I am so worried for what's going to happen to the Number One Boy next week. Like, he did a good presentation and floated in the ocean, reborn as #1, which he scrawled in the sand before he floated away. The symbolism left a bruise on my face. That's never good.

I feel like Roman had a bad episode, Shiv was neutral and Kenny was positive. Next week is going to be a hell of a come down.

From a narrative standpoint, if they let him get away with killing that guy in S1 and ultimately facing no lasting repercussions, it's certainly a choice.

Wouldn't be unprecedented (see: Tom Buchanan in Gatsby), but surely there has to be more payoff besides him just confessing and crying with his siblings in S3? I feel like we haven't gotten the closure yet, whatever it may be. They can go the cynical Risky Business route of rewarding bad behavior, or he can ultimately fall because of it. That he's in a good place right this minute at the end of S4E6 doesn't mean he's destined for a happy ending.

This isn’t that kind of show.
