If it were not for Musk making the offer right before the tech correction, my expectation is that the price would have dropped more than 50% and Microsoft would have bought it for $15-20B (which would have been a premium of the stock price at the time) and merged it with Linkedin.

There are also a million ways that couple can have conflict without breaking up. I just have no idea what happened to the writers room in Season 3.

I think the six/six thing had a huge impact in her realizing that winning would not the be end, but instead the continuation of this exhausting drama until they either lost or had to fight again in six months for the rest of their lives. Kendall was never going to be competent enough to close the book on how the…

I don’t think she took the worst possible path for her, because she can still leave Tom and be done. If she had gone with Kendall it would have never ended. But I do agree that she did not think about the repercussions of her actions completely, and I think that last scene in the car goes to prove it.  The show did a…

It’s a fascinating world. I’ve operated occasionally at the level right below it at some well known tech companies (where you are leading a team with multiple sub-leads, but you still have a large personal impact), but that level where you are effectively managing only managers on completely separate projects (or even…

I honestly expected the stress of the whole situation to cause her to miscarry, but I’m glad they didn’t go that way with the story.

It seemed like a completely believable decision by her. The realization that she could vote one way and just end it (not really thinking about the long term Tom scenario), or vote the other and go through this same scene repeatedly for the next 40 years of her life. She realized that they weren’t winning, they were…

It was a great moment. Especially since it showed the kids that they yet again had no idea what actually went on at the leadership of the company.

It’s really a question of whether Tom has a heart attack before getting fired or during.  He’s obviously going to work himself to death in a matter of years.

I think she also saw the next 40 years of this ridiculous BS.  Yes, you might win today, but all you’ve done is buy yourself some time until the next disaster.  The idea of that seems pretty exhausting to me too.

It’s not so much that Ken lost Shiv, but that he temporarily gained her when she was backed into a corner for literally 24 hours after learning that Matteson was completely betraying her.

While I have zero complaints about this season, I think that this is why it was such a good idea to end the show now. For me, Season 3 was the one where it seemed like the show was treading water. Doing that for another year would have lost a lot of good will.

I am really up in the air about whether he really loved Shiv. Parts of this season almost made me wonder if the entire relationship wasn’t a ploy by him nearly from the beginning. The mention of the letters and how hard he went after her when she was a dumpy daughter of a billionaire. I think there is an argument that…

In a lot of ways everyone is in as good a personal hell as could be crafted. Tom’s going to work himself to death in years until Matteson fires him and Shiv leave him.

Tom was just fucking with him.  Greg is going to get a huge raise as Tom’s assistant.  He’ll still do 100% shit work and coffee fetching, but he’s not really going to have his pay cut.

Kendall was screwed up so many times over the course of the show, I’m not sure how much you were paying attention if you don’t understand he is completely incompetent.

Regarding Tom’s soft sell. If you want a puppet that will do exactly what you want, take all the heat, be so terrified he brings up anything that might be an issue, and be completely replaceable because he forms no lasting relationships with anyone (except whatever he has with Greg), his soft sell was (unknown to…

I’ve said it before, but one of the things I wish they would have more firmly established is that Shiv was a terrible political consultant before everything went down. I think that is the idea, but there is some ambiguity that just maybe Shiv is actually competent. And I think the story is better if it is firmly…

The whole Keeley storyline is a complete miss this season. Season three episode 12 should have ended with Keeley walking into the newly founded KJPR. Would have facilitated much interaction with her and Rebecca and not wasted a bunch of time on this new random half-cast we don’t care about it.  I’m just shocked at how…

Oh, I’m certainly not denying there are a lot of LotR game ideas that would work fine (Hell, I’ve worked on three of them!) I’m just saying that there have been plenty of successful stealthy games, there hasn’t been a LotR stealth game yet, and that paying for IP rights is generally a good business decision in the…
