We still don\u2019t have the answer \u2014 we still don\u2019t know who will fulfill the \u201cpromise in the title\u201d \u2014 but at the very least, the position is officially open.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    That\u2019s right: the king is dead.

In so doing, Logan would all but certainly miss out on his eldest son Connor\u2019s (Alan Ruck) titular wedding. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    It was a perfect recipe for another classic entry in the pantheon of <em>Succession <\/em>wedding episodes. Still, stacked against Kendall Roy\u2019s (Jeremy Strong) fateful car accident at Shiv\u2019s (Sarah Snook) wedding, and the Roy siblings\u2019 resounding defeat against their dad at their mom\u2019s wedding, \u201cConnor\u2019s Wedding\u201d would have to kill a main character in order to live up to its disastrous predecessors. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    Of course, that\u2019s exactly what h<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ened.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    The episode begins the morning after Logan and Roman\u2019s meeting. Roman isn\u2019t joining Logan on the <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/trip-and-travel\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"10\" title=\"Trip &amp; Travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">trip<\/a> to Sweden to meet with Mattson (Alexander Skarsg\u00e5rd) and repair the deal, opting instead to attend his brother\u2019s wedding. As a punishment, or perhaps a test of loyalty, Logan tasks Roman with firing Gerri (J. Smith-Cameron). Roman initiates that conversation, then leaves an angry, wounded voicemail for his father.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    For his part, Logan\u2019s already on the plane when the voicemail comes through, and we never see if he hears it. Before the opening credits roll, Logan hops on his private jet, offering up these final words: \u201cClean out the stalls, strategic refocus. A bit more fucking aggressive.\u201d We never see him alive again.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    As the Roy siblings mix and mingle at Connor\u2019s nautical wedding, Tom (Matthew Macfadyen) calls in to Shiv at first, and then Roman when she doesn\u2019t pick up, to deliver the <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a>: Logan was found in the jet\u2019s bathroom in bad condition, chest compressions have begun, and it does not look good. Tom holds the phone to Logan\u2019s ear as Rome and Kendall say what could very well be (and turn out to be) their final words to their father. They eventually find Shiv who gets to say her complicated goodbyes, too, but Connor isn\u2019t found in time to offer up a farewell. Yet another way in which Connor\u2019s father abandons him, even on his special day.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    The remainder of the episode plays out between air and sea, as Logan\u2019s colleagues strategize next moves, while Logan\u2019s children do the same, all of them navigating the complex emotions. (For his part, Roman doesn\u2019t initially believe their father\u2019s dead, and at worst, fears he may have killed him with his voicemail.) The hour ends with Shiv leading her siblings in a public statement, the authorities removing Logan\u2019s body from the jet, and Kendall tearfully watching them take his dad away.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"heading larva \/\/   lrv-a-font-accent-l   \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Crafting_Logans_Death\"><\/span>Crafting Logan\u2019s Death<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    HBO\u2019s behind-the-episode featurette details the filming of \u201cConnor\u2019s Wedding,\u201d an arduous task for the actors who had to dig deep into their emotional reserves. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    \u201cWhen Jesse told me that was going to happen, I wasn\u2019t totally surprised. I thought it made sense dramaturgically. And then when I read the script, I found it shocking and emotionally devastating,\u201d Strong says in the post-episode interview. \u201cTime and time again I\u2019m given something where I think it\u2019s the limit of what I\u2019m capable of as an actor. Here\u2019s my wall. And then you have no choice but to go through that. And this episode was one of those.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    According to Culkin, much of the episode was shot in a nearly-unbroken take, even if not presented that way. Director Mark Mylod reveals in the behind-the-episode feature that since the series shoots on film and can only shoot for 10 minutes at a time, production had to hide reels of film throughout the set for quick changes. The result was something akin to a one-act play, according to the actors.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    Looking past production, Armstrong, who wrote the episode, clarifies the reason for killing Logan so early in the final season: \u201cThere\u2019s a couple of factors in where Logan\u2019s death falls in our narrative trajectory. One is a sort of base one, that maybe it will surprise people. I am not immune from such thoughts as wanting to keep the show exciting and fresh. I think much more prominent was the feeling that if we do this, we don\u2019t want to see people crying, have a funeral, and be done with the show. We want to see how a death of someone significant rebounds around a family.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    For his part, Cox was surprised and disappointed to see Logan die at this juncture, and thinks the audience will struggle with the twist: \u201cI feel they\u2019re gonna find it tough. They\u2019ve lived with Logan for so long. They\u2019re going to miss him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    According to Cox, we may not have seen the last of Logan after all, based on what he tells <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.vulture.com\/article\/brian-cox-succession-interview-logan-death.html\">Vulture<\/a>: \u201cI do pop back and I have a couple scenes later on, which is flashback stuff.\u201d But flashbacks are certainly no substitute for an actively volatile Logan Roy.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"heading larva \/\/   lrv-a-font-accent-l   \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Life_After_Death\"><\/span>Life After Death<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    Logan Roy dying with seven episodes left in <em>Succession<\/em>\u2019s final season\u2026 yeah, it\u2019s an HBO death, alright. One that fits comfortably alongside the grand tradition of shocking, out-of-nowhere HBO deaths, from your unexpected protagonist beheadings to other main characters placed six feet under with multiple final season episodes remaining. Logan\u2019s death comes out of nowhere, just as the Sunday night viewing faithful should expect at this point.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    In the im<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">media<\/a>te aftermath of the episode, it\u2019s difficult to imagine <em>Succession <\/em>continuing without Logan Roy. In some ways, we don\u2019t have to. Even in death, Logan stands to loom large over Kendall, Shiv, Roman, Connor and the rest of the extended Roy universe in the following ways:\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    \u2022 Kendall\u2019s rollercoaster relationship with his father hit its height in season two, and came crashing down swiftly in season three. The last time they interacted one-on-one, Logan viciously mocked Kendall over a plate of potentially poisonous mozzarella. \u201cI\u2019ll be broken when you die,\u201d Kendall told his father in that scene. More recently, Kendall highlighted the thin line between teacher and tormentor for Logan Roy. If the past three seasons and change were the story of Kendall becoming \u201ca killer,\u201d then Logan\u2019s death may finally be the thing that gives him permission to become more like his father. Whatever\u2019s ahead for Ken, it\u2019s going to be bleak, based on what Strong recently told <em>THR<\/em><em>:<\/em> \u201cJust when I thought I couldn\u2019t go any lower, enter season four.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    \u2022\u00a0Tom was Logan\u2019s closest confidant right up until his death, granting him unique insight into the late Waystar king\u2019s dealings in his final days. Whether he can wield that information is another question entirely. One also wonders how this impacts Tom and Shiv\u2019s relationship. Given Tom\u2019s proximity to Logan, will Shiv reconsider a reunion in order to secure her own power base, should she want to make a run at the crumbling empire?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    \u2022 Logan spent at least some of his last night on Earth with Roman, telling him, \u201cYou\u2019re not Pearce,\u201d and making it clear that he needed Romulus for his vision of ATN\u2019s future. Rome was the last of the Roy kids to talk to Logan, both in real-time, and in the form of a final voicemail \u2014 one that Roman fears may have killed his father. A hard notion to carry forward through the rest of the series.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    \u2022 For presidential hopeful and grieving groom Connor, who has been so worried about holding onto the one percent of the voting public\u2019s support, the death of his father will grant him exactly that: a seat at the table, if not a reasonable chance at election. Still, taking out a greater slice of political pie could sway the election one way or the other. \u201cPresident Connor\u201d still feels like an unlikely outcome, and yet, Logan\u2019s death makes it feel just a little likelier.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    \u2022\u00a0Those paths forward for the Roy children don\u2019t even address the other characters impacted by Logan\u2019s death, from Gerri to Karl to Hugo and everyone else in the inner circle, now likely to make their mad dash for power without fear of reprisal from the Mad King Roy. Other secret-keepers will come calling with skeleton keys in hand, too, from Kerry to Marcia and far beyond.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    \u2022\u00a0There\u2019s still so much back story about Logan we don\u2019t know, including the story of his literal back, and how he got those scars. Even in death, Logan\u2019s life stands ready for further examination, with surviving brother Ewan still around to shed some light on their childhood. Whatever happened to their sister Rose? We can still get those answers, even with Logan gone.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    \u2022\u00a0And is Logan even really gone if his ghost will hang so heavily over the remaining cast? And what are his children if not the man\u2019s living legacy? <em>And<\/em>, what about the possibility of a fifth child? Theories surrounding Logan pursuing another successor date back at least to the season three finale, what with his fertility-enhancing smoothies. Don\u2019t lose that Baby Logan theory\u2019s number just yet.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    In any event, with seven hours of <em>Succession <\/em>still remaining, it\u2019s clear that Armstrong and the team wanted plenty of room to explore the core characters without Logan literally looming over everything. <em>Spiritually<\/em> looming, on the other hand? That\u2019s another matter.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    Regardless of what comes next, Logan\u2019s death feels like an act of karma within the <em>Succession <\/em>universe, at least to an extent. In the first episode of the whole series, Logan suffered a catastrophic stroke while on a helicopter. Here, he doesn\u2019t make it out of a second airborne medical crisis alive. In fact, the very first scene of the series is Logan suffering from a bathroom-related malfunction, which is where his life ends. Further, Logan\u2019s last year was marked by a company cruise scandal. In the end, he dies the same day as Connor\u2019s nautical wedding, his children helpless on a boat. Death and water have long been companions on <em>Succession<\/em>, and here, they meet again under the harshest circumstances.<\/p>\n<div class=\"post-content-image \/\/  \">\n<figure class=\"o-figure   size-large alignnone lrv-u-max-width-100p\" style=\"width:100%; max-width:1296px;\">\n<div class=\"c-lazy-image  \">\n<div class=\"lrv-a-crop-16x9\" style=\"padding-bottom:calc((730\/1296)*100%);\">\n<p>                        <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"c-lazy-image__img lrv-u-background-color-grey-lightest lrv-u-width-100p lrv-u-display-block lrv-u-height-auto\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/brian-cox-1-H-2023.jpg?w=1296\" alt=\"Brian Cox in Succession\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/brian-cox-1-H-2023.jpg 1296w, https:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/brian-cox-1-H-2023.jpg?resize=125,70 125w, https:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/brian-cox-1-H-2023.jpg?resize=681,383 681w, https:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/brian-cox-1-H-2023.jpg?resize=450,253 450w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"\" height=\"730\" width=\"1296\" decoding=\"\"\/><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div><figcaption class=\"c-figcaption  lrv-u-padding-tb-025\"><span class=\"a-font-secondary-s lrv-u-margin-r-025\">Brian Cox in <em>Succession<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                                    <cite class=\"a-font-accent-uppercase-xs lrv-u-color-grey-dark\">Courtesy of HBO<\/cite><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"heading larva \/\/   lrv-a-font-accent-l   \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%E2%80%9CAll_Fathers_Are_Mythical%E2%80%9D\"><\/span>\u201cAll Fathers Are Mythical\u201d<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    In the wake of his character\u2019s death, many of Cox\u2019s comments about Logan Roy\u2019s end<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a> take on new meaning. Speaking with <em>The Hollywood Reporter <\/em>ahead of the final season premiere, Cox remarked on many facets of Logan\u2019s interiority his surviving circle will be left wondering about for the rest of their lives, let alone the rest of the series.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    \u201cHe just wants one of these children to be good and step up to the plate and take on the business, a very simple thing,\u201d Cox told <em>THR<\/em>. \u201cHe\u2019s just looking for a successor.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    According to Cox, the actor believes Logan authentically wanted to select Shiv as his successor back in season two, but ultimately couldn\u2019t pull the trigger: \u201cSiobhan [couldn\u2019t] get away from who she is, because of her insecurities.\u201d Cox thinks Logan never felt Kendall was up for the job, either: \u201cHe\u2019s quite a sad figure, Kendall is, because he\u2019s sort of like a walking disappointment, and that\u2019s very galling to have somebody who walks into the room and is immediately disappointed and brings disappointment with them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    These are harsh assessments from Cox toward his fictional children, but what about Logan\u2019s own role in raising them? Did he understand his responsibility for molding Kendall, Shiv, Roman and Connor into the broken figures viewers have known for the past four seasons? Cox believes the late Logan Roy was \u201csensible enough to realize that he has to have a hand in their development as a father,\u201d but that his own absences due to work kept him from seeing the full impact of his neglect.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    \u201cAll fathers are mythical,\u201d said Cox. \u201cIt\u2019s very hard to live up to a mythical father, you know? That\u2019s tough. It\u2019s tough for anybody. Logan\u2019s got that problem himself, and the kids have got it in big numbers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    Beyond leaving them with the question of succession, Logan leaves his kids with an even heavier doubt: did he ever love them? For Cox, at least, the answer is \u201cyes,\u201d even if it\u2019s not a <em>clear<\/em> yes: \u201cThat\u2019s Logan\u2019s problem: He loves his kids. It\u2019d be a lot happier if he didn\u2019t love these kids. \u2026 It\u2019s not something he understands. It\u2019s something that is very private to him. He\u2019s not an emotional man in that way. He doesn\u2019t wear his heart on his sleeve or anything like that. He might actually be a lot healthier if he did wear his heart on his sleeve a bit. But he doesn\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    How will the surviving Roys move forward in the wake of their father\u2019s death? It\u2019s a question the seven remaining episodes will answer as we bid farewell to the mythical father of <em>Succession<\/em>. Rest in peace, Logan Roy \u2014 or, as Kendall might eulogize: \u201cR to the IP.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    <em>Rick Porter contributed to this story.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script type=\"text\/plain\" class=\"optanon-category-C0004\">\n!function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\nif (f.fbq) return;\nn = f.fbq = function() {n.callMethod ? n.callMethod.apply(n, arguments) : n.queue.push(arguments);};\nif (!f._fbq) f._fbq = n;\nn.push = n;\nn.loaded = !0;\nn.version = '2.0';\nn.queue = [];\nt = b.createElement(e);\nt.async = !0;\nt.src = v;\ns = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\ns.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n}(window, document, 'script', 'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\nfbq('init', '352999048212581');\nfbq('track', 'PageView');\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
