HBO's Succession - Season 2 and Beyond

no one more

virtually everyone who has done any theater work ever knows a jeremy strong type. sometimes they're successful. they tend to be insufferable regardless.

it’s not his JOB to be sufferable to you

Got David Caruso written all over it.

lol

it's kinda unrealistic that gerri is in roman's phone as "Gerri Kellman" - i bet he'd have her in there as like "rack my balls gerri" or something

also this is super quibbly but the way Roman sent the text to Logan is not really possible? but who gives a shit it was such a great turn

I think the animation was a little off, but if you're in the middle of texting someone, get a notification and absent-mindedly click on it, and then put in your message/photo, you've switched who you're texting

just tried it on my phone and it was a little off, but worked

Yeah, it shows Logan texting Roman a message very similar to the one Gerri texted a split-second before, so it makes sense when he clicked to reply he thought it was to Gerri.

@rogermexico - fair, I'm rooting for Jerri too, I guess. How long til we get an episode showing how awful she really is?

even after dispatching the whole roy clan, jerri's knife will still be clean; it's her superpower

pretty funny shiv trying to trick jerri, the top lawyer at a huge company, into enacting legal proceedings

Gerri: "I don't recall."

you know youre good when youve always got i dont recall ready

the other slightly unrealistic thing was everybody at the party seeing skarsgard's tweet at once - as if everybody had twitter on their phone and notifs for skarsgard turned on? not likely. probably more likely roman or the balding pr guy does and then emailed everybody the tweet. but then how did logan find out so quickly? logan's the ceo. ceo's don't read emails

No the way star pr woman messengered them I thought.

xpost - I'm assuming his assistant showed him.

ah ok. i was def. willing to suspend my disbelief, and it's totally quibbly anyway.

If you want to know re: Ken dead or not, read this article carefully, there is a spoiler but you have to do some detective work

Without knowing exactly what you're referring to, I'll note that some scenes that are filmed do not make the final cut.

...although reading it again, I think there might be something there.

i dont want to read the whole thing can u put the theory on here behind a spoiler tag

Kendall appears to be sitting at the wedding with the rest of them

It really didn’t occur to me at all that Kendall might be dead. Surely it’s just him being a melodramatic child cosplaying what it felt like to drown after the conversation with Logan (except doing it on an inflatable in a pool in Tuscany which kind of highlighted how empty the gesture was to anyone outside of his own head). He even spoke to his kid in a really teenagey monosyllabic way right beforehand. Just another pathetic Kendall moment imo

Also Jeremy Strong is amazing in this and has my full support for any ludicrous self-seriousness on or off set

otm x2

I didn't know podcast hosts were this hot

i read the beginning and was there any indication that it was the actual wedding day and not just a scene that didnt make the cut

not sure why everyone keeps acting like Comfrey is the hottest thing to ever walk the earth and Greg is some anthropomorphic egg who is insane for even approaching her, but I guess it's just them ganging up on him for the fuck of it

i only knew dekrasova from watching Wobble Palace, had no idea she became hipster internet famous between then and now.

@lagoon - could be a fake out.

both waterface and jaymc seem to think theres more there but theyre not talking...

i mean she is hot and greg is a huge dork who called her mlady when she said she might have to slime him in the press

ive never listened to the red scare podcast but since i go on twitter i have heard people talk about it

i also did not watch white lotus but still it was funny to hear that the director told the actors playing the awful college girls to model their performance after red scare

tbh I think Greg could be enamored with anyone above the social status of starbucks barista — and maybe not the barista at the good ATN starbucks — and they’d be negging him just as hard

like the entire thing with these people is they’re enacting their own versions of Logan’s dog kicking, with Tom’s being weirdly frat boy-esque, Roman trying his weird repressed version, even Connor, having experienced an earlier childhood, doing his weird shit

there’s this bit where Logan wants everyone to succeed, within his dog-kicking standards of fealty. you drop the fealty or don’t appreciate getting kicked, he just makes your life hell. and if you put up with it, you’re one of his godawful goblin children and he will kick and defend you to the end of the earth

for is new car, he asks Roman if he’s some kind of pervert and the first response is just to clean shit up even if he’s firing the president of his company

lol autocorrect, *for instance

yeah that he would go straight to firing gerri tells you everything you need to know about the inner circle

I devoured that profile and I know the New Yorker fact checkers don’t play but… there is no way Jeremy Strong held a boom mic for Anthony Hopkins speech on Amistad. That’s a crucial union crew position and they wouldn’t have let him do that, this has been been driving me crazy!

i had the same thought! You don't get to hold heavy hardware over the head of an oscar winner just because you write letters.

buddy, they won't even let me hold it

At first, I had the same thought as you -- why couldn't it be a cut scene from the garden party in the episode we just saw? -- but the details sounded too much like a toast at a wedding. It's described as a scene with "a hundred extras, all seated and cooking in linen suits and sheath dresses," at which Shiv is "delivering some remarks she has been asked to give at the last minute," and where her siblings, including Kendall, are "seated next to her." First, it seems unlikely that the show would've entirely cut a fairly big set-piece like that. Second, it doesn't make sense, plot-wise, given that Kendall is exiled from the pre-wedding festivities almost as soon as he arrives.

yeah good point thanks

Haven't read the hidden text ^^ yet, but am vaguely recalling a length profile of an actor right before they were knocked off a show, maybe The Sopranos.
