^ yes, I think Greg is going to get his revenge on this clan one way or another...

I dunno, this may be fiction but it’s not fantasy.

The story is excruciating, but also similar to a car wreck where you can't look away.

In a nutshell....

I think the start of a different more confident Greg could be his success in asking out Comfry (Kendall’s PR consultant).

I suspect Comfry said yes because Greg said Kendall wouldn't let him ask her out. She hasn't shown much interest or kindness as of yet.

I’ve been disappointed more new characters haven’t been fleshed out or used more…Kendall’s lawyer, the leftie lawyer, adrien brody’s character. I hope the GoJo guy sticks around.

Oh my. That was quite an episode...

[Billy Dat]

Oh my. That was quite an episode...

Absolutely brutal.

"I should have had dogs"

"I may not love you but I do love you"

SPOILER ALERT

Do we think Kendall is dead? I don't think so, but he could be. That was an amazing final shot.

What a swing in Roy children power rankings this week! Connor remains on the bottom, but loses even more votes when Willa doesn’t want to marry him. Kendall falls from second to third when he admits defeat and Logan, loving the blood in the water, eviscerates him and won’t let him have even a shred of dignity in defeat. But the biggest movers were Roman and Shiv. Roman has been in the top spot for several weeks, making deals, capturing his dad’s attention, and pushing Shiv out of the “inner circle”. But one stupid text has destroyed all Logan’s respect for him, instantly wiping out all he had built. And then Shiv, somehow rejuvenated from the chat with mom, is back to being a killer, trying to throw as much dirt onto Roman’s grave as possible, and emasculating Tom once again for fun. Welcome back to being #1 boy Pinkie!

Honorable mention to Greg for the irrational confidence boost from a date with Kendall’s PR person, compelling him to hit on a duchess or baroness or whatever. Would you look at the time? Strong stuff there.

Pros to kill him off:

It ends the rise and fall Kendall v Logan narrative loop.

Cons: Kendall is a main and popular character. Where would the show go next?

Is next week the last show of the season?

Yes.

Roman’s pandora box is full of d***s, apparently! 😂

Some wonderful dialogue and the phone scene was just hysterical.

I don’t think Roman’s dead. He’s just extremely depressed and purposeless, bobbing in the waves like his beer bottle.

There really has got to be some movement in the amount of poo Tom takes. I’m getting a little tired in the Tom Shiv dynamic. Pretty repetitive at this point.

[budwom]

^ yes, I was just going to post that Tom may want to reconsider his position in all this. He hardly seems to be a priority for anyone, and Shiv is just brutal to him. Not just unkind, but perpetually cruel.

Edit - I don't think Kendall's dead.

I wish they had accompanied the Kendall scene with Don Ho singing Tiny Bubbles..."makes me happy, all the time."

I wish they had accompanied the Kendall scene with Don Ho singing Tiny Bubbles..."makes me happy, all the time."

I wish the scene would have ended with two people walking by Kendall in the pool:

Person 1: Don't worry about him. He doesn't care about anything. He's a Nihilist.
Person 2: Ah, that must be exhausting.

(And scene).

Edit - I don't think Kendall's dead.

Probably neither one.

Roman's stock kind of took a dive with Dad, though...

Everyone took it on the chin this episode.

Roman flew too close to the sun, which we all saw coming, if not the particulars. Shiv got laid our by her mom and reacted in the most predictable way. Connor clearly is getting rebuffed. Tom has been abused all season.

I suspect the season finale sees Big Moves by Tom and Gerri.

(Say that last part out loud, they should have a spinoff)

[budwom]

^ I'm looking for some Cousin Greg breakthrough too, as unlikely as that might seem.
