Living+ and That Gleam in Kendall's eye
Succession 4x6. Why does almost every new episode this season end with me feeling both sick to my stomach and buzzed to all hell? My hands are still trembling.
I have so much to say!
About Kendall and Roman watching their dead father insult them on videos played on loop whether real or edited, Shiv finally confronting her brothers like I always wanted her to instead of bottling up her hurt over their betrayal, the cheapening of the siblings' hug as everything "real" becomes repackaged as a negotiating tactic, ...
... Roman's spiralling grief and insecurity manifesting as he pushes people away and carelessly fires any woman who appears to question him and his place as Logan's son, Gerri noticing something off and giving him a reality check only for him to turn on her so viciously, ...
... the rekindling of Tom and Shiv's unconventional romance when they play "bitey", tease one another and she lets him in with Matsson, Tom's greatest strength being his honesty and his ability to show vulnerability in admitting that the money does matter to him but also calling her out in the process, ...
... Ken's event-planning fact-fudging number-cooking night of chaos and Hollywood mania, his businessbro techspeak jargon at an all-time high, Karl confronting him and trying to straighten him out with a dose of reality, only for Kendall in his Maverick-from-Top-Gun-inspired flight jacket to brush him off, unphased, ...
But I just have to talk about IT.
The gleam in Kendall's eyes.
Kendall's presentation was somehow more harrowing, more painful, more ridiculous and just all-round worse than L to the OG.
The sincerity with which he lays himself bare before the world — "big shoes, big big shoes, big big shoes" big nervous breakdown — the palpable second-hand embarrassment from watching him try to talk to an edited deepfaked video of his father to gain some kind of closure after death — the sickening nature of enterprises like Living+ which take advantage of people's fear of their own mortality and prey on the elderly — the horrifying realization that creeps up on you as you realize while watching this play out, that Ken is exploiting and commodifying his grief and confusion over his father's death, his vulnerability and fragility here functioning as manipulation, as a marketing tactic, whether he knows it or not — all as the world watching him (incredibly) applauds his stark raving mad proposal because nothing is ever sacred to these people.
It's the funniest and worst thing all at once.
And somehow — and this really says something about the state of the world — when these cringe billionaires hopped up on their own hype, hallucinations and delusions of grandeur, especially the ones in tech, make outlandish promises even a child would know better than to take seriously, the world feeds their egos, cheers their cults of personality and allows them to get away with anything because they're not insane! They're just eccentric visionaries, maybe even geniuses. It's genuinely frightening.
Hey, but at the very least, when Number 1 Boy walks into the ocean, an image that had my heart leap into my throat and fill with foreboding, he's floating up with his head facing the sky.
(When this new high inevitably fades, he will definitely sink, and I can't bear to watch it.)
And yeah, of course Lukas Matsson tweets disgusting Holocaust "jokes". Fuck him.
Oh, and was I the only one who thought I might have been watching behind-the-scenes footage or a special feature by accident when the episode first came on with Logan Roy against a green screen? I really though it was just Brian Cox for a second there and thought HBO had fucked up!

that scene of kendall, in the wake of his perceived victory, finally conquering water after drowning that kid in s1 and nearly drowning himself in s3. head above water. but there's still no certainty and permanence--the waves are constantly trying to pull him under. insane

Okay but here’s the thing, Roman telling Gerri that she doesn’t respect him is just. such transparent bullshit. She was the ONLY one who had enough respect for him in S2&3 to invest in him, commit to helping him, ask him to ���stick with me, Roman,” etc. Roman’s honest and true raison d’être is to be needed and the fact that she showed him genuine attention and affirmation and even affection was filling part of that emptiness that was left again and again by Logan, by the siblings, by Caroline, by any “normal” relationship he’s had with anyone else. And she offered him so many warnings and lifelines, especially in S3, and now he’s punishing her for the Ordeal of Being Known by her. There is So Much I can say about that breakup scene, but Gerri saying, “you’re not your father,” is both the worst thing he could possibly hear and also a positive thing about Roman as a character. He’s not Logan and Gerri was shaping him into a different kind of leader. Not better, necessarily, in the context of the overarching [waves hands] corporate capitalism or whatever, but effective and shrewd and less mercurial than his father. “I work for waystar, not Logan Roy” — she SAID it ages ago. The Old Guard has been part of Waystar likely for more than half of the company’s existence and now these kids are grief spiraling and trying to Become their dad and burning it all down and for what? Gerri’s quiet “I am good at my job.” is, at this point, the only thing she knows For Sure in this current situation. She is good at her job. She has survived for ~30 years in this place because she is Good at her Job. Roman has benefitted directly from her Being Good at Her Job and he’s throwing back everything she taught him back in her face. Gerri respected Roman and he knew that, but couldn’t handle being Seen and can’t forgive her for that.

But it was alright, everything was alright, the struggle was finished. He had won the victory over himself. He loved big brother.
