Ok this succession episode sucks. It reminds me of those later house of cards seasons where they were pulling from headlines for episode ideas. Cool, it’s election 2020. Get this dick wolf d’jour bullshit out of here. Can’t wait for the liberal thinkpieces tomorrow that are gonna be like DID SUCCESSION JUST PREDICT THE 2024 ELECTION?

Succession was great. It's been ripped from the headlines literally from the beginning. It's Rupert Murdoch's family and Fox News. They had a stand in for Bernie Sanders. Come on dawg.
Also, whole ep gave me a fucking PTSD panic attack. Felt like it was happening again.

What the fuck was going on with the Sally side of that story? We're we supposed to know what was happening or who those people were?

I ping-ponged between it being completely real and a drunken fever dream but ultimately it wound up being a mixture of both. The figure in black must be the former B9er. Sally got him fired by lying about stealing/attacking her so I imagine he'd be pissed enough to come after her. Where it fucks with you is once she's locked in her room, you hear her ex going "what did you poke me in the eye?" and saying other shit. That's the audio from when she stabbed him in S3. So her trauma from that episode is rearing its head but now she's drunk and helpless because she refused to listen to Barry's instructions on how to put together the gun.

Succession was great. Shiv wen't through the ringer and both her and Kendall had some harsh truths hit them in the face. "Maybe the poison drips through..." basically summarizes the show and to see that moment of realization in Ken's face was excellent. I actually liked the election being the backdrop of the episode because it not only showed how far Roman, Ken and Shiv are willing to go to achieve their goal. It also showed how far removed they all are from the political realities that 99% of the population faces. It doesn't matter that the presumed president is a straight up fascist, as long as they block the Mattson deal, then it's golden. Willa feeling uneasy about Connor's deal with Menken, but then rationalizing it by saying she'll be able to go to Vienna for lunch basically summarizes how easy it is for the rich and well-off to turn a blind eye fascism.
And Tom accusing Shiv of lying when she told him he was pregnant might have been the coldest moment of the show. goddamn.

Shiv knew she was fucked. The Tom and shiv relationship spiral has been the best part of this final season. Watching the build up. Shiv going back to the well and trying to manipulate Tom with the whole apology, just so she can get her way. When Tom doesn’t reciprocate it back, she throws the pregnancy line as a lifeline. The irony of the one time she tells the truth, Tom doesn’t believe her. When he asks if she’s lying, you can tell it crushes her.

Yeah, I was wondering where her game would lead her and it's left her totally alone. Also, Greg becoming a giant sleaze ball is probably one of my favorite character arcs. Dude would sell his mom out for a candy bar.

Think the Bevel rammed his truck into her trailer but pretty much everything else was hallucinations in her drunken stupor. The scene where Sally is sitting in the wreckage paints that picture pretty vividly. It could be also playing into the fact that she only feels safe with Barry.

I’d watch a show about Tom and Greg navigating the corporate world. Amazing chemistry between those characters.

"You can't make a Tomlette without breaking a few Gregs" is one of the funniest lines ever written.

Been watching Curb Your Enthusiasm for the first time the last month or so. It's definitely becoming one of my favorite shows ever. So good, and only on Season 5 so plenty more to watch.

Goddammit Succession, just when I thought Tom was eviscerated and defeated we get one of the best Tom (and Gregg, lacroix and wasabi bahahaha) episodes to date. Also all the sib moments were phenomenal through and through. Roman is oscillating at a high ass frequency rn

Spent the last couple of months watching all 10 seasons of Vanderpump Rules and it's easily the peak of reality tv. Have any other posters watched this? Love the show. Felt a little stale for a bit, but the ongoing drama with Tom, Ariana, and Raquel has brought the excitement back for me.

Price for bravocon was a little exorbitant for me so we didn’t end up going when it was in nyc last time.
