[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I 100% thought that the death was a huge hoax by Logan - that he was testing his kids to see how they would react to his death and what they would say to him in those last minutes.  I fully expected him to walk into the boat and make some awful, disparaging remarks to them, after humiliating them.  Glad that didn’t happen - that would have just been too cruel.

I was especially moved by both Kendall and Tom in this episode.  Tom was so kind to Shiv.

The dialogue is getting weaker and weaker - so many f*cks peppering the conversation.  It’s beyond old and strikes me as lazy.  [/quote]

I found Tom fascinating in this episode because I think he genuinely felt for Shiv in that moment, but I also think his kindness was at least 30% him realizing that with Logan dead, Shiv is his only real lifeline. Without her, he’s all the way out.

And I love how there were thematic parallels between that situation and Connor/Willa, with Connor straight up asking Willa if she was just in it fir the money and her getting very honest that the money is absolutely a big part of it for her.

I think the dialogue was very f**k heavy in this episode because everyone was in shock and didn’t know what to say, and people get kind of dumb in that situation. It’s realistic— people don’t give eloquent speeches in this situation. They can’t really process their feelings fast enough.[/quote]

PP here and I agree with 99% of your post.  But the f*ck issue is in every.single.episode.  It's almost as if they're told to ad lib and they use constant profanity as a crutch while they think of what to say.  Either that or the writers are incredibly lazy.[/quote]

What if the writers aren’t lazy but the kids just aren’t that smart and they can’t think of what to say?  Shiv, Roman, Tom, Greg are all pretty inarticulate and sub curse words for original thoughts.  I think it’s very intentional that the writers use curse words instead of anything else.[/quote]

There are some hilarious dirty insults.  Incredibly witty and fast paced.

I have run in some highly intellectual, extremely wealthy circles and it’s an art form.

[b]Dolts on dcum get their panties in a twist and mistake it for being classless.[/b]  It couldn’t be further from the reality.

And I loved VEEP with Selena and Dan and Amy’s profanity Abe hilarious cut downs.

Well, it can be both classless and common to the upper classes at the same time. Let's not confuse money with taste, sensitivity, or manners.[/quote]
