[quote=Anonymous]This past week, as I thought about the finale, I realized that none of the kids could be the Successor. They were all too fundamentally flawed & incompetent. Shiv was right. Kendall would have been a disaster. It had to be Tom or someone else. The podcast is interesting, as Jeremy Strong says that Frank had said, when he walked back into the boardroom, “You don’t have it. You never had it.” (This wasn’t in the Final Cut) and that’s when Kendall realizes that the idea that he could be CEO was always a fantasy.

Having worked in the corporate and political worlds, I have to say their technical advisors have (mostly) done a great job. The whole counting votes, meeting and aftermath rang very true (in the compressed context of a 90 minute episode).  I loved Frank and Karl discussing staying on and cutting Tom’s throat. That is so real (the old guard resenting & undercutting the younger phenom that’s risen above them). And I loved that Tom knew it.

Another interesting thing in the podcast is Jeremy Strong saying they filmed an ending with Kendall climbing over the fence to jump and being stopped by Colin. They went with the even more ambiguous ending, but it was fascinating how they still made it clear that Kendall may be suicidal, but Colin is watching over him. [/quote]
