I dunno I got the sense Logan was sincere about Shiv at first and then promptly regretted it, it was less a matter of ideology and more down to her impatience, reluctance to do the management training course and general bad judgement.
He's going to end up leaving everything to Greg.

Episode 5 is a masterpiece.
My money's on Greg(ory) as well. I'd like a Greg only bottle episode.

Because it’s Succession, when I read the script I thought, “There is no one in this episode who is noble.”

Logan practically chasing down the car was the most pathetic moment showing that he's a big old weak narcissist under all that projected self-confidence and braggadocio
― untuned mass damper (mh), Monday, 16 September 2019 21:49 (four years ago) link
Season 1 felt way too caricatured for me, with characters not really going beyond their tics — Roman will approach a buffet, take a bite of something and put the rest back, and so on; Greg will raise the last word of every sentence. Costumes were fantastic, though.
But now season 2 (just watched it all up to now this weekend), and it’s a much better show. The characters are getting shaken out of their easy mannerisms, and just in general it feels a little more credible. And putting the Roys against the old-school Ivy League elite is really satisfying.

Ugh, and just after writing that, this episode goes back to Season 1 shallowness, taking away Holly Hunter character’s nuances and sophistication and the whole thing has a kind of BFA-LaBute-protege approach to sex and unoriginal swearing.

― ... (Eazy), Monday, 23 September 2019 02:34 (four years ago) link
I get the feeling that the character is purposefully chameleon-like and it was the Pierces who were tight-lipped New Englanders
― untuned mass damper (mh), Monday, 23 September 2019 02:46 (four years ago) link
and that she's playing for whoever is paying the bill? that was my takeaway as well. Unless the Pierce's are playing the tune and this is a long con...

fantastic episode last night. though odd that none of the roy children fucked anything up for once.

i guess tom and greg made up for that.
― na (NA), Monday, 7 October 2019 18:07 (four years ago) link
the hardest i've ever laughed at this show is when tom tried to say he'd never met greg and that cut to shiv losing her mind.

do you think Tom started out like Greg and was crafted into an oblivious but malignant exec by some similar svengali figure?
― mh, Monday, 7 October 2019 20:55 (four years ago) link
Tom has been working towards this his entire adult life and he's fucked.
I like how Team Roman being held hostage at gunpoint was almost the light relief from the general sense of clammy dread.

Actually it might be Kendall who's fucked and Logan has enough leverage to make him take the fall.

two amazing smaller moments:
greg complaining about his roséroman trying to get shiv and kendall to be serious and them briefly considering it before mocking him with baby voices

i love the brief moments on this show when sibling affection peeks out from behind the verbal animosity. even a couple of episodes back, i realized the connor actually laughed out out at some of roman's cracks instead of the usual exasperated stone face he gets from everyone else.
