, there is a showdown that fans of the series have long been waiting for: the Roys meet the Pierces.
The show has been building up to this all season. In order to negotiate a purchase of a rival news network, Logan Roy brings his family to Tern Haven, the compound occupied by Nan Pierce and her family. The drama that ensues kind of plays out like the trope that involves every comic book superhero meeting their bizarro-world opposite, or like when the, it's the "bad" rich people meeting the "good" rich people . Every way the Roys behave, the Pierces behave the opposite.
The Roys are led by a patriarch, while the Pierces are clearly a matriarchy. The Roys operate a fiercely conservative media conglomerate, while the Pierces are more liberal. Logan Roy treats the staff at his estate like garbage, while Nan Pierce invites her cook to join the family for dinner. You get the picture, they could not be more different.
At the same time, there are similarities. Each family has its child in recovery working through addictions , a smart-ass child , an out-there granola child . This doubling is raucous to watch, like when a character believes themselves to be looking in a mirror, following the movement of whomever it is they see opposite them, until they touch hands and realize that's a real person over there.
But what if other HBO shows had an episode in which the main characters met alternate-universe, diametrically opposed, bizarro versions of themselves? What would that look like? Let's speculate those log lines for eight other series below.Tony and company step out for a typical evening at Bada Bing!, but Tony and Christopher have a run-in with an Irish crime family from Boston that has accidentally stumbled for some strip club shenanigans. Somebody's gotta get whacked by the end.
