I saw someone compare tom to being a hybrid of Peyton Manning and Brendan Fraser and I honestly haven't been able to take him seriously since haha. seriously though, i only like him when he gets serious for a minute like the "pour it back in the bottle" scene or when he pushed greg around while out for a run before the wedding. but i get that him being a doofus is what allows the payoff when he gets serious.

did i notice the girl working for Stewie and Kendall was the one Logan fired with the lot when they tried the hostile takeover? pretty much any underling -- save for my girl J Smith Cameron/Gerri -- basically get no attention from the Roys.

yeah these people are ruthless. they dont care about anyone. they abuse anyone they can. they pay off the waiter for getting abused and he ends up dead cause even Kendall abuses him.

i liked the episode where he takes greg around to show him how great being rich is. it helped the audience remember that they're not rooting for this guy to succeed/not get cheated on by shiv. he's just as bad as the Roys. They were born into it. He WANTS it. He doesn't love Shiv anymore than she doesn't love him. He swallows his own seed the second he gets a chance in "Prague"
