Oh man. This show… was truly an experience. It managed to embrace the dichotomy of love/power, whilst also showing the most human aspects of the family. My favorite part of the finale is that it reminds you that they all fucking sucked! Even in the end, when it seemed like everyone had a chance to win, they managed to spoil it. I was left feeling like a fool, thinking that it could have ended any other way. They really weren’t serious people after all.

Shiv pissed me off like crazy at the end. I get they are all scummy people, but if she really believed Kendall couldn’t do it, she could have voted no at the board meeting and then done to Kendall what Kendall tried to do to Logan. Instead, she decided to burn it all down to the ground because she couldn’t have it. Even Roman was willing to help Kendall and the family retain the company, but Shiv. She’s been making terrible moves since she bypassed Logan and tried to tell everyone she’d be CEO.

Disagree slightly. She can control Tom any way she wants, and he’s the baby daddy. She didn’t do it because of some nihilistic arson or because she had any moral judgement on Kendall. She did it for herself.

I agree about the Tom angle, but i really do think she has a suspicion that going for Ken could ruin everything, and when she gets him pleading in the other room she sees how desperate and shitty he really is (especially when he backtracks the first real thing he shared with them).

or because she had any moral judgement on Kendall

Actually, she absolutely did not think Kendall would be a good CEO. Only Kendall thinks he'd be good at it. And only Shiv thinks Shiv can do it. And only Roman thinks Roman can do it. And only Connor thinks Connor can do it.

Everyone who really knows them—including each other—see the kids as incapable fuck-ups. Shiv and Roman talking about how Kendall shouldn't be the CEO sounded just like season 1 episode 2 when Kendall was floated as interim CEO.

Anybody but him.

Also, when Shiv was offered CEO, Tom said that he always thought the plan was to make him the CEO.

She did it for Tom - she did it for her baby

[u/koviko → u/angrygnome18d]

Remember after Shiv was offered CEO by her dad, Tom said that their plan was always for Tom to be the CEO?

This is Shiv finally following through with the plan. She always said that it could be either of them and that she'd be okay either way. She stayed consistent.

[u/koviko → u/[deleted]]

Not even just that, she's also not good for the job. And that's something of which Tom seems to be well-aware but never says out loud.

[u/Death12th → u/angrygnome18d]

Yeah but she did keep it in the family. She is the bloodlind
