I’ve never rewatched this show after the first watch. I hadn’t remembered that Logan had asked Rome to come with him, said he needed him. Rome was almost on the plane with him, and that’s wild to imagine.

Great to converse regarding the end of S3 twist. It was a clarification worth mentioning.
The show is somehow even more chaotic from this point on. Looking forward to watching it with you. Thanks!

Sobbed during this episode. Cry a little every time. When Sarah's voice breaks . . . Wow. Every reaction is so real to their character. It made me think a lot of losing my mom, though thankfully it wasn't so sudden. But this is one of the most realistic depictions of death I've seen, in that it does happen like this often. And no matter your relationship, it can hit like a Mack truck and turn you into a child again.
That being said, I shut off the TV and said aloud, "That may be the best hour of television I've ever seen."
But I like your closing comment, Val. I legit LOLed.

Amanda, yes on all of this. There's also the added burden of generational trauma that impacts your genetics. I've found the most help through EMDR, but I've had "major depressive disorder" since my 30s that ebbs and flows. I won't to into detail, but I understand your comment, and I see you.

Honestly I had the same reaction as Roman. I just couldn’t believe it! Kept waiting for him to just wake up and say sike, gotcha! They built him up as such a huge and powerful figure, it’s hard to believe he could just suddenly be gone like this.
Shoutout to Tom for being so kind in a moment like this, saying he doesn’t know if Logan’s dead when he can see damn well he’s on the floor not breathing, just so Shiv and the others get to say their goodbyes and believe there’s a chance they were heard.
Also the fact that they didn’t invite Connor until it was over is so ridiculous 😭 He’s the eldest son!!!

I've only watched the reaction to episode 2 so far, and I wanted to hop in and comment on what you were talking about towards the end about personal responsibility for healing trauma and not using it as an excuse. If you're very interested in trauma and healing, I full-throatedly recommend reading "The Deepest Well," a thorough primer on the impact of childhood drama on neurobiological structure and function as well as long-term mental and physical health effects. It gets pretty deep into the science while still being written for a layperson. One important takeaway is that sometimes, trauma experienced during childhood development causes physical changes to the nervous system that are permanent and irreversible, and the most effective current treatments for this kind of damage are mitigating at best and completely inaccessible to vast swaths of the affected population. Unfortunately, even when mental healthcare is available it is rarely the specialized type necessary to treat these kinds of cases.
[I feel the need to jump on my soapbox about this, because at age 45 I'm still learning what kind of treatment would be necessary to make significant progress for me. Even though I am a biologist, highly educated on the subject, and have been in active pharmaceutical and therapeutic care for almost three decades, my mental health conditions are considered to be completely disabling across multiple diagnostic categories. My situation is not uncommon, and unfortunately taking responsibility for myself cannot change that I effectively have permanent brain damage.]

Connor’s Wedding is brutal, makes me cry every time. The crazy thing is, I hate Logan’s guts. But empathy for the kids (and that amazing acting) gets me every time.
Reminds me of when my grandpa passed away. I’m a big crier but I was holding my shit together for the funeral by sheer force of will… until I saw my dad tearing up. That’s the thing that broke me.
Anyway, hate this episode, 10/10.

Go to his page and type Succession in the search bar. He may not have organized season 3 into a folder, but all the reactions are there.

Franklin I want to watch this but I missed several episodes in August while I’m in the hospital and I went to the folder for succession and there’s nothing past July. Is there season 3 going to be an update for all of August?

Goddddddds. I binged all of Succession in like 2 weeks and Connor’s Wedding was the first episode I watched live. as it was airing. I literally didnt even believe he was actually dead until they carried his body off the plane💀 Genuinely will never experience another viewing high like that in my life. And Twitter that day was monumental fr.
I think another layer to Connor’s immediate reaction of “Oh man he never even liked me.” and then saying “he did. he did” once he saw the way Shiv and Kendall reacted. like almost like he wanted to comfort THEM. I think Connor is always trying to mediate and protect/validate their feelings because his never were and by him letting slip how he felt about their dad as he was dying probably felt to him like he was invalidating their grief or making them feel guilty so he quickly corrects it. ough. I have a lot of feelings about Connor.
Also the title being “Connor’s Wedding” is really funny when you know the MCU lore about how the cast were told they were filming a wedding but it actually turned out to be a funeral. and just also the fact that every aspect of Connor’s life is overshadowed and ignored so why would expect his wedding to be about him?????
