The Gilded Age (New Julian Fellows HBO Drama) (1 Viewer)

[AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaAAaaaA]

I am completely lost again. Mrs FISH?? The BALD SERVANT?

I can barely remember the names of people in real life, never mind during the gilded age TOO!

 

[Lucille]

Oh it was the bald guy across the street who I had NO IDEA who he was and what he was doing, it seems me and @AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaAAaaaA have completely forgotten two entirely separate pairs of characters.

 

[PercyPig]

That wasn’t Mrs Astor’s daughter. I don’t think we’ve seen her before.

Oh I know the show has form for this but it’s bit annoying they just shoehorn someone new in then!

It must be like the civil service where if you don’t spend your current year budget you don’t get it the following year.

 

[Lucille]

Also I do hope the bitchy servant who was trying to bed Daddy Russel returns, she was the ONLY interesting one!!!

 

[PercyPig]

How did you not notice it’s Oscar’s boyfriend?

The chunky sideburns completely threw me tbf. And he looks like Aurora’s (???) husband.

 

[Phoenix]

It was Mrs. FISH and the man was the other gay.

I’m not really sure about Mrs. Fish and what she’s for apart from lots of young people stay with her.

The storyline with the bald Russell servant perving on (who I think is) Mrs. Astor’s daughter was a bit weird. Where did that come from?

I did like the semi confirmation that McAllister is a raging homosexual and Auroa wouldn’t be worried if she was alone with him.

Could it be that Sweeny Todd (bald servant) is Mrs Astor secret lover and she’s his daughter. That would be a good ammunition for Mrs Russell (if that girl is Mrs Astor daughter who’s extremely unremarkable).

It is weird that Branski shoots 100% of her scenes in the house and does not affect the plot considering that she’s on the poster. I guess it was a covid or scheduling thing because the confrontation should between her and Mrs Rusell instead of Astor.

Oh true! They’re very similar looking.

 

[Phoenix]

Aurora’s husband looks half her age.

 

[Phoenix]

Who knew so much conversation could be mined from such a light show (admittedly half of it is confused gays)

 

[RS]

The most ridiculous thing about this episode is how supposedly scandalous it was to see the cook arguing with someone outside the house.

 

[Lucille]

I know what Aurora looks like but still don’t really know who she is!

 

[RS]

I know what Aurora looks like but still don’t really know who she is!

She’s the one who was friends with the one that @AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaAAaaaA thought was Meryl Streep’s daughter.

Who’s the posho with the art gallery and had an illegitimate child?

 

[Lucille]

The fact we’re 7 episodes in and clearly haven’t paid attention beyond the aunts.

 

[Phoenix]

Who’s the posho with the art gallery and had an illegitimate child?

That’s Jeanne Triplhorn from Big Love. The implication is she used to be a sex worker and is shunned.

8 actually and the finale is next week.

 

[AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaAAaaaA]

The confusion I have with Aurora, is that I think she also looks a lot like the racist SERVANT who didn't get fired

On an unrelated note, I do hope miserable, scorned and actually fired WASP FACE has a revenge tour planned before this season ends

 

[PercyPig]

8 actually and the finale is next week.

Aw really Although I’m not expecting a Succession style biblical ending of course.

It’ll probably be the tea leaf cook repays her debt

 

[Phoenix]

Gay boyfriend is quite hot without the sideburns (and is another Broadway homosexual)

 

[PercyPig]

That’s Jeanne Triplhorn from Big Love. The implication is she used to be a sex worker and is shunned.

I clearly missed the sex worker bit inbetween all the olde English waffle

Flop fan

 

[Phoenix]

The finale looks exciting ngl

 

[Lucille]

AGOG and HUGELY UPSET it’s the finale next week!! Nothing has happened!!!

 

[Phoenix]

AGOG and HUGELY UPSET it’s the finale next week!! Nothing has happened!!!

I mean the whole train derailment plot took less than 5 minutes to resolve.

I’m looking through the IMDb and apparently the evil stenographer (who’s now been downgraded to cleaning lady) is played by Dorota the maid from Gossip Girl.

 

[AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaAAaaaA]

AGOG and HUGELY UPSET it’s the finale next week!! Nothing has happened!!!

Excuse your mouth! We saw Thomas Edison turn on a light switch!!

23 collective Tony Awards. I didn’t know Cynthia Nixon did theatre too.

 

[Lucille]

I think this tweet sums it up succinctly.

 

[PercyPig]

The finale looks exciting ngl

“Let the tournament begin!”

That trailer reminds me what the show should have been about - new money. But it’s not really been a theme of the series has it. Mrs. Russell hasn’t really had any massive issues since Mr. Russell bought up all the handkerchiefs at that bazaar thing has she.

 

[Lucille]

Cynthia is an Oscar away from being an EGOT!

 

[AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaAAaaaA]

Is THAT the bald servant top left?? He was the man who I had no idea who he was when he said hello to the woman in the bonnet who also had no idea who he was.

Has he been on the show before this episode?? VERY unmemorable if he was.

Well she did have to leave from the servants door last night. That’s the equivalent of the red wedding for this show.

What did she sing?!

Yes he was away on a mysterious expidition a couple of episodes ago (presumably following the same woman but I don’t recall seeing her before).

Oh your BONNET WOMAN wasn’t Mrs. FISH.

Sorry!

Glad it wasn’t a collaboration with Che.

 

[PercyPig]

None fans on Moopy must think this show is SOMETHING ELSE with all the activity going on in this thread when really it’s just us going “who the fuck was that again?”

 

[RS]

It will be good to come back to it next season when we’ve forgotten everyone including Meryl Streep.

 

[AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaAAaaaA]

since Mr. Russell bought up all the handkerchiefs at that bazaar thing has she.

SCENE of the SEASON let's be honest

Closely followed by Mrs Russell's beheaded chicken BACKDOOR WALK OF SHAME

 

[Lucille]

Did any of you have any idea Mrs. Russell was called BERTHA?!?
