I don’t think it’s a question. He’s definitely the most self aware.

No shot in hell any of the others go to the leadership training

It is just funny seeing reddit/twitter/podcasters do the "shiv is a queen" thing when she is as bad or worse


Well this is from twitter

Roman is the most emotionally intelligent and best at reading a room by far, but he's also by far the worst executive and the least in control of his Id. His also probably more aware of his limitations than the other 3 siblings.


That’s why Gerry is so pissed at Roman. She was willing to mentor him, cover for his flaws, and put up with his mommy issues until he was ready. Instead he decided to crap all over her. Would love to see her blindside them all.

Wait, people think Tom is likable?

The actor is really good and he has some funny scenes with Greg, but I think Tom is one of the least likable characters on the show.

The only time I find myself rooting for Shiv is when it comes to Tom.

I don’t know how any sane person can consider Shiv a queen

The writers are very fair in how they deal with the characters and they are all flawed and generally bad people.

I know the scene with Tom and Shiv is getting a lot of attention, but I also really liked the scene with Kendall and his ex-wife. I’m sure we are all just glad that poor Iverson wasn’t involved

The problem with the Gerri firing is that she knows where all the bodies are buried and pretty much can't be just let go without an agreement. She knows that.


That's why she was putting Roman on notice of her nine-figure demand.

Non of them are likable.

It's more of a ranking of who is the better of all of the evils.

I personally like Tom more than Shiv. But less than Roman. that doesnt' make any of them likable. My ranking is more in line with how well they entertain me.

In relation to the other characters. I think people tend to like him more because of the humor with Greg but also because he wasn't necessarily born with a silver spoon in his mouth.

I do find it funny that he's where he is because he married up though.

I can't even root her there. It all goes back to her telling him she wanted an open marriage on the eve of their wedding because she didn't want to stop fricking some randos but still wanted the marriage to show off to everyone else and jockey for Daddy's approval. Again, not that Tom was perfect but he was a hell of a lot less tainted at that point.

I really want to see the old guard come out on top.

When Carl put the screws to Kendall before he went on stage. That was the first time one of them straight spank one of the Roy kids.

The problem is that Skarsgaard is completely unpredictable, a total wildcard at times, and less intelligent than we assumed last season.

I’m struggling to see who will come out on top, and we only have 3 episodes to go.

Next week’s episode seems to be focused on the election and Shiv and Roman’s diverging views on Mencken, so I’m not sure a lot will be solved next week, either.

I think the India numbers and blood to the PR chick is fake. Mattson is playing the kids and they’re falling for it.

The India numbers thing seems like an obvious set up but I can’t figured out to what ends

Figures out who is ride or die, I suppose. Kendall will try to bring it to the board. Accusations are proven false, makes Kendall look weak, board votes deal through...exposes Roy Troupe as absolute imbeciles.

Greg inherits the Earth.

I can't figure out why these people can't be happy getting $2-3B each.

Just go do something else. I wouldn't even bother with all this crap. Sell and move on.

I suppose Logan couldn't figure it out either. How big does your ego and insecurities have to be to turn down being a billionaire?

Because there’s more to it than money. It’s the power of controlling a large media conglomerate. Just look at the influence it has in our own lives. It’s about power.
