She clearly has less scenes, but with all the clear indications that Greg is the audience surrogate, I believe this extends also, to some extent, to Willa. She was supposed to be a temporary character originally, but it sort of evolved that way.

One thing I think about is Tom’s conversation with Willa at Thanksgiving, I think. He talks down to Willa much like he talks down to Greg in the pilot—paraphrased, “is [your relationship with Connor] more of a financial arrangement?” But Tom is more vicious to Willa openly, whereas with Tom and Greg in the pilot there was at least the veneer of “boys-will-be-boys” razzing.

They are both Roy outsiders brought in by a patron, of sorts. Tom and Greg’

I read the community guidelines and hope this isn’t too broad, or if this sub mainly focuses on English linguistics. Askhistorians had a rule (which they removed a while ago and possibly reinstated) to not have questions that have multiple answers and examples, but I didn’t see this rule for this sub and I agreed with askhistorians removing the rule. I am also not in college anymore so this isn’t homework help.

The reason I chose mythological is because I realized it’s quite a complex concept. I feel like I understand it, as a native English speaker, but I could imagine paragraphs and paragraphs going into its meaning, and it may be hard for people learning English to understand. However,

For the fourth and fifth options feel free to comment your idea or not. We don’t actually know the content of the episode, which probably would inform the title if I were to guess (Too Much Birthday was picked after the script was written up I believe). But this is just for fun. Let a million flowers bloom.

Edit: also there’s been people posting placeholder titles to the sub. Turns out, neither the first or second episode is titled “Listen Lady.” So I don’t think “If He Had A Hundred Years” is confirmed, even though that’s a good guess imo.

I’m so impatient for s4 that I just want to talk about the show so this may sound like a stretch or just a very minor thing.

But one thing I always think about on rewatch is Kendall’s relationship with Ketamine. Very obviously, cocaine is his main drug (or “drug of choice”), but he’ll take almost anything like lots of addicts. Still, I think he has a particular affinity for stimulants. He initially relapses with a double Smirnoff rocks, but mixing stimulants and alcohol is very common for addicts, and alcohol can have stimulant properties in the short-term. He then uses meth for the first time and proceeds to mix it with opiates and many other drugs.

If you don’t know, ketamine is what is

Since I’m getting into “pet peeve” territory I want to start by saying that this sub is fantastic overall. By far the sources of succession analysis that annoy me most are at other places, like podcasts, YouTube comments, twitter, etc.. One thing that has annoyed me surrounding this show (and this is partially due to it being out for a short time, so less obvious interpretations haven’t grown mainstream in the community) is taking characters’ words at face value in a show that’s about habitual liars and people who aren’t honest with themselves.

The big example for this is Logan saying he wants his kids to be “killers.” I’m cheating on this one since my interpretation is partially confirmed

Listen, I don’t think actual “realism” is a huge goal of the show. One example of a highly unrealistic scene that I love is when the cops interrogate people at a pizza parlor to find out who trashed AJ’s school’s pool. It’s basically all written to maximize comedy, and it’s hilarious and works.

So some of my few issues with the Gloria Trillo storyline are less that they’re unrealistic, but that they’re unrealistic in a way to spoon-feed one of the points of her story: that Tony is attracted to, in some senses, a younger version of his mother.

The first time I noticed Gloria’s “bottomless pit” psyche is when she suggests to Tony that they’d be lucky to be pan

This has nothing to do with her clear viciousness and blaming of Shiv, though I thought the scene in Chiantishire between mother and daughter was as good, and as harrowing, as the father son scene between Kendall and Logan. I’m also of the camp that the fake smoking was intentional, though why exactly I don’t know.

I think I am stealing this from a podcast, but making Caroline British is absolutely genius. One thing that the writer’s room of Veep (which has more than a little overlap with Succession’s room) had a problem with was Britishisms seeping into the script and making it into the final cut. For example, one character makes fun of another by implying they’re going to get married, sa

I was browsing r/NathanForYou and r/TheRehearsal and realized that I would like a community to talk about similar shows. This is early days on the sub, but I’ll list some aspects of this “genre” that I’ve noticed (though none are essential except maybe the first), and feel free to add more:

• Cringe comedy in a documentary format
• Often people who are quirky or odd are featured in the show, showing a wide range of interesting people
• There may be dishonestly surrounding the circumstances under which people are participating in the show.
• Often has a host or hosts that are good at drawing our comedic scenarios and sometimes play a character

And here are some shows that I think qualify

I’m just curious about the differences, since reviews I found of the Restored Edition mainly just reviewed the book generally and were like classic retrospectives. I did learn that the central politician in Restored is named Willie Talos, Warren’s original choice, instead of Willie Stark. However this below comment from this article scared me a bit about this trend:

*”The new "All the King's Men" is the latest in a string of so-called "restored" novels: new editions of classic books that are something like the "director's cuts" released by filmmakers. A rest
