Boar on the floor! Hahah. It was quick but if you noticed right after they stood up, Greg was still going to town and eating his sausage. Hahah

Also, I'm drawing a blank. Who was Mo. Who they said talked to the author but died? Was it the board member in S1 that was sick?

yeah exactly
and Kendall knows it is happening but no doubt hopes he can get close to the old man and wait out his death

Shiv is so thirsty she doesnt see what Logan is doing or she is in denial

they all talked to the writer because they are all worried about how they will look in the book

Greg: Is he nice?

Tom: Your asking about the moral character of a man named Ratfricker Sam?

What blackmail does Logan have on Shiv?

Connor’s character has the possibility of being so unrealistic that it’s no longer funny (like Kevin in the Office), but for now it’s still working. His rant about the elites was a nice touch.

I saw a behind the scenes thing with the cast, and it’s amazing how much Kieran Culkin and the actor who plays Greg are just like their characters. I really don’t think they are when acting much. On the other hand, Tom is a very polite British guy and Shiv is also British and much more demure IRL.

Logan or Marsha and her investigators know about Shiv's affair. They alluded to it at her wedding on the stairs and before when she was at dinner w Logan.

At least this show takes time to wade through a multi-billion dollar acquisition.

If this were Billions, Axe would have made the deal before lunch and flipped the company by dinner time.

Shiv has been trending down for me since she’s turned Tom into a cuckhold

Could just be me, but I’ve always considered Shiv the person that controls that relationship from top to bottom.

I don’t think Tom is a total beta or anything, but Shiv comes off as someone with an incredibly strong personality to me and Tom rarely challenges her or takes control. I figured that was why she cheats more than anything.

I hate using the beta/alpha comparisons in almost in every case, but it actually works for Shiv and Tom.

Also Tom is used to his previous life where he stood out and people liked and/or respected him, and that’s why he takes out his frustration on the only person who is beneath him in the cast, Greg.

It wouldn’t shock me if Greg surpasses him too, both through his connection to Kendall and through general good luck falling into his lap (I.e. Big Head on Silicon Valley).

It's got to be something else I would think. Tom knows about at least one affair, I don't think Shiv would care enough to be blackmailed with that info

They did mention their initial plan when they got married was for Tom to end up taking over (until Logan appointed shiv). However, I think Tom just sits there and takes her shite because he doesn't want to do anything to jeopardize his future with Waystar... because without Shiv he's just another replaceable suit in the corporate machine

Yea, I don't know how she could be blackmailed since she pretty much told Tom she was going to cat around.

Right, Tom has no power, and it's not really his fault. His choices are walk away and give up his ambitions or keep hanging around and getting shite on hoping he catches a break.

I’m waiting for the season to. End before I watch, but can someone tell me if cousin Greg is still a baller?
