[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m terribly naive but I hope the ending brings the siblings together, in the absence of their father who always tore them apart. I hope the ending includes them parting ways with both Logan and waystar, but being brought closer together as family. I have enjoyed seeing them get closer this season.

And I hope Shiv can get a fresh start with a family of her own. [/quote]

Where would that possibly come from? Their parents never modeled caring behavior. It would be a lie if the kids suddenly started that. [/quote]

DP.  I don't think that's true at all.  Look at Drew Barrymore, who had an incredibly dysfunctional and inappropriate childhood.  She is the very model of stability and nurturing motherhood.  I think that is often true with people like that who grow up and yearn for the family life they never had.  Doesn't always happen, but it certainly does sometimes.

That said, I seriously doubt this will be the way Succession ends up!  Dysfunctional all the way, baby.[/quote]

Abusive families come in all types of flavors. You can have a parent love you, show you love, teach you to love but still be abusive.  Love was not a characteristic of the Roy family. Logan destroyed every single living thing around him at one time or another. The injuries that he inflicted upon everyone in his circle are well documented. The kid's moms even were more concerned with $ than with their kids. The Roy kids were never loved.

Their best relationships are with one another and I think we are going to see those go to heck in the upcoming shows. Is Kendall's #1 drawn in the sand an indicator that he intends to take over ignoring the plan he Roman and Shiv agreed to? They've kicked Shiv to the curb, this is part of her sadness, and she is aligning herself with Mattson. We're seeing the cracks in their relationship now. They've grown up knowing that they can't trust one another.[/quote]
Ooh this reminds me of something else I’m not clear about - what is Shiv’s position in the company right now? Kendall and Roman are co-CEOs but I haven’t been sure she even has one.[/quote]

I don't think she has an official role either. And it's occurred to me that if something really bad happens with Waystar in terms of liability exposure, this means Shiv is in the clear while Kendall and Roman (and Geri and Frank and Karl) would all be implicated.

I don't necessarily think that's where it's going, but Shiv's lack of an official role has occurred to me and I think it could be considered an advantage in some ways.[/quote]
