When Tom yelled, “I asked you to marry me because I LOVED you!” I finally understood the full extent of the damage Shiv’s parents caused. She can’t comprehend that anyone would genuinely love her.

“Being able to run people over isn’t a selling point” was great, given that I feel every 10 year old boy hears about diplomatic plates and has a conversation with friends about how cool it would be to be able to drive on the sidewalk.

Nah, he says it’s the money he loves, but like all of them, what he really loves is the power that money creates.

Willa had some real bangers this episode. “Will we be able to live above ground?” The entire Connor sub-plot was hilarious starting with the opening offer being Ambassador to Somalia and ramping up from there.

Having had similar fights with girlfriends the night before, like, the biggest day at work the next day, I can promise: Tom isn’t sleeping tonight either.

“There’s one person here who doesn’t think I’m a joke.”

The “everything I do is for my kids” line Kendall feeds Rava is cribbed straight from what Logan says during the family therapy session in Austerlitz. Kendall knew it was bullshit coming from his father, yet he still wants Rava to buy it coming from him.

We have all watched episode after episode of the Roy family take their turns at being monsters, but I can’t recall one where the big four (Kendall, Shiv, Roman and Tom) in equal measure displayed their toxic cores. It was like a collision of several court plays by Shakespeare (King Lear died with Logan) with

This was one of the best episodes of the series.

Agree. But the show is fucking awesome. 

Greg is and always has been a remora with a great sense of which shark he should attach himself to.

the death of Cristobal’s men and his and hank’s relationsip was so brutal and affecting. the cute bear henchman with the face tattoo who was showing Cristobal a photo on his phone, was my fave.

Between the death of Cristobal, the eager sand crew, and Gene shooting his own son, this episode was just crushing. I have all the admiration in the world for Mr. Irby, who did such an excellent job in his role. Not only was the relationship between Hank and Cristobal one of the most delightful parts of the show

She attempts to lead Kristen through sense memory exercises, hoping to trigger some of those sacrificial moments Kristen can’t access, despite having dated a guy who was 5’3", which is really short.

If I cringed any harder at Sally trying to nab that role from her, I might have become a fossil.

This ep was particularly good about showing how miserable it is to be a minion to such psychos. Constantly being pushed to acquiesce to their bullshit that you know you will take the blame for when it all comes crashing down and if you don’t, you get fired.  

The obvious pop culture comparison to this episode is Jaws. Every scene had the dread of “Barry shows up and kills the people in this scene.” I thought he even wouldn’t have showed up at Sally’s but instead the end of the episode we’d see him drive to that desert place to find his family (I think last episode

t seems like every third episode is them needing to get some investor to go along with the scheme of the day to escape the crisis set up in the previous episode. sometimes it’s Stewie, sometimes it’s their mom, once it was Adrian Brodie...

I agree. Ronny was lethal and had an almost Rasputin-like ability to withstand injury, but his daughter was a demon!
