Official Succession Thread 🟠 Season 4 Currently Airing

[Gloxina]

The only reason I'd say it isn't straight from the Logan playbook is because they've been used first, and now hoping to get what they want in return, and there's no reason to believe they'll get it.

Logan would never allow himself to be used first, and then sit around waiting for the deed to be paid on the comeback.

Logan would probably have stock in both so that he's in a decent position however the chips fall.

One phone call (or one ignored phone call) by Mencken, and suddenly they've done all they did and got nothing in return but a ruined rep and a lunatic in power who they don't have a direct line on.

Even if you re-listen to Mencken on the phone to Roman after his speech, he sounded like he was bullshyting him and didn't sound genuinely thankful.

Exactly. They’re all getting played and will all learn that they are not their father.
Safest bet was to keep the same team/leadership in place. They need Geri.

Shiv was talking to Greg like it was Season One. Got my boy all the way fukked up

shoulda just said how golden it was

I got the ending song repeat

 

[Gizmo_Duck]

Its kind if amazing, i don’t think Shiv has any actual power to fire Greg as just a shareholder

 

[Digital Omen]

“the country is a big p*ssy waiting to get fukked” Roman throwing out weezy bars now

Who? Tony Montana said that about Miami in 83

said it better than I could. Roman and Kendall are operating from a position of weakness and desperation, which how they got into this mess in the first place.

Picture Logan doing something that can literally change the world based off an IOU from a Presidential candidate, not even the actual president

 

[Digital Omen]

Rava gets on my nerves. So you want to run to Kens office because he has security but get mad when he tells you that he already has security and that’s who it is.

Except Kendall didn't tell her like a normal father concerned about his daughter's safety would
Just "I'm the man I do what the fukk I want" energy
Imagine being followed around town by security without your knowledge

This show really could have used another season to deal with the fallout of ATN calling the election early. I can't believe there are only two more episodes.

 

[the elastic]

And if this show has taught us anything, it's that things don't play out how these idiots think it will.

They've been used

Which would be a little too accurate

Rome has always had a hard on for Mencken and the alt-right, kinda reminds me of Andrew Schultz
At the same time he is the one with the most business sense, so strictly speaking he made the call because if not, it was going to fukk with the bottom line when the hard right networks made the call, and then they lose audience numbers (same shyt Fox did, keep up the lie so they wouldn't lose viewers and it ended up costing them $780 mil)
The only play left for Shiv is feed info to Jimenez so he can sue, but I still see the CE Bros bankrupting the company and Mattson getting the deal of a lifetime for pennies on the dollar. I just want to see Ken and Rome's face when they have to sign the bankruptcy papers and give Mattson the keys to the kingdom for $20 mil or some shyt

 

[Ed MOTHERFUCKING G]

Ruthless billionaires become billionaires by respecting the process and not interfering at all





What Roman did was straight from the Logan playbook.

And Kendall was like "can accept BEING dad? " And when he realized the only person holding him back was shiv, and she is a lying piece of dirt, he went full L to the OG

#teamkendall

101 wins - 92 losses
Still got the crown

 

[I AM WARHOL]

Shiv’s face when Tom asked if she was cap is enough for Snook to win any award she wants. The hurt and unbelief was so clearly communicated

 

[PlayerNinety_Nine]

For me - Hands down the best HBO fukkery since the episode of Barry with the Tae Kwon Do kid.

Everyone going full fukking beast. Tom getting ski'd up was the perfect spark to what was basically an hour long 5 way knife fight in a phone booth.

Next week about to be even crazier

What Roman was doing had nothing to do with ATN or ratings or falling behind the far-right networks, it was because Mencken's people promised to stop the Gojo deal because Rome and Ken don't wanna do it

 

[phillycavsfan]

Not for Fox. In fact their base would be mad at them for NOT miscalling it in the republicans favor.

If they ended up being wrong, they'd be screwed. If they keep restating the lie, they lose sponsors. If they recant, they lose supporters who believe they were betrayed. Fox still catches heat from MAGA republicans for calling Arizona first back in 2020.

Another season definitely would’ve worked. There’s so much potential fall out from this episode based on what happened in real life.
