"Woof, woof" - that got a massive laugh from me. Dialogue in this show is 2nd to none.

Please don't choke, for the love of God Kendall please don't choke.

"Life isn't nice, it's contingent. People who say they love you also fuck you." Incredible quote.

Come here - Kendall even opens the conversation like Hugo is his dog

This has such a Godfather vibe to it. Incredible scene, excellent episode, phenomenal show!

Kendall is such an amazing character really. So deeply flawed, so human. He has so many sides of him. Going to miss him.

Ken has pretty much lost his family and is now full on killer mode. I can see an ending where he is the King of the Company and his staff are Hugo, Frank, Tom and maybe Greg. With the support of Stewie he can make it happen, let's see where it goes.

"You will be my DOG ! You will get SCRAPS from the table, but the scraps will be millions !"

Fisher Stevens is a delight on this show. He’s been consistently terrific in everything for decades.

I hope Kendall gets full Killer mode this time.

I'll never understand why they never capitalised on how badass this scene was. Kendall going full Darth Vader/Michael Corleone would've been epic: powerful yet sad and lonely.

The writing for this show is brilliant! This scene is pure gold

"Then I am the droid you're looking for!"

Of the Roy's Kendall is the only one with true chances of winning, he was laying the ground long before anyone, he already recruited frank and now hugo. Not only that he is the only one who knows the business and what he is doing, the only one that has experience with this kind of pressure. Lets hope ends up at the top

The fucking zoom in on “I am the droid you are looking for” is perfect, it reveals Hugo to be such a nerdy character.

Kendall looking at the mausoleum like "See you in hell, old man."

What an absolutely thrilling scene, major Darth Vader vibes. Despite how flaky and unconvincing Kendall's schemes are, Jeremy Strong brings such an intensity to his performance that you can't help but be compelled. His dead-eyed, brutal honesty to Hugo was stirring. I also love how they framed Kendall's long-awaited "transformation" into Logan as this sad, dark thing rather than something to be celebrated. Brilliant usage of the music that played during Logan's "pirates" speech too.

I have to say the collaboration between the writing and acting is harmoniously delectable. I sincerely hope Ken wins, wins big, and devours all in his way. Will he lose his soul like Logan Roy? YES! Will he be a KILLER; YES! SUCCESSION, you will be missed.

Kendall’s gonna use the billions he got from the Gojo deal. Buy out Pierce, rival Waystar. Mencken gonna lose the presidency. ATN and Tom gonna get fucked. I’m not even tripping.

Woof woof lol

Fav scene. The music makes it perfect.

The score at the end of the scene gave me chills. Everything about this show is just top notch.

His look at his father`s grave without any sign of emotion was so powerful.

I gotta say, as crazy as Kendall had become by the last episode, where he exploded on Rome and Shiv at the board vote, I still believe he would’ve made a pretty good CEO. Idk if better than Tom but he was really good at speeches off the cuff and had a good mind for business, especially without his dad constantly stepping on his toes. After the last episode and Kendall’s reaction to Shiv’s decision, clearly he didn’t deserve it, but man it was heartbreaking to see him walking to the water with Collin as his bodyguard. Oh well, he can go cry with his billions of dollars lmao, I mean can’t he still buy Pierce?

Kendall threw the ball on the last play of the Super Bowl.

*“Roman catches. Puts up a three - won’t go! Rebound Kendall, back out to Hugo - his three pointer, BANG! TIE GAME! WITH ONE EPISODE REMAINING!”*

The choice for Kendall’s grey jacket with his collar up is insane, he’s rogue while everyone’s dressed in black he’s grey, his true feelings are a grey area … speaks to how conflicted he felt towards his father

Michael Corleone right here. His siblings are way in over their heads. And speaking of heads, many heads will fall. And he will lose his family. Only to reign over a depressing kingdom.

That beat drop at the end just go so hard 1:22!

I love how this show treats its characters so unseriously, mfs are talking about stabbing family in the back to basically run the world and then you get a fucking star wars quote in the middle of it "then I am the droid you are looking for" lol

Just love how he simply says "woof, woof". That's the kind of person you can work with.

“I am the droid you’re looking for.” One of the best Star Wars references ever! 😂

the writers forgot he said this

This scene is key. When he glimpses at Logan being carried away, it's like him saying, ok we're done with him, now let's move on and do this!!! what an episode!!!

Ken has become his father now, there’s no going back for him, and I think the reason why Hugo easily agrees to being his “dog” is because he sees Logan in Ken now and the determination to do anything to make sure he’s the one in control of the company. Same with Frank in an earlier episode when Ken told him about Mattson’s inflated numbers, they have both seen Logan in Ken now, which isn’t a good thing.

The glimpse at 1.25 says goodbye to Logan.

Kendall is slowing losing his humanity. He can become the king, but he wont be loved by anybody

Big fan of Kendall Corleone.

“Life is not knights on horseback, it’s a fight for a knife in the mud”-Logan Roy “Life is not nice, it’s contingent, people who say they love you fuck you”-Kendall Roy

It's very funny in hindsight to see him making these big, sweeping, capital-m Moves only to fumble the bag to historical proportions the very next episode.

Kendall spend the majority of the series as Fredo, now he's finally transforming to Michael Corleone, hope this time it will work out.

The Inception-like music at the end is just perfection. Nicolas Britell didn’t have to go that hard but I’m glad he did

I do truly hope Kendall wins.

I got chills as soon as Hugo said "woof woof".

Sharpest script moment of TV since a long time

Seeing Ken take all his pain, suffering, experience from Logan and just become the ultimate killer is so satisfying

The music at the end of this scene..... So fkn good

He is the ELDEST BOY!

They way he looks at the help at 0:44 "life....it's contingent"

Hugo is a great guy for Kendall to pick up. He's on the kill list as is, so even if Kendall didnt offer millions its still in his best interest to kill the deal and stay loyal.

Kendall has to win!!! He has Hugo, frank, and Stewy in his pocket. Karl admires him after living + and Roman kinda fears him, I think the stage is set for him to kick shiv out of the door.

Not sure why they even filmed this scene if they were going to do Kendall like they did in the finale

Perfection.

This episode showed that Roman is unstable and Shiv is a joke. Kendall in one.

The final look towards logan for approval, dead empty eyes. He didnt need the approval this time, this is the version of Kendal Logan always wanted

The score change is fascinating

Number one boy

The background music at the end is superb, giving feels of a despot dictator on command.

The most evilest of villain music EVER! Please let it be Kendal

Thats the second time that theme plays. The first was when Logan gave the speech to ATN in his very last episode.

Logan’s villain theme coming back in at the end was awesome.

"Then I am the droid you are looking for." LMAO

This might be my favorite scene in the entire show

The price to pay to reach the top is always loneliness. One crown, one king.

This ties into what Logan was saying earlier this season. He was saying people are economic units at their core. Here Kendall is using money as an incentive just like Logan would have. He knows was Hugo wants and he provides.

Badass scene hope Kendall wins it all

Life isn't nice, it's contingent.

When the music kicks in, just chefs kiss

Anyone who thinks that Ken getting the top spot is bad bc it’s predictable can just go enjoy that other massive HBO finale that gives the crown to an unexpected character. Enjoy Bran the Broken (Greg) while the rest of us bend the knee to King Aegon Targaryen (Kendall Logan Roy). Predictable doesn’t mean bad and unpredictable doesn’t mean good.

Such a brilliant show in all aspects, acting, writing, directing...how the camera goes to the workers clearing out the chairs to accent the pivot of Kendall from immediate chores at hand to the future of what's at stake...his baddassery!

That did not age well

i feel like kendall is gonna “win” but he’s gonna be completely miserable. his siblings will hate him, he will become just like his father, his kids will hate him

Ken also treated Roman like a dog in their final conversation this episode... Berated him for "fucking it'" but then patted him on the head as he left and told him "it's alright"

If Shive wins after stabbing everyone in the back I’ll be disappointed

the music at the end is simply masterful. it makes you think that ken might actually be the killer his dad wanted him to be.

That scene in America Decides where Shiv and Ken are having that conversation about him being a ‘good guy’ was the pivot of his transformation, he’s hellbent now.

1:12 kinda weird they recast Mondale in the second to last episode

Kendall had a very "Michael Corleone" vibe to him this episode. But if he's planning on going to "war" against Shiv over the company he better remember that she knows about what really happen with the waiter who died at her wedding and how Kendall was there when it happened.

The brutality of the show, Kendall: ‘Life isn’t nice….’ camera cuts to the poor chap picking up the chairs. 😅😅

when hugo said woof woof i smiled so fucking hard. KEN IS MAKING MOVES 🔥

Kendall really has become his father

Sam Adler Bell wrote, in reference to Freud's "Totem and Taboo," that Succession ends when the children successfully cannibalize their father. This scene is Kendall consuming his father, his strength and vitality, and taking it as justification for his reign. I'm sure he's going to fail on the way to the crown, and the after effects are going to be grisly, but it WILL be his. I think, notably, Ewan's eulogy, wherein he describes the death of his sister, will prove revelatory about what Kendall's blood price will have to be.

Ewan's depiction of how Logan stopped trying during the eulogy, to the side eye from Ewan to Ken after his big speech, to the almost direct segway to this scene. Yeah it's wraps for Shiv and Roman and everybody really, the writing has been on the wall for a while

The way the music comes in, and is full on Sith Lord-like, just sends chills down my spine.

Kenbros we are SO back

This episode was awesome, one of my favorites for sure in the whole series.

The Score is so haunting at the end of this scene.

Oh my days…that OST at the end….chills!…. Darth Vader x Succession shit

How the score picks up at the end of the scene. My goodness it was riveting.

Literal transcript of Rupert Murdok talking to all fox news hosts and contributors

Logan said “you have to be a killer.” Kendall is the only actual killer in the family.

I can't believe that's Roger from Friends!

I am skeptical of Kendall's ability to maintain momentum. We have seen this before. Kendall shows strength but then he self sabotages and falls short. This may, indeed, be Kendall's crowning moment but I am skeptical

es interesante como kendall se nota mas malvado a medida que avanza el capitulo, las solapas del abrigo para arriba como tipico villano dbsj

"woof woof" he didnt even hesitate...

The same music they played during Logan's shark speech. Hmmm foreshadowing either Kendall's succesful bloodthirsty rise OR Ken's death ??? Just a thought

In just one episode, Kendall somehow forgot his own words here & got fcked.

This scene gave me goosebumps

Love the music that kicks in lets u know shits about to go down next week 😊

I love cold calculated Kendall, hope he can come through in the finale!
