At least one of them - the one who possibly not uncoincidentally looks and acts a lot like Gerard from Peep Show - has been in one or two episodes before. I think the Boar on the Floor episode?

why was shiv being nice to tom when in their immediately precedent scene together she was at his throat? the only consequent thing that happened is the increased offer, but even in that scene she expected it to go through?
― sean gramophone, Tuesday, 25 April 2023 03:12 (one year ago) link
ep made me wonder if Mattson has things worse than frozen blood, and he wants to own the most news to control the narrative.

just spitballing but it seems like she likes to be the dominant one in their relationship. obv she was mad that he helped logan but also that made tom more powerful than her. then since logan died tom has been flailing but so has shiv, she doesn't really have much power right now either. but now she feels like her influence with matsson is what pushed the deal through, she's feeling powerful again, higher up than tom.
― na (NA), Tuesday, 25 April 2023 13:04 (one year ago) link
basically as long as she feels like she's higher up than tom, she feels more sympathetic towards him.

Maybe Shiv or even Tom on her behalf will end up orchestrating something with ATN like breaking a legit scandal that costs Mencken votes on election day, enough for him to lose and be tarnished. Shiv is then caught on whether to take the credit or deflect blame onto Tom but ends up feeling and/or acting like she alone decided the election. Something like that might be a fun outcome for her character but Mencken's lack of appearance so far this season suggests the election storyline isn't going to be that pivotal.
― nashwan, Tuesday, 25 April 2023 13:14 (one year ago) link
There at least four different outlets doing Succession recap power rankings, and three of them agree that Shiv is top dog among the sibs this week. (Vulture gives a slight edge to Roman, tho as much by accident as anything.)

I think it added $5 to the per-share purchase price. No idea what that actually translates to in the fictitious valuation of the company, has anyone thrown around an actual dollar amount for the total deal? If so I don't remember.

The table read of the pilot episode of “Succession” took place in Manhattan on November 8, 2016: Election Day. That evening, the cast and the rest of the team gathered at the home of Adam McKay—an executive producer of the show, and the director of the pilot—for a party that was expected to celebrate the victory of Hillary Clinton. Matthew Macfadyen, the British actor who plays Tom Wambsgans, told me, “We watched the results come in, and everyone wandered off into the night—good for storytelling, bad for humanity.” Armstrong’s most significant memory of the occasion was how quickly attendees accommodated to what initially seemed to be earth-shattering news. “It was such a shock—then five, ten minutes later, everyone’s living in a new reality,” he said. Even in calamity, he observed, many people are “quite oriented towards how it affects them, and what they will do next.”
inspired by this bit of timing, maybe

roman risking it all to trash matsson was very satisfying, bc he was right. as much as they all want to pose like "it's just business," matsson was definitely trying to use logan's death (and an artificial deadline) to push the deal to his advantage.

Roman didn't add anything to the share price, Shiv did. She told Mattson if he offered more money, the brothers would do the deal, and she was right and Mattson listened. How do we know this, because the two people Shiv told Mattson were needed, Carolina and Geri, were not on the kill list!
The brothers just emotionally stumbled and bumbled into Mattson and Shiv's deal.

If Mattson is going to have Shiv run Waystar/Royco post-deal and Kendall and Roman get wind of it, they will absolutely try to tank the deal rather than let her run their dad's company.
