NP just spitballing here but probably the smug attitude exhibited in the previous post. That PP would probably scold people for admiring Robin Hood, the dirty rotten thief. |
Karl: I mean could it, might it just go away? I mean it might get lost. I hope it doesn’t, but what if your hand goes a little wobbly, and a draft takes it away, and it gets flushed down a toilet by mistake? I’m kidding, of course.
Frank: Oh, sure. You’re speculating in a comic mode. Karl: In a humorous vein. We’re not gonna let that little princess screw things up, right, Frank? Gerri’s gonna block me. I want out. I want my f*ckin’ package. I am halfway in on a Greek island with my brother in law. Gerri: Say, what’s up, boys? Sounds like they’re talking about Gerri. |
Gerri is hardly a princess. It was Shiv. |
Wut |
That doesn't make sense, though. Why would they refer to her, and not Kendall or Roman? Why single her out? |
Did anyone else notice Jamie Chung as Connor's wedding planner? I remember when she was on Real World, I think San Diego. |
I did not! She did look familiar. Thanks for pointing that out. I think she was recently on a cake or fake show on Netflix with her husband. |
Yes. This. Obviously. It's so weird the things people want to harp on. |
Good point. Is there any moral compass type person on the show? Gerri? |
Uuuuh, rooting for the Roy family is not akin to rooting for Robin Hood (well Ewan might be kind of, but notice he only intends to give his money to Greenpeace after he dies). It actually does sound to me like your moral compass is broken here. Might be why you were so triggered by the prior comments. |
No! Gerri is in it for herself too. That's the whole point of the show. Many peopel on the show can display kindness in micro. The kids are sometimes kind and supportive of each other. Shiv was appropriately grossed out by the neo-Nazi vibe at that Republican conference they went to last year. Roman has recently expressed empathy for Connor and for Kerry. Kendall sometimes seems to care about his ex-wife and kids. Gerri seems to care for Roman. Frank seems to genuinely care for Kendall. Tom seems to care for Shiv and Shiv seems to sometimes appreciate Tom. And so one. But at the end of the day, they are all out for themselves. Why? High school English, folks -- power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Logan was 100% corrupted by his money and power, and whoever succeeds him faces the same fate. Sure, they are human and show signs of humanity. But if that's what they valued, they'd simply take the money they already have and go live a very wonderful life somewhere else. Everyone still fighting for the Big Prize is corrupted. |

Because she royally messed things up prior. And she was a major beatch to everyone when she got a taste of power. She wasn't business smart. |
I did and I felt bad for her. She was barely more than an extra, although paid more I think because she had lines. She was in Hangover and some other things after RW, wasn’t she? |
I was mystified when I watched this, and still not at all clear! |
