Why does Bishop betray Alamo?
Bishop didn’t agree with a lot of what Alamo did, but it was a job for him. I think what Alamo did to Rue was the final straw for Bishop. He’s also having that conversation with Maddy in the car. Rue was a bridge too far, and he’s like, “I promise I’m not going to let you get to Maddy.”
That’s interesting because it doesn’t seem like Bishop cares that much about Rue, at least in the way he behaves toward her.
There are a million different ways to look at it, from a character standpoint. It plays like he doesn’t care, but if you look deep enough, there are moments of Bishop being like a big brother who is hard on her. You know those figures in your life who are like, “Don’t hang out with those people. Those are not good people. You shouldn’t be here.” The way Sam wrote it is up to interpretation. He gives it space for it to be seen however people want to see it.
I didn't get that at all from this season
