Chaos, intrigue, and subterfuge!
I cannot be alone in caring Not at All about the opening of the Brooklyn Bridge.
Dont you know moreimportantthings are happening, Show?
Get out of here with your bridge!
Oscar is the victim of a SWINDLER.
There never was a Casterbridge Pacific!
I will admit that I misjudged the direction this swindle would take.
Everyone was doing it, Oscar!
Wasnt there a Merchant Ivory film with some gay Italian subtext?
PlusDeath in Venice?).
But instead, everything is sad and this isnt fun anymore!
Why do you think I amwatchingthis show, Julian Fellowes?
I am watching it to see rich people wear ridiculous hats.
Whynotlook like you have a large mutated swan sitting backward on top of your head?
I hope Carrie Coon truly appreciated this opportunity.
Otherwise, the hats were fine.
They were probably all intimidated by the Swan Butt Hat.
This occurred in 1897 when United Mine Workers miners were killed by a sheriffs posse after going on strike.
Theres alsoan entire Wikipedia entryon worker deaths in U.S. labor disputes.
Its not all fun hats here on Vulture dot com!
We talk about other things!
(But mostly the hats.)
Cool, cool, cool.
I guess its salutary not to be overly sympathetic toward a legitimate robber baron?
So good on you, show, for reminding us where Georges priorities lie (with money).
His assistant, Patrick Page fromHadestown, is proud of his boss once again.
She and George talk about it in what I assume is her massive room because HER HAIR IS DOWN.
I could hearnothingin this scene because of how massively attracted I suddenly was to Carrie Coon.
I had to go back and watch it again.
Oh, and in a fun coincidence, this protest happened the very nightThe Gilded Agecastwas at the Met.
During all this, Peggy is trying to save Black-run schools from being shut down by the school board.
Peggy has an idea and its definitely Marian.
Shes not even a teacher!They had schools for teachers back then.
But whatever, here we are.
Dorothy is onto Peggy and Fortune, and she is not a fan.
Nor would I be, Mrs. Scott!
Blah, okay, here we go.
Reverend Luke has come and gone.
He was BUT A FLICKER OF SUNLIGHT in Adas life and now things are dim once more.
So this felt really par for the course for Ms. Nixon to me.
(Much more fun and super gay isWild Nights With Emily.)
Right, back to Reverend Lukes death.
It happens extremely quickly!
Larry and Marian get A Moment, and hopefully well move their relationship forward by the finale.
We all know its happening.
They go for a walk together, and that means maybe shell break up with Dashiell by next week.
As we close, where is Mrs. Winterton?
Maybe a thumbtack on Berthas chair.
We do sometimes get what we need, though, which is Bertha Russell with her hair down.
Did you hear about Oscar Van Rhijn?
Oh, thats not it?
Hes going to sit in his room and be sad?
Well, thats another option.
