    - Aren't Kendall and Roman still on the board? Or is the thought that Mattson will kick them off? Also, they get a boatload of money from the sale, no?
    - The one thing I noticed in that final boardroom scene that I haven't scene mentioned anywhere (on massage boards or recaps) was when Roman made that comment to Kendall about how his kids weren't legit cuz they were adopted. Or something. It was kinda chaotic so I wasn't 100% sure I heard that correctly. Did you guys hear that? What a horrible thing to say.

    I suppose I shouldn't be surprised it ended like that but I wanted a little bit more.
    The Bahamas.

    The sale may include their board seats. Yes, they're rich, feel bad for them.

    You heard right, one of Kendall and Rava's children is adopted and the other is Rava and a donor.

      That thing is that showrunners usually pick names deliberately.
      I assume that's the triple play. Honestly I wouldn't put anything into it. Succession is not the kind of show that stoops to those tricks, and it certainly would not signal its resolution in such an obvious way. It would, however, get its fans in a froth. This is like saying Roman's name is significant because Romulus killed Remus.

          Most likely the Roys are out. Mattson won't risk a coup. The original deal had them out (Hence then wanting to buy the competitor or stay their own company) so likely that is still in. They are selling out. Mattson wanted to destroy the Roys (according to Skarsgard) so he won't let them stick around.

          Yes Roman said that and damn was it awesome.

          They make billions on the sake but they lost any influence they had. Kendall literally lost his entire purpose.

          And I don't buy the name thing at all though it is interesting.

            I really liked Succession and I'm sad to see it go, but I'm glad they ended it before it got bad. I also thought the ending was great.

            One small annoyance however, and that was Kendall running after Shiv, out of the boardroom. The correct move there is to look at Frank and say, "6-6 is motion to sell fails. Let's move on with the agenda, shall we."
            That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.

              That part wasn't in the script. The scene is supposed to end when Kendall chokes Roman. The director let the scene play out cause he felt there was more in the tank.

                    What wasn't in the script? Roman taunting Kendall about his kids? Kendall reopening Roman's stitches?

                      The scene ends with Kendall choking Roman after Roman insults Kendalls kids. Everything after that was off the cuff including the boardroom.

                          I mean it came from the director and showrunner but it's possible I misread it. The rest didn't matter the deal is dead and the siblings are back to square one in their relationship. What came next doesn't even really fit.

                            I'm fine with it, and obviously I believe you, I'm just surprised they would mess with what is a carefully crafted and balanced scene / episode / show. As a rule, writers think of actors the way we think of clothes. They're very important in making an impression, they do a job, they're what everybody remembers... but we don't let them make decisions because... they're fabric.

                              Halfway through Ep 1 and one of the girls just said during a scene where they have very limited resources to choose from that she'll have to go commando. I'm in.
