THOUGHTS?
So many!! I haven't had the chance to read the script yet in full, but I've been kind of obsessed with that line from Shiv about Kendall being addicted to sex since the episode aired, in no small part because he hasn't really seemed to be? If anything, it feels more like he's addicted to relationships with the way he flits between and clings to Rava, Jennifer and Naomi across the course of the show.
Roman's line about the nanny is especially fun to me on a few fronts though, as I feel like it snakes its way through a lot of the overall themes of the show around parenthood and staff and misplaced intimacy and sex. It's this sort of pinpointing of the way that the Roy's all view the staff as something they're entitled to, but also as something that's supposed to provide this degree of intimacy to them. It's even richer when you add into the fact that there's something inherently oedipal about a man and his nanny, and the way Shiv made those jokes in the finale about Roman and Caroline too before ultimately having Caroline metaphorically fuck them, is just - - yes. Poetic cinema, haha.
It's also interesting to me that Shiv's the one who tells Kendall he's addicted to sex when she's the one who's been shown to be most sexually inclined on the show, and Roman's the one to make the joke about trying to fuck the staff when he's been doing what he's doing with Gerri (and she's not his nanny, of course, but the oedipal territory of looking after him definitely feeds into that sort of dynamic too). It's making me think a lot about where their dysfunction overlaps, but that feels like a whole other post.

My favourite part of being on Tumblr is getting to observe other fandoms. I've never watched spn or bcs but watching the reactions to "bisexual misha collins - oh wait nevermind" roll out on the same night as whatever happened in the bcs episode (condolences) was truly an exhilarating experience. I feel like I'm living vicariously through all y'all without having to emotionally invest in 15 seasons of a CW show and it's amazing

I was going to talk shit about Logan being a shitty father and screwing over his kids for money. But he's always been a POS!
My issue is Tom fucking over Shiv in the season 3 finale.
Logan doesn't give a damn about you. He doesn't care about anyone but himself.
He's going to break you, just like he broke his own children.
