I'm just lost now on what the entire point of this show is anymore. The plot just seems to be all over the place.

I always just took it as a sort of Seinfeld “the plot is there is no plot, everyone just sucks in circles” sort of exercise.

And what does anyone in this company actually do as far as actual work goes? Seems like they just float around and talk in circles with each other.

I think that’s partly the point of the characterizations: trust fund babies jockeying for position they feel entitled to by nepotism alone on relatively little merit and it all falls apart because nobody is actually equipped to do the job and everyone is trying to destroy everyone else.

It’s just a show about dysfunction (which admittedly can be tedious and boring to keep coming back to as a viewer)

Wasn’t that the point of Kendall telling Roman “you’re not even a real person”?

Hence the quotes on human. But that can be said of pretty much all of them at this point. Caricatures. Not pleasant ones either.

She hates Mencken but hates having Roman having power even more.


Mencken is good for ATN business, shiv is an ideologue where Roman is a businessman. Roman is also a shark that is fearless, the one of the 4 kids like Logan

Tom getting jealous of Greg wanting to ask out the mousy PR girl and trying to sabotage it was great. Tom is going to kiss Greg in one of the last two episodes

it is laughable that PR girl is "out of Greg's League," she is cute but pretty average, so that tells you what Tom and Kendall think of Greg

Kendall looking over the railing at his condo was definitely foreshadowing

Connor and Willa make for an interesting couple, she is not dumb and neither is he. But they are both delusional

Logan's assistant is becoming the subtle power player in the company, when the kids and Geri try to force her out we will get the Les Moonves/Roger Ailes type #METOO storyline

I don’t think any of the characters were ever like able. They are all horrible people.

But this season seems to be dragging on. I was hoping this entire season wouldn’t be just the allegations and pending litigation. But here we are. Nothing at all has really happened. I could have started the season half way through and nothing would have changed. Unfortunate.

this is easily the worst season hope they get back on track S4.

I had always thought she hated him and his ideas but just played along with his ridiculous plans for the lifestyle. I was surprised to see her dedicated to him actually trying to be president

I actually did like Tom the first 2 seasons, as the character provided a lot of comedic moments and was the guy who came into the family from the outside and we got to see his perspective of what it was like to walk into such a crazy world.

But now they have made him into a soft, whiny, mood swinging bitch, and instead of developing the friendship angle with Greg, he just bullies Greg now to make himself feel better about everyone else shitting on him. I'm so glad they took prison off the table because I could not listen to another minute of Tom bitching about prison. It was literally his entire character this season.

It’s becoming very obvious that they want to make everyone who is bullied or put down into a bully to a weaker character.

Kendall bullies Greg and some of his support staff despite wanting to be the cool, hip guy. Obviously he is bullied by Logan.

Roman bullies Shiv, after he was bullied by Connor and Kendall as a kid.

Shiv bullies/manipulates Tom because she loses clout to Roman and is failing to win over her father.

Tom is bullied by all of the Roy’s except Logan, who just takes advantage of him. And in return, he bullies Greg.

It’s like the Farmer in the Dell except with yuppie bullies. Greg, the cheese stands alone

calling it: Greg is asking the PR girl out because leveraging her to publish the papers is an out for him. They do a good line on towing the line with Greg - is he just a moron, or is he a moron that's very intentionally Machiavellian as frick

Also if anyone is familiar with the Cumtown podcast, Kendall’s assistant is the girl who used to date the host who always gets picked on. Also she was the viral troll in the Infowars (I think) interview where she messes with the reporter asking about Venezuela
Dasha also has a pretty big podcast herself. Not sure how a typical OT lounge poster would take to cumtown but it is the funniest garbage you will ever listen to.

Dasha just had Alex Jones on her podcast.. Dasha and her cohost are self acclaimed socialists, but apparently it’s a great interview from everything I’ve read

Need to give that a damn listen. Could it be better than the cumtown interview with Bam Margera?

I guess different strokes for different folks. I love Tom's dumb lines regarding prison. Like his toilet wine references lmao

The last episode sucked. I feel like they don’t know what to do with the characters. Inevitably, Kendall will make a big move before the end of the season and redeem himself. Roman gets played, Shiv isn’t being seriously considered by Logan, etc
