[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here's what I think the arc will be for the end of the season and show.

All of the kids will fight one another for power and control.  They will not return to their Pierce media empire as a united front.  By the end of the show all the kids will have betrayed one another, except maybe Willa's husband who is cray but may have achieved some weird growth through his dad's death.  We saw it already as Kendall and Roman didn't include Shiv in making decisions about the PR strategy, and then with Kendall contradicting Roman's decision.  Also with Roman willing to betray Jerri and Kendall willing to use the executive's daughter's insider training against him.

If any of the kids wind up in charge, they will end up with all bridges to their siblings burned, totally and completely alone.  Maybe Kendall will die from the strain/stress and Roman will be in charge, or vice versa.  Someone will be victorious but the cost will make it extremely hollow, and in this way they will have become their father:  someone who wins but who can only have transactional personal relationships.

[b]Unless Greg winds up in charge, which would also be completely hilarious.[/quote][/b]

I’ve heard this theory a lot, and it would really disappoint me. Just makes a mockery of the whole show.[/quote]

And Greg himself has become a mockery lately. He has always been a butt kisser but his comments and tone when Kerry was getting her things felt out of place and too obvious. It is fun when he interacts with Tom but I don’t like the character otherwise. [/quote]

I think the caricature is the point. He's a buffoon and it's all "regulated" by the tight control Logan had over all the chaos. Logan dying is like the Soviet Union crumbling--the chaos is now going to bubble up and be unleashed. Greg is searching for his new role, and has a limited toolbox to use to create it (trying the family card on the 3 siblings, etc. was cringeworthy, and obviously they saw through it). Tom, on the other hand, is trying his best to be "nice," including asking Shiv to be nice to him, genuinely (it seemed) trying to help the kids say goodbye, etc., and sucking up to the executives. It hurts more because he's smarter and slyer and no one's buying what he's selling....[/quote]

Tom constantly saying, "I'm here to serve."  What a suck-up!   :lol:
