pre-grieving the fact that tonight is the last night the Succession cast is gonna be in the same room until Vulture decides to do some anniversary panel in 10 years ... truly the end of an era!
okay I can’t really tell if the succession girlies are liking these weekly reaction posts but this episode was another fucking doozy! so let’s get into it!
SUCCESSION 4.04 THOUGHTS
greg got off to a rocky start with a few awkward fails but hey, in the end he finally found someone to successfully cling onto that bred good results in a way! tom’s cringefail bf has skill! (sort of)
I have to say my absolute favourite part of this episode was, in fact, the glimpse we got into the tomshiv lore and their beginnings. matthew and sarah truly acted their asses off with that, the way shiv couldn’t handle the physical touch from him because it makes her feel fragile when all she’s ever wanted was to be tough, and him recognizing that but still staying there with her and trying to break through with words
THEY MET IN FRANCE??? HE WROTE HANDWRITTEN LETTERS??? “I LIKE IT ALL”??? oh that is sickeningggg like the writers have really managed to add such a beautiful and soft and romantic layer to tomshiv in the final quarter of the game! they’ve flipped the switch and made me actually kind of love tomshiv!!
rip to the tomgreg girlies tho lol we’re losing bad
kenstewy hug had me blushing n shit, plus the way stewy backed ken up? okay boyfriends!
speaking of kendall… ohhhhh man. I have so many feelings about the turn he’s taken in this episode. it’s so gutwrenching to watch as ken realizes he will never know if his name was underlined or crossed off. those feelings merit a separate post though. coming soon ;)
oh and y’all. SHIV IS PREGNANT????
holy fuck do I ever feel bad for her in this episod btw. I get that she doesn’t have as much experience but ugh, my heart. not only did she get screwed over by her siblings but then having to see tom there, managing this pregnancy on her own, and then tripping over her heels when trying to regain her hardass persona??? it’s like she’s being blocked by a symbol of her womanness and her gender is being thrust in her face practically. it was just. so hard to watch.
romangerri girlies how are feeling tn watching things stiffen between them. because OUCH.
that being said, I cannot even begin to describe the PRIDE that was swelling in my heart watching roman helping kerry pick up her things and see her out, and calling out marcia for being cold and discompassionate too!! think about where he started in season 1 promising that kid a million dollars if he hit a homerun and getting a kick out of watching that kid’s disappointment, just such dickheadedness and immaturity, to where he is now, trying to be a more caring person, refusing to talk shit about logan in the press, helping someone when they’re in distress and being publicly humiliated because he knows how that feels, just— UGH. THAT’S MY BOY RIGHT THERE. I AM A ROMAN GIRLIE TIL THE DAY I DIE.
