[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What I didn't understand was Shiv's reaction when she realized Tom betrayed her. I expected her to be repulsed by him but instead she seemed to be intrigued.

Was there a hint of respect for him from her? She knows he helped Logan and will have some favor when the deal goes through. Is she hoping whatever good things come his way from Logan she will be able to parlay into an important spot?

Shiv also looked pregnant. She was shot from the side so many times and the dress made her look like she is already pregnant.[/quote]

In the “Controlling the Narrative” short at the end, the writer said they filmed it multiple times, until they got a shot where Shiv realizes Tom betrayed her, and then she pulls on her “armor” and reacts like a Roy. I do think she looks at Tom with a new respect, but at the same time is devastated. Her look at the very end after she walks across the room is brilliant acting.

Did anyone else catch the similarities with the shot through the doorway to the end of The Godfather?  [/quote]

Yes, Tom = Fredo![/quote]

There is a lot of Godfather imagery, but Tom doesn't resemble Fredo. Fredo was always portrayed as slow and incapable but Tom is portrayed as competent. Con is the Fredo character, at least right now. Connor during his "I'm the oldest son!" tirade while poking the table with a butter knife mirrored Fredo's outburst when confronted by Michael "I'm smart!".

Interesting that the adopted family member/consigliere in The Godfather was also named Tom. And, yes, Fredo was the hapless eldest brother. [/quote]
