Isn’t Connor really the only Roy who actually consistently cares about the family? He basically had to be the dad as a kid to his siblings (took them camping). And he’s too inept to be particularly cruel or evil.

Yeah, I don’t think Shiv is in danger, I just think she seems to believe that she has leverage with Geri and I don’t think she has as much as she thinks.

I don’t know. Geri can easily saying, “Goodness me! I never took Roman seriously! He’s young enough to be my son! Clearly this disturbed young man needs help.”

I think people know it was a cruel joke. Using your grandson to make cruel jokes is … cruel. 

You really couldn’t see why Logan-the-sexist would be happy for Roman to have a pretty young girlfriend but would despise him for lusting after an older woman?

I wonder if Shiv is as strong against Geri as she seems to think. Geri has two possible routes to take that keep her nose clean:

Yeah. Honestly, I think Geri was asking him to stop less because she had a huge issue with it and more because she could tell that his behavior was escalating and he was becoming reckless and careless. 

Which of the Roys have a soul at all? They are all repulsive with “scruples” entirely linked to personal convenience. Connor is the only one who is even vaguely human, ironically because he’s too incompetent to even want to be evil.

What are you talking about? The ending wasn’t known in HP’s case. She was writing the books while the movies were being made.

I wasn’t surprised at all. Logan is a sexist, homophobe. His son deviating at all from the toxic masculine ideal, even by accident (sending his father/a man a dick pic, intending to send it to an older woman) would disgust him.

Seems like a distinction without a difference to me. Presumably, if they had been tv shows, they’d have satisfied their audiences just as much as their film versions did.

Possibly. Though, I suspect a far more likely outcome would be a confession via suicide note that they then have to work to cover up.

How have they been framing Roman as “less” of an asshole? Roman was instrumental in backing the Nazi candidate over Shiv’s vociferous objections two episodes ago. This doesn’t seem like a show where anyone will get much success by being less of an asshole. 

I didn’t say the distinction “didn’t matter”. I pretty clearly said that Kendall’s main virtue was being unable to be as evil as his father. But no, I’m don’t really give them credit for vaguely wanting to make WR “better” but just so long as it doesn’t cost them anything in the slightest. That’s like believing a…

I have a far dimmer view of Kendall. He tried to be as evil as his father but could only really achieve being the best flunky. So he tried to chase the high of being exceptional by being good, but wasn’t any good at that either, partially because he could not fully commit to it.

Yeah, sadly nearly all of Kendall’s virtues are related to his inability to be as evil as he secretly wishes he could be. He was bad at being evil, bad at being good, even bad at being a hedonist.

If he opened his most recent texts rather than his contacts, and his Dad was his most recent text after Geri, it wouldn’t be hard to make that mistake.

Dogs running a tens of thousands of years’ long-con on the human race?  I love it!

For me was their mother’s comment that she wouldn’t have dogs because she knew Logan would abuse them, but she, of course, left her children with him…

There was something fascinating in watching two horrible people argue over whether one of them is a horrible person.
