[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I liked the episode, especially the Shiv/Tom scenes, and how Kendall and Roman are in way over their heads.

But did anybody else find the finance part really shallow? It's like they were spitballing big finance words with no connected train of logic. In one sense that probably just shows how badly Kendall and Roman are in over their heads. But they weren't the only ones tossing around "big finance words" and part of me thinks it was lazy or ignorant writing.[/quote]

YES.  The ridiculous corporate jargon was appallingly bad - not sure if it was meant to be or not.  Jeremy Strong is an excellent actor.  Kendall is just so pathetically out of his depth (and Roman too).  However, they did manage to sell that Living+ concept successfully, so maybe they're doing something right?

I'm finding Shiv to be pretty repugnant in her treatment of Tom.  The way she speaks to him - ugh.  She seems to thrive on diminishing him any way she can.  [/quote]

We model our parents relationships even if we know they are wrong. It takes so much therapy to break out of it. What our parents [u]do[/u] matters more than anything else.[/quote]

+1 and all the kids are mimicking their dad a lot since his death. Roman's treatment of women and abuse of power, Kendall's dicy ethics regarding trashing his dad in the press and lying to investors, and Shiv's weird dynamic with Tom. I think the sudden death of Logan is triggering a bunch of regressive behaviors from all of them.[/quote]

Yes, totally agree. Roman listening to that clip of his dad making fun of him was so brutal.[/quote]
