Remember when Meadow told Tony she did meth and he was like I’m glad we can have open lines of communication meanwhile he was debating whether he should start hitting AJ in therapy
@rosedommu
Peter Pan being the dad of Rumplestillskin who is playing the role of the beast and the crocodile to Hook who he was briefly sharing a girlfriend with while being the grandpa of Henry…they don’t make them like they used to
Obviously there’s more to it than this but AJ reflected all Tony’s weaknesses whereas Meadow made him believe he was both a good father and good man but Tony wouldn’t have liked any son because they were inherently a threat (see chrissy) whereas Meadow was easy to love
HBO’s Casey Bloys says a ‘SUCCESSION’ spin-off is “highly unlikely” but is ultimately up to creator and showrunner Jesse Armstrong.
“If Jesse changed his mind and came to us and said, ‘I have the best idea, this is what I want to do,’ then we would have that conversation.”
@mizphantasm
Exactly AJ was Tony’s true self which he couldn’t stand to see reflected back to himself it made him feel like a common thug whereas Meadow could delude him into thinking something good had come from the mob and from him
@ronaldotrancoso
Also how even though no one IS Truman our lives have become more panopticon-esque where we could be filmed at any moment without our consent
#IndustryHBO
Eric dressed as Henry VIII is so beautiful, like a man who constantly betrayed his partners, a man who exiled his firstborn daughter who he had previously trotted out as a precious jewel mmhmm mmhmm
@mizphantasm
His hang up on Meadow being a doctor and especially a pediatrician is so interesting like it’s the furthest thing he can think of from his mob world and includes his idea of innocents- babies and animals and when that falls through (which was it ever a plan) he’s heartbroken

@siyyaniverse
She takes in a pregnant Quinn and we never get to see what that looked like?! Or have them have a lasting relationship from it??
The way they both weaponize their love as a cover to protect their own selfish interests rather than express it from a place of vulnerability so that neither one of them believes the other when they say it and can only wonder what they want…Logan Roy when I get my hands on you
Actually this is a lie because the same traits their fathers admire in them as daughters they would despise in sons. In their I am king mindsets any son becomes a threat to their “throne”
A quiet performance but I love how Luca is able to get such physicality out of his actors, every movement is thought out. How Taylor Russell captures a child, addict, and predator in her body in scenes where she has little dialogue is masterful
@diandrasdiandra
He would have been torturing them with the possibility of her being his if the timelines matched up even a little bit but instead she’s the only thing in their lives he’s had no part of so to him nonexistent
Just like where’s the fanfic where are the Wattpad stories how are we going to get the next red white and royal blue if you people aren’t putting in the work
Shiv and Kendall sticking to the same consistent choices throughout the series over and over again and never learning what the other one will choose because they can only think of their wants first
And yet the best limited series of the year was The Sympathizer, if this was a just world it would be sweeping these categories and they’d already be carving Hoa Xuande’s name onto his Emmy

@fooltowantyou
Literally when Eric asked Robert if he was ever going to call a client my eyes bugged out of my head like has he just been sitting there?!
@princekendalll
Definitely feel like shiv was the only one who really took Kendall’s addiction seriously and tried to help him through rehab. Her face when he relapses at Austerlitz, looking to her dad for help, to feel the gravity of the situation, but instead he attacks the two of them
@KosokoJackson
Cabaret is supposed to be unsettling but it’s super important for the Emcee to seduce the audience in this number so by the time you’re getting to when he’s spewing fascist ideology you’re disgusted that you allowed yourself to be so distracted and amused by him
@swholdren
Like we’ve had legends like Joel grey and Alan Cummings in the role who didn’t have to be so over the top trying to convey that something’s not right here feeling because they trusted their skills and the audience- we’re not new to this the performance is just meh to bad
While you’re here, donate an eSIM to people in Palestine, they’re $4 and are a tangible way to help Palestinians suffering in this genocide, look at
@Mirna_elhelbawi
page for more instructions
We are witnessing the LOWEST flow of eSIM donations ever since October. I know this has been too much on all of us, but please let's not give up on Gaza now, please let's keep
#ConnectingGaza
, without eSIMs, Gaza will be TOTALLY isolated. One more push 🥲
@diandrasdiandra
Any action movie that’s not Marvel everyone is like it needs an Oscar just cause you’ve eaten slop for the past few years doesn’t make Top Gun gourmet
It’s actually deplorable cause Kate was “unrelatable” for being a well developed character and people skipped her season but Penelope’s season is a “return to form” because we have a white woman with a massive victim complex who’s easy to project onto as the lead again
this show’s main audience has always been str8 women that use the female characters as self inserts and lose all sense over mediocre men so I knew the homophobia was gonna jump out. I don’t go here but my deepest sympathies for my queer sisters invested in this.
It's interesting how Jordan Peele is one of American cinema's most interesting voices and Keegan-Michael Key pops up while I'm watching Italian schlock on Tubi to advertise hotel chains. I wonder do they still hang out.
Two weeks ago when they did an Oppenheimer themed episode and ended with Cheryl’s parents being Russian spies trying to create a bomb to take down America…there’s just never going to be anyone like them I fear
She bakes cakes and wears flowy dresses, she had only been with one man before like the good girl she is. How could anyone ever think she’s the villain? She has infantilized herself so throughly through the idea of womanhood to excuse herself as an abusive predator
@diandrasdiandra
Art is that single mom who works too hard who loves her kid and never stops while Tashi and Patrick are creating psychosexual nightmares for him in the corner
@princekendalll
And how if he knew his father was going to die he never would have said “I can’t forgive you” in his final call and how the rest of the season is almost in atonement for that
Thinking about Caroline Collingwood having no food in her house and the Roy kids growing up creating a game of poisoned concoctions just to feed themselves
