#this show fucking loves putting roger in the frame of jeremiah's portrait when it's the most clear that he's an inadequate inheritor;#of the collins family legacy. he's a lethal joke of a patriarch. and it's a banger of a shot every time.#if i had a nickel every time someone had to bodily threaten roger collins into doing the right thing i'd have two nickels; etc.#christ. what a fucking arc.

#sighs dreamily.#➤ roger collins. ┊ I and my ghosts want a drink.#the way that burke lives up to the image of jeremiah and roger does not. the modern day self-made fortune. the adventure; the industry.#roger is nothing! he's rotting and it doesn't matter how far or fast he runs from it.#it's his enemy – the man he sent to prison in his place; the man he humiliated; railroaded – who is adequate successor #(and by image i do mean image. not jeremiah the real person; but Jeremiah. the man who built this place. jeremiah and his ships;#the picture on the wall; the legacy preserved in oil)#it's burke's portrait that merits hanging over the mantle in jeremiah's place; not roger's. the prospect of *that* is never even raised.
