Not the best Succession imo, but
Kendall / Karl interaction backstage was mint.

Barry had a pretty crazy episode overall and a very WTF last 30 seconds

Not 100% sure this is true but funny either way because it sure sounds right âŚ
I never noticed until now, but at 2:22 the sound designer added the sound of âHoward Deanâs Infamous Yellâ that ended his chances of winning the 2004 election. What a strange easter egg.

Wait wait, the Howard Dean yell was in the actually released BB scene?

Holy shit holy shit it is. I just cued it up on Netflix.
I had to have seen that scene 10+ times and Iâve never caught that.

If youâre looking for something to watch while you eat lunch, Dead Ringers is a hard pass.
King of Collectibles is fun, though.
Thatâs amazing.
Wonder what other kinds of Easter eggs wonât become apparent until one or two million rewatches.
SuccessionIf Kendall wants to tank the deal, shouldnât he have used the nazi tweet stuff better? Say that itâs concerning since they are buying the company with 50% stock? Use it as an excuse to get out the deal?
Ken wants to blow up the deal without publicly blowing up the deal. Almost everyone else thinks the deal is good, so he has to be careful about how the deal falls apart. He wants to blow up the deal, but Kendall also wants to look like the right guy to run the company going forward. Being the visionary new CEO who caused the stock price to go up so much that the acquirer can no longer afford the company makes Ken look good. Being the guy who ruined a multi-billion dollar acquisition because he couldnât improv well at an investor day doesnât come off very well.

My favourite thing is atn (fox) knows they exist due to boomers so when they die the company is bust so their solution is old folks homes dedicated to making the boomers live longer. Just awesome.

Summary
i love how the other characters have to delicately explain to the brothers that they canât treat them the way logan treated them because itâs unearned. and nothing they have, nothing about their position is earned lol. the movie exec slipped and explicitly told roman heâs where he is because he earned it and itâs such an obvious lie to everyone that heâs forced to fire her on the spot. he was forced to! the gerri firing he MIGHT have to roll back at some point, but i was so glad to see kendal support him fully.
and then at the end for him to not return this kind of unconditional love to his brother and go along with his business fraud idea, that was so brutal. roman is getting big sad lately and iâm loving it.

I wonder how long it will take me to feel this strike. Last strike there wasnât really streaming and I watched some late night and a lot of network shows. Now I watch either. Plus I have a huge list of backlogged stuff to watch.
I might not even notice the strike unless it lasts an insane amount of time. I feel this is bad for the writers. There is so much content out there now that their leverage of striking is greatly reduced.
I have a lot in my queue as well. And studios probably tried to move up production on some shows a bit if they thought they could get them wrapped before a potential strike. It will probably end up being a very personal thing. If a specific show you love gets delayed/killed off youâll really notice it, but someone else who just consumes Criterion Channel content doesnât miss a beat.
There are still a few shows I watch week to week, so, for me, if the strike goes long enough to mess up the schedule. Iâll probably check a few times, realize there are no new episodes, eventually stop checking, and then maybe binge watch a bunch in a few years if a streamer randomly suggests the show to me.

This is a good point.
I just feel awful for all of the stuff in production that really canât afford to not have active writers.
Yâall remember what happened when there was a strike in the middle of Heroes season two??

The story goes that Aaron Paulâs character on Breaking Bad was destined to meet a grisly end in the ninth episode of the first season. But the 2007 WGA strike got in the way, cutting off production at seven episodes (six of an intended eight after the pilot). In the intervening time between seasons, Vince Gilligan changed his mind.
