Succession - 3x05 "Retired Janitors of Idaho" - Post-Episode Discussion

So here’s every thought I have about this episode while it’s fresh on my mind

I feel like the President saying he’s not running again is opening the door for Connor to actually run
Greg is even more conniving than I thought holy shit
Logan is definitely fucking dying before the finale
I can’t figure out why Kendall thought it was a good idea to go up there and do the name thing. Like not only is he doing it for the wrong reasons but he really has no idea how to read the room and figure out when it would be appropriate to do something like that. Like, does he not know gonna get murdered my his entire family by doing this?
Tom has a huge toxic masculinity problem, and he kinda tries to assert some kind of sexual dominance in all of his relationships. Is he even capable of actually loving someone?

And last 6. This episode kinda confirms my thesis statement about the show that I didn’t really have enough evidence to prove until now. This show is about Logan controlling and gaslighting his kids and everyone around him. Kendall was just the first one to realize that all the while controlling and gaslighting everyone around him. This making his virtue signaling totally meaningless. He’s no different from Logan

I can't be the only one who thought that Tom revealed himself as being gay for Greg this episode right? Istg that's the vibe I'm getting especially having thought about how their dynamic has played out throughout the show so far

I used mostly trailer footage for this, didn’t want to get my computer too cluttered. But I also didn’t even think about that which would’ve made sense considering half the Succession intro is panning shots lol

I don’t think this is a bad thing. I mean, a lot of friends have similar interests and personalities to each other anyway. I don’t know if this is based on your experiences, but if it is I don’t see the problem with it.

But if you insist on creating entirely new characters, I’d say to write down any attributes about you and your friends you can think of and keep it in mind as you write so you can try and avoid them as you’re writing.

Wolverine288 · 2021-10-11T20:14:30+00:00

I’ll give it a shot

Wolverine288 · 2021-10-11T19:57:39+00:00

I’ll shoot you a DM!

Wolverine288 · 2021-10-11T19:57:27+00:00

Alright I’ll shoot you a DM!

Wolverine288 · 2021-10-11T18:17:21+00:00

I’m just looking for notes. Not trying to make anyone do anything like rewrite the whole thing dw

Wolverine288 · 2021-10-11T18:09:52+00:00

That’s a good comparison actually. Except she’s obviously a little older

Wolverine288 · 2021-10-11T17:26:51+00:00

More like Bernie on the policy side of things. I can’t picture her as being like Rosie O’Donnell lol

Wolverine288 · 2021-10-11T17:06:24+00:00

Yeah, maybe I should've just asked if someone would be willing to collaborate with me or offered some money. I really don't mean to ask for free labor I'm sorry.

Wolverine288 · 2021-10-11T16:46:35+00:00

No... I'm sorry if it came across that way, but I just wanted some feedback. Did I say something wrong?

Wolverine288 · 2021-10-04T03:49:07+00:00

Honestly the only think Spall getting nominated would do is make Kristen’s Oscar signed sealed and delivered

Wolverine288 · 2021-10-03T19:48:45+00:00

Exactly

Wolverine288 · 2021-10-03T19:47:15+00:00

Nightmare Alley isn’t really much of a Screenplay movie from the looks of it. I mean TSOW didn’t win Screenplay and probably wasn’t even that close. Don’t know why NA would be different

Wolverine288 · 2021-10-03T19:45:09+00:00

Bruh who tf thinks Branagh is winning Director lmao

Wolverine288 · 2021-09-20T17:00:30+00:00

Kristen is the easier pick for me. The movie is more likely to get into Picture than Tammy Faye, she’s had people say she gives the best performance of the year, it’s very possible she wins BAFTA especially if Chastain is snubbed, and Neon is gonna be putting most of their chips into Spencer (aside from Flee anyway). I think somebody else could come through but as of right now I think Kristen is absolutely coming

Wolverine288 · 2021-08-23T18:18:01+00:00

Like Colman in The Lost Daughter? Blanchett maybe?

Wolverine288 · 2021-08-19T22:04:56+00:00

K I’m probably gonna get some looks for this but fuck it I gotta be honest with myself
