The Gilded Age (New Julian Fellows HBO Drama)

[PercyPig]

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!

I’ve been cackling at this all day

 

[Santos Claus]

The way there are zero stakes for the bald servant storyline because no one had any idea who anyone was in it and they never resolved it!

 

[Santos Claus]

Can’t decide whether I’ll be more angry if they continue the bald servant storyline or drop it completely.

 

[Santos Claus]

Does the character even have a name?

 

[Cobfort and Joy]

My boyfriend is a fan of this show and I keep being threatened with catching up with it, and I must say that the prospect of a bald servant mystery is actually quite INTRIGUING

Just don’t ask us who anyone is

You think that’s exciting? Wait for the thrilling mystery of ‘where does the twink servant go on Wednesday afternoons’.

 

[Santos Claus]

And of course the high stakes drama of serving lunch in the ENGLISH STYLE!

 

[RaspberrySwirl]

Or where do all the twink servants go when they’re not being shown off whenever someone bothers to come visit?

Or where do all the twink servants go when they’re not being shown off whenever someone bothers to come visit?

Do they just sit around in the basement for 16 hours a day in beautiful baroque outfits?

 

[Santos Claus]

@COB please watch it’s essential television!

 

[PercyPig]

THE OLD BOOTS

 

[RaspberrySwirl]

Omg but I just remembered that slutty servant going into the master’s bed at night and then threatening him of telling his wife on him.

I wonder if I can re-enact this by going to my hot neighbour at night

 

[GingerbreadAg (39)]

Finally watched this.

Nothing happened 10/10.

Series 2 now please.

 

[Santos Claus]

ATTENZIONE EASILY AMUSED GAYS!



Back October 29th

 

[Santos Claus]

The fact Mrs Russel now seemingly has an ARMY of BAROQUE TWINKS!

 

[Santos Claus]

Very promising that the trailer is 90% Mrs Russell and barely a WHIFF of SAD OLD MARIAN!

 

[PercyPig]

Sorry. Have we seen these characters before?

 

[Santos Claus]

Yes don’t ask me to name a single one of her FOES!

 

[Santos Claus]

“The eight-episode season begins on Easter morning of 1883 when Bertha Russell’s (Carrie Coon) bid for a box at the Academy of Music was rejected”

INJECT IT INTO MY VAINS!

 

[Phoenix]

Sorry. Have we seen these characters before?

Yes they are Broadway legend #1, Broadway legend #2 etc….

Also nice that they allowed Christine to film outside of her house.

 

[Cobfort and Joy]

We're up to episode five and OMG at Nathan Lane as Foghorn Leghorn

 

[Cobfort and Joy]

Really can't wait to find out where the bald servant is going on his walks!

 

[Santos Claus]

Such a THRILL!

 

[Phoenix]

Really can't wait to find out where the bald servant is going on his walks!

The truth will shock you.

(It won’t, nothing on this show will)

 

[Cobfort and Joy]

Are they trying to make us feel sorry for the one old racist woman by giving her a dreadful old sick mother sleeping in her own filth? Not having it SORRY

 

[Cobfort and Joy]

I DO like the bitchy scrotum-faced servant who tried to bed BEARDED DADDY, although I'm not entirely sure what her role in the house is meant to be (head of staff? governess?). That she looks like she's just eaten a BOWL OF WASPS is mildly iconic.

Obsessed with this PANTO VILLAINESS.

What storyline is this?

 

[Cobfort and Joy]

The one servant woman who's always a bitch to poor Peggy for no reason In the episode I just watched she spent her afternoon off in what looked like a 1950s Glasgow tenement caring for some sick mum out of nowhere

 

[PercyPig]

Oh yeah! It’s a one episode thing. Don’t worry about it xx

 

[Santos Claus]

Mercifully I’ve blocked that ‘storyline’ out despite sitting through the show twice.

 

[RaspberrySwirl]

It’s a one episode thing. Don’t worry about it xx

90% of this show summarized.

 

[Cobfort and Joy]

Now there's a MR. HEFTY?!

 

[Cobfort and Joy]

Scream at Mrs Russell having to be bundled out of the servant quarters at Mrs Astor's summer house

 

[Cobfort and Joy]

Boo at Peggy leaving though, she better be back soon. Can't believe there's only one episode left

 

[Santos Claus]

Now there's a MR. HEFTY?!

WHO?!!

 

[Cobfort and Joy]

Exactly! He was the butler at Mrs Astor's place, the way he was mentioned before appearing seemed to be setting him up to be important but of course he wasn't!

 

[No room at the Finn]

Omg a LIGHT UP LEG

 

[No room at the Finn]

Oh I thought this was the Big Brother thread, SORRY

 

[Cobfort and Joy]

Omg a LIGHT UP LEG

Mr Edison's greatest marvel yet!
