The Roy family falls into king making. This was one of my favorite episodes ever-possibly because it falls into confirmation bias for me personally: the rich and powerful choose our leaders, not the people.
This was a beautiful episode fraught with conflict, showing the crushed veneer that is idealists (Shiv), the coke fueled king making rambles (Roman and the new Stooge), the entitlement of the affluent (Connor), the clawing desperation for autonomy of a Lion's cub (Kendall), the fragility of maimed men (Tom), reeking opportunism (Greg), and the brooding resiliency of Titans (Logan).
This series is here to show you that no political stance, no idealistic approach and certainly no single man is a bulwark...besides the owners of our information; Logan is our American God and we made him and enabled him. Armstrong isn't going to make you like it or forget it. He's embarrassed of you, all of those around him and himself for letting these Priests in the nursery.
If you don't understand that you are a mockery as well as the rest of our plight, then you are part of the problem.
This was brilliant writing that made a filler episode a marvel while still managing and pushing the plot forward. I never give 10's (and it's not like my opinion even matters), but this is first 10 in TV since DARK's series closer and Succession's Season 2 finale.
10/10 Stars.
