I don't follow it at that level, but this wouldn't surprise me. She's a well-proportioned, what, 8-10? And has spectacular skin.


I'm a straight woman and I think she's smokin this season.

Nothing is going to break Logan. Actually think it will make the series more interesting if Kendall‘s dead. Also, they can have all the flashback scenes in the world.

That's the only shot of Kendall in the preview. I'm pretty sure he's dead.


I really hope they’re just trying to make us think that. Kendall is the only character who even wants to be a good person, besides Tom who actually is one. There would be such a gap without Kendall.


PP again. Also, the dinner scene seemed to foreshadow it. When Logan would not try the food, and Kendall asked “do you think I want you dead? I’ll be broken when you die.” Maybe Kendall’s suicide would be the thing to break Logan.

I agree. The clothes they put her in for last night's episode were so unflattering to her figure. I am not sure if that was in purpose or not.


Agree. She got married recently during Covid. Maybe she is pregnant.

A tyrannical withholding father, absent mother, and cold calculating siblings? Hmm, what could have messed him up?

Having gone to school wit some of the Murdoch kids, I’d say it’s spot on that they made the kids all so screwy.

First of all, the actress playing Shiv has always had hips and a round butt. There was quite a bit of talk about it during the first season, even. And she hasn’t gained that much weight, it’s just all concentrated in her hips. IRL, she’s probably quite normal, it’s just we’re used to scarecrow thin women on tv, and the camera does add pounds. Rich wives tend to be thin, but Shiv isn’t a “wife of,” she’s got her own power.

Finally, she’s wearing clothes that are quite form-fitting, so I don’t think the costumers are trying to hide her shape. To the contrary — I think they’re emphasizing the fact that Shiv feels very confident, perhaps even over-confident, which is one of the main flaws in the character. She was a good political PR person, but always overestimates her ability in the business world.


Agree. The costuming was intentional. Also her character was in a frumpy slump at the beginning of the episode, dialing it in, and by the end she'd decided to take over the world after her conversation with her mom gave her insight to her dad's character. She is pulled together again during the showdown with Gerri.

Most wealthy and powerful women have normal female bodies. PP is certainly stereotyping the wealthy. Actually, PP is probably thinking of the models often seen hanging around wealthy men, not the women actually related to them, and she's not likely thinking of most independently wealthy women at all. Likely doesn't know any IRL.

Kendall is one of my least favorite characters and I can’t believe that people root for him. He treats people horribly even when he is not using. If he does then there may be more focus on Rava and the kids who are more sympathetic characters.

No, he was pulling the pic from his photo stream and then sent it in response to the last text he received, not realizing his dad sent a “good job son” text after Gerri sent hers.

I really doubt he's dead, but the finale preview and synopsis were careful to give nothing away.

“Upon learning Matsson has his own vision for the future GoJo-Waystar relationship, Shiv and Roman team up to manage the potential fallout as Logan quietly considers his options. Later, the siblings’ “intervention” prompts Connor to remind them of his position in the family, while Greg continues his attempts to climb the dating ladder with a contessa.” – HBO synopsis.


Gonna throw out a wild card here, but what if Kendall is dead and his shares transfer to his children, but Rava represents them/is thrown into the mix?

I mean, why were we seeing Rava in the last episode? Why are we seeing their kids in this episode? Even though Rava and the kids could have been cut out of the storyline entirely they are still around. Might be an amazing finale as all the vultures are trying to "comfort" the kids and Rava swoops in and delivers a hell on wheels speech.


I think this is spot on. If you watch the preview of next weeks episode very carefully, there is a scene with Logan sitting on a bench in Italy with Iverson. With his arm around him. Yes, the grandchild he had taste his food in case it was poisoned.

I’m a woman and I think DCUM should be required reading for men who are married to women, for this reason.

My DH used to tell me I was being paranoid when I’d talk about the passive-aggressive negging and gossip of women I knew, and was bothered by it. But now that he’s read enough if DCUM, he knows I’m not just imagining this stuff. Women can be absolutely awful to each other.

I think Sarah Snook is and has always been gorgeous. My only criticism of her wardrobe in this episode is that her dresses need to be tailored better around her chest. It’s not a weight issue. A couple if things just looked ill fitting and I think a character with her means would be able to get someone to fix that easily. But I really only noticed it with the halter sundress she wore during the morning talk with Tom.

No the original text was from her. He just sent a pic so didn’t respond to her text and sent it to the wrong person
