Exactly. And he wanted to do it on his turf.

The word also showed up in the second episode of “Succession” this season. Ewan used it to describe Kendall. 

Sure. The show is superb, and also like watching a train wreck in slow motion. You can’t look away. Although I enjoy watching for sure, on a certain level I also find the behavior of all of these people morally repugnant to one degree or another.

They are all terrible. And in the way of siblings, they all know how to cut to the bone and hit where it hurts. I still think Kendall’s statement is also misogynistic and revealing.

Sure, their upbringing had a hand in warping their humanity. They are still terrible people (exhibit A: the scene very early in the series where Roman dangles a million bucks in front of a working-class kid if he can hit a home-run). And it’s not like other folks who have had traumatic childhoods haven’t gone on to

I’m pretty sure Marcia is still there. Probably just went home in a separate car. The scene where she got up and left the negotiating table showed that she was confident she would get what she wanted, and indeed that seemed to be the case as she was standing with Logan while her lawyer negotiated with Logan’s underling

They may be human, and I do have sympathy for the abuse that Logan has no doubt put his children through over the years, but they are all terrible, rotten people. Even Ewan has an agenda.

I do too. I get the feeling that last season’s car accident was just a prelude.

After watching this (superb) episode, I realized that every single person on this show is rotten to the core - even Ewan, who seems willing to throw his own grandkid to the wolves to fulfill his agenda of taking his brother down and exposing capitalism. It is all extremely distasteful, but it’s so good that I can’t

I meant this to be a response to the post about “Pine Barrens”.

You could also make a case for including “College” (Season 1, Episode 5) on the list. I think it’s the first time we see Tony straight up whack a guy with his own hands, while on a trip with his daughter to visit colleges. A great example of the tension between his family life and his other “family” life. Brilliant

One of the best episodes of the entire series. Definitely top five.

I know. Such a fun movie.

Tony and Christopher actually aren’t related. Carmela and Christopher are distant cousins. However, to understand why Tony refers to Christopher as his nephew, you have to have some familiarity with Italian (particularly Sicilian) and Greek culture. We often call close friends of our parents “aunt” or “uncle”, despite

I absolutely love that movie.

This, exactly. I always hoped the two of them would realize that Jordan Catalano meant nothing in the grand scheme of things, and that they would patch things up. Unfortunately, we never got to see it. What a great show, though, and so true to what it was like to be a teenager in the 90s.

I’m of Greek background. As children, we often referred to close friends of our parents (who were sometimes but not necessarily distantly related to us) “Theio” or “Theia” (Uncle/Aunt). I imagine Italians, particularly those from southern Italy, are similar to Greeks in that way.

Yeah, although I somewhat enjoyed the movie (especially the first 10 minutes), I was kind of disappointed at the same time as I thought it could have been much better. I had a number of issues with it, namely:

Yes, she is called Queen, but there is a distinction between a queen who reigns because her husband is king (i.e., a queen consort) and a queen like Elizabeth who reigns because she inherited the crown from the previous monarch (a queen regnant). To use a modern-day contrast, when William ascends the throne, Kate will

You are looking at things from an American perspective. In the UK, upper class doesn’t necessarily equate to being rich. It has more to do with your bloodlines than anything else. You could be an aristocrat with a crumbling pile of stones, wearing moth-eaten sweaters, and driving a 50-year old Land Rover, and still be
