I’m curious if I will be right, that this show can only be resolved with the father dying either at Kendall’s hand or not, with Kendall in charge. At the end of the last season, Kendall had nearly completely broken down and was probably in the middle of a mental crisis. They went in to visit their father only to discover that he and his daughter’s husband had conspired, somehow — the machinations are mostly lost on me — to cut out the three kids forever.
But then this season started and all that seemed to be water under the bridge. The three kids are starting a new company called The 100 and as far as I could tell it was going to be a kind of Angie’s list or Yelp of the top 100 rated companies. But I’m not sure what it was or how they intended to make money from it. Shiv and her husband are in the middle of a divorce (they’re separated). The useless older one who was running for president and was afraid of the polls dropping him below 1% seems to think his future wife has left him.
Anyway, I’m only interested in seeing if I’m right. I’m not really interested in this family anymore. Power is power is power. It’s unrelenting. People who have it won’t give it up. People who lose it are forever trying to chase it and persuade it to return. I’ve never had power, that I know of. I’d like to think I’d never become as crazy as some of those Trump lunatics like Roger Stone or Steve Bannon or Rudy Guiliani.
