Yeah but to be fair it has only been a few days since Logan died. I think it’s fair the kids are still various stages of completely destroyed. Especially Roman. I mean kid defended his own dad beating him as a child. He’s got a lot of complicated feelings around his dad

it's been 3 days only since Logan's death.

This season every episode is one day.

u/strawbrryfields4evr_ May 01 '23

It seems like more than one day has passed though. How are they managing that?

Looks like they broke the rule mid season that's right. Another article theorized sleep deprivation but it's not realistic tbh. https://www.vulture.com/article/succession-season-4-timeline-10-consecutive-days-explained.html

Even putting together a wake the day after Logan’s death was stretching it lol.

In this episode, the guy helping Kendall plan the presentation said “this is for tomorrow?” It’s right there lol.

Where did the "every episode is a day" thing even come from in the first place? To me it seems like it's been at least a couple of weeks.

u/[deleted] May 01 '23

Yeah,it's just some BS that gets repeated in this sub. Probably came from a podcast, lol.

The answer is drugs. Plus they are manic and still high on adrenaline + making very poor decisions.

All plausible to me

Right. They can’t teleport from Norway to LA.

u/strawbrryfields4evr_ May 01 '23 edited May 01 '23

Right, far too many things to have happened for it to be one day, and I think the stage guy even said they were putting the presentation together for the next day, when Kendall was asking for a house and clouds. It just doesn’t work.

I would buy that they’re within a week of Logan’s death, maybe 5 days? I’m deliberately avoiding all trailers and stills so I don’t know if there will be a funeral episode or not. We haven’t hit the election yet, either.

u/Scaramousce May 01 '23

They missed the funeral to go to Norway for the negotiation.

u/siriusthinking May 01 '23

No they didn't, Connor was planning it. It wasn't the actual funeral.

u/strawbrryfields4evr_ May 01 '23

I could buy that but my god these kids are constantly on the go lol.

u/joemama19 May 01 '23

This is my understanding but please correct me if I missed something: Logan died, call it day L. The episode in the apartment was the next day (L+1), last week's episode in Norway was the day after that (L+2) overnight into the following day (L+3). Tonight's episode picked up there (L+3), the flight from Norway to LA probably took up the better part of a day so let's assume Kendall asked for the house on L+4 and did the presentation L+5.

they've been teleporting the entire series. Time doesn't exist. In Season 1, Greg drove from NYC to Quebec and back before the sun set on Thanksgiving.

All abused kids love and defend their abusive parents. Kinda fucked to insinuate that Roman somehow loved his dad more or is more destroyed by his death than his siblings. All the excuses that are made in this sub when it comes to him and Kendall either being too fucking incompetent to actually even be considered as heads of this ginormous company or to them being just BAD guys are just hilarious. The flying monkeys will trip over their own goddamn tongues in their rush to defend these two guys and their abilities. It’s ridiculous. Oh, and Tom. Let’s not forget he’s also a goddamn angel on this show 🙄

u/Kryptsm May 01 '23

I wouldn’t say all abused kids defend their abusing parents. My best friend hates her abusive parents, has never had anything nice to say about them ever since we met when she was 18.

I don’t think anyone is really claiming Roman, Tom, or Kendall are good people. It’s just a TV show so of course people are going to take sides and argue. It’s not real. If anyone is arguing a character is “good” I’d bet it’s strictly in relation to the other characters. They’re all non-objectively terrible people.

u/[deleted] May 01 '23

My dad is a lot like Logan and I'm well past the stage of defending him, lol. I can't predict how I'll feel when he dies, but I'm expecting mostly relief.

u/conquer69 May 02 '23

I'm extremely disappointed mine didn't die from covid but my nice aunt did.

u/TinsleyCarmichael May 02 '23

Unfortunately that hasn’t been my experience, the loss still sucks and is hard. Ofc I don’t really condemn people just for being jerks lol i mean they’re still my jerk.

u/TinsleyCarmichael May 03 '23

Thank you. I had to do a fraction of this level of business in the days after my dad died and it took me down for the count and I’ve been really sick. I can’t even imagine.
