Conner's Comment's about the CORPSE: Is Logan really DEAD???


CONNER: “The weird thing is how much he’s not there. I find that consoling.”

Anyone else notice how strange it is that we never actually witnessed the death of Logan (other than seeing that VERY BRIEF less than a second chest compression scene) and basically only HEARD about how he dies rather than SAW it happening???

Then neither SHIV nor Kendal wants to view his body or visit the Funeral Home.

Plus Logan was also supposed to be on his way to visit the SWEDE when he disappears, because uncharacteristically he'd also first apologized to his kids (which he'd never done before) and BEGGED them not to interfere with his plans for the MATSSON MERGER.

So is it possible he may have FAKED his own death as a way to get his way???

Perhaps at some point we'll see some kind of a "MIRACULOUS RESURRECTION" happening, at which time Logan will also have a $hit Load of reasons by then as to why NONE of the kids are good enough to run the company (which they're also about to ruin with the way that they constantly keep BACKSTABBING each other)???

Thus the reason for the strange remark that Conner made about how LOGAN "isn't really there" in reference to his corpse??

It would be very compelling, but I don't think they can get away with it in the ear of podcasting or whatever you call those mini-documentaries after each episode where the writers and the stars opine about the plot. The lead writer, Brian Cox, and really all of them made some pretty definitive comments about this being the end of the Logan Roy character. They would have all had to be in cahoots to lie to their audience if they end up bringing Logan back as you describe. Soaps used to do this kind of thing all the time. Dallas was especially famous (or infamous) for it. But they didn't have the stars talking about the plot right after the show as they do now. And if the stars knew how the future episodes were going to play out, in interviews, they either didn't admit it or gave very cryptic answers.

Thank you very much for posting to this topic.

And even though Everything you've said makes sense, I'm still thinking LOGAN is the one who's told LUKAS what to do as a way to get his kids out of the way.

Here's what was posted back to you over on the other topic:

... it's also VERY ODD how EBBA was so willing to SPILL the BEANS about INDIA (which also makes one suspect (LUKAS) LIED to Shiv about sending the BLOOD & then got EBBA to LIE to her brothers about INDIA).

And that might also be cas LOGAN's put LUKAS up to what he's doing, due to the way that we also heard LOGAN telling his kids how badly he needed the MERGER. So perhaps LOGAN FAKES his death while he's supposedly on his way to visit Lukas, and what's happening now is LOGAN telling Lukas what to do and say to his kids as a way to prove them UNFIT to run the company???

Then maybe LOGAN can confess that he's still alive, have the BOARD get rid of his INCOMPETENT kids, and then proceed to MERGE his company with the other one the way that he wanted to do all along, but couldn't cas of them???


PLUS CONNOR also made still another VERY STRANGE COMMENT about how his father WOKE UP on the WRONG SIDE of the COFFIN.

So it's also almost like the WRITERS are HITTING US over the head with these HINTS from CONNER that Logan's Death has all been a BIG HOAX on the part of LOGAN???

That would probably also mean TOM's also in on it as well (unless Logan also fooled him as well ... maybe by getting actors to play the part of EMT's or something)???

Who was supposed to be doing the chest compressions? And then TOM also gets ALL of the kids to talk to LOGAN while that's happening, and TOM also HOLDS the PHONE next to Logan's ear???

Surely professionals also wouldn't allow Tom to be there in their way while they were attempting to save Logan's life???

🤔🤔🤔

Also found this article where the ACTOR who plays Logan shows up for his own FUNERAL & he also admits that it wasn't him that we see in the COMPRESSION scene:

The way that things are so carefully worded could definitely indicate Logan's FAKED his own death.
