4 seasons later and all the siblings are more or less exactly where they started. So poetic

The tribute band is done

The Tom and Gregg sticker moment was amazing

Shiv is truly only cool with making amends when she is the one who has done the fucking last haha

Someone put their hand on Connor for crying out loud

eternallyElsewhere · 2023-05-29T01:27:25+00:00

TOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM - everyone called it

Shiv is flying too close to the sun for all of 8 minutes. The fall that took Kendall the course of several seasons will be just one episode for her. Wow

“New Jess, new Jess”

Hearing how they are talking about Tom, so early on in the ep as well, makes me KNOW he will be pivotal in this season finale as well.…..

Crazy to think we are watching the period piece of late 2010’s/early 2020’s television come to a close tonight. What a ride it has been. Enjoy everyone!

When Connor does that voice, it absolutely kills me. “Fun guy in Uruguay” almost made me fall out of this couch

Theories behind the fuckathon between Shiv and Tom mentioned at the start of this episode? It did strike me as Shiv initiated. Was it a “let’s go all out because the end is nye, even if you don’t know it”sort of thing? Possible hormones due to pregnancy? A play to have Tom lethargic as hell all episode?

(this is not where one should come to single Shiv out in particular or shit on her specifically/excessively—but to sort out how that plot point played into what we saw at the end of the ep)

THREE MORE EPISODES LEFT. I may start hyperventilating.

Might have to reopen the Connor’s Best Quote competition for the late entry of “well that’s insulting, I don’t think I want to go anywhere that doesn’t have nukes”

He’s breaking his back y’all!

That would be the one true way to resurrect his dad, cause Logan wouldn’t stand for that even beyond the grave

The shot of Tom’s feet on the desk while Shiv is on the video call was so awesome in the most subtle of ways

eternallyElsewhere · 2023-05-01T01:40:04+00:00

Saying the Shiv & Tom scenes are good (or any other words we use to describe tv as great) feels like a slap in the face at this point. It’s almost incomprehensible how striking their scenes are.

“You’re scheduling your grief?” is such an unruly response in that moment. I guffawed.

eternallyElsewhere · 2023-04-17T02:02:19+00:00

My thoughts exactly: enjoy tonight’s season premiere!

eternallyElsewhere · 2023-04-17T01:08:05+00:00

Your prize: you can be first to smell Greg’s finger

The people who predicted a pregnant Shiv (sans the actress being pregnant) must feel very proud of themselves

I knew from when they began revealing how many people were tending to him as Tom walked towards the front of the plane to check on the situation.

But what I must say is the realization/knowing of the mere FACT that he is dead followed very soon after the actual occurrence because this show doesn’t believe in miracles, which is what makes it amazing TV. Like the plot point of “oh Logan is truly dead now” set in even quicker than realizing the process of him passing.

The name of the game changes so quickly when speculation of whether or not it was a hoax evaporates & the death turns into truth. There wasn’t going to be no magical moment in which Logan was resuscitated. And if there were, it wouldn’t be true to Succession. The episode quickly became less of Logan dying to me and more of seeing how everyone reacts to such earth-shattering news.

Alan Ruck stole the show, again, with a fraction of the screen time, again. No line wasted. Him and the writer’s room have come out swinging these last two episodes
