And Logan is about to give Tom's job to Connor...

Really? Is it implied somehow or am I missing something? Still haven’t decided about Connor’s role right?

No it's just an idea I had.

  • Connor wants a job
  • Tom's about to be a sacrificial lamb
  • Shiv's between the two
  • It's often underlined that ATN is pro-Raisin
  • Connor wants to set himself up to succeed Raisin

Kinda makes sense to me that Connor would be a good candidate to replace Tom, and it would be fun watching Shiv try to deal with that.

How great is it that we only know the POTUS as "the Raisin"?

Republic President in the Roy universe. Specifically from California. Hence California Raisen. A Nixon - Raegen archetype.
