you know it's bad when Roman is the voice of reason

I love the language Roman used, "Because I don't want to. It makes me feel unwell." This is a great phrase for all of us to adopt in our everyday life when we feel uncomfortable and someone pressures us to do things we don't want to do/don't believe in.

@@mattb2704 Idk if I'd say it's because of "family members" more so than it's that he loves his brother (Ken), even when it's not easy. Ken struggles, a lot. But despite it, Roman's always somehow been on his side, especially during the big moments. When he starts to raise his hand during the vote of no confidence in S1 and only retracts/backs down because Logan intimidated him; when he picked up his brother at the drug den in S1; when he was deeply shocked about Logan throwing all the blame on Ken at the end of S2; when he brought back desserts for Ken from Europe in S3; not wanting to sign this damaging letter for Shiv in S3. I'd love to know more about their brotherhood, but I think Ken might be the sibling Roman looks up most to.

This makes me feel happy because Ken jumped up at Roman’s defense when Logan’s pimp hand slipped. I feel like this is Roman repaying his bro for that lol

This really shows the brotherhood and bond between the brothers result of Logan's physical and mental abuse on them through their entire lives. Kendall, Connor and Roman have memories of enduring hard times together. Shiv never needed to be tough because she is the only daugther and the soft spot of their father. She never was abused like her brothers, that is why she can be ruthless without facing remorse.

Roman and Connor still love Kendall as a brother and feel there's a line they can't cross, but Shiv is so far gone at this point that she'll willfully destroy Kendall's life just to get back at him for a stunt.

In a way we kind of relate to the characters because they are acted and written in such a natural way, yet once I started to think about this scene it really rubbed me the wrong way. Not only is Shiv willing to publically ruin Ken's reputation, but the brothers do absolutely nothing about it besides washing their hands of the whole thing.
