[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]When Shiv took their picture, the boys didn’t look happy. Does this reveal to Mattson they were truly trying to kill the deal? [/quote]

After the debacle on the mountaintop Mattson knew that a) the siblings are not all on the same page; and b) Roman, at least does not want to sell, and Kendall is just a mess. Both Roman and Kendall are operating from a place of emotion. So he's screwing them over because he's kind of a psycho. Mattson knows that Roman and Kendall will find this sale a hollow victory, but that they won't have a choice but to take the deal.

[b]I think what tanks this deal is that ATN is now a defacto comms shop for the Republican nominee for president. That's a variable that Mattson didn't know and doesn't understand. There will be a lot of pressure to hold ATN back from the deal in the end.[/b] [/quote]

Definitely agree that there is some kind of controversy brewing over ATN. For me it hinges on whether Matsson really doesn't understand what ATN is or how it fits into Waystar, or if he does but is pretending not to as a negotiating tactic. I honestly think it could go either way. On the one hand, he is foreign and his advisors are foreign and they truly might not understand that ATN's value is not really as a media property in the same way the movie studio is, for instance. But on the other hand, he had agreed to carve it out and is suddenly demanding it be included, and while he's foreign, he also seems to be good at reading people and understanding their motivations. So I think it could go either way, but that ATN, the presidential election, and the deal are all going to collide somehow when the season hits its apex.

We also know from season trailers that we are getting interaction with the leading Republic candidate (name is escaping me at the moment) soon, maybe at the funeral. Plus they've been teasing a Syd firing and maybe something with Tom at ATN for several episodes now. [/quote]
