For anyone who has experienced loss in the digital age, the shocking moment hit particularly hard. Warning: Spoilers ahead for Season 4, Episode 3 of ‘Succession.’
, an instant classic in which series anchor and media titan Logan Roy dies abruptly on an airplane, made so much sense.
Then, in the third episode of season four, “Connor’s Wedding”, Roman answers a phone call from his estranged brother-in-law, Tom Wambsgans. The kids are at their older brother’s wedding—on a boat set to depart for the Statue of Liberty, where the ceremony will occur—in a quiet room. Logan is on a plane, en route to Sweden, missing his oldest son’s big day to attempt a money squeeze out of the deal with Lukas Matsson and Swedish tech giant GoJo.
Like everything that happens in both the Roys’ lives and our own, death almost never comes at a convenient time. There are no certified medical personnel on board, delaying the meeting with GoJo could ruin the deal and the entire family is currently drowning in dysfunction and infighting.
The only major character death in television history that struck me this way was another one of the all-time greats: Omar Little inA man seemingly immortal in gun battles, suddenly snuffed out from a single bullet to the back of the head in a nondescript corner store. The uncomfortable reality of death burrows a bit deeper in your soul when it feels this real.
