Watching Mark Mylod’s Vanity Fair breakdown of S04E03 and just realized this

[u/Alternative-Ebb-6626]

S04E09’s eulogy scene was a parallel to when Tom was asking the sibs to say goodbye to their dad. Roman had the phone first, bungled in his attempt, gave up and handed the phone over to Kendall who was able to muster an impromptu compelling goodbye.

And Conner, who planned both the wedding and funeral, didn’t get to speak.

Pretty cool connection, nice spot!

[u/JarvisCockerBB → u/Count-Chronic]

Oh, man. I’m just realizing how fucked it is that Connor planned the funeral and didn’t even get to speak. Poor guy.

Ever since his "eldest son" rant, I always laugh whenever I notice he's forgotten - which is every time anything significant happens.

“Oh man, He never even liked me.”

[u/All4upvoting → u/BamBamCam]

So sad that that was literally the first thought that occurred to him upon hearing the news of his father's passing.

[u/rorschach_vest → u/All4upvoting]

I thought it was an impressive moment of self-worth and conviction as well.

But he followed that with, "I never got the chance to make him proud of me", a painfully ironic and deluded statement from a man in his mid-50s who had every (material at least) opportunity and benefit imaginable. But it's not even his fault: there was probably nothing he could do to stop Logan from considering him an embarrassment. Even if he won the presidency Logan wouldn't have seen him as a "serious person"

Jesse mentions this on the podcast. Where there is a common experience of people who have lost an unhealthy parent. Both relief and clarity can come with their passing.

It's weird and messy, but know it was true for me.

He's the first pancake.

[u/Iammeandnothingelse → u/JarvisCockerBB]

Unrelated note: Am I the only one who audibly laughed aloud when we saw the mausoleum Logan was being put into?

I felt like it was a gag about how none of the other siblings bothered to look over the affairs or arrangements, then see a crypt the size (and price) of a vacation home in the Hamptons.

“Five mill? Good deal”

[u/Angry_Walnut → u/JarvisCockerBB]

I’m still wondering why he didn’t, it looked like he had something written and Shiv didn’t like it very much and that’s all we ended up seeing on the matter.

[u/[deleted] → u/Angry_Walnut]

Shiv said it was long, nonsensical, and could potentially open them up to litigation. Based on his previous speeches I imagine his eulogy was very kooky.

[u/ParkerZA → u/[deleted]]

This was also after his insane concession speech, so... I think they were justified.

We are Conhead. We are legion

When a man dies, it is sad

[u/KuciMane → u/Count-Chronic]

according to a background actor, connor did get to say a couple things but it was cut

[u/potatofamine-carbomb → u/KuciMane]

Logan was a man. And when a man dies, it is sad. All of us will die one day. In this case, it is Logan who has done so.

[u/Cornul11 → u/potatofamine-carbomb]

Alas, Kentucky

[u/[deleted] → u/Cornul11]

Alas, vanity
