I couldn't read Kendall's motivations either, other than to see what happens if you piss off based 4chan Swede

avclub had quite a good recap https://www.avclub.com/succession-review-season-4-episode-2-rehearsal-1850281823
― kinder, Tuesday, 4 April 2023 13:42 (one year ago) link
not sure if people are talking about Roman changing his vote (could totally see that) or running ATN (he could totally do that, he's a scum puppy) but yeah he seems the least worst of the kids in terms of having a good business sense
― a (waterface), Tuesday, 4 April 2023 14:03 (one year ago) link
I actually took Logan at face value. Like there's a chance he thinks Roman can turn ATN into what he wants it to be, vicious and brutal and smarmy etc
Kendall really confused me as well though. But I think maybe at this point he just like setting things on fire and causing damage? Unlike Shiv he knows Matson is serious, and unlike Shiv he probably doesn't really care about def getting the money and running pierce. More important to him to just fuck with dad?

^this is my take also
― werewolves of laudanum (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 4 April 2023 14:26 (one year ago) link
yes that is a great take
― a (waterface), Tuesday, 4 April 2023 14:34 (one year ago) link
Yeah it's a little heartbreaking that Roman actually seems to want to work on something to prove that he can (even if he doesn't care whether it's 'The Hundred' or ATN), when the other siblings are more purely concerned with family politics and grievances.

I'm going to be sad if they make Romey go full brownshirt but I expect that is exactly what will happen

who's gonna have the worst crash--my vote is on Kendall

Kendall's gonna OD.
That AV Club article was great.

in the pre-show recap prior to the episode there was the snip of previous-season Tom saying to Logan that he'd be the one to go to prison and now I think that however this ends, Tom goes to prison and Logan escapes

as I am putting together the question "Is Logan gonna fuck Tom?" I realized I had the answer right in front of me OF COURSE HE WILL

“Famous blue raincoat” was hilarious

kendall saw something that moved him in his call with lukas but its unclear what it was, very mysterious
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 5 April 2023 00:24 (one year ago) link
He saw an open bag of Doritos and Made a mental note to send for some
― calstars, Wednesday, 5 April 2023 00:26 (one year ago) link
Yeah but obviously he would have just closed the window before connecting to the projector, I mean c'mon.

he was already wirelessly connected to the tv logan walks in and he closes the laptop when he reopens it just picks up where he left off
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 5 April 2023 00:28 (one year ago) link
It's a small point but I swear I saw him plug in the hdmi before reopening it!

ok i rewatched it youre right not sure why they did it like that
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 5 April 2023 01:23 (one year ago) link
the glare of Logan tells him he must. plus they would've heard it anyway I assume.

I Wonder where that bar scene was shot
― calstars, Wednesday, 5 April 2023 11:56 (one year ago) link
My immediate reading of the Kendall/Matson call was that Kendall recognised thirsty behaviour when he saw it. Is it possible that Matson is actually under some pressure himself to get the deal made and so is using threats to avoid the possibility of having to spend more money? Feels like everyone is taking Matson at face value and I’m not sure why.

Some hearty fare

So it's actually Connor's wedding in the next ep? That's the third wedding so far, it's like a soap opera!And on Gojo deal day too!

it's very Arrested Development

Shiv was def making fun of this, like "oh really, if he said it then it must be true, surely there is not the possibility of saying an untrue thing" or whatever, but I'm on the hook to see how it goes down.
― change display name (Jordan), Wednesday, 5 April 2023 14:28 (one year ago) link
yeah i guess kendall getting a read that matsson wld pay more is the most likely answer, it felt like he had some emotional reaction to the call tho, i guess that emotion could just be recognizing an opportunity for business wins, or maybe he believed him and decided it would be fun to kill the deal
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 5 April 2023 14:33 (one year ago) link
I do love that the sibling alliance has fallen apart before it even started, they’re all shiftily making calls and making moves behind each other’s backs and then without knowing it playing each other and potentially wrecking multiple deals.
― omar little, Wednesday, 5 April 2023 14:38 (one year ago) link
I think as always the issue with this show is the alliances and plots are built on shifting sands and what’s an established group now may be at each other’s throats soon. Logan knows divide and rule has been a winning strategy for generations of tyrants!

Connor is what would’ve happened to Cameron in Ferris bueller if he hadn’t wrecked his dad’s ferrari and actually seen karaoke irl at a parade.

And assumed Tom would get up to speak and take a tumble in front of everyone.
i was hoping the boxes would just gently crumple slightly for Tom

I keep coming back to that 'you're not serious people' line as a very 'game unwittingly recognize game' comment from Mr. My News Network is a Pirate Ship

Except you just saw the reporters get carried along with it? The guy who can fire you at will is a serious person. The kids can’t get it together enough to settle on an agreed strategy and are constantly stabbing each other in the back.
― limb tins & cum (gyac), Wednesday, 5 April 2023 23:10 (one year ago) link
plus idk this is just me but i think Logan knows that they are all far more motivated by “get back at Dad” than “succeed in business” and i think he clearly sees that in their shenanigans (maybe more than they think?)
― werewolves of laudanum (VegemiteGrrl), Wednesday, 5 April 2023 23:49 (one year ago) link
so some people on this board may know one of my jobs is hosting karaoke in portland, so anyways I used to have this whole bit I’d do threatening an all-Leonard Cohen karaoke night, so when Connor was caught mid-famous blue raincoat you can imagine I had to pick myself off the floor
