-Hey what did you do this weekend. I played Boar on the floor with your dad.

-Do you really want to know?

'Boar on the floor' made me so uncomfortable I had to pull up netflix and plow through a couple episodes of the Office.

Oh, that was good. That final scene with Kendall and Shiv was powerful.

Damn, what a great scene at the end

This is the best show on tv by a long shot

Clearly not enough explosions and boobs for the majority of the mtv posters

The Jerry/Roman phone thing there at the end was sort of creepy to me

I thought that was a great scene but based on how fricked up the Roy children are, I was skeptical that Kendall was trying to lull Shiv into sympathy by acting pathetic.

I’ve been surprised that no one else thinks that’s the case, but I also may be jaded.

Connor at the funeral was hilarious. I hope I never meet anyone in the Wolfpack.

The thing that didn't ring true with this episode was Ken and Logan upping the offer to Holly Hunter in half-billion dollar increments. Even she stopped them by saying "you're bidding against yourself."

They weren't gaining an advantage with this strategy and they would have known better.

That was a weak scene. They knew Hunter wasn't in a position to say yea or nay to any monetary offer and despite that, they continued increasing the incentive.

Logan knew it was about trust and finally cut to the chase. No one in their right mind would ever trust Logan Roy.

It was a bit confusing. On the one hand, a guy like Roy would never ever bid against himself in a big money transaction negotiation. On the other hand, the show was trying I think to show how bad he wants this deal. Anyway, can’t wait for the episode next week. I really like the show.

It really is a great show. Not sure the viewership but hope it sticks around for a few seasons. Easily my favorite show out right now.

Tom and Greg interactions are the best. Them in the "panic room" and Greg taking water bottles off the head. Hahah.

That is the observation that made the scene so bizarre. A savvy businessman would never up an offer until such time when the initial offer was declined.

I think that was the intent as well. However, having Holly Hunter tell Logan she knew exactly what he was trying to accomplish with his bid should have slowed his roll a bit. He came across as being way too anxious.
