Also, what is with the Kerry audition? That has to be a trial balloon from Logan to see who at ATN are yes men and who are not, right?

Well, we have to end apartheid for one. And slow down the nuclear arms race, stop terrorism and world hunger. We have to provide food and shelter for the homeless, and oppose racial discrimination and promote civil rights, while also promoting equal rights for women. We have to encourage a return to traditional moral values. Most importantly, we have to promote general social concern and less materialism in young people.

I think this episode is the one time that Connor hasn't been just a device for outlandish comedy. I got major Cameron vibes going back to Ferris Bueller, that speech about not needing love seemed like a Cameron line to me, but it's apt in this scene. Connor is separate from the rest of the family, he needs Willa to love him, I thought that last scene was sweet between the two of them, just getting into bed to hold her, that was good. Though Connor is the first born he gets treated like the middle child, he has to do the most insane things to get attention from anyone, it's pretty tragic.TCTTS said:"The good thing about having a family that doesn’t love you is you learn to live without it."

Alan Ruck just delivered one of the most tragic lines in #Succession's history. What a punch to the gut. pic.twitter.com/9aPqyNQOvRThe way Connor's wedding stuff escalates from a funny but sad subplot into one of the major truth-telling moments of the series is an example of why SUCCESSION is the best-written show on TV. I've rarely seen a show know how to use comedy as a devious set-up for devastating drama

agreed. Almost feels to be by design.Quote:
I'm getting pretty bored with Kendall in all honesty, I get almost annoyed when he shows up, his schtick has run it's course. I'm almost there with Shiv as well. Roman is really the only one of them that is compelling at this point. Culkin is really going to the next level IMO. He looks stressed, being pulled in two different directions, could go either way.

Great Ep2! Many good lines but has Shiv's ass gotten bigger since season 3?
The irony is that asking for more money isn't their idea either. I think he wants them to try to go back to the table to see what Madsen does. If he goes for it, he gets more money. Felt like a classic reverse psychology thing, saying don't do this to a room full of children who can't control themselves. If Madsen doesn't and it threatens the sale it gives Logan the opportunity to come in, and clean it up, he has the chance to win either way. If the sale is put into limbo the kids' deal for Pierce gets shelved. Logan would have the opportunity to sweep in, get Pierce to take the sure thing from him who has the ability to get it done regardless of the other deal.Quinn said:
Logan wants the deal to happen, but he can't help but be happy when the kids make a savvy business move. Same as his smirk when Kendall took the docs to the press conference at the end of S2. Yeah, it hurts him, but he loves to see them do something shrewd.

I was under the impression that both Logan and the kids needed the proceeds from the GoJo sale to purchase Pierce.
I don't think Logan needs the sale to purchase Pierce. The kids definitely do, however.Diggity said:

This is part of what I love about the show. Because I believe this could be possible, but also it could just be Kendall getting his pride back and is tired of people treating him like a peon.TriAg2010 said:Brian Earl Spilner said:The Milkman said:
I just don't get why Kendall would blow the deal and cost himself billions of dollars. There's got to be more than just to spite his dad
I read it more as wanting to spite Mattson as well. And maybe he wants to call his bluff.
I saw it as Kendall detecting weakness in Mattson's position, which is why he immediately asked Stewie for the valuation comps.
Before we celebrate Logan too much, the kids are also all so completely ****ed up because of who Logan was as a father.MaroonStain said:
Logan has provided a life for the four buffoons that very very small few in history have experienced. He wants them to stand up on their own two feet and makes their own moves to prosper. Yet, they are so spoiled, entitled and damaged that they are FING disappointments.
As said above, he was proud when Kendall made his play and was trying to make a statement in the karaoke room but they only saw their own misery and obstacles. It is hilarious and enjoyable to see these four disintegrate on the inside over four seasons.

Roman watching the rocket explode on his phone is to this day the one of the funniest things I've ever seen on TV.Tailgate88 said:Prosperdick said:I don't know, I find myself rooting for Greg and Roman...and Tom, but not as much.WES2006AG said:

Roman is my favorite character in a TV series maybe all time. Dude is freaking hilarious and tragic and lovable and unpredictable all wrapped up into one.

Or a little of both

Exactly. It's all a sordid mix of business interest and personal vendetta. Kendall may see it as a legitimate opportunity to get a higher sale price, but it's a conversation they're only having because Shiv got pissed at Logan for helping Tom lock-up all the top divorce attorneys. She called Sandie right after learning her choices were unavailable.
