tom turned the tables on shiv. notice, she still got her ring on, and he got his shyt off and he trying to fukk with kendall's ex naomi pierce.

shiv, gonna regret telling tom she don't even love him :pacspit:
Yeah I’ve been riding with Tom & Greg because they are just great fukking television. I mean written excellently and performed even better. If people don’t fukk with Tom, I gotta question them in general.

He's a cuck loser with 0 backbone. Why do you fukk with him?
The reason is in the very post you quoted. Because he is giving a great performance, is written well, very good at his job and is the only source of empathy in the show that can be attached to a character. You realize that he maneuvered into position of being the head of CNN/Fox News equivalent? Yeah he isnt anyone compared to Logan but the kids belittling Tom is like Steve Jobs daughter trying to look down on Tim Cook. Tom is Tim Cook. Even Logan started recognizing that in Tom. He definitely has a backbone. I dont know what show youve been watching to say that unless youre just talking about him and Shiv. Which is fair he is passive with Shiv but not a cuck because he didnt rock with anything she was doing with ole boy and didnt find out until the wedding. Since then theyve both been in an open marriage and he's been the only one actually smashing other people. Thats why Shiv is tight right now.

Uh, he couldn't even level with Logan about how bad a host his assistant is. He has 0 backbone. He is sniveling and married a woman who doesn't even respect him much less love him in order to "maneuvered into position of being the head of CNN/Fox News equivalent". Is he even passionate about his career or just greedy about money? I have 0 empathy for him. He's a loser and could have chosen a different path. He is a competent executive I give you that, therefore he doesn't need to be this sniveling, coat riding loser. He could probably do something he is passionate about and move up the ladder thru *gasp* merit.

y’all both raising some great points…I just want to say his sniveling act more so seems conniving to me (he showed us who he really was when he made that play against shiv and the “kids”) but I understand not respecting him using that as a way to secure what he wants…I thought it was funny how tom said everything other than the bytch is lousy when tiptoeing around her audition tape…thought it was equally funny watching logan dance around it too and insisting he was “hands off” on the whole process lol…performance-wise I think the actor is great, character-wise I look at him primarily as comic relief so I’m no longer as disgusted with the character as I was in season one when I was still getting a feel for the show

Caught up :wow::wow::wow::wow:Logan>>>>>>>All these kids are too damn emotional or in Romans case just too damaged mentally and physically. They could've just agreed on Logans deal and just take the money. Start their own shyt:snoop::snoop:Too busy trying to "strike back" against their father who extened a legitimate olive branch.:snoop:Now Logan about to use Roman as a puppet again.

I think you selling Tom short business wise :manny:
What coat riding has he done? :jbhmm:
You dont get in his position just off of the marriage, that will only get you so far.
Seems like the only "weakness" he has shown is to Logan and his wife. The issue with the assistant was that everyone thinks that is his mistress. So it makes since he would tiptoe around that. shyt with his wife is complicated :manny:
Other than those two, one of the most powerful men in the world and his wife, who has he really shown weakness to? :jbhmm:

That's not really a weakness tho. IIRC in that scene, he was thrilled and bragging about it. If he in to that, that's just what he in to :hubie:
So....other than you commenting on his sex life......... you have nothing? :jbhmm:

Try spinning swallowing your own load into a win brehs. lol
If a chick want you swallow a load, the response is assault.

It ain't never happened to me, thank God, cause I'd mush a bish, obviously that something rich white ppl do.

A poor man just gone knock you out or mush you.

Youre making points that are subjective and thats cool. He isnt sniveling in his marriage or work. Youre confusing his actions with Logan as if these are his actions with anyone other than Logan and that isnt the case. the reality is that Tom hasnt done anything differently than Gerri or Carl or the other guys as far as how they handle Logan with the exception that Tom has both stood up to Logan AND offered to sacrifice himself to Logan. Which is exactly why Tom is in the room. Keep in mind, this most recent episode, Tom is the only person that Logan sat down with at his birthday party.

Him accommodating that open marriage shyt to Shiv is definite knock, wont argue that. But thats my personal subjective opinion about not doing it. Being objective, he did something he didnt want to do for his marriage to continue but since doing so, he is the only one who actually has been having open relationship. Shiv did not respect him, I agree. That is also a knock to be with a woman that doesnt respect him. But I believe, and this is me just thinking where they are going with the writing, is that Shiv actually DOES respect him, she's just finding that out now because Tom is doing exactly what Shiv has WANTED to do. Earn her fathers respect and actually be comfortable in an open marriage. Thats why she was bothered by Tom being with Naomi and the whole Disgusting Brothers thing with Greg.

Back to my specific point, you have issues with the choices the character is making. I spoke about actor's performance and the writing of the character as well. It can not be denied that dude is killing this role as Tom and Tom's character, along with Greg are the only ones showing real development. Its more to his character portrayal than just him being a pushover in his marriage.
