Kendall or Roman for sure commit suicide.

My predictions:

1. Kendall drowns himself like we saw foreshadowings of before when he realizes that the company will go to Mattson, and he is exposed as having a hand in killing the cater-waiter.
2. Roman is carted away to go to a mental hospital, tended by Geri, Frank, etc. Think "Catcher in the Rye."
3. Shiv and Tom decide to strike out on their own to form some other screwed-up company with their new heir/kid.
4. Greg goes back to working as a costumed idiot at the theme park. It was fun while it lasted, Greg.

Agree, this is what I said above as well. It’s a new generation but nothing changes. 90 minutes is long but it’s not long enough to bring in new characters etc etc.

This is the point of the show. Logan raised the kids and messed them all up. Built an empire but sacrificed love. They will now do the same thing.

I’m team Disgusting Brothers. I think Tom and Greg will team up with the Swede and the siblings completely destroyed.

Mattson will wind up with all. He has the president's support and will hire Geri as his "American" CEO and perhaps keep on the corporate team. He will not hire someone like Shiv who so easily backstabs her partners and family into a position of power into something he has built. He has been playing Shiv this whole time and she is so self-centered she has taken the bait and fed him intel on every move.

The kids wish to run things but they have never ever put the time into building anything - they play act at running the company.

Kendall will have to choose between his kids and the company/power.

The unknown - who is the "princess" named in the document the execs found in Logans desk after he died? Wondering if this will play in somewhere...Shiv, Kerry, Marcia?

It has been quite a drama - amazing acting and writing throughout - Bravo and looking forward to see what actually happens!

OMG, this has already been established. Karl was referring to Geri as the "princess." Right before he says that, he says, "If Geri is going to block me, I want out." He didn't/doesn't want her in charge.

You’re correct. It IS boring. Very little happens. If you were to remove the wealth from the plot, it would be unwatchable. This show appeals to vapid people who are easily impressed by money and visual effects. The plot isn’t interesting and the characters lack any depth. There are some funny remarks by the characters at times, but that is it.

I wish I’d stopped when I did. Season one when an entire episode is about a helicopter ride is silly. Oh wow a helicopter!!! These people are so loaded….check out that helicopter!! Look at this rich family play baseball! How entertaining! BORING.

DP. Wow, have you missed a lot of nuance.

I absolutely hate the verbal tic that all of the siblings seem to have - asking a question and then ending it with "yeah?" UGGGHHHHHHHHH.

I think Logan will come back to life, fire all his kids, and take over! Greg will get Kendall’s role and Kerry will get Tom’s role. Tom will start a rival news agency.

Probably co-CEO with Kerry.

It makes sense. This show is about a dying breed. You have some 60+ old white guys still in charge. But they aren't getting replaced by other old white guys and family members. They are getting replaced my young tech people with tons of new money. This show has been true to current times and they'll end on that note.

Just wildly speculating, but I wonder if another player will come in from the wings and create chaos - like Pierce. Or Ewan.

It would be kind of fitting if Kendall, who's following more and more in his father's footsteps, ends up on the outs and with no family and friends after doing exactly what his dad would have done.

Given Logan's age and medical issues throughout the series, wouldn't the board and stockholders, particularly stockholder activists, have insisted on it?

I think one of the over-arching messages of this show is that hubris leads to destruction. If Logan and his acolytes had been responsible stewards of the corporation, they would have put ego aside and accepted that Logan wouldn't be around forever and would have undertaken the uncomfortable task of planning next steps in the event of his demise. But by appeasing his ego, the corporation now is left in uncertainty and is at the whim of some really self-serving and diabolical players. Seems like a cautionary tale for not hoarding short term personal benefit at the expense of the greater good.

As I recall, the official plan was for Gerri to be CEO, but that was always assumed to be subject to a Logan making up his mind about which of his children might be able to fill the role. There would be no show if there was a well established plan, but I do think you’re partially right about the cost of hubris being the point of the show, along with the idea that Logan was successful *because* he was a brilliant malignant narcissist, and none of his children can fill his shoes (even though they all share his narcissism to varying degrees).

And the family controls most of the board. How many times have we seen that play out?

As far as stockholders - there never seems to be any lack of magical thinking when people are making money hand over fist.

You know who’s boring? The boring posters who come on this thread to talk about how boring the show is. Please show your boring selves out!

Maybe Marcia’s son takes over?
