The fact Caroline as his own mother didn't even stand up to comfort her own son who broke down and just sitting there looking sad really shows you how awful she is. Even Connor as his half brother stood up and comfort him.

@@VeniVidiVicous As much as ignorant and abusive Logan is, I noticed that Logan is always nicer to Shiv as probably because Shiv is the only daughter and the youngest Roy. You can see that Shiv is always respecting Logan and not always agree for Kendall for always throw him down as CEO. Even she looks disgusted to see Kendall put his foot on Logan's former office table. But, deep down, she's always having her agenda and it always backfired.

Matsson and Mencken's reactions side by side are interesting. Lukas seems to get it, has a "Oh, he wasn't kidding on the mountain" kind of look while Mencken's your pushy hockey dad after you blow the big match, a restrained, disappointed "Well, okay then."

@margarethmichelina5146 7 ай бұрын

It's ironic that Roman pushed his siblings to choose Mecken but then in his dad's house on awakening, Mecken completely ignored him. Also, there's a theory that Roman might have a crush to Mecken hence why they were so close in Season 3. However, Mecken is married as you noticed he has a wife and a kid on his victory speech. Therefore, Roman's "simping" to Mecken for nothing.

Also don't forget that Lukas found his own dad after he unalived himself and is prone to bouts of melancholy. He understands the sadness and the emotional trauma because he's lived it.

@jackiemortes 13 күн бұрын

@@BatmanHQYT Maybe there are other ways to interpret them here but I think it's pretty straightforward. Matsson shows some genuine compassion and empathy while Mencken is a typical Mr Autocratic politician asshole who doesn't acknowledge and accept any signs of weakness. Which also might suggest that Roman is not good at picking the crowd he hangs around

Roman always being terrible to the other people by disrespecting them, rude and also talk whatever he wants. However, deep down, he's actually still suffering a Stockholm Syndrome as he is mostly always following Logan every time and always act arrogance whenever he's around Logan. He tried to act like Logan by firing Joy and Gerri and even mocking Willa as Connor's "wife", he's also thinking that having Mecken as the President would be a good idea as Logan chose Mecken to be the President candidate and he's thinking it would be honor him but it backfired to him as the public don't like Mecken because he is a fascist. Even worse, Mecken ignoring him later on Logan's house. This moment expose himself that he is indeed a spoiled daddy rich kid who is nothing without his daddy and also shows how weak he is as his other siblings are stronger. Also, Ewan's eulogy feels like a wake up call to him so he feels overwhelmed on bringing his eulogy later.

@sidolanters1394 4 ай бұрын

No one ever thought Rome was strong. He clearly built a wall around his emotions, hence the constant rudeness, obscenities, jokes, put-downs, etc. It was always very obvious that he was a very sensitive man, we just barely got to see it before this scene (we saw a little of it after the hostage situation in Turkey, that was the first crack). Rome is the embodiment of "tough on the outside, soft on the inside"

@@kentknightofcaelin4537 exactly. people who are outwardly tough (don't let anything get to them, never allow themselves to be vulnerable) are actually weak (or rather, afraid, which is a form of weakness); now to allow yourself to be yourself, to be vulnerable and to show your emotions, THAT is strength.

@michaelhays 2 ай бұрын

I don't think it would have been too much necessarily, and definitely think it would have been in character for Gerri. But I think it's also in character for her to abstain, since while she clearly cares about Roman, she generally acts in self-interest. "How does it serve my interests?"

@margarethmichelina5146 2 ай бұрын

Gerri cares to Roman but she still feels bitter to him for firing her out of his whim. I think not making her comfort Roman is a good decision although we can see her worry and concern to him. Even when Karl showed the video of him crying from Ray, Gerri the only one who said, "Oh, come on! That's not funny!"
