      He was likeable in the first two seasons, but has taken a turn for the worse since season 3.

        How have they not gotten Tom and Gerri together? Seems like a natural fit.

          All of the characters have ramped up the unlikability over the last few episodes. Only 3 episodes left.

            Roman would go bat shit if that happened.

              Yeah and it'd never work. Tom and Gerri would fight cats and mice.

                I'm running a week behind. Just watched E7 last night. That argument between Tom and Shiv on the balcony was one of the best married couple fights I've ever seen.

                  Shiv is so bad it almost makes you feel bad for Tom. He seemed to genuinely like her when they were dating and married. I can't understand why. He should've seen this coming before they were even married though.

                      I feel like they overplayed the democracy is gonna die and the world will fall apart angle. I've seen the same thing happen in the world I live in and we're still here. The world did not fall apart.

                      Ken doll is being a little too wishy washy for my taste. I don't see how Mattson is still in the catbird seat. It seems like those inflated numbers would do him in.

                      Feels like they've got a lot to cover to tie it up in the final 2 episodes.

                        Kendall has always been wishy-washy. He's pathetic. Jeremy Strong was interviewed on CBS Sunday Morning, and he said he's so happy he's finally done having to live the character.

                        Does anyone besides me think Willa is really hot in a quirky sort of way?

                        The actress, Justine Lupe, was really good in the Stephen King series Mr. Mercedes.

                          I suppose that's true. He seems more so lately though. Could just be me seeing it that way.

                            That is the whole theme of the series. Most of the characters, not only Kendall, are indecisive and unable to express themselves.

                            With the exception of Logan and Roman. And Roman is over the top.

                              Mencken's victory speech was wild. More really good acting by that guy.

                                  He also says, “the model I follow isn’t from the scorched marketplace, where cunning men haggle for the best price.”

                                  A little thinly veiled anti-semitism.

                                    Was that Mencken that said that?

                                      Yeah, during his victory speech.

                                        Well, as I said earlier in this thread, the leftist politics of the producers tends to show through. I suppose Mencken is intended to be Trump.

                                        However, if they wanted a character to spew anti-semetic rhetoric, they could've chosen someone else. If im not mistaken, Mencken is a jewish surname.

                                          Eh, maybe. I mean you’re probably right on the political views, but I think for effect they just went full blown Alt-right with this character.

                                          Also, I did read that Will Ferrell actually doesn’t have anything to do with the series other than his production company.

                                          Before the series started, he and Adam McKay had a falling out after McKay chose his other good friend, John C. Reilly to play Dr. Jerry Buss on Winning Time, instead of Ferrell who evidently really wanted the role. Supposedly Will Ferrell hasn’t spoken to him since.

                                                Just caught up with last night’s episode. Unbelievable acting. It has me feeling bad for characters that I shouldn’t feel bad for.

                                                  Shiv used the term "anarcho-capitalist" to describe Matsson.

                                                    In that same conversation, Mencken also called Shiv, “Kinder, kuche, kirche,” which I read was a German, Nazi term for “children, kitchen, church,” which described a woman’s place in Nazi Germany.

                                                    The dialogue might be the best thing about this show.

                                                      Every episode involves a large gathering of people - a wedding, a funeral, a business conference, etc.

                                                      We get to eaves drop on all the side-bar conversations, where no one ever finishes a sentence or says what they really want to say.

                                                        The real reason Roman started tearing up at Logan's funeral was because he finally realized the last real bit of meaningful communication he had with his dad was accidentally sending Logan a dick pic.

                                                            I never pictured Tom coming out on top. Logan has to be turning over in his grave over that one. Good jorb, Shiv.

                                                                I was thinking the exact same thing. Brilliant writing and acting but I’m exhausted from all of the backstabbing and selfishness.

One was adopted, and I guess the other one was supposed to be his, but Roman said that the kid was half Ken's ex, and half some filing cabinet guy. For some reason, I'd always assumed that both his kids were adopted.

                                                                                  Both when he kicks his feet up on the desk while saying crude shit during their last meeting with Stewy, and how cocky he acts during the vote. You can see see her cringing.

                                                                                  Also I don’t think she wants to be a single mom. I think her conversation with Tom on the phone at the beginning of the episode was foreshadowing looking back on it.

                                                                                    It also makes me think that’s why he took that low blow at Kendall’s kids. I think he just wanted out. That’s why he was originally hiding out with his mom.
