This. He doesn’t give a **** about anything other than his own self image. Season 3 made that pretty clear from the way he tried to leverage the cruise stuff.

“**** the patriarchy”and all that. It’s all a joke to him

These people have thoughts and preferences. None of them outweigh the necessities of capitalism

Great insight.

To those who think any of the siblings have become Logan; no chance. Logan mentioned before that "they are not serious people" and nothing has demonstrated that more than this season. They are undisciplined and the decision making, sheeeish. Tom4Pres.

So I never watched this show but powered through 3 seasons in 2 weeks. Super solid even if they are awful people. Should be caught up in 7 hours

Landed the plane very nicely. Great episode.

I assumed that each of the three kids would end unhappily, but Roman clearly came out of it with a somewhat optimistic ending. The other two were appropriately bleak as ****.

Nitpicking but I do didn't like the reveal that the kids weren't Kena blood. Altho as I think about it, it reads.

good ending

what exactly is the motivation to screw ken at the last minute?

basically some combo of 1. she thinks hes in way over his head and 2. if it isnt her it isnt anyone?....does it lean one more than the other? seemed about equal

also, I get bringing the murder up at some point but that seemed a bit out of place, she should've kept going with how he just isn't the one to take the throne, she doesnt want to put her future in him, he cant pull it off

didn't really understand the ken's kids thing, they aren't his because 1 was adopted and 1 rava had with someone else?



good call by everyone itt that said tom was gonna be wearing the stripes, seemed so obvious although the assist from shiv at the end was a bit of a curveball

3. she gets to keep her marriage, to the new CEO and father of her child. And now Tom is not in the weak position he was in before.

Logan said Ken's kids were fake i.e. not Logan's blood.

It's kinda weird how completely inconsequential the election episode apparently was.

Sophie is adopted and they joked that Iverson was the milkman’s kid.

Not Ken's blood therefore not Logan's blood.

the majority of the plotlines in this show were inconsequential, so it tracks


it's why i thought the end would be about more than who controls the company, but not so much

That was pretty great. The scene playing on the TV, and the 3 reactions was exceptional. Took me a bit to realize that Conner was there to see how Logan was when he wasn’t in “LOGAN” mode and that he would never be like that with the other 3.

Just waiting the last 45 minutes to see how it would end badly for Kendall was excruciating. I half expected them to have his body flying past the window while they were signing the deal.

Could definitely see that not being the last of the show fwiw

Armstrong gets some vanity projects out there, all these people get typecast, hbo max/max or whatever it is called now has subs down in 5 years and they throw some money at them, maybe another season or mini series with tom as CEO, ken just outta rehab, shiv and tom unhappily married

Her power went way down regardless. Her ability to toss Tom out of the Roy family at a whim no longer carries any weight. Symbolically, she had to wait for him to offer his hand in that final scene.
