It depends on what you consider “outskirts” because it does in fact look like that around 45 minutes outside of DC.

It’s so bad! Me too! I was just aghast that we were supposed to believe that Tate Donovan was Chris Evans’ dad, but then I realized he’s almost 60. When did that happen!?! This movie was originally supposed to star Scarlett Johansson, and I think she would have been much better suited for the role. Although the script was so weak, I doubt it would have helped much.

Ryan Murphy loves casting nepo babies too! Emma Roberts, Kaia Gerber, and Paris Jackson are all heavily in his rotation.

Yes, and while the battle by jetpack was cool to watch, all I could think about was whether they found the Imperial jet fuel stash to tap off of after spending so much time flying around Mandalore before they got there.

I wouldn't be surprised if one of his Force sensitive clones survived. Then again, we all speculated the worst for this episode, and it ended with Din relaxing on the porch while his son played happily in the front yard. Seriously. What a piece of junk! Maybe Grogu will rebuild it with proper Jedi finesse. Although all of Anakin's light saber hilts broke too, so...

If she can prove paternity, can she sue the estate for child support? How does that work when the parent is dead?

They have mentioned her a lot this season.

Agreed. Greg has been totally unnecessary the last two episodes. I fell like even the writers know it, since they had him penciled into Logan's wishes as a question mark.

Someone pointed out that Kendall Logan Roy has the initials "KLR"... Logan named him Killer.

She showed a lot of genuine devotion toward him while he was recovering from his stroke. I think all of her insistence that she and Logan spoke intimately every night, was more of keeping with the narrative of "the firm" than to hold onto her piece of the pie. She's legally his wife, I agree with you, had Logan wanted another arrangement, he would have quietly bought her out, but he didn't. Reap the benefit of your patience, Marcia!

Somebody noted that Marcia hadn’t seen Logan in 7 weeks, so it’s been at least 7 weeks since Caroline’s wedding. The other clue is Shiv’s pregnancy. She just got the results from her amnio, which is done around 14 weeks, at the earliest. Plus you have to subtract the two weeks from pregnancy, where you’re not actually pregnant, so if the baby is Tom’s and they conceived during their “I don’t even love you” sex, about 3-4 months have passed since the finale. I didn’t get the impression she was pregnant during season 3. I don’t think she would be so adamant about embryos if she were already pregnant, unless she was still in denial. Tom was actively trying to conceive before he went to prison, so maybe. It’s also possible that the baby isn’t his, which could stretch the timeline further. So the answer to your question is at minimum 7 weeks have passed, but more likely 3-4 months have passed, potentially more.

I thought the LA Obit said "84... we think" or something tongue and cheek along those lines. The gap between season 1 and 2 was a couple of days. Kendall barely had any time to dry out before they plucked him from rehab. And then the gap between season 2 and 3 was mere minutes, because we followed Kendall out of the press conference. The gap between season 3 and 4 has been the only one to have an appreciable shift in time, but not a huge amount, because the deal still hasn't closed.

According to the HBO Podcast, season 4 is going to be 10 consecutive days, with an episode covering each day. Vulture did an analysis, and it looks like approximately one year has passed between the Pilot and the season 4 premiere, since they both involve Logan's birthday.

I saw someone compare Din to Jon Snow, and I swear, if they give Bo-Katan the Daenerys "Mad Queen" arc, I'll riot.

Yeah, the fact we followed her off planet to the ship felt ominous. I don’t know if it was for suspense, since we knew the Imperials were after them, we just didn’t know when they’d show up. Plus the episode was called “The Spies” so I was waiting for a big betrayal. It felt nefarious. Okay, so I don’t ship Bo and Din, but I like that she’s basically adopted Grogu as well, and they’re both proud parents with different world views that have managed to compliment one another. I can see this show ending with them ruling together in some capacity, with Grogu as their heir. I wonder if the mentions of Thrawn is a warning that this show will crossover with Ahsoka, and whatever cliffhanger they establish at the end of this season will be neatly resolved in the middle of another show, a la The Book of Boba Fett.

I ended up watching the episode a second time, and there were so many extras in every scene with the kids openly talking about their father's health. When Kendall was on the roof demanding the best "Airplane Medicine Doctor in the World" the camera zoomed out to show there were wedding guests sitting a few feet away outside the frame. There was also a shot where Tom was finding a private spot to call Greg and there were a bunch of randos sitting in the back room. Press, maybe? People also make a hobby of listening to air traffic control towers and Flight Aware, so there may have been speculation of a plane requiring an emergency landing, and the change of Waystar's flight path. Basically, there were a ton of incidences where the news could have been leaked. The incident reminded me of when Carrie Fisher died, and the reports started to leak mid-flight (obviously it leaked quickly because it was a commercial flight with a lot more witnesses)

Shiv is always listed as Logan's youngest child and only daughter. I agree that Roman radiates "youngest child energy" but Shiv is younger (Sarah Snook is even 5 years younger than Kieren Culkin)

Sorry, Rhea (Holly Hunter)!

Tom is another long shot candidate. Logan told him he wouldn't forget when Tom was willing to be the fall guy for the Cruise controversy. Maybe he'll split his shares between Greg and Tom. I'm far more interested in the reading of the will than I am in the funeral. He did name Rhea as his successor at one point...

I don't think she was upset that Tom was grieving. I think Shiv wants to hate Tom, because they're estranged and she feels betrayed by him from last season's finale. She doesn't want for him to be kind or reasonable or a comforting presence during a vulnerable time, because she doesn't want to let her guard down and allow him the chance to pull one over her again. I thought the face she made when Tom said it was a "tough day" was more of a childish "how dare he be reasonable when I'm obviously lashing out" type of reaction, because she's conflicted about their relationship and testing him. Tom was doing everything right in this situation, and it bothered her because she wanted him to mess up so she could convince herself that she didn't need him. And then, by the end of the episode, she walked into his embrace and then went home with him because she realized she needed his support. Kendall and Greg were kind of close until Greg realized Kendall was a total train wreck, and Kendall dicked him over with that watch.

Just wait until Marcia comes back from Europe and tells her to eff off.

Emma Roberts is an executive producer on that show too!

I thought it was an interesting juxtaposition that highlighted that Connor is the only Roy child who wasn't living for his father's approval. The other three were carefully tightrope walking around the narrative of what their actions would do and how it would effect the company.

I'd group Haley Joel Osment with Elijah Wood and Daniel Radcliffe (and maybe even Josh Hutcherson) as actors who had major success at a young age, and then shifted into quirky, dark comedies.

I think I'm most excited for the reading of the will, so we can see how Logan dicked over his kids one last time. I mean, I don't think anyone would be surprised if they were disinherited, but what is the most spiteful move for distributing his shares?
