The truth is..... that Toto Wolff is a malignant presence, a bully and a liar

[hyperfocusthusly]

I mean you put a guy who has done maybe literally nothing *except* plot your murder, out there to be like murder me instead and in a shocking turn of events, he tried to murder you

"But in that moment when he says, “No real person involved” so flippantly, I perceive something in him that I don’t think I’ve seen before, which is an abyss. There’s something irredeemably evil about that." - Jeremy Strong (x)/2x10/4x10

Jesus Christ. Gerri slipping by saying “First-Second born son” to pan over to Connor. And how Roman speaks up about how it’s crazy to do that that Kendall.

I already know how this episode ends cause I remember passing through when my parents watched it but like why send Greg with him to make sure he does it/doesn’t kill himself.

Unless Kendall asked for him specifically.

so. i'm through with the s2 and am almost out of internet data, got 2 days till renewal and 4gb left so... meanwhile, i have time to ponder about and process what I've just seen, yay! :D

well, what can i say?

fucking finally, wambsgans- the second-hand humiliation was starting to get unbearable, at some point i really just wanted to hug the guy whenever shiv was in the picture...

fucking finally, kendall- i've been waiting for his killer move ever since the unsuccessful vote and he eventually got a peace of mind and strength to make it... and make it a better way. logan's final smirk is everything- it's a challenge and it's pride because yes, all his children (minus connor who was interested in politics from a very young age... sorry, i had to...) want that throne and think they are fit for it but only kendall really went through all stages of it, surrender included, and came out not totally broken and understood what his father wanted to tell him, what he wanted from him, and kendall delivered- and what he did is so much more impactful than what he had originally plotted behind his father's back; this is a direct upfront spit in logan's face and i have a strong feeling he appreciates. he need to pick a successor after all, and he needs a killer one.

and oh greg the motherfucking egg- what a thrilling character in the making, he has a lot going on behind those doe eyes and stutter, and it is purely intuitive, because it is not like one can learn much scheming bringing tom his lattes, the man doesn't have than much of a brain, i think, which is why he leans into shiv so hard... anyhow, cousin greg has come a long way from vomiting out of mascot eyeholes to "insurance" leverage, blackmailing, backing up kendall's revolt...

also, it is probably just his natural ramblings, but my first thought when i saw his hearing was he actually carried out what hugo was trying to say to tom by "eat eat eat those dangerous fucking minutes" and tom did nothing of sort, but damn, greg, in those fragments we got to hear, got the filibustering covered... (what wouldn't i give to see all of it but oh well.)

so, yeah. there is just so much i would like to rant about, but my brain is melted at this point. i'll be back^^

[stewyhosseini-bf]

thinking about 2x10 in terms of the tomshiv and kenstewy parallels and feeling slightly insane. there's something there with both of those relationships, about sacrificing the relationship in the name of saving the other person. how shiv seemingly throws tom under the bus in the breakfast scene ('to save you I can't be seen to be acting in self-interest') - but she does look out for him in the end, and chooses to save him even above her own brother. but the damage is done, and the way their relationship develops afterwards is very much affected by this moment. and then stewy denying the deal, at least in part because it includes ken losing his board seat (this is only hinted at in the scene but you can definitely tell there's some nonverbal communication happening between them when logan mentions the board seat and Arian later confirmed in an interview that this was how he played the scene. plus, they do want the deal. they seem eager for it at the shareholder's meeting, which is only like two weeks later? and the fact that stewy even agrees to meet them and seems optimistic about logan's proposal to get the deal done and eat some octopi, AND the deal being objectively pretty good for them makes it seem likely that the board seat thing is why he ultimately says no right away without even consulting the Sandys, as Logan points out) thinking he's looking out for him but obviously not knowing that he's actually dooming him, as a deal would've been the last chance at saving Ken from being the sacrifice.
