I realize there's a lot going on right now but are we going to discuss the uh. The "well-connected" euphemism bit? Because hooo that made my blood run cold for real

omfg pls pls do a TL s3 rewrite/au you could do it a million times better and actually keep the characters true to themselves rather than make them sitcom-victims

I am ITCHING to.... there are so many half baked ideas for S3 rewrites floating around in my head. I actually like so many of the elements the show introduced, I just hate where they went with it.

I yearn for those glorious moments in 3.01 & 3.02 where it looked like the show was actually going in the direction of giving Roy some self-doubt around his coaching career, how he felt like he had to step up in Nate's absence and would be lacking. How he's clearly someone who had a massively successful career out of doing the most of his innate talent and blatantly sucks at being a beginner at anything and will outright refuse to do things he can't do perfectly. Alas, for most of the season, we got Roy being a punchline :(

ZAVA oh my god. They could have done. SO many things with Zava. The team's reaction to Zava. Jamie's reaction to Zava. ROY'S reaction to Zava was criminally understated.

Keeley's whole office plotline. I actually really liked how they introduced Shandy, because she provided a very clear contrast to how Keeley's life used to be pre-series vs how she's now AND she genuinely had good insight! While being terrible at other parts of the job! It could have been a great tool to explore themes of classism, Keeley coming into her own in a supervision role, giving us a glimpse of WHAT Keeley's life is like separately from whatever ongoing relationship she's in. (I have so many thoughts about how she apparently cut down heavily on her social life once she started hanging out with Rebecca / living with Roy.) I also have so many thoughts about how Keeley's career change must have looked like FOR HER; the show in 2x12 frames it as "leaving Richmond", but there's so much involved in a decision of making such a drastic career change! Her life completely changed in a year and a half! Keeley Keeley KEELEY. (I think about her a normal amount)

Trent and Ted. Trent and Roy. Trent and Colin.

Nate's arc could have been about him struggling with the man-management side of the job. We also saw in S2 that he resented Ted getting credit for when his tactics saved the day, and Roy told him it was part of the job description — the boss takes the praise but also takes the heat when things go badly! I would've loved to see Nate dealing with that side of the job as well.

I would remove the sex tape leaks plotline altogether. If anyone has his sex tape leaked it should be a grainy VHS of Roy on holiday circa 2003. And give Keeley the chance to step up and do her JOB in a cool way in different circumstances.

... and like five other different things. S3 gives me brainworms in the way "shoddily written piece of canon with SO much potential" always gives me brainworms

SUCCESSION (2018-)

This Is Not For Tears (2.10) Mass In Time Of War (3.02)

[pynkhues]

hi!! i love your succession meta/discussions and I just rewatched 3.02 where all four Roy siblings talk about what was happening with the migrants/dancers/cruise ships etc. and how Connor and Kendall wholly admitted to knowing, but Roman and Shiv didn’t … or didn’t actually know. I’m so interested in seeing more of these kinds of things in s4, like warped versions of their experiences, completely different perspectives depending on the sibling. Also, in 3.08 Caroline corrects Shiv that she was 13 when Caroline and Logan divorced, and not 10 like Shiv says… like these details are super intriguing to me! i hope to see more of their childhoods unpacked (especially Connor)! take care by the way!! <3

Hi! Thank you so much, anon! This was a really lovely ask to get. <3

I totally agree about being fascinated by the distinctions the show makes and what that means in terms of memory, ignorance, accountability and complicity, and luckily for both of us, I think the show is too, haha. It circles around a lot - in the examples you gave, but also in Kendall, Roman and Connor's different understanding of the dog pound game, Roman repurposing memories of Connor to use for Logan and in - - well. Pretty much everything in the fallout of Shiv's wedding.

Hell, even in today's episode, memory is weaponised twice over - first with Logan choosing to use the past against Greg ("Where's your old man, huh? Still sucking cock at the county fair?") when Greg tries to use the present against Logan ("Where are your kids?") and then, in a much more complicated scene, with Tom and Shiv at the end of the episode, where Tom wanted to talk about the past while Shiv couldn't allow herself that vulnerability.

If we're the sum of the things we've done, what does that mean when we and the people we love have done terrible things? When do these things become memory, and what power do we have to re-write our stories? How can we protect ourselves from what we've done, and others from what we've done to them? How do we hold them accountable for what they've done to us? Who does a truth belong to? And why is it that sometimes it can heal, as it does for Kendall in 3.09, cut, as it's done to Shiv and Tom now, and lock us down, as it's done to many of the people on the periphery of the Roy's lives?

It's complicated! And man, am I just glad this show is back.

Succession’s insane foreshadowing

3.02 - Logan sends the kids donuts and they hesitate thinking it’s poison. Conor says “you think he would send poisoned donuts to the house of his grandchildren?”

3.08 - Logan is having dinner with Kendall and to make sure the food isn’t poisoned, he feeds it to his grandson.
