HBO's Succession - Season 2 and Beyond

I love Kendall's faux tough guy stuff. "can pinky dance?"

It's been so long since the fact Kendall has children has in any way been acknowledged

They're almost like Chuck from Happy Days at this point

I wouldn't be surprised if he's not allowed to see them.

i do miss rava, the only normal person on the show

feel like in one of the previews we see rava in an episode later on in the season. . . Kendall runs into her and says "I'm doing huge things*"

*Mind cocaine

wonder how iverson is doing

was just reading that Kendall's just separated from his wife still

he's the anti-Logan when it comes to personal relationships

Ken should have driven a big shoe onto stage like the birthday boy in the big skate at a roller rink.

Yeah I wondered why Kendall's kids weren't at the wake

Big shoes!
Big shoes.
Biiiig shoes.
Big, big shoes

big shoes

Yeah I wondered why Kendall's kids weren't at the wake

maybe because Logan hit one of them in the face with a can??

the kids were at their grandma's wedding iirc but that was the last time we saw them. I remember Logan asking one of them, "you know your dad's going to be all right, don't you?" or something. after Kendall's pool incident. probably not exactly what he said but close.

Big, big shoes

Please, I am cringing into a cramped state.

maybe because Logan hit one of them in the face with a can??

Not much chance of that happening this time, though.

Maybe Rava just decided that they've had enough of potentially emotional Roy family gatherings for the moment.

for sale: big shoes, never worn

lol

maybe because Logan hit one of them in the face with a can??

what episode was this? I can't remember

throw a can at the grandkid and a cant at their parent. Sweet grandpa Logan.

its so good

it’s perfect

did the rabbit have a name?
should be Yeezus

Big boots. Big Balenciaga boots.

90 minute finale, let's go

that writer i mentioned earlier said there was like a 2-hour cut of the logan’s death / connor’s wedding episode, i guess there’s probably long cuts of everything that they then have to chop down. i wonder if those will ever see the light of day

Oh that would be great. Would watch

RIP dvd box sets

Yeah, apparently most episodes are written long and get cut in the editing room. J. Smith-Cameron said in an interview there was a whole deleted subplot of the Norway episode that involved a Hunger Games-style athletic/survival competition between the Waystar and GoJo executives, as well as a longer sauna scene.

a Hunger Games-style athletic/survival competition between the Waystar and GoJo executives,

Now this is truly a loss

That they *shot*, or just that they wrote?

The fake brand names on this show are really weird in a way I can't put my finger on.
Gojo!
Kalispitron!
Doderick!

its def a slightly alternate reality

Bummer--I see there is at least one season on Blu-Ray, but has essentially no extras. I realize physical media is dying/dead (until the revival X years down the road) but this show seems tailor-made for a lavish prestige set.

Pre-orders could come with a sourdough starter.

I think she said they shot it

She was proud of a scene in which they went foraging for mushrooms and she surreptitiously switched baskets with one of the Swedes.

After the presentation goes well for Kendall, we see Karl clapping for him and calling him “special.” Are there any limits to his self-preservation?
No, no, no. I don’t care. That’s what I wanted him to do, and I’m perfectly fine with that: Good for you, that’s what I was talking about! I’m not going to remind you of our conversation, and I’m not going to say, “If you would have done anything else, I would have fucking killed you.” What I said was “You have your life or your death ahead of you. You make the choice.” He chose, and he did fine. We’re on track. I had to give him a spanking, and let’s just move on.

Pretty interesting

Every time Karl comes on screen I can’t help but think that SLEDGE HAMMER has crossed over into the show somehow

That's exactly the way I interpreted Karl's little dust-up with Kendall and his reaction to the speech as well fwiw. This isn't some deep vendetta it's business, and as far as Karl's concerned it worked - Kendall stayed away from the numbers

Was going to post my prediction last week and now I feel even more confidant. And I should be allowed this dumb prediction because I was the first person to predict how Mad Men would end.

I think Kendal comes out on top. I think it’s easy to say oh he’s manic and addictive and will crash but…really terrible people in the real world often do actually obtain power right? The final talk w frank made it clear what he’ll do to get there. I don’t want it to end like he was some kind of antihero and his being in charge is a happy resolution, but I think he wins at a great cost. It’ll be like michael at the end of the godfather, shutting the siblings out.

Feel free to give me shot for even bothering ti predict, and more shit when I’m wrong, but I’m just saying it here now so I can take the credit if I’m right.

Anyway that Tim shiv argument. Holy shit.

i like it cld def see it

brutal ep extremely bad air circulating

Totally missed it last week but during the recap they show Kendall writing the number 1 in the sand. Certainly he’s number 1 this week. And it’s a plausible theory he ends up there. Or will the waves wash it all away? Reverse Viking is pretty good plan - if he pulls that off, Ken will have earned his spurs.

I still think it’s inevitable from the beginning that Greg somehow goes from the bottom to the top.

I do wish that Mattson hadn’t made errors for the first time tonight after being an unbeatable adversary.

I feel like there were some misinterpretations itt about last week's ep, kendall def came out a big winner, everyone doubted him & even his brother gave up on him and then he executed, the vision helped make something that didnt work on paper work in reality, him being a winner for a time is in fact a part of watching the show, it wouldn't have happened without him and sets the stage for the growing conflict (I think this week's ep further backs this up)
