[@robertoduque2648]

I find Roman's final scene at the bar really interesting as its so subtle. He smiles as he is 'free' from dad's company and is self aware of how pointless the whole thing has been. But then in that last split second, he loses that smile, and I think that is him realising he is now on his own. Have you ever seen Roman with a friend?

[@aryavart296]

I think Roman holding a glass is an allusion to a lifetime of alcoholism

[@margarethmichelina5146]

Also, noticed that on Roman's final scene, he was drinking a martini? That is Gerri's favorite drink and it indicates that deep down, Roman loves Gerri.

Great comment yes I’ve watched this scene a couple of times and each time I see something just a little bit different such a great show watching season 4 again ☑️🙌

[@ericherrmann6501]

When Shiv says “congratulations” to Tom and Tom says “oh no no,” it’s quietly brilliant. Tom has just won everything Shiv ever wanted (being CEO of the company), and so she treats it as though she is congratulating her victorious adversary. However, all Tom wanted from the start was for Shiv to love and accept him, and he has realized that he has lost that completely. While he has complete power in their relationship (you can hear the condescension in his voice and feel it in the way he extends his hand), he knows it’s a hollow victory.

[@ArbiterofMankind]

I don't think he gives a damn if she loves him or not anymore, Shiv even asks before she boarded the plane if he wanted to talk about their relationship, and he shot her down completely. He's got all the attention he needs as CEO.

[@Nicebitoftucka]

​@@ArbiterofMankind I'm sure he did at one point

[@margarethmichelina5146]

Also, throughout entire Season 4, Shiv is bitching to Tom for betrayed her for sold her and her brothers out about them to confront their father eventhough she told him she doesn't love him anymore! And she's still resenting him even until her dad died. You noticed that ever since Logan died, Tom is way more stricts and serious, not too much joking with Greg and barely smiles anymore? Even when the siblings and the others are celebrating for getting the Gojo Deal with Mattson after their trip from Norway, Tom is just looking cold and not too excited. He's also dedicated himself on the job and missed Logan's funeral.

[@ty814]

Shiv is the most useless failure took birth from Logans sperm. Yeah all her brothers are mess but geez. Is she really Logans daughter or her mother have some affair behind Logans back.

[@margarethmichelina5146]

There's actually a deleted scene where Kendall wants to jump to the water for commit suicide but the director cut it as it was Jeremy Strong's idea since he's a method actor, he likes to improvise.

[@henrikanchelia64]

More like a silent witness of all of his crimes, shame and grief.

[@TheMap1997]

I mean he's got paid for it

[@neilrobson3064]

[@margarethmichelina5146]

The ending with Tom and Shiv in the car resemble the ending of "The Graduate" movie where both of the couple are sitting in the car looking at the front with blank stare to their uncertain future

[@81suze]

It’s not uncertain. She is far richer than him still and has his child. Tom has it all now.

[@Afreshio]

Poor Kendall (yeah, I know he is a terrible human being like most Succession characters). What Logan did to him when he was a child was cruel: promising him the Empire and declaring him the rightful heir. Connor knew since a young age he wasn't gonna be the true successor as his father saw him as a bastard, even though he wasn't. His delusional disorder and the association with his looney mother destroyed his chances. But not Kendall. Kendall truly internalized that promise his father made, that he should inherit the Earth. And he lived with that promised now written in his soul. And to lose that, after basing so much of your self and identity in that empty promise from a broken man, is gonna be soul destroying. No wonder Jeremy Strong thinks this ends means the definite end for Kendall. This is a suicide waiting to happen. But that's the actor. The writers left a somewhat slightly open ending. He may learn to do something else, become a different man, but it's really doubtful. This is why nobody should be promised at that early and impresionable age such a crazy promise and mainting that empty promise throughout all his life. And when the time comes (the pilot of the show) for the coronation to happen just cancel the whole deal. Also Kendall was just as capable as Tom at being a CEO. I don't think either Roman nor Shiv had the makings or training of one. Kendall did. Tom had flaws, Kendall had flaws. It doesn't matter. Both of them could do that stupid job. It was just Logan being a mean and petty bastard to initiate the hunger games among his children, one last fight that ended of killing him- that's all

[@margarethmichelina5146]

Kendall's biggest downfall is his ego. If he stops saying "Hey, I'm the rich kid, you should've listened to me" every fucking time, he would win. Same as Shiv, if she stops using her resting bitch face and stop contradicting to everyone, she would win. Rome also could win if he's way more serious. Connor out of the game since the beginning so he doesn't count. Techinically, everyone on this show is not good people (I'm gonna say Gerri is probably the sanest character) but Tom has something nobody have on this show: Humility. Yeah, he most of the time being a jerk to Greg and even bully him but he starts to change ever since Shiv's cheating to Nate on their own wedding day! He realizes he has to step his game to be accepted on Roys family. He's the only one who takes the cruise scandal seriously and even willingly to go to prison while none of the Roys want to (Honestly, who even want to go to prison anyway?) Both of Logan and Mattson see the potential on Tom and they both see him as the true CEO of Waystar. Technically, Mattson is the true successor of Logan as Logan sold his "soul" which is the company to him and Mattson needs someone who can take responsibility which is Tom.

[@Iwinnuu]

Wow

[@angelaxl1230]

@@margarethmichelina5146 Great analysis of the character. But Mattson choose Tom because he is ready to suck the biggest D.. too, as Shiv said. Mattson put him to test when he tells him at the restaurant how him and Shiv could and would go together, and Tom say nothing to defend his honor. It's for what this scene shows about relationship between Mattson and tom too, i think, he refuse the congratulations at the end. He sacrificed too much of his dignity as man and husband.

[@sneedle252]

Eh I don't know if he was more capable. Perhaps he was farsighted enough to see that Waystar couldn't rely on protection or a market from one half of the US political spectrum, and needed to truly globalise. You could also see that as him not understanding "how the sausage is made", in terms of needing political protection and a connection with contemporary identity that was only possible through sucking up to one side of the US aisle, with globalisation and impartiality actually destroying their protection and their market.

[@aryavart296]

I think Roman holding a glass is an allusion to a lifetime of alcoholism as a coping mechanism to purposelessness

[@mimirants7935]

Still unhinged how Roman's last scene ever is him drinking Gerri's favourite drink and smiling. (Also the director saying she is the "quasi love of his life") Like I can imagine Kendall and Shiv's futures, good or bad, but with Roman I'm a genuine blank. Where is he going after this? Rejoin Waystar? Gerri's trophy bf?
