The white dress from the finale, it was distracting because her stomach stuck out as much as her arse did





it had to be intentional because it was two episodes in a row where she was dressed awfully.

Then you have connor's GF looking like a tasteful smoke show.

Logan does love his kids


No. A loving parent wouldn’t play the psycho head games he plays. He gave them every assurance they would take over the Company and then never gave them the tools they needed to succeed. He then blames them for not being prepared and insults them by saying “Go earn your own money. frick off.” He demands their loyalty but doesn’t want to return it.

This episode parallels brilliantly how Boomers are treating their kids. Many of them are spending all of their investments leaving Xers and Millenials no inheritance despite the fact that their parents did the opposite. It also symbolizes how many of the wealthy are selling their Companies to foreign investors leaving the next generation at the mercy of foreigners who have no loyalty or interest in the well being of said future generations.

Interesting take...

Great finale. Weakest of the 3 seasons.

There was a Brian Cox interview and he was talking when he was considering taking the role of Logan he asked the writers, does or doesn’t Logan love his kids and the writers told him, yes Logan does love his kids as fricked up as he is.
That's interesting as they haven't given us much to show this.

If you accept this take on the series then you have to accept the children as spoiled little kids that think they deserve the company for being born.

You might be painting with a broad brush there. It's never wise to lump an entire generation in a single assessment.

I think Logan does love the kids and thinks the way to do best by them is to put them in adverse circumstances so they'll have to struggle a bit and develop their own toughness like what he has.

Also, the actress playing Shiv better watch her diet in the off season. She got more than a little Crisco in the can there.

I know everybody loves Shiv's arse but she's just straight fat now. Even those window curtain eyelids of hers looked like they were getting hard to hold up

Tom did talk about getting her pregnant a lot this season, the foreshadowing is there.

my guess is they have whatever shares that have been in their trusts and on paper a super majority thru their mother's will. They are still fabulously wealthy but will be on the outside looking in on the company.


Like Tom Benson and his Granddaughter Rita. Rita still walked with a mountain of cash but out of the organization. She probably felt like the kids standing there.

Tom: So where do I fit it?
Shiv: We'll find a spot for you.
Tom: K

Then Tom pulls out the flamethrower

How does one give them those tools? I'm sure he sent them to some of the best private schools possible, paid for their higher education at a prestigious school, and gave them roles in the company. What else was he supposed to give them ? At what point is it up to them to EARN their success and not look to daddy to bail them out or GIVE IT to them.

IMO he loves the idea of a non-fricked up version of his kids that he’s never going to get.

Logan tries to give them opportunities to "earn it" but inevitability knee caps them every single time for one reason or another.

His kids are frick ups for sure and he cleans up their messes. They are spoiled rotten and entitled. But they are rarely if ever given a genuine chance to show that they can take the reigns. Whenever his kids are inches away from the finish line on an accomplishment, logan always takes the wheel back and either cuts them out or just kills the deal.

Shiv negotiated their way out of a hostile takeover while logan was on another planet and logan loses it on her when he comes back to earth.
