[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ugh, tonights episode was really hard to watch. Not really even any surprises, just one miserable turn of events after another. Thoughts:

[b]- Willa is the only character I genuinely like, and Connor saying that there was only one person in that room who genuinely believes in/cares about (can't remember which) him, and he was going to listen to her? One of the smartest things anyone has ever said on the show.[/b]

- I don't think Shiv and Tom can come back from that and now very curious to see what happens with the pregnancy.

- Roman is scaring me right now so the idea of him giving the eulogy is, uh, bad.

- I hate that Kendall started to seem kind of smart by the end of the episode again. I'm not rooting for Matsson, who also sucks, but if he stumbles into some huge win (Wayco acquiring Gojo) despite himself, I'm going to be so annoyed. So now I think this is probably what happens.

- Go Gerri! She can join Willa on the "not total trash" team. I like that she put Romans balls in a vise and started turning the crank. Perfect.[/quote]

I was so pissed at Roman for insulting Willa in front of Connor and had major respect for Connor's character for his reaction. Roman sucks, Kendall sucks for being such a loser father and douche of an ex-husband, and Shiv is such a jerk to Tom (who sucks in his own way too).[/quote]

That's kind of the point of this show. The mega billionaire didn't have it all. He was powerful enough to destroy businesses but he did the same to every human around him. The recurrent theme of the show is "look how damaged these people are." It's been said many times before and Tom said it straight to Shiv. They are all broken to such an extent they can't be unbroken. Not a single one of them has a healthy relationship. They were never loved. They were always objects to be manipulated and that is how they relate to everyone. Matteson is the same.

Shiv had her world rocked in this episode. Matteson is revealing himself to be as bad, maybe worse, than her immature screwed up brothers. He is playing her and maybe she is getting an inkling of that. She's supposed to be the most capable of the kids but look at how she is selling out her siblings with Matteson and she's so easy to manipulate that Matteson doesn't even have to lie and promise her a job. She needed Tom and she nuked that to hell with her casual disdain for him.

Is the point of this show to get the masses to see that there is little reason to envy these people? Is it for us to realize how these broken people get to decide who we vote for?[/quote]
