Another solid episode

Shiv getting visibly upset and angry showing the most emotion I think since the show started after Kendall blasted her big speech

Greg getting hoodwinked into buying a $40,000 watch that doesn’t even work

Connor - I want some sucky suck on my dicky dick

Don't forget the 'wheat field full of dicks and a combine harvester'.

The last 15 minutes saved this episode from being the 3rd in a row of all the characters running in circles with nothing happening. Shiv finally picks a side and starts taking shots at Kendall, fbi showing up, and reality finally hitting Kendall in the face.


I actually got so bored and zoned out I kind of missed the end. I saw that "Rape Me" started playing during Shiv's speech and the FBI showed up at Waystar, what happened with Kendall at the talk show? Shiv gave them the story about Kendall being an addict and he finally realized he's not in on the joke? Did I miss anything else?

Roman and Connor both aren’t going to throw Kendall under the bus and might still flip sides. I hate Kendall this season so much and it feels like he’s gonna go back to being an addict at some point this season. I get his sister called him an addict but nothing she said should’ve stopped him from doing the interview. This season doesn’t feel like war and it really just feels like Logan vs. the government.

I thought this same thing last night... I questioned whether the writers were trying to make us hate Kendall, because it's working... Good tweet, bad tweet? C'mon man... Sulking in the server room like a little bitch? C'mon man...
And Logan finally giving the order to cooperate? Yeah no shite bruh, the FBI is downstairs...….
I was hooked on season 1 and 2 but this season, for me anyway, has been a let down..
I hope it gets better and the Sandy/Stewey storyline gets explored. The same sibling drama is getting old.

Better episode.

Shiv has definitely put on some padding and not in a good way. That dress was NOT flattering.

She's always been THICC in all the right ways, now just moreso. Would still smash. Love red heads, hooded eyes, and big butts.

Kendall is the most compelling on the show right now. His meltdown over the arc of the episode was the best part.

Rape Me was awesome.

Has he ever been likeable? He's always been wormy and cringy.

I don’t think likable is really the right word for Kendall but between him and his siblings he was probably who most wanted to see take over. He’s clearly a train wreck tho. I thought this ep was best of the 3 so far.

Damn are we watching the same show?
I’m glued to the TV the whole episode and think this season has been just as good as the first two.

The “Rape me” scene at the town hall was one of the best moments of the whole series IMO

This was a better episode but I still think all the characters are continuing to devolve more and more into caricatures of themselves.

Kendall is just way too cringeworthy in every single interaction he is in - like we ALL know he is going to bomb whatever interaction he takes part in

I thought Kendall was excellent in season 2, but it’s like the writers totally forgot about his character arc and decided to turn him into a degenerate Michael Scott

They do need something major to actually happen, like someone goes to prison or Logan dies, Something major needs to happen to mix things up at the end of this season, otherwise it will start to get old

Yeah there’s nobody in that family that’s really likable. I was kind of going for Kendall but they’ve definitely made him come across like a caricature.

Watched it again last night and this is pretty spot on. I think what had me so excited about the finale last year was thinking Kendall was finally going to get it together and be a legit adversary for Logan, but they took him back to the Fredo role with Roman making his usual wisecracks and Shiv furrowing her brow at everything everybody says. Even Greg has been pretty boring this year and he was one of my favorite characters on TV the first 2 seasons

I must admit like others this season has really been weak thus far. It could still redeem itself, but the caricature comment is spot on. I have found Roman's lines to be even more childish and over the top than previous seasons.

The writing overall is still good and has some funny laughs and lines. I think Tom is well written so far this season. Can't believe Shiv let him be the sacrifice. What a bitch.

I was on team Kendall until they made him too manic and over the top.

Something really needs to happen to shake this show up because it is a big drop off after the first two seasons.

This episode was great until the very end IMO.

If they would have had him doing the interview and then being confronted with the letter live on TV and have him dumbfounded not knowing how to respond, the ending would have been great.

I dunno. I liked the end. I think him pussing out of the interview is peak Kendall regression back into addiction.

I’m 99.9% Kendall is bipolar and just self medicates with illegal substances though. He has the really typically manic highs and depressive lows.

Yea I guess I’m hoping that’s not the direction this is going if it devolves into Kendall is on drugs, the family all hates each other, and Logan is pulling all the strings, we are right where we started in season one
