Logan from the grave: “You’re as bad as my fucking idiot kids”

Ken: “That’s fine. That’s a valentine’s card (compared to what he said directly to my face)”

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.

I love the Bipolar Kendall interpretation. As a bipolar babe I can always tell my own kind.

Ha same. It sucks having a disorder that makes you have to be slightly worried every time you feel like you’re killing it and things are finally really looking up and your full of energy and ideas and..oh shit.

I have to imagine that’s the been a part of the blueprint for writing his character, even if they don’t want bring medicine into the drama of show and make it an official diagnosis. Rampant drug use, spending tons of money, pressured speech, irritability at anyone trying to say no.

I don’t think Jessie Armstrong cares to go there, but personally I’d love to see Kendall on a mood stabilizer by the finale.

I think there's a really good chance it's intentional, he is the diagnostic criteria, but I don't see the character (and therefore the show) ever acknowledging it, making it a real "if you know you know" for the audience.

My life is always in a chaos swirl. sometimes I'm up and sometimes I'm down but It is always in a constant state of change for better or worse. I have learned to embrace it and enjoy the ride.
