He is the best character this season I think. Better even than Cousin Greg, though I did like Cousin Greg's line of questioning about how you could sue a relative, say a grandpa, but in a loving way.


I didn't watch the first season but I did just see Tom at some award show and he has like model good looks. They really downplay how hot he is and make him look and act dorky on the show. Also note how Ken called him out on how calculating he is, he could have just as easily conned Shiv into marrying him than vice versa. It sounds like a business arrangement marriage more than anything -- especially since it's "open". Tom got to marrying into power, Shiv got to appear like some stable mature wife to her dad?

I've been on the "this season is boring" bandwagon but I saw this week's episode last night - and I'll be darned, it was good! Tom and Shiv were both really compelling - Roman's character is taking an interesting turn. And 11/10 I would watch the movie Dr. Honk. I think the kid has some talents we haven't plumbed yet.

Logan's new romance is pretty gross.

Tom is my favorite character too. The actor is really phenomenal. Greg is hit or miss with me lately, am getting tired of the relentless "uh uh uh..."

Shiv, having been controlled for so much of her life, needs a partner she can fully control(?) I like the glimmerings of his being less of a doormat, and hope we see more of that.

Yes I was surprised. He always seemed like the one with a modicum of a conscience.



Apparently his willingness to play the game is what prompted Logan to remark "he's maturing." Hoping this amoral decision will prompt Shiv (&Tom) to go back over to Kendall.



I think someone will cross over to Kendall, not sure if it will be Shiv, Tom, or Shiv&Tom. Tom knows he can't trust Shiv, why he wants to impregnate her to keep her tethered to him. No-one in her family cares one whit for him, so his display of loyalty is really a waste. I think it would be very entertaining for him to be the one who does this. Shiv, tired of being insulted and dismissed, and horrified by the alliance with 'young Trump," could cross over too. I think Connor is also a possibility. An idiot but a pissed-off idiot now. And Greg is a wild card, could see Tom persuading him to go along as well.


I think this is a great summary of what is going on. Greg is Tom's puppet, he will go wherever he is told to go. Tom tells Greg to jump and he says How High? It will be interesting to see if Kendall gets anything on Waystar. I am surprised that Shiv and Roman are totally OK with Logan sending Kendall to prison for something he had no part in. Logan is the worst.

The point is that there’s a certain seductiveness each character has, and a viewer can get sucked into that. Just like the kids do with Logan. There’s a push-pull among the characters that’s an interesting experience for the viewer. There’s also sympathy that gets generated because of the abuse and trauma each character suffers, until you remember what horrible people they all are.

Last night was boring. I laughed once I think. I am tired of watching them run the business. I want more family drama and watching the lives of the rich. Although no more PJs might kill that. Next week is Ken's birthday party. Might be good.

Anyone got thoughts about Tom switching sides? Logan is completely willing to throw him under the bus and he doesn't seem comfortable with that anymore, since Shiv won't give him a baby or sex.

Connor should just go back to NM. His character is utterly useless.
