I want Greg to take over. Heā€™s my favourite followed by Roman. I canā€™t bear Tom or Shiv.
 
Please please please can we put any spoilers for the final episode in a spoiler tag? I know some people will want to know but Iā€™d be so gutted if I saw it accidentally!

Greg isn't taking over. That is some Game of Throne bullshit. I have faith in Jesse Armstrong to not put us through that farce!

I was looking up on IMDB where I'd seen the guy who got wasabi in his eyes before (he's the Archbishop in The Great), and Alexander SkarsgƄrd's profile photo raised some questions.

Handily there's an explanation of sorts here, although "Zac Efron had taken his shirt off the year before and it was sexy, so I thought I'd take my trousers off" still leaves me with some questions :unsure:šŸ˜†

What an episode. Kieran was heartbreaking.

Also loved the ex-wives/girlfriends sitting front row. Marcia and Kerry holding hands made me weep!

But Greg is a bumbling buffoon!
he is - but he also always lands on his feet. i donā€™t think heā€™ll be CEO (heā€™s just too incompetent for that) but i absolutely think he will always be in the room.

i canā€™t see past tom tbh. or at least a tom v kendall deal in the end. the roy children are just all useless and self-destructive in different ways. tom would fit the narrative mencken wants and is spineless/obedient enough for maatson to work with him.

iā€™ve seen a few theories online that maatson struck the deal with tom before he gets to the wake, which is why heā€™s so all over the place and scatty. which is an interesting theory: to quote it in full:

I think that Maatson struck the deal with Tom right before Tom arrives at the wake. It is why he is so scattershot (on top of being exhausted and the craziness of the last few days)--almost as if he is in shock. The moment he turns, Maatson calls Shiv to let her know he thinks he can make a US CEO work. She thinks it is her, but it is Tom--and Tom already knows.


the cut to the coffin during romanā€™s speech was amazing too. like you could almost feel loganā€™s disapproval from beyond the grave when he started losing his place. ā€œis he in thereā€¦ā€¦ can we get him out?ā€ šŸ˜­
