Pretty sure most if not all of us can relate to that.

You know you're right. I mean the explosion situation was the obvious one, but the entire season not a single one of them mentioned their employees/workers. I'd imagine that was on purpose and is pretty standard procedure for people like them.


>Tom's a pretty great character though. i agree for the reasons
>you mentioned

Yea he was great. And also hysterical. Like I laughed at so many of his antics even though he is an awful person. Though I think he's far less awful than most other characters. Think the scene where Shiv disclosed her affair was what sold me, I was like "OK this dude's not *that* terrible" haha. You could feel the dude's soul being snatched, the actor (not sure his name) played that moment really really well.
