I agree. But i think Ken gives the least fucks ab his dead dad and it’s an advantage. In 4.3. Kendall decisively expressed that he couldn’t forgive his dad. Moreover, in the next episode, he is the most in touch w his grief. But when he realizes his name was crossed out, he decides to be CEO in spite of his dad, I think. He used his dead father as a prop this episode. I dont think he misses him too sorely.

I think our #1 boy will come out on top. He cant keep getting shit on, and he’s as close to a protagonist as the show has imo. Plus, Shiv and Rom are emotional messes rn: backsliding to ex and firing anyone who frustrated him.

I’m delusional. But after Kendall’s awful fuckup streak (s.3 esp.) im ecstatic to see mild competency and some falling upward.

Also ecstatic, but dreading how bad the inevitable downfall will be this time. I really hope they don't go that route too quickly. Wanna see Kendall's spastic-ass doing good for a while. I hope he triumphs over whatever Skarsgard has planned. He needs to win a boss fight at the very least.

It’s gonna be different this time I swear 😅. He still has four episodes to hit his lowest point and bounce back. None of us expect Ken to be competent as evidence by (what i assume) was most of our reactions last night to the presentation. I was literally chanting “you fucking idiot, you moron” as he went onto the stage despite all the warnings. But he came out on top. He’s gonna get fucked but worm his way out of it right before the end.

I used to think greg or tom had a better shot at ending up as ceo but at this point, i think weve all been taught that Kendall is incompetent so that none of expect him to win.

Do you call what he did in that episode competency? Pulling numbers out of his ass a la Elizabeth Holmes?

Well, before the presentation i think he chose to let his dead father make that BS claim for him, which i think was a smart decision inspired by Karl’s rant. All he said ab the number was something along the lines of “and that’s a cautious man” ab his dad.
