Unhinged ATN story on the scroll at the bottom of the monitor: "I Smiled at her by the Photocopier - Now I'm Facing Chemical Castration" and below that on the crawl: "Tech giants plan to force America to eat lab-grown 'human meat'." Truly out there stuff. I know last season mentioned something about "Illegal transgender aliens crossing the border" or something like that, I need to check. They would have wasted their time if they didn't change that per episode!

This silblings prefer going down instead of seeing one of them shine

Grazita Müller

The series shows us now and then how in fact Logan and Kendall are similar to each other. Although they are so different in many aspects they also have similarities. And this could be the reason why Logan sees Kendall as a rival and a threat. So that’s maybe why Logan always puts him down.

Grazita Müller

Who do you think told Logan about the siblings being at Kendall‘s? 😏

Grazita Müller

I don't mean "kill" literally. More like business-wise

Franklin

I would like to hear more of Gustopher's thoughts. Looks like he's got a lot to say.🥰🐈

Alva

Agreed

Franklin

them being spooked by the donuts is such a good subtle way to show the influence and power he has over them. they felt his presence in the room, took the warning (threat), and backed down. i genuinely think they would've stood with kendall if not for the donuts (even if only for show, or to play both sides a bit). though irt roman, the combination of the building loyalty he has to gerri and the fear/loyalty he has to logan, i think he'd only fold to kendall if shiv and connor did first (and even then i think that would only last until the next time logan barked at him, anyway).

Elias

Oh, Kendall gets into this mode of Frantic self-righteous mania & becomes insufferable! I root for him, but damn he swings wildly from one mood to another. (relatable, but insufferable.) I think Shiv said it best. He is not good at maintaining a happy medium between idolizing Logan & wanting to kill him. Which is understandable, given how they were all raised . I really kind of adore Roman & Gerri’s relationship. They’re aligned & looking out for each other. Trying to move each other up. And I Love seeing Logan rattled trying to counter & defend against Kendall’s attack! Almost a complete reversal of the first 2 seasons!

Paris Hardy

Yeah I love kendall but I would never have been in his team in this episode

N

Connor is so often forgotten it makes me sad despite his many flaws lol

N

Spot on.

Melissa

I know that Connor is cringe and sometimes to the point of being unbearable, but I feel so much sympathy for him. Just the little bits we can piece together of his childhood, how he is treated by the family, his failure to really find a path in life . . . all of it. I don't really understand the Connor haters in the fandom. Yeah, he can be annoying and painfully deluded, but I don't see any of the cutting anger, hatred, or cruelty in him that I see come out in the other children. I really wonder what his mother was like. I know Logan had her put in an institution, but one wonders if that's actually what was necessary or if he used his power to get rid of her. What do the rest of you think?

Melissa

I don't see how joining up with Kendall is a win. He's never been anything but full of shit, no clue how to follow up on his grandiose notions of "doing the right thing". Hate to say it but in Shiv and Roman's shoes I'd stick with Logan too.

melskmelsk

I genuinely think that Roman called his father because he knew if he were to say those exact things, Logan would never choose him, he knows his father. Roman is so in love with Gerri but of course tries to mask it however he can. Roman wanted Gerri to be CEO I think. Also, I could NEVER stand Kendall XDD I know what he did was good right now, but just how he acts makes me crawl.

Oliver

Kendall in the cold open: "ACTION STATIONS!" Logan, slightly later in episode: "ACTION STATIONS!" So . . . I've posted several times that I'm an unapologetic Kendall stan. This point in the narrative is where I become an apologetic Kendall stan. 😂😂 He's so "high on his own supply" as they say. He truly seems like he might have bipolar identity disorder. I don't think that's the suggestion, but it is notable how he goes from these high highs to super low lows. "The Juice is Loose" I believe refers to OJ's football career. They called him The Juice, for obv reasons, and I think they probably talked about letting him loose on the field. Later, when he runs from the police in the infamous white Bronco chase, it takes on diff meaning. Man, the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman saturated the media for so long. I was in my 20s. I remember where I was during the white Bronco chase. I remember where I was when the verdict was read. Insanity. Injustice. 1:22:11 might be my favorite line delivery of the entire series: "We'll go FULL FUCKING BEAST!" I love it so much.

Melissa

I'm just curious, when you say "Let him die", are you joking, or do you think the kids should really take that approach?

Henry Parker

I've been watching two women, Diegesis, I think is the channel name, react to Arrested Development. It's so absurd and hilarious.

Melissa

love the parallels between Ken and Logan when Ken starts shitting on his siblings for bailing on his plan. He calls Connor "irrelevant" and Roman a "moron" and lectures Shiv about how important he and this plan is. Like father like son. Btw I love kendall but i can’t stand him in the second episode especially his sexist way of talking to Shiv at the end while pretending to do this for the victims

N

Shiv having Saddam Hussein as a picture for incoming calls with Logan is so telling man 😆 if only he knew how much his own kids actually hate him.

LtotheoG

I love Kendall, but he has the same bipolar energy of Kanye west. He’s either on a crazy high or crazy low. Also big mistake inviting Roman in there, he was never going to flip.

@FrankFreezy including anyone else interested. As many may know, I am first generation American, my family was freed by the Red Army in Norway. My mother gave birth to me here in Alaska. I have watched eight decades of machinations of my birth country and it’s long-term “allies.“ and how since the Industrial Revolution, this nation continued the work globally set out in the path of WW1 WW II going forward to present day. Franklin, this nation was built on the bones of many different indigenous nations on this continent in the largest genocide with the inclusion of internment camps known as reservations. There are many corporations and banks that took hold of the US 1913 was the largest turning point when taxes were enacted and the building of the Federal Reserve bank. Propaganda and the use of divide and conquer has unified both left and right political parties to control not just America but the world. There are two very important books that I always refer young people and those who have immigrated to the United States to read so they understand the landscape of the statement about to give. “The US is nothing more than a multinational corporation that masquerade as a nation.“ I stick by my statement. There are two venture capitalist companies that between them own $18 trillion of the US market. There will be nothing in your home that you do not touch that they have not at least 12% shares of the company who made it. These two companies are Vanguard and Blackrock. Multibillionaires contribute to both political parties so that no matter who wins they always win. Wars, national coups and US laws are created by these corporations and their subsidiaries. The two authors one is Annie Jacobson, an investigative journalist who wrote the book operation paper clip. If you don’t like reading, get the audio version. The book is much better because it has all the cross-referenced sources. The second author of a very, very long and important book is Whitney Webb, who while writing this book left our country for another and is in hiding to protect her two little children. Seeya is a investigative journalist and her book explodes open and has exploded open the Epstein issue where it started how it started who was involved, etc. many attempts on her life have been made yet. She’s never been sued by anyone for defamation. The book is called “ One nation under blackmail” we live in a world where NATO, the UN, the ICC, ICJ are so compromised that we cannot stop as a world movement the many ongoing genocides and wars. These organizations that were created after the second World War II hold accountable any nation for their crimes against humanity are no longer effective. Americans are taught very little of history and what history there is taught in our schools and universities has been white washed. There are two other books that should also be read 1984 and animal farm. These books are this generation is only hope for survival as we enter into an AI un reality. You cannot know your present without knowing your past. The only reason not just this administration, but the other administration as well feel so openly fragrant about their miss doings is because they believe we are already captured and there’s nothing more that we as the ants can do. I do not belong to a political party never have never will. I only vote locally city and state. I am an independent and I vote on a person’s record not their words. I worked to help bring rank choice voting to the state of Alaska. It took us almost 20 years, but we got it, we also worked hard and succeeded in getting citizen initiative ballots. This is how you can strengthen your state and help protect it. Federal law can only go so far and we’ll steam roll over state laws only as long as the people of those states do not do their diligence as a citizen to educate themselves on the process of their own state constitution and dedicate their time and effort to protect protecting all of the constitution of the United States. Prior to the US Supreme Court decision of citizens United, which allowed for corporations to be known as people and their money as speech. There was a supreme court case that proceeded it known as buck versus Vallejo, which opened the door for both parties to accept corporate money and dark money without any transparency. During the 2016 presidential run there was the DNC candidates, Bernie Sanders, and Hillary Clinton. When Hillary Clinton‘s campaign was caught interfering with Bernie Sanders campaign and she ended up running against Trump and losing there was a period of time where two young lawyers sued the DNC. Look it up under Google as “DNC fraud lawsuit.“ In the end, the DNC had to admit under court that not only did they cheat Bernie Sanders and his supporters, but that it was legal because the DNC/Democrats are not a political party. They are a corporation.“ The judge sided in favor of the DNC as they brought up their own proof that they indeed were not a political party, but they are a corporation. So in actuality, we have one political party that’s republican that goes up every four years and midterms against the DNC corporation. Act blue is who you would donate to if you were supporting a Democrat politician. We have more than two parties in the system, but between the Republicans and the Democrats they ensure that it was an imp possibility for the green party, Libertarians to run for office making it impossible for those two parties to ever win. We are not going to escape what’s coming by voting our way out of this system that has been created for over 112 years the best we can hope for is to understand that we’re living in a corporation that had our congress and Senate passed a law stating that corporations must by law increase their shareholders investment, each quarter or be fined. When they say the words, special interest, groups, lobbyist, foreign money by nations that have registered under FARA foreign agent registry act. This means other nations, write our laws other nations corporations write our laws. Not too many Americans know that many nations own land of our country. The West Coast mainly Japan for the fishing industry, not sure why we allow for China to purchase land around all of our military bases. Or that Bill Gates owns nine states worth of farming land. It’s long past time for all of us to stop fighting these petty red meat games that the top throw down to us to fight over so that we’re distracted from what they’re doing at the top. You can still Google this as well in the US is the Largest trafficker of human and children in the world. I am a free speech absolutist for I know what it’s like to not have the ability to speak at all. Both sides have been doing it red and blue and so many are triggered so easily into that. There was a small town in New York filled with holocaust survivors, and every year the KKK would come through in March and say the most cruel and ugliest things yet the Jewish people of this town stated they stood with the first amendment and as much as they despised what the KKK had to say, they decided with the first amendment that those ugly Vicious people have the right to say what they were saying. See it’s not the words that do the damage is those who act upon words with their free will. If you silence voices, then when the one small voice or group of small voice voices that comes through that have a better way of thinking, or a better argument against the ugliness, you have stifle their voice, and therefore stifle change and the power that the word held. There will be much to navigate in these next five and 10 years. It will be easy to blame one or the other when you’re in reality it has been both all along. They play us like a fiddle. They both are for more, both are for sanctions, which is just war by economic means. They are both for colonialism and most of all they are both for the Logans of the world where they are the masters of Logans. But if you really are interested in just one subject at all about Epstein Whitney Webb’s book “One nation under blackmail.” The next would be “Operation paper clip. “It is very germane to what we are experiencing now. it takes only 20% of any nations population to create a mighty change. We must focus and stop being sidelined by mainstream media propaganda, and the marionette shows they put in front of our face to distract us. There is a great ugliness coming it’s taking such deep root and last 70 years yet it is fragile at this very moment. This would be the time to do everything possible to work together as a nation by getting to know one another seeing our similarities, put aside our differences to obtain one goal and that is protect our constitution protect each other, not from each other, but from the Logans of the world that have corporate captured our country and all it’s mechanisms of power. Opensecrets.org will tell you who your Congress Senate mayor and governor take their money from. Go to your city meetings, go to your school council meetings, do everything in your power to ensure that you’re not trapped into a life of servitude and looking the other way as they round up those who for five or 10 years from now, don’t comply to that new administrations dictates. Understand that when one political group makes the law it stays on the books and the next political group can use it as a weapon against our own people. The worst thing that ever happened to the US in modern history was when we gave away our rights out of fear after 911 and we exploded the surveillance state not knowing that those walls were already written 15 years prior to 911. I don’t care if someone calls me a cook. The word, conspiracy theory or conspiracy theorist was created by the CIA so that when people tell the truth, even with proof during the cold war era, you were denounced as a communist or a fascist story, social, etc. now they wanna shut down discord they call you an antisemite or a right winger or extreme left and it works because I see online how folks use these weapons of words to shut each other down instead of having a debate that is civil wealth thought out and wins the day. You don’t like bad speech, don’t shut it down kill it with better speech. Sorry for rambling, but it had to be said or my brain would’ve exploded tonight. Love you all, but if we want a nation, we must fight for our nation, and we cannot be foot soldiers to the pools that are leading us on both sides of the aisle

Laura Thate

Just Have Money indeed. And OJ Simpson was called Juice by people. So "the Juice is loose" one of the many slogans pushed by his legal team, maybe also said more benignly during his football career

It’s the Prisoner’s Dilemma. They all want to do the right thing, and if they could all commit, they would all win together. The problem is, if any one of them says “no” to Ken, they get to be the king. They don’t have to share the power. So the best move is to wait for your siblings to commit to backing Ken and then betray them all. They all know it, so they can’t trust each other, so it’s impossible to team up. The solution to the Prisoner’s dilemma is to build trust and solidarity over time, to keep playing the game and learn from your failures and internalize that working together is the only way to win in the long term, that losing trust will kill your chances. Our Roy siblings keep hurting each other, they don’t have that trust. Maybe they can still build it, but they have to stop stabbing each other for that to happen.

Valaree

For all my fellow Arrested Development fans: Logan telling Rome “you stay on top of her” about Gerri… it’s giving Michael’s advice to his son about Maeby. “You stay on top of her, buddy. Do not be afraid to ride her. Hard.” 🤣

Valaree

Ken is so manic in this first episode. I imagine it’s actually pretty triggering for Rava, I don’t know if he’s actually high or just running on adrenaline, but it has to look a lot like a coke bender to her. I wonder what kind of bad experiences she has had with him in this mindset. You can see her trying to appease him to avoid setting him off despite the fact that she’s clearly uncomfortable with all the demands he’s making of her.

Valaree

Hey, in case you didn't notice, season 3 randomly has only 9 episodes. Just FYI.
