It’s like what Rhea said, Shiv’s not nearly as smart as she thinks she is. It was stupid of her to threaten Greg. Greg’s not scared of her. Nobody is scared of the kids. People fear Logan. Without him the children have no power of their own.

@red2977 6 месяцев назад

He is scared of her when she has power. The reason he crossed her was because he realized that she was being cut out and with her power gone she was no longer a threat to him. Shiv thinks she is slicker than she is. She is a terrible liar and the other characters often end up seeing thru her.

@LouSassol69er 6 месяцев назад

Shiv doesn't know how to read people. She should've thrown Greg a bone. He had a history of sneaking his way up the ladder with leverage. Intimidation wasn't going to work with him unless it was Logan.

@broncoscountryl3tsrid3 6 месяцев назад

Logan, Kendall, and Tom were all smart enough to know you have to pay Greg off for his loyalty. Shiv is an idiot and doesn’t understand that so instead opts to give him an empty threat. Had she paid him off, he wouldn’t have snitched.

@Spaced92 6 месяцев назад

The problem is she is smart. Greg isn't scared, but he's stupid, Shiv was always going to hang around the company and not be someone you'd want to cross either way, she had her eggs in both baskets. Remember when Greg tried to extort Logan? He got slapped down in a very similar way, you don't just ask for vague benefits, the only difference is Logan is one of the two people Greg would just listen to, the other being Tom. I don't think her blackmail of Greg was the misstep people think it is. If anything playing both sides got exposed in a fairly unrealistic way.

@UnlistedAgain 6 месяцев назад

@@Spaced92 You really don't think it would have been better to offer Greg, the person with leverage, at least something rather than just throwing around empty threats? Come on. Like Stewy said in season 2, these showy threats don't mean anything. It clearly wasn't going to work when she first threatened to kill him, and he responded by asking for an offer. And then Shiv (the supposed "smart" person in the room) still doesn't realize it and just repeats more threats.

@colepalmer3128 6 месяцев назад

By far Shiv's biggest mistake here is thinking that Greg can be scared into submission. In the early seasons, that may have worked, but from his perspective he is obviously much better siding with Kendall/Roman if Shiv isn't offering him anything but empty threats

@broncoscountryl3tsrid3 6 месяцев назад

Even early on that wouldn’t have worked. Greg was ratting out Tom to Gerri in like episode 4 lol. Greg is only loyal when people are paying him off, which Tom begins to do soon after.

"Well, I mean, it is kind of a nice idea, you know? All the different people, together." is such a Ken statement and such a pathetic half-hearted attempt to stick up for his kids and their future without actually making an attempt to push back on Rom, and it's also a basically correct summation of the civic/cultural nature of American citizenship vs. the blood & soil ideology of the regime he would be complicit in clearing a path for.

Shiv is so disappointing; She knows the consequences of that fascist gaining power but when push comes to shove, she puts her own petty power games first. At least Roman has the decency to admit he doesn't care if they start putting people in camps.

@red2977 6 месяцев назад

yes she engages in self deception where she convinces herself that she is making these choices for the good of the country when its all about her. If she was really concerned about the country she would have at least tried to call Nate to see if they would kill the deal for them. She didn't do that because then she wouldn't be able to be CEO and her lie is what caused Ken to realize she had betrayed them and he sided with Roman. I think there is a real chance that if Shiv had been honest and on Ken's side all along that he might have gone along with Shiv and done what is for the best of the country even if it cost him the company, but her betrayal was too much.

@DelusionalNYC 6 месяцев назад

@darrellhenry9152 6 месяцев назад

Both Shiv and Kendall showed their weaknesses this episode. Set aside what’s best for the country Logan IMO wouldn’t have back Mencken in Kendall’s position because he would have saw that Roman is close to him not himself. Also just because a news agency calls the election doesn’t mean it’s over especially if the other networks don’t call it. There’s going to be lawsuits and recounts and if you get it this wrong it destroys your credibility. Shiv screwed up with Greg trying to cosplay tough Logan. If you go back through the series every time Greg asked Logan for a deal in exchange for something Logan did a deal with him. Shiv instead offering him something when he has real leverage over her, thinks threatening him will be enough.

@@sorkaemThere were several moments in the show where they showed us that Shiv was never truly progressive. (Example: Offering hand sanitizer to her former candidate after simply shaking a “common man’s” hand on the street).

TOM Remember he was very mean to the compliment people and he was losing his mind due to the cocaine. I think he’s emotionally broken by Shiv, and the cocaine simply got him very upset about his situation as Greg, on top of that, kinda gloats about his, how he keeps finding girls, when what only Tom wants to do is find someone to talk to. He is a traditional guy. He “doesn’t wanna be a hippie.” Tom is not “soft” or “weak”because he has feelings. I think the exact opposite in fact. If Tom can describe his feelings to his friend Greg and be valued as a person, it perfectly explains why he feels that he can never confide to Shiv, his OWN wife. “I’m with you because I LOVE YOU” This was 4x7 btw on the outside of the house; “wanna clear the air”.

She really doesn't though She isn't some noble person. She is arguing for the other guy because it is good for her to get the deal to go through. The country is a secondary thought and more of a talking point for her. It is always Shiv first then the country. In the earlier seasons she has sided with her dad and right wingers over liberals who she had worked on the campaign with. All because she thought there would be more advantage to her for going with her dad so her protests. She is really no different than her brothers. She just pretends to care about the country, but just like with the other kids its her first. I almost think the one who cares the most is Ken. He was having difficulty with the decision for awhile and was considering not calling it even though that would totally screw over his own position.

yea them attacking Kendall like that seems a bit unfair. Both Shiv and Roman were acting completely out of self interest. In the end Ken was willing to be reasonable and listen (something his father likely would not have done), but because Shiv was betraying them he made the call to go the other way. Like was he really expected to give up his entire company and what he believed his father left to him to the guy who had run him into an early grave? And to find out that his own sister had been manipulating and lying to him to get the other guy the company and to cut Ken out? None of the characters are good people. They are all selfish and I don't think Ken was being stupid here. He made the only move that he could make in his interest he would lose the company if he went with the other guy. The company is all he really had because he had lost most of his family.

Mencken isn’t necessarily a representation of Trump, he’s too smart for that. He’s more like a representation of the growing sentiment of conservative white supremacist-authoritarian voices that blew up in American politics because Trump paved away to make their opinions more popular. Mencken is a fictional human version of that, and more sinister. American politics is very divisive now, the people who hate him do think he’s a fascist, but half the country still supports Trump which is crazy, so “average American” is hard to say, but the ones who hate him do think he’s a fascist (which I agree with, if only because he tried to steal the last election). It’s sad to me that Mexicans like Trump because Trump has zero care for people outside the US and not even care for the US people, he only cares about his reputation and his ego and himself.

She’s lying to her self not realizing she’s part of the problem and can’t escape it no matter how many empty platitudes she iterates.

@the_crypter 6 месяцев назад

Naah, she does care in a sense any person who is not a psycopath would. No one wants a facist as a leader. She isn't taking some high ground. It's pretty fucking easy to not like nazis.

@red2977 6 месяцев назад

yes a big part of it is self deception. She convinced herself she cares about the country but its not really true.

@shytguy 6 месяцев назад

@@red2977 yeah, she obviously wants things to go her way concerning mattson. Then when she’s played all her cards and loses,she tries to appeal to others by saying “but you’re hurting the country”. Total phony. Self interest comes way before the so called wellbeing of the country

Most contrived, worst-written episode in the series....typical liberal fear porn playing on all the delusional tropes. It was cringe moralizing about a fictional election from the perspective of an extremely liberal British writer (Jessie Armstrong) who know nothing about U.S. politics apart from the BBC, CNN, etc. I'm not saying this as a conservative but the heavy-handed, over-the-top subtext (this is about Trump, fascism, Nazis, etc.) was just so lazy and pathetic. It could have been done with more subtlety and less melodrama (as if the normally cold Shiv is suddenly a crying SJW...give me a break.) Of course Armstrong wants to comment on the 2016 election for which he's clearly obsessed, but there's more sophisticated ways of doing it and it felt totally disjointed from the other episodes. Ugh..pure cringe. This was like the last couple episodes of Game of Thrones when it dropped off...hopefully the final 2 are redeemable.

It is hard to take anyone seriously when every election is the end of the world, for realsies this time. It makes me lose respect for someone as a serious person.
