[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are we supposed to assume that ATNs call on the election is the only one that matters? There are presumably other networks. This was a stumbling block for me last night. [/quote]

Same here. ATN wanted to put some wind under Mencken's wings for the upcoming reckoning about Milwaukee. But presumably we'll hear more about both Milwaukee and the other networks' calls next week.

I don't think Tom will get fired over the call. Look at what happened over at Fox last presidential election, and I wouldn't say ATN's management and owners are better than at Fox. Tom's reputation will take a hit though. They'll probably fire the numbers guy who didn't want to call it.[/quote]

Did you see the previews for next week?  Everyone is blaming Tom.

ATN called it for Mencken in exchange for him to act like he wants it to be fair and go through the courts.  So they will throw ATN under the bus.  [/quote]

What preview are you talking about? The one after the episode was all about the funeral. I don’t think Tom was even in the preview. [/quote]

Sorry, it was the last scene in the episode.  Greg says "your phone is red hot" and Tom is watching other networks say Tom was in the wrong.  [/quote]

I think Tom will be squarely thrown under the bus here. I don't think the show ends with us knowing Tom's fate at ATN, but likely knowing that Tom has been ousted from the Roy inner circle. The other possibility is that Tom more or less blackmails the Roys/Shiv to keep his spot. I think it's 50/50. I don't think we see much more in detail about the election because the outcome doesn't matter to any of them other than they have Mencken who will torpedo their deal.

I don't have a read on what happens at the end. This episode had several interesting turns as far as who might seize power at Waystar - Roman being ruthless and focused in a way we haven't really seen before. Greg betraying Shiv. Shiv floundering, totally out of her depth. Tom also floundering. Kendall mumbling like a big pile of mush while he tries to claw back a semblance of family life.

The preview for next week has Roman practicing a speech where he clearly intends to claim his father's legacy as his own.[/quote]
