Season Six Episode Eight

Big 3 Trilogy – Kevin

This episode is mainly about Kevin. I think Kevin was a little selfish as a kid. He was always whinning about something. Even when he became a young adult; he seems to always have these problems.

I like this Kevin now; not the younger Kevin. He is insecure but is now at least trying to be more considerate of others. Even though he is a movie star, he has not idea what he wants to do with his life.

Him taking those twins on the plane for a trip to the cabin was a brave move. He had a time on the plane with them and everyone was looking at him with the dirty look. His trip back on the plane was a lot better; and he was getting smiles from the passengers.

In my opinion, Kevin is looking for the love he lost. He wants the family life he had when his Dad was alive. Hopefully, in this final season, he will find love again. Who will he end up with?

Season Six Episode Eight

Big 3 Trilogy – Kate

This episode was nothing like I expected. Kate finally goes to San Francisco where Toby works. Toby is very excited and planned their entire weekend. Kate on the other hand does not seem happy to go; and she has this negative energy.

Toby wants his family to move there and he has looked at a house and everything. Kate is not pleased about that.; she gives him a hard time. They go to his boss’s house for a party and she is not happy about that. Kate finds out that Toby does not tell her about a job offer he had back in LA and she gets very upset. That news just sent her over the edge.

In my opinion, I think she is being just a little irritated. She is not able to look at the big picture. He did plan their future life without consulting her, but she has to realize he loves his job and is not leaving it. All I can think of is that she does not want to move; and expecting him to eventually find a job closer to home. I think she is also jealous because Toby has lost all this weight; and she feels left behind. I know from the previews that they end up breaking up; not sure who will ask first. Kate just seems to always want her way and not willing to compromise when it really matters. What do you think?

This episode is special and it will make you emotional. The family is celebrating Thanksgiving at the cabin and everything goes.

Randall is very emotional because he thinks this is the last Thanksgiving for his mother. He wants his kids to bond with their grandmother. He is taking all these pictures trying to catch all the memories he can. Beth eventually has to take the phone from him at the request of Rebecca.

Kevin is happy to have everyone there because he wants to show everyone his plans for the new cabin. He gets into it with Miguel who is only trying to help. Kevin is playing a guitar the entire time and getting on everyone’s nerves.

Kate is having a time with Toby. They are fighting the entire time and finally have to sit down to address the problem. Everyone is feeling uncomfortable.

Rebecca has plans to talk to all her kids to let them know her plans. She finally sits the kids down for a heart to heart talk. It’s very touching. She is very direct and picks a point of contact for her care as needed. I wasn’t surprised who she picked but you may be.

The show should start getting good now; and I can’t wait to see what will happen.

Succession

Season Two

This season starts out slow but ends with a bang!!

Kendall is trying to smooth things over with Logan but is doing drugs again. Kendall is trying to also recovering from all the drama he caused in season one. Kendall is willing to do anything his father ask him to do because of the tragedy he caused.

Shiv and Tom leave their honeymoon early to help deal with the controversy with one of the star anchors on their news outlet. Shiv is at the moment still working in politics, but is starting to focus on joining her siblings at the company.

Roman is still very immature. He is my least favorite character on the show. I don’t even think he needs to be working at Waystar Royco. Not much to say about him. Logan seems to listens to all the comments Roman’s make. Roman just seems so insecure with a chip on his shoulder.

Logan trying to buy a new television station. He and the family go for the weekend to the home of the seller’s where they have to be on their best behavior. All is going well they think the weekend went well. Later in the episode, the seller pulls out of the deal.
