Also, why doesn’t Logan have an accent but his brother does?

Logan does have a Scottish accent. The actor who plays him is from Scotland. He sounds like someone who is from Scotland but has been in the US/Canada for decades. So his accent is spot on. The James Cromwell character has no accent, which is a misfire.

I find damaged men handsome, so yes.

It's "Gregory" now and he is one of my favorites on the show. He comes accross as so naive yet he is very strategic and smart.


Agree, Greg is one to watch.

Also, Roman is a blowhard but he hasn’t really done anything underhanded. I love his dynamic with Gerri.


But the actor playing Greg is 2 dimensional in his performances. Its not interesting and it won't likely evolve.


I disagree. He’s crafted a compelling character that continues to evolve. What’s two dimensional is Greg’s personality, which the actor had to create, and which is changing.

You're right, the actress is actually Israeli.

I can’t wait for Marcia’s backstory to come out. Logan’s too with those scars on his back.


What do we know about her? She's Iranian and speaks fluent French. She has a son. Did she get her two seats on the board when Logan dies? I must have missed that. They called her Marcy in the pilot and then Marcia. She's not a 10.

I'm attracted to his character because he's a billionaire and nice and relaxed and seems easy going.


I can't tell if you're being facetious but I'm going to respond assuming you're not: Are you nuts??? LOL!! He is the most high strung, anxious, effed-up sad sack of wasp traps!

He is not relaxed. He is a drug addict. And no, he has those strange slopey shoulders and a long neck. He reminds me of an aardvark.

It was only a moment but it showed me fraternal loyalty that I hadn't otherwise expected and real grit from Ken to shout at his dad in that moment.

It also revealed a back story of years of violent outbursts.

So for me in this moment they ALL became so much more human


Yes that stuck out to me as well. Kendall is very complex and damaged.

Yep,agree! I always have it in my mind after the episode ends and the day after. Yes, I’m obsessed!


There was a mention of the composer in either the Post or the Times. He uses an out of tune piano on purpose to get the effect.
