The Gilded Age (New Julian Fellows HBO Drama)

[PercyPig]

Oh Ada getting proposed to. Wtf. I feel like he’s scheming for her money.

 

[PercyPig]

Also I can’t believe we got a full description of how a clock alarm works. Like can the downstairs not be a bit more scheming please. Start idolising Enid and become “companions”. Whatever the fuck that is? Like some kind of rent-a-lesbian?

I think the BEE is a clue. What kind of cheap ass priest gets his favourite spinster flowers from the wilderness instead of a nice, almost artificial bouquet from a Ms Astor certified flower boutique?

 

[Lucille]

On the subject of the TEDIOUS SERVANTS, I can’t believe we are STILL on the bald servant storyline! No one cares if you go to SAN FRANCISCO, no one cares if you LIVE OR DIE, get off my screen with this BORING ROT!

 

[Lucille]

Hearing a lot of talk on twitter that the newest episode is all about SOUP and honestly I couldn’t be more excited.

 

[RaspberrySwirl]

Just when we thought we couldn’t hate that insufferable bald servant. I can’t believe how they ruined that soup subplot (and why was the cook allowed to stay in the kitchen after they had caught him?). What a shitshow!

 

[Lucille]

Poor Peggy, she hides in the barn after being chased by racists AND gets fresh with the sexy newspaper editor, yet it’s still nowhere near as tense as the SOUP SCENE, or as thrilling as Aunt Agnes WALKING INTO CHURCH!

 

[Lucille]

But yes I simply MUST see the evil servant girl get her revenge.

 

[Lucille]

The clock sub-plot still TICKING ALONG I see.

 

[RaspberrySwirl]

The good thing is that the useless Aldehyde might be getting the chop

 

[Lucille]

How many episodes have we had of the bald servant oooing and ahing about moving to San Francisco? 3? ENOUGH!

 

[Lucille]

Aldehyde

WHO?!

 

[RaspberrySwirl]

Sorry I meant Adelheid

 

[RaspberrySwirl]

One of the servants

 

[RaspberrySwirl]

Aunt Agnes WALKING INTO CHURCH!

I was wondering who’s hurt poor Cynthia the most this year but then this happened so it’s still Che.

 

[Lucille]

WHEN DID THIS GET REVEALED?

 

[RaspberrySwirl]

WHO?!

She was deemed too incompetent to put a tiara on Mrs Russel’s head.

No one can beat their WICKEDNESS!

 

[Lucille]

Do their names have to be so OBTUSE? Adelheid, Aurora, BANNISTER? No wonder we can’t keep up.

Literally the only interesting thing that happened downstairs this season when they were talking about the cook (Austrian) and Adelheid (Prussian) being on the opposite sides of the war.

 

[Lucille]

ASTONISHED you remembered that detail! Completely wiped from my memory!

 

[RaspberrySwirl]

I only did for the historical reference.

 

[Lucille]

I’ve had a horrible thought, what if Mr Russel thinks the bald servant had a ‘keen eye’ after the SOUP incident and hires him as some sort of CLERK in his office?

 

[PercyPig]

I love how the plotting cook and footman was all tidied up in 2 minutes. Perfect.

And now a Boston bridge storyline. Fabulous.

 

[RaspberrySwirl]

Our favourite cast (wasp woman not present) at the Met Opera

 

[FetchFugly]

RESCIND YOUR CONGRATULATIONS!

Her entrance at the end though, in a suitably upstaging outfit

 

[RaspberrySwirl]

I can’t believe the priest is already dying. How lucky we are!

Is Oscar getting lured into something and will lose all his money?

[GinAg (39)]

Is this Lucille?

 

[RaspberrySwirl]

Lucille is Mrs Fish

 

[GinAg (39)]

I hope he's ready for some GOONING OUT

 

[RaspberrySwirl]

Bating and gooning is the future.

 

[PercyPig]

I quite like the CLOCK STORYLINE, maybe because it’s the only one I can follow.

 

[PercyPig]

Gagged at the proposal

 

[Lucille]

Far too much of the PROLETARIAT in that episode for my TASTE!

 

[PercyPig]

That face when she found out she’ll be pot washing forever more

LOVE IT

 

[PercyPig]

Predictions for the finale:
BERTHA opens a third opera house
Agnes steals John’s patent and opens another opera house
Marian and Larry marry (and go by the blended name “Marry”) and Larry dies
Dashnall never mentioned again
Wasp women ends up at the other opera house

 

[RaspberrySwirl]

Poor Oscar

 

[RaspberrySwirl]

How long did it take to cross the Atlantic back then? The Duke seems to be travelling back and forth at the speed of the Concorde.

A servant invented Concorde in Season 1

Poor Oscar

Couldn’t even get a pity shag
