It was so great to see some real emotion from one of them about their loss. I get that they are in a tricky situation with this deal. But it seemed to me like Kendall after losing it the first night, just was loving every aspect of this transition. And Shiv shed her last tear on that boat.
I love how they shot this scene. They’re in the most beautiful place on earth, yet have zero awareness of anything and can’t appreciate anything or feel any happiness. Such a great scene.
Poor Roman. Out of all the kids, he's grieving the most. He could never completely cut his father off. Even after the way things ended last season, he still went back to him. He doesn't know how to function without Logan around.
I love Kendall and Roman together. I think it's the closest thing to a real bond in the show. I love it when Kendall just knows when Roman is about to lose it and tries to stop him and when he can't do it then tries to comfort him and says his move might work when he knows it can't. I think we can understand the bond by these little things like Kendall defending Rome from Logan in season 2 and i notice in the Logan's death episode Kendall is looking at Roman a lot and checks if he is ok i can't help it i just love them. Go the CE-Bros
It worked wonders for the board. As far as they're concerned the brothers hit a home run. Matsson paid way more than he would have, even for the complete package, if he where negotiating with Logan whom he knew wanted to sell in good faith. The moment he knew they didn't want to sell, he had to offer a way bigger amount to make his offer impossible to refuse.
@@RunningRugby4 yeah i agree the important thing is from everyone's point of view the "CE-Bros" works. And maybe it was a negotiating tactic:))) but it's not:)
What killed Logan was the fact that he didn't wear flight socks to impress his girlfriend and then had a pulmonary embolism. If you notice, Karl and Frank made sure they wore compression socks before jet-setting to Norway after Logan's death.
This makes the scene that Roman has to sign the document while getting photographed standing next to Lukas and Shiv watching her defeated brother so much more sad
Kendall and Shiv had their moments previous seasons and I am glad this season we put more attention to Roman. His character development is really interesting and we finally see him beyond a man child with rich dad
My favourite Roman moment so far, I hope he gets to be the official Succesor he has come a long way, and become more mature and sensitive after Logan’s death , he will be proud.
That’s the thing, if he wants the top job he’d most likely have to lose that sensitive side he’s shown since his pops died. He’d need to be as cruel and ruthless as Logan.
@@FilonisHat He is cruel and ruthless, just not to his family members. He can't last against Kendall or Shiv, Shiv wants to make her own pile but the others are too obsessed with Logans legacy, and Kendall is an addict that comes off his high eventually. None of them can win.
Logan definitely wouldn’t be proud. Roman let his emotions and personal issues get in the way of business, something Logan would be ashamed of. Now Matsson knows how emotionally invested Ken and Rom are in the company and will use that to his advantage. He made a huge offer for the company that all the old execs love, and if Ken and Rom kill the deal, they’ll have a mutiny.
@@billyobfas6962 Well, it's not abusive that's how just rich peoples relationship works, plus he's last child of Logan he has more affection than the rest of the Roys
@@vigneshwaranv-vo6wp more affection?? girl he was the only one who his father is confirmed to have abused (physically! he hit roman as a kid!) and abused kids idolising the people who hurt them is a surprisingly common response. man is out here being manipulated and dismissed and still being hit as an adult and some people are like ‘it’s so good hes standing up for his dad’ ????????
Seems like the people in the comments don’t get dynamics among personality types. I agree 100%, Mattson is the same kind of bully-figure that Logan was. Except Roman can actually fight and yell back at Matsson. He never would have allowed himself to speak like that to Logan.
@@the9thinning1 does it really end up mattering if you don't elaborate? I'm here to bring it back up to relevancy because this comment was dead in the water.
FINALLY! I was waiting for Roman to step up. He always seemed to dance around topics, albeit skillfully. But for once he told it like it is straight to Matsson's face. But that is what what was needed, the truth. All cards on the table.
@@unadanni the way he so clearly wasn't distraught over JUST the business deal, his dad barely died and Mattson's was already trying to chew the siblings down to their bones, he was buying not only his dad's company but also the news outlet his father was extremely attached to, and Roman has been volatile since the beginning of the show. He doesn't even want to sell the company: if his father had been alive at that point he probably would have. And, guess what: the death of a parent can make you emotionally unstable in any situation at any age
@@bellamy0160 It doesn't even matter in the end. None of them wins, and it's no longer a family-owned business. Roman will HAVE to learn how to function in a world without that damnable old man of his.
I think that was Mencken wasnt it? AFAIK first time Rome and Mattson talked was at Ken’s birthday party. Their names are so similar though lol don’t blame you Edit: I realize now that Mattson and Rome did go into the bathroom at Ken’s bday party. Kinda weird how he seems to be at his best negotiating-wise when talking to the other dude in a bathroom.
Scooby-Dooing is something Roman brought up as a strategy to his dad a couple of seasons earlier. Matson dismissing it as childish really pushed him over the edge
And see this is the entire point that Logan was trying to make. None of his children are capable of doing what needs to be done. Whether it comes down to just pure incompetence, emotional issues or just a lack of any guts. Mattson is Logan. He is an animal that will do whatever it takes and when he wants to burn someone he will and he has no hesitation and the kids are just not capable of beating him. So when Roman is like oh you wouldn’t delay it give us a break that’s him basically being like why won’t you just do what we want? Meanwhile mattson is just like this really can’t be any easier?
In the end, i think Matsson is the one who made Logan the happiest, at least the last months before his passing. Both Logan and Matsson care little about enjoying money, what really keeps them alive is all those bussiness strategies, flirting and negotiations between two equally manipulative giants, just like they showed during their conversations in Matsson's villa in Italy. Thinking about the next move is what Logan really loved, and Matsson kept his rhythm just fine, only Logan was eventually defeated by his age.
It’s funny he brought up Kendall overpaying for vaulter, then made the exact same move. Like Logan Roy would say - "congratulations on saying the biggest number you f-----g moron!"
As a big fan of the show and an even bigger fan of Roman, I had been hoping for a scene like this. If anywhere, then where better to snap than in front of Matsson on a mountain top? I loved it! And should anyone from HBO or the Succession team read this, pretty pretty please release sometime after May 28 the scenes that didn't make the final cut, such as the full discussion between Stewy and Ken, Mencken paying his respects, the confrontation with Connor and any other bit available. I can't possibly be alone in wanting this?
I thought of this as Roman waiting on Kendall to say something to defend their dead father. He snapped when he realized Kendall was only going to hesitate and not say anything. These last few episodes I don’t see it as Roman imploding. He’s handled the situations logically.
Feel like this episode perfectly portrayed why Logan didn't want to give the company to any of his children. Roman being immature and can't physically stop himself from saying something dumb. Kendal trying to kill the deal just so he can continue to be CEO. Shyv being completely selfish and looking out only for herself.
There’s a difference between keeping your company from falling and honoring your father’s legacy while maintaining self respect. Deals come and go. Waystar can always find a different solution and the company isn’t broke, like they said they are rich. Doing business with Mattson would mean surrendering and becoming his to control.
More and more as I watch this show Kieran keeps reminding me of Robert Downey Jr. He’s such a dynamic actor, always moving around, great at improv and can turn the humor off for dramatic scenes so well while keeping the quick witted aspect of his character right at the front. Really good.
01:53 I've been OBSESSED with how Roman says "Did I?" God his delivery was insane
Even the little “good” right after. Just perfect.
Yea..kind of imitated from Walf of wall street yacht scene
same. the timing, the look in his eyes, the tone in his voice, i could go on about this.
@@gordongekko9742 exactly what i thought
Amazing, you can see how the anger seeps through his polite smile
The delivery of “it’s over for me” conveys exactly how Roman must be feeling
l was so nervous he was just gonna push him off the cliff 🤣
"Maybe it plays" ... Kendall, the eternal optimist.
😂
kinda did too LOL upped the offer a few billion.
@Nick Macker But Kendall wants to run the empire, not sell
The shot of him wearing that beanie and staring off into the mountains made that line even funnier.
😂😂
This is Roman in boss mode. His own way, his own style, being true to himself. I love it.
I feel for Roman. He is still in mourning for his father and he just had it with all the sarcastic jokes.
It was so great to see some real emotion from one of them about their loss. I get that they are in a tricky situation with this deal. But it seemed to me like Kendall after losing it the first night, just was loving every aspect of this transition. And Shiv shed her last tear on that boat.
Not even still in mourning, more like still processing that it even happened.
I love how they shot this scene. They’re in the most beautiful place on earth, yet have zero awareness of anything and can’t appreciate anything or feel any happiness. Such a great scene.
Kieran Culkin deserves a Emmy for this episode
Relax
No
I agree - it was so wellplayed!
He deserves an Emmy for this exact moment.

Without proper parenting that's really how kids would end up.

Ken after episode 7: ARE YOU SURE ABOUT THAT
It was clearly windy on that mountain. The sound team deserves an Emmy.
But not the production team. Transition on 1:34 was poor
@@excluyousivitehow do you mean?
Kieran Culkin is absolutely fantastic in this scene, this season has really given him a lot to work with.
This felt real. I was nervous watching this scene
Definitely. Mattson's scenes have an edge 😬
What killed Logan was the fact that he didn't wear flight socks to impress his girlfriend and then had a pulmonary embolism. If you notice, Karl and Frank made sure they wore compression socks before jet-setting to Norway after Logan's death.
Excellent point!
Hearsay
the performances in this show are spectacular, but kieran deserves the emmy

The BEST show on television right now. Every episode is a masterpiece
Kieran and Sarah better win big at the Emmys. They've killed it this season 🙌
or Jeremy because yes he did too
And look at them now!
The precise scene where Kieran Culkin won an Emmy. 👏
Kendall and Shiv had their moments previous seasons and I am glad this season we put more attention to Roman. His character development is really interesting and we finally see him beyond a man child with rich dad
"Now if a deal collapses in the woods and no one hears it, is it an SEC violation?"

You have no idea how clueless you sound

When Rome he said "Did I" is like when leo said "am I?" in the wolf of wall street when he was talking to that FBI agent.
And both Leo and Rome both lost, pathetically 😂🤣
Leo also said "did I"
Roman defending his father is top NOTCH!!!
That’s how abusive relationships sadly work

All-time television moment. And the acting from Kieran Culkin is perfection 🙌
Oh my god they are both just brilliant.
The acting in this show deserves all the awards
One of my top 5 favorite scenes from Succession. Culkin nailed it.
Roman has the best character development in the series
In a way, Matsson is a stand in for their dad, and this is Roman sticking up for himself for the first time in his life.
What?
@@thewillsta5882 lol

The actor who plays Matson plays jackass character so well
Roman's journey from Season 3 to 4 has been amazing to watch...amazing show.
Throwback to when Roman first discussed the deal with mattson when they were in the washroom at that party😂😂
Great catch!
I think that was Mencken wasnt it? AFAIK first time Rome and Mattson talked was at Ken’s birthday party. Their names are so similar though lol don’t blame you
Edit: I realize now that Mattson and Rome did go into the bathroom at Ken’s bday party. Kinda weird how he seems to be at his best negotiating-wise when talking to the other dude in a bathroom.
One of my new favorite scenes in this absolutely brilliant show
Kieran Culkin = top tier actor right now. Give the man an Emmy, an Oscar, a role as The Joker... He must be protected at all costs!!!
Jesus, the dialogue in this scene is so well written, frankly, all of the dialogue in the show is so well written
The dynamics this season are the best of the show.
I did not think kieran Culkan had that in him. He's on fire this season.
Scooby-Dooing is something Roman brought up as a strategy to his dad a couple of seasons earlier.
Matson dismissing it as childish really pushed him over the edge
well said.
wondering what the exact nature of that strategy would be?
Roman did the right thing, There’s no price tag for honor & a clear conscience
Real power move barging in on a man pissing like that
This was PROBABLY my single favorite “Roman moment” in the ENTIRE series.
And see this is the entire point that Logan was trying to make. None of his children are capable of doing what needs to be done. Whether it comes down to just pure incompetence, emotional issues or just a lack of any guts. Mattson is Logan. He is an animal that will do whatever it takes and when he wants to burn someone he will and he has no hesitation and the kids are just not capable of beating him. So when Roman is like oh you wouldn’t delay it give us a break that’s him basically being like why won’t you just do what we want? Meanwhile mattson is just like this really can’t be any easier?
the emotion...i'm trembling
So many things happening from 0:26 to 0:29
the way kendall says “rome” like he recognizes what he’s about to do was nice
Tremendous
That tiny little smile at the end
Kieran is taking that Emmy home !
In the end, i think Matsson is the one who made Logan the happiest, at least the last months before his passing. Both Logan and Matsson care little about enjoying money, what really keeps them alive is all those bussiness strategies, flirting and negotiations between two equally manipulative giants, just like they showed during their conversations in Matsson's villa in Italy. Thinking about the next move is what Logan really loved, and Matsson kept his rhythm just fine, only Logan was eventually defeated by his age.
he ate that up so good
I am so happy y'all decided to upload this clip.
I love how after every episode people have a new contender for an emmy!
1:49 makes me feel things... i have seen this scene like 10 time after the episode aired just for that moment😭
didn't even need to click to know what it was, that Did I got me good too, it's so visceral.
It’s funny he brought up Kendall overpaying for vaulter, then made the exact same move. Like Logan Roy would say - "congratulations on saying the biggest number you f-----g moron!"
He never bought vaulter though he just wanted to hire their former CEO
i never noticed how long and loud he pissed
We never saw him put his wang away either
I love the way Skarsgard (Matsson) delivers his “yea-heh-heh” at 1:55
Give him all the awards
I think this outburst is mostly due to Connor sending Roman a picture of dads corpse
roman finally standing up for himself and his siblings. This was so intense and he just handled it like a champ I lovei t

When ROME gives Kendall that look, he knows it’s going to get bad.
Dicaprio level acting

This should be played in every acting school. What a masterpiece
Solidifying Roman as most GOAT Roy

This is when Roman became Scooby Doos
The way I found Roman insanely hot during this scene is wild
One of the best scenes in the show. Roman at his finest
jesse really made them enemies because they would be unstoppable as lovers, but that's just my grain of salt
Are you talking about Roman and Ken or Roman and Matsson
In my head I was like “Hit him Rome!!!”
Mattson is VERY punchable.
interesting the show's creators introduce Logan by having him pee on the floor of his home in the first scene of the series
This was so cathartic.
And THIS is why Kieran won the Golden Globe tonight!
This was the scene for me that I knew Kieran was going to get that Emmy. Congrats Kieran!
Feel like this episode perfectly portrayed why Logan didn't want to give the company to any of his children.

Another Roman episode! Kieran is killing the final season!
If they didn't want to keep the company and have the bigest bag this was a genius move.
Please, give a Emmy to Kieran Culkin
the thumbnail looks like a scene from a romcom
That's how you win an Emmy in 2:24 mins. Served.
When Kendall say “Rome” is “Rome do your best”, and all us knew that is gonna be incredible and Shocking!
Emmy Nomination coming at you.
I just love the "every email is gonna take six months" line hahaha
So proud of Roman this year….I hope this ages well. edit* It did not
This SCENE!! 👏🏼👏🏼
Actor show basic emotion, fans: He deserves an Emmy
The irony of Roman calling him inhuman dog while Lukas is peeing 😂
00:53 sounds like foreshadowing, he's going to off himself
Flawless episode.
For a moment I thougt they were going to throw him out of the mountain
The roy's get a taste of the own medicine
Phenomenal! Emmy for Kieran please. 👏🏻🥇🏆🏅🎖️🤩⭐️✨
Just Eric Northman being himself 😂
Roman stepped up and showed some guts for a change
Kieran Culkin is gonna win the golden globe
