Ty21 Posted May 28, 2023 Author Share Posted May 28, 2023 Gonna be a weird post. Your mind does a weird thing when you think you’re gonna die. I currently don’t think I’m dying although it’s in the cards for the next 5 years based on lung transplant success rates. But when I thought I was dying in the fall, one of my biggest concerns is I wouldn’t see how this show ended up. I had the same concern before the Game of thrones and the new Star Wars trilogy endings, although I kinda wish I had died before those. But the show ends now in about 7 hours and it’s very bittersweet. I am an HBO fanboy and Succession is one of the many HBO shows I’ve watched from the same day the first episode released and it’s been maybe the most satisfying to watch. So many years of being worried the limited fanbase would get the show cancelled before it saw the end. But they got to make it how they saw fit and got it all the way to the end. I’m both excited for the finale here and remiss that it’ll be over. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ty21 Posted May 29, 2023 Author Share Posted May 29, 2023 Spoiler The show was a highlight reel of why the kids shouldn’t get it. Tom being the guy makes it feel like it stays in the family and makes a rewatch change your focus. Tom’s biggest thing was money, power, and success and he got it in the end. Good, good ending. I thought every water scene was foreshadowing a Kendall death. Finally a good ending for a great show. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ty21 Posted May 29, 2023 Author Share Posted May 29, 2023 The Mattson puppet article was a little ironic because he used Shiv the entire time and then took on Tom as CEO because he could use him as a puppet too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was right there in front of me the whole time, right idea but wrong name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ty21 Posted May 29, 2023 Author Share Posted May 29, 2023 For all the things that might’ve been predictable, the power shift in Tom-Shiv’s dynamic was dramatic. He’s cold to her now and she’s kinda stuck with him. He is Waystar more than she is now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squanchy Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 Incredible What a way to play upon on the theories yet still subvert expectations in a certain way where the outcome seemed inevitable in hindsight. I can’t remember being this satisfied on a series ender. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
