Y'know, half of the problems with season 2 are just the show hard pivoting in genre without the needed setup. They go hard drama in the first 2 episodes, awkwardly straddle dramedy in 3-4, go back to straight comedy in 5-7 (thus ignoring/erasing the serious trauma set up in episodes 1-4), and then all of a sudden straight fucking realistic drama for Izzy's speech to ricky/Izzy's death, and then back to comedy for the wedding. The tone whiplash is insane, especially for thirty minute episodes. I cannot get over the fact that this season was only FOUR HOURS LONG and yet the pacing was like this, only making the tonal problems more obvious.

stede probably thinks that the hand thing him and ed did was what handies are

When Ed said "what can I do, Captain, to restore my reputation?" While wearing a fucking cat collar I could literally fucking see dozens upon dozens of fanfic authors opening Google docs to start typing. There's no fucking way they didn't know what they were doing there LMAO

their fight sped up is like videos of ants brawling

[roman-roy-monkey]

Real talk though. I actually thought the tomgreg bathroom fight scene was going to turn into a kiss for a hot second.

I never expected on-screen tomgreg to happen, but for a brief moment they had me going.

Oh there is something so deeply and horrendously ironic about the fact that Shiv couldn’t be CEO. She couldn’t inherit her father’s kingdom. Her husband had to. The only way she can have it is by being a wife and a mother. Because that’s the only way a woman can have any power in the world her father created.

I'm genuinely grieving. I know succession had to end, but it's still impossible to stomach.
