Yeah, that hits different when you’ve been through sudden parent death. The thing that got me most was the disordered thinking - you just can’t get your bearings and think or talk straight. I’m on just starting S3 of BCS and enjoying it but unless it like, doubles in quality at least, Succession is on track to be Best Ever Show for me.

All the children are scurrying around with teary eyes and having weird hushed tone conversations. Gregg takes a call from Tom where he's told Logan is dead in front of a journalism major. Logan is nowhere to be seen. The plane is turning back. Billions of dollars are at stake. It wouldn't take a genius to figure out something was up, at least enough to start dipping the stock price.

(Assuming that none of the next six episodes top it.) Nthing the comments that this gets about as close as you can get to sudden death irl. When my paternal grandfather died, I have this very visceral memory of my dad just sitting on the stairs in quiet for a few minutes and not knowing what the gently caress I was going to do, because I'd never seen him like that before. Everyone did a fantastic job, but Strong/Snook/Culkin/Macfadyen absolutely knocked it out of the park and all showing different reactions to and ways of processing it.

That was a great shot. Not sure if this got posted yet, but they talk more about the episode here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HSm-4kCs3I4 Was interesting learning about the thoughts behind how they shot the long take and how they framed everything in a certain, voyeuristic way. What's with HBO and Episode 3 this year? Between this and The Last Of Us, i'm not sure which episode is gonna win the Emmy. Obviously HBO always goes hard, and the year is still pretty early. There are some good shows on the slate, but it's hard not to think either this episode or TLOU wins. Jesse Armstrong is 3 for 3 so far on winning, I kinda got give him the sweep. Winning the Emmy for writing for every single season of Succession would be justice.

The Emmys love awarding a final season of a major drama, so Succession should beat TLOU easily. Also not sure if their voters are going to feel that the zombie video game show is a step too lowbrow for them.

I don’t think The Last of Us is a real competitor at the Emmys despite it being very enjoyable. But this show will be up against The House of Dragons, which had some stellar knockout performances. Either way the acting awards are HBO’s to lose. Glad to somehow still be in this golden loving era of television.

God dam I love this show, god damnit i love it. Question: how the kids don't really hold any positions in the company anymore, right? How much does that matter? I know they still hold their shares so they have power on the board, and who knows where Logan's will go when he dies. Now we're gonna see a power struggle between that old guard that actually managed the functioning of the business, Karl, Frank and Gerri (I'm assuming her firing didn't actually...take place) and the kids, who "aren't serious people." Plus Tom, who's adrift, and who was always going to be adrift after his break up with Shiv. That was the ultimate pyrrhic victory for Tom, getting revenge on Shiv and reasserting himself, but he was only anyone to Logan because of his connection to Shiv. He is absolutely gonna make a play and get cut down. I hope we see Marcia this season. Her absence is really felt.

Plus they have the Roy last name and for some reason lasts name go a long way. They could potentially have enough to do whatever they want, so all of the old guard are gonna be posturing for position.

Glad to somehow still be in this golden loving era of television. I honestly could see Bella Ramsey winning best actress. Snook's nods in the past have been for best supporting actress, but given the direction of this season I could see her go for just best actress this time around. Pascal could get an acting nod (will for sure not win but a nod is a nod) and I could see Offerman get the guest actor nod, along with TLOU getting a best drama nod. Best chance of winning out of those would be Offerman I guess. To be honest I would be fine with Ramsey (which would be justice for how much hate she got when she was announced) , Snook, or D’Arcy winning. Going by pre-nomination predictions, I just don't think Moss deserves to win again (who I love but come on) or Lynskey (who I also love but her performance doesn't come to close to the 3 I mentioned winning).

When the episode started I noticed Jesse Armstrong credited as the writer and knew poo poo was going to go down but I assumed it would be standard Roy wedding drama not THAT I remember when I lost my wife the feeling in the pit of my stomach. I've only experienced that twice when watching dramatic depictions of death - this episode and "The Body." It was a great episode but so emotionally draining that I"m not sure I'll ever watch it again.

I'm not really sure what most of them can do. Of them, only Frank is on the board I think. Stewy and Sandy probably still wanna sell and are gonna go with whoever will do that. I imagine that now all the kids wanna take a shot at leading now that a spot is open, so it's probably pretty split down the middle on the board. It's like Frank, Stewy and Sandy vs Kendall, Shiv and Roman. There are some other members, like Ewan is still alive and on the board, right?

He hates Kendall for gutting Vaulter in Season 2. Sandy is represented by his daughter, who doesn't hate the Roys as viscerally as Sandy does and may be willing to take control of her barely-functional father's empire and chart her own course. She made the deal in Season 3 with Shiv for more board seats. The kids' mother, who already got paid off in an agreement with Logan to back the sale but maybe that's void now? Or it's already been executed and probably without a contract so she got hers and is free to get back in the kids' good graces because there is no Logan to punish her anymore.

They'll definitely submit that one for writing. Yeah this is correct. Writing, directing, other technical stuff as well as performances are all based on a single episode (with, I believe, the performers choosing which episode to submit for themselves) but the broader drama/comedy/miniseries categories are based on the whole body of work that aired within the eligibility period.

They'll definitely submit that one for writing. I've only seen the process on animated shows, but pretty sure the major categories all use an individual episode. The studios may submit actors (lead,guest, support) for different episodes than what was submitted for the main category/writing. Also it doesn't matter because the voters usually get like a whole season or the better part of one to watch for the shows really gunning for a win. Edit: yeah I don't know the rules for live action, but animated season of a TV series is judged off a single episode

just thinking this morning that if you die in a washroom without a tub/shower then almost everyone will assume you died making GBS threads, even if you’re a king or titan or whatever. logan’s beleaguered ticker likely expired while he was wringing piss out of his octogenarian dick but prevalent thread assumption is that he went out on and out of his rear end

Succession is a better show than HOTD, but the actor who played Viserys should win the Emmy for best actor in a drama. If they judge Emmys on a single episode, nothing is going to top that performance from episode 8 of HOTD.

Great article on how the Emmy acting noms might pan out: https://variety.com/2023/awards/awards/brian-cox-kieran-culkin-sarah-snook-succession-emmy-submissions-1235574006/ Wild that Cox could go for lead, supporting or even guest, based on his current screentime. A lot will obviously depend on how the rest of the season goes. I doubt there are any flashbacks coming up. Short of a coffin scene I think that’s it for Cox. Supporting Actor is probably the better fit based on screen time imo.
