I actually think the better argument is this is TOO repetitive, that we have seen all this before with Kendall, including, for example, the birthday party episode. Shiv even points this out, that Kendall cracks under pressure and falls back on hare-brained schemes, and so she tries to get Roman to stop Kendall. But no…

I don’t know, Greg is incredibly ham-handed, but he also seems to be relatively savvy at reading the room and understanding who he should trying to suck up to now that Logan is gone.  We’ll see, but I still suspect Greg is going to end up making some sort of move that will truly f’ one or all of the kids, including…

I think the whole point was Living+ was just a minor project that Logan couldn’t give two craps about, and then neither did Kendall—initially.

There are undoubtedly original recordings all over the place (it is basically impossible to erase digital copies of things these days). Greg could eliminate any doubt about how and why it was changed, but likely a forensic expert could also show what happened and prove it could not be accidental. If Greg is…

You are a better person than me. Even though on one level I understand how their f’ed up upbringing made them f’ed up people, I still feel a very satisfying schadenfreude watching these entitled amoral a-holes sow the seeds of their own destruction.

That was 100% securities fraud they just committed, at least with the deep-faking of Logan’s statement on expected earnings. Without going into a whole long legal brief, they quite clearly established the first three elements of a securities fraud case: a material misrepresentation, knowledge of falsity, and a causal…

It was a bit more serious/grim in tone up until the attempted assassination/escape at the end of Episode 3. Starting with that scene it has been zanier again.

My overwhelming feeling after this episode is that everything we see is about to come crashing down. Waystar, ATN, GoJo, Pierce . . . . I thought the truist-sounding thing Lukas said was that Waystar was just a “parts shop” at this point, but I suspect that insight applies across the board. And the only “winners” will…

Yeah, the kids are flailing around looking for respectable accomplishments. They don’t want to end up like Connor, rich people with nothing but vanity projects that are a joke to everyone else, but of course that is their destiny.

Yeah, Shiv getting close with Matsson is not exactly a secure power base. He could have just been using her temporarily to begin with, and then he is also not necessarily in a secure position himself.

The episode before this one it was established the kids now need Stewie’s board vote.  And he only agreed to get them interim power to get the deal done.  They then seemed to be ignoring that in this episode, but I suspect it isn’t over.

I loved how the scouting report they apparently gave everyone on Tom was “Tom of, uh, Siobhan.”

34 episodes so far, and only ONE car crash . . . .

Quick shout out to Eili Harboe’s performance as Ebba (recipient of blood bricks). Not a lot of screen time but it was intriguingly ambiguous, and then we got the backstory (if it wasn’t all BS) and it particularly clicked.

Yeah, the kids not understanding it was always their Dad actually keeping them around despite being f’ups, and then learning the hard way they will be out as soon as they f’up again, seems perfectly consistent with what we know of them.

Yeah, I have found it pretty gripping.

Absolutely.  They are all sociopaths in their own ways.

Not saying this is a defense for adults, but Shiv scuffed his pretty white shoes first. So I thought the whole thing was intentionally supposed to play like two kids engaging in playground-style petty verbal and physical abuse. And it did seem like maybe they were both feeling something for each other, at least in the…

My two cents is the prior episode established the kids needed the board support of Stewie/outside investors to win a vote on being interim CEOs, and Stewie made it very, very clear that support was conditional on the kids delivering the deal.

Yeah, nothing stealth/secret about her.
