, and a boss who let him be who he was, 100%, because he was great at it.
He would've pulled all the oxygen out of the room. I love watching him (the sushi scene is one of my favorites in all television), but he wasn't a "plot forwarding" character. His best was in reacting to situations, not creating them. It would've gotten exhausting creating scenes just to keep giving Wags the good stuff.
Wags is definitely the Saul Goodman of Billions. If us fans showed enough interest Forsure we can get his spin off going. Besides Walter White, Axe is the only other character I know that is loved being the bad guy.
No. No. No. (etc.) Wag is a good ensemble character, as part of the Billions world. He's part of a team and shines as such. Making him the protagonist of a show will prove there's not enough in the character. The show will not be up-to-scratch, leaving a bad memory of Wagstaff. This has happened before, in other shows, so it's neither theory nor opinion. Let it lie.
that section of "code" on the screen looked like an RSA private key which is randomly created by a RNG (random number generator). It is not something a hacker writes himself and potentially uses a personally identifiable bit of info
You can use them when connecting to other computers, or to prove that you are the person behind a message. Lets say we have a server that we use for attacks, and to connect to it, you use SHH (this is common). If someone from the outside sees the server, then there is no guarantee that they will be able to find out who connected to that server, but if they get the private key, then it is pretty easy to figure out who connected to it. I do not think that part is far fetched.
I like the part where he says out loud "What? You hijacked my presentation!" because the writers presume I need things spelled out because am a fucking retard.
It is interesting to read the comments of fans that stuck around since the early days. It was very clear who the bad guys were and now they are all just bad guys and fans cheering them on like heroes. It's fictional so no big deal. Just have a gut feeling some of those commenters would be cheering on the same people in real life until it was them getting eff'd over.
They all act so smugly, but the fact that they went to THAT much effort to essentially steal his product, meant that it was a very good product. Plus, by leaving nominal control of it in his hands, it leaves the door open for him to recoup control one day, when he eventually realizes how much his creation was truly valued.
Moral of the story. If you are going to do something that might be embarrassing, or illegal, NEVER do it such that it can be traced back to you. Always delete your search browsers regularly. As wags said, computer programs can identify whom created it just like a fingerprint is to your hand. If you are going to hack a system, develop an alternate style of programming as to not leave your mark on the program. Government agencies hire people whom look for things like this.
@@timmy-oranguta No. But the more times you do it over and over, the less likelihood that anyone will find anything useful from it. Also, use disk clean as well as an optimizer to mess things up with regard to a search browser's history.
I mean after all they mentioned here... did none of them think that maybe Winston could and would just hack into every private detail about them and Axe Capital to screw them or blackmail them back?
LMAO exactly. As if a "coding signature", whatever the heck that even means, wasn't silly enough. This is CSI: Miami levels of "the writers clearly have no idea what computers are, let alone how they even work".
wags is the man always thought so, but he was like the most evil sidekick for bobby. the sureness of them eating sushi off naked women to making bank and just being out there with their thing is what every man wants wags rules but he needs his boy to add that cherry on top.
Cool scene that just becomes dumber and dumber the more seconds you invest thinking about it - which is clearly what the authors of the show don't want you to do. Threatening a man who can literally handcode himself (code signature, hahaha) into government agencies and fcking Nato servers with a powerpoint presentation out of childhold photos - really? That's like trying to blackmail a digital God. Wtf.
Wow, this scene is....really dumb. This show barely got traditional investment banking right, software and hacking are clearly nowhere close to the writers wheelhouse.
This was such a good show in the beginning.. Axe vs chuck.. Then it went to shit when they embraced all the DEI and no binary nonsense. I didn't even bother watching the last season.
@@c.s.1934 the stupid kid, the token diversity guy, who is running things alongside Taylor, yet he has zero experience lol. His robot voice and lines are total cringe. I like how they are insinuating Mike is like Trump, and he must be stopped at all cost, but he hasn't done anything to suggest he's a flawed character. Just awful, what a pile of garbage and a hot mess. Dollar Bill and Maphee are the characters we liked, not these clowns. Anyhoo, back to succession and enough of Billions
@@dfc2851 1-3 are solid, it falls off pretty hard after that. Wendy/Chuck thing wears thin pretty fast, Taylor is practically a superhero after that point.
I stopped watching Billions halfway through season 2 because I couldn't stand the character that we find in Taylor. This is definitely wokism being spoon-fed to the audience. This Taylor character has definitely ruined what should have been a Class A production. The Woke Brigade peddles gender-denial, which is actually science denial, for gender and gender identity is rooted in biology, including neuroscience. There are only two sexes and two genders, and the bas*ardisat*on of proper pronouns. I started to cringe everytime Taylor appeared on my screen and I had to keep the remote close by so I could fast-forward past this character. I just decided enough was enough, so I stopped watching. Shame, because. If you delete the woke nonsense, it would have been a really good series.
Mrs Lucy Mary Liam unique strength lies in her realistic approach which makes her different from other brokers that often set unattainable targets and fall short in delivery.
She approaches trading in a completely unique way. I'm so puzzled by her methods. She just seems to have an innate understanding of this trading world.
I love the energy with the "F------- illegal in all others" bit
The delivery had me rolling, he's clearly having so much fun its insane 😂😂😂
so killed it, I bet they had to do that line so many times from people laughing
Delivered with glee.
This one part has sold me on the series!
Wags is flawed so deeply, he knows it, embraces it, and if that isn't enough, thrives on it.
Most people are at their best when they are being their true selves...whether that "best" is any good to anyone else is a wholly different consideration, but in Wags's case he had friends, allies, and a boss who let him be who he was, 100%, because he was great at it.
They should've continued to write Wags like this every season
He would've pulled all the oxygen out of the room. I love watching him (the sushi scene is one of my favorites in all television), but he wasn't a "plot forwarding" character. His best was in reacting to situations, not creating them. It would've gotten exhausting creating scenes just to keep giving Wags the good stuff.

Wags & Ari Gold......Legendary
I like the part where he says out loud "What? You hijacked my presentation!" because the writers presume I need things spelled out because am a fucking retard.
It actually works to underline his powerlessness by having him state something utterly obvious.
I love that he used Canva for that hahaha
Billions, becoming more cartoonlike with every season.

Remember when this show was good? All downhill after Prince.
Absolutely!!! Next to Axe… Wags is da MAN!
Both are pricks. The world would be much better place without people like Wags and much, much, much better place without people like Bobby.
Well, looks like Gale grew some hair on his peaches!
