So Yeah, I Thought It Would Be A Good Idea To Start Succession After It Had Ended And I Just Got Through
So yeah, I thought it would be a good idea to start Succession after it had ended and I just got through season 1. I have a few questions and a few observations.
Questions:
How much did that brain hemorrhage really affect Logan's personality? At the beginning of episode one we get to see how he interacts with people, but it wasn't enough time for me to get a good enough read on his personality before the brain bleed. I get that he's always been ruthless, but how much of that was turned up to 11? Through snippets of shared childhood memories, it seems that he's always kinda been this way. But has he?
What is up with Tom? He seems to really love Shiv, but when he's interacting with any other member of the family it seems like more than him just wanting to be accepted. It seems like he's trying to worm his way into the family and, by extention, the company. I get the aggression/relationship with Greg. He found someone in the family lower on the pecking order than he is. But is he a good guy? He wanted to release those documents to the public, but was that his good person conscious or was it just him thinking about what would be good for the company?
Lastly, what's going on with Roman's character? For the most part he's a very weasely person, going with the flow to see what can benefit him at any given time. But what's that about him being sent to military school as a child because he was the weakest of the siblings? Him asking that girl to marry him and her calling him out asking if he thinks that's how he can get people to stay? Him cowering behind stuff when his fathers mad, resulting in him backing out on Kendall? I don't know if I particularly like him, but he's definitely intriguing.
Maybe I'm just not very media literate, but I know complex characters when I see one and omg. I guess give me a Preschool show because my emotions can't handle it.
And as for observations, the only thing I have to say is that the acting is amazing, especially with Jeremy Strong and Kieran Culkin. Like I said, the way they sometimes cower when Logan's being extra dominant is soooo good.
Wish me luck going in to season 2!

Our RA's planned an activity where we make Vision boards. I was trying to show everything I'm currently about.
Oscar Awards and VHS' because I'm a film major.

Me saying and doing the stupidest shit imaginable just to get my friends attention.
Whenever I've had a rough day or I'm feeling a little low, I hum the M*A*S*H theme song to myself.
Then I curl myself up into a little ball because that almost always makes it worse.
I hate being an angry cryer. Do you know how much it sucks to get upset at something and immediately lose all ability to express yourself calmly and clearly (and therfore lose your credibility in the situation)?
On it boss 🫡
Btw If you've bought The Beekeeper's Picnic on Steam and enjoyed it, then leaving a review would be absolutely awesome and help more people to find the game!
Thank you so much to everyone who has left a review already!
Genuinely tweaking rn. I'm so close to going back to my campus without any incidents. I just need two more days. Please.
So sorry to keep going on about Doctor Who but I find it really interesting in the revival era (2005 onward) that it's always hammered home that the Doctor is the last of the Timelords. But it's almost never talked about that they are NOT the last of the Gallifreyan's.
Because we know that timelords are the high society dudes that went to college and are granted regenerations and all that. And yeah, when the Doc ended the Time War they destroyed all of Gallifrey, including all the regular people.
However, we seem to have forgotten the Sisterhood of Karn chilling on another planet.
They're basically the Gallifreyan equivalent to nuns and they protect the Sacred Flame and all that, but they're still around. The 12th Doctor even went to them looking for help during "The Magician's Apprentice", and they reappeared later that season in "Hell Bent."
So what I'm saying is even though Gallifrey was destroyed for the billionth time, we could have seen 13 go and hang out during the "Timeless Child" arc to try and recenter herself. Maybe 15 can go since he's so much more in tune with his past than previous incarnation.
