Above all else keep Jeremy Strong in your thoughts and prayers tonight
Dwight in the last 2 seasons of the office was so hot
I think it's going to be Connor's season to shine. All his siblings are out of Daddy's good books, waystar and logen are making money movies and restructuring the trust, man's is getting married. I feel like Conner has had enough of his siblings messing things up (the rebel alliance) and is going to get his promised bag as his rightful place as the oldest son.
Teaser trailer fuck yeah let’s look at costumes!
Everybody’s favourite reprehensible people show is ready to tease us, let’s see what we can glean from the attire, shall we? The resolution is Twitter shitty, and I’ve pumped up the chroma so we can see colour themes on the blurry pile of screen caps, but let’s go anyway!
First: Team Logan. He’s still in the blue and blue squares we’ve come to recognise as being his attire of loyalty signalling. Hope you choke on your cheesecake, Logan! The Egg and the Egg Sucker got dressed together over FaceTime. Note the entire room of core yes men and women cloaked in blue, and Gerri is wearing PANTS, which is such a radical departure for her I worry for her mental health. But she’s also rocking a punk for her triple ear piercing (J Smith Cameron’s IRL ear piercing), and I’ve decided to imagine Roman talked her into that at some point. Kerry in a blue suit version of her Italy pink suit says, “Who’s got the supermax pussy grip now, Marcia? I’m bringing Business Pussy. His favourite.” I am vomiting up my lunch. That purple circle is possibly Laird! Bring back Laird! Logan also addresses his blue and grey company drones, with a beige assist from Cyd Peach.
Now let’s deal with Team Progeny:
ALERT! Roman’s wearing his Probably Fucked Gerri In An Alternate Universe YACHT SHIRT. But also a little piece of flair on his right wrist. What does it mean Miley Screaming dot gif?! I wish I could see his pants. Roman’s always been blue too, but the fact he’s holding on to his blue status despite being booted from the Waystar nest? He’s still bootleg Logan, and still connected in his heart and mind. Gerri in blue, Roman in blue. Can you feel the YEARNING? Connor in blue, no surprises there. Shiv still dragging her beige behind her from season 3, only she’s added some Kendall signature brown to indicate her emotional landscape is fucked. Kendall is still skulking in Earth tones, pretending he’s in touch with planet earth. They’re in LA and Shiv is happy about it. That pink room in (presumably) some LA house! That pink karaoke bar! Just when you thought Roman’s undershirts couldn’t get sluttier than Italy, somebody put this one on a really hot wash and now it’s so tight we have no choice but to jerk off suffer. Is he feeling constricted, or sexy? Why not both? Undershirt plus business pants including belt is basically Roman’s pyjamas, so his moody hot beverage on a balcony enjoyment tracks with that. Roman, you’d better be on the phone to Gerri (10-20% chance he is) and I’d love it if that bracelet was somehow meaningful in a wanting Gerri to love you way, but I’m not holding my breath. But your long distance couples costuming has been noted!
Bets on which song Connor makes them sing at karaoke? And how much peer pressure will it take to make Roman join in? If it’s We Are The Champions I will catapult myself into the sun. I have a feeling Gerri might be living some season 1 plot deja vu.
Bonus: Excited for Norway!
This shit is still happening people, and all of the sudden its disappeared from my dash almost entirely over night
You know Macumba? Voodoo. Granddad was a priest in Trinidad. Used to tell us, "When there's no more room in hell, the dead will walk the Earth."

Kendall also seems to be the only sibling who hasn't spent much time living outside of new York as an adult (except spending 6 months in Shanghai for waystar, but I think that was to prove to his dad he can still do the work after rehab) I think his dad maybe dangled the carrot of the future CEO in front of his face for so long and kept him close for most of his life. They way that Logan goes about Kendall's addiction both from the little we get about his past and how he takes the relapse throughout the seasons; in the back of my mind I think that logen didn't really have too much of a problem with the drugs as long as Kendall wasn't dead or embarassing the company (either from not being able to work or a very public part lifestyle). Other than that aslong as he did what logen wanted him to do, it wasn't a big deal. I mean logen pulled Kendall out of rehab after less than a day in s2e1 because he needed him to appear on TV.
There's also been a lot spoken of logens possessiveness, both of the company be built and the people around him. Kendall for the longest time being his most likely heir to his empire; he kept him close and under his thumb protecting and maturing what could be his biggest investment. I also think logen battled with the letting go of his other baby, waystar to someone who definitely hasn't work as hard as him. Handing other the empire he built from the ground up to some rich kid who was handed everything. In season 1, I saw him fight tooth and nail to keep waystar under his full control even if it meant burning Kendall and once he did then he went back and got his 'kendall'.
Ugh ugh ugh Logan's way of always sending Roman off somewhere to keep him occupied, like St Andrews or LA or management training or the deal with Eduard where he got held hostage and so on, while he keeps Kendall up in a tower with only him for company, and I'm imagining them as kids with Roman intruding on their "special moments" together and Logan being like, "do you mind? Fuck off."
I am sick and tired of the society in which rape culture is promoted.
