Listen carefully and you can hear Emmys dusting themselves off. For Tom. For Roman. For Shiv and Shiv’s ponytail. I prefer my Kendall a bit less sober and a little less pretending to be happy. I like perilously-close-to-the-edge Kendall, Italian-wedding-meltdown Kendall, plunging-a-car-into-a-lake-and-killing-waitstaff Kendall. This might be the Queen merch the mercury phoenix trust shirt Apart from…,I will love this only time I’ve actively rooted for a relapse, but this will be Kendall’s season, I’m certain. His road to redemption has been hard-earned. A lot of people are saying this was a perfect episode of TV, and who am I to argue? Well, okay…I do feel like there would have already been a media strategy in place for Logan’s death, especially considering how many nearly-deads he’s accumulated since season one. Surely Waystar Royco has an Operation London Bridge scheme à la Queen Lilibet? What is the broadcast-media conglomerate if not an organization skilled in the tactical rolling out of news? This is my only gripe about the episode, apart from them not bothering to get Connor to say his own last rites (yikes). I know Connor’s an anomaly brother, but these four people grew up in the same house with the same dad and they were all on the same boat.Succession isn’t Succession without sassy acerbic quips. It isn’t Succession without subtext, without betrayal, without tenuous and endlessly questioned allyship. Machiavellian machinations, the way power eats your ethics, and the hideously amorphous edge between being a businessperson and a real person are what’s kept us all rubbernecking the Roy family. But the immediate aftermath of Logan’s death was desolate; game faces were slow to reappear. Every time I thought I’d get incisive strategy, the characters were still just reeling, aware of stakes but paralyzed, computing, reshuffling. Kendall foreground, Brooklyn Bridge background, was when I actually started blubbering. The pressure of it all was too much.
Though we fell back into some corporate sniping and strategizing—shout-out to Chuckles the Queen merch the mercury phoenix trust shirt Apart from…,I will love this clown—there was a palpable sense of loss, a reverberating echo of nothingness, a Logan hole. The show orbits around this man, and we watched each of his moons lose their gravitational anchor, spiraling—even if only momentarily—into a ludicrously capacious void. Watching each one find a new star, while also trying to be a new star, will be a macabre delight, the stealth wealthettes scattered and scheming, chess-gaming their way toward the now empty throne. At this stage of the series, the entire kingdom is to play for and the stakes are higher than Logan’s private jet. (Does that immediately go to Marcia?) A clusterfuck of heirs and spares are about to double down on their power grabs. With the status quo shattered, everybody is a broken Greg and we’ve no idea who ends up in the Tomelette. I’ll be putting my feet up with a large slice of loony cake to watch his kids consciously de-estranging. I urge you to grab a fork.
