All I know is there's gotta be a lot of plane landing in one episode.

I mostly agree. I think we need to see Tom's landing spot as well, and probably some kind of hint towards his and Shiv's future with the baby (don't think they'll be together, but whether he's wanting to be involved or not). Getting some kind of completion of Greg's journey would be nice as well. I do think the vast majority of the time will be spent on the Board meeting and the deal. I don't think that there will be any time of big time jump forward, either.TCTTS said:Willy Wonka said:

I've seen this sentiment a few times now and I just don't get where it's coming from. This isn't really the type of show to wrap up every last storyline with a nice little bow, but I honestly only see there being one storyline left, which is who comes out on top in the deal, and that seams fairly easy to resolve in a 90-minute finale. To the point where I'm almost wondering what else they're going to fill the runtime with. Am I missing something? What else is left to show or do?
Should be a fairly significant battle. Hugo and Ken are going after Shiv, and she'll have to play the dead waiter card in response. Why else show the fixer?TCTTS said:Willy Wonka said:

These are the things that do not need to be rushed.TCTTS said:
Right. But none of that should have any issue whatsoever fitting into a 90-minute finale. Aka the length of an entire movie.

After watching for the second time, I am throwing out a theory that I really hope isn't true. Logan isn't dead. He faked his death and Tom is the only one that knows. It was a final test to see how everyone handles it. He steps back in for his review and lays down the hammer on all his children.

I jokingly told my wife this during the funeral. He is gonna bust out of nowhere and take back control.dallasiteinsa02 said:

And Connor is in on it and took a pic of Logan pretending to be dead and sent it to Roman?TCTTS said:dallasiteinsa02 said:

i have no doubt they can wrap up the "who comes out on top in the deal" story in a 90-minute run time.TCTTS said:Willy Wonka said:

or....they go the Dallas route and Logan never came out of his coma from episode 1 and this has all been in his headdallasiteinsa02 said:

to me, the more limiting factor is if that 90-minute finale is also just one day like the rest of the episodes this season. considering we don't even know if the Board is going to recommend or reject the GoJo deal, seems like there's too much left for one day.

I'm not sure it wouldn't have made an even bigger scene had they tried to stop him, but at the same time that felt like a situation where someone was openly disparaging their father at his own funeral and not one of them had the backbone to stand up and put a stop to it.
That would definitely be an interesting way for the finale to go. But at this point we know that Mencken won't kill the deal and Jimenez won't either, so I don't see why they'd spend more time on the election with much bigger plot lines to wrap up. Besides, if Mencken ends up losing, that ultimately looks bad for Ken and Roman and would lean even harder into the board voting against them.bonfarr said:
Are we sure Mencken is going to be the President?
I can see the finale having the lawsuits and recounts and absentee ballots changing the outcome of the election and Mencken brokering an agreement falls through.

I assume you haven't watched the trailer for the finale, but it definitely seems to take place over more than one day. Shiv, for one, is seen relaxing on the coast somewhere, as the sun is beginning to set, but is then shown in New York at some point (later?) in broad daylight. It basically looks as if the cast is somewhat scattered in various locations to begin the episode, then, perhaps the next day, everyone meets in New York for the big showdown.
Also, personally, I don't need to *see* everyone living their eventual fate, I just want to know what their fates will be, which can all be settled throughout, and at the end of, the haggling of the deal. In other words, if the finale ends the same day the deal is done, as long as we know where everyone is going to land, that's all I need. I don't need any kind of Mad Men / Six Feet Under-esque final wrap-up montage actually showing everyone in their final landing spots.
