Martini Sigil Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 How great was that last shot in S1?... the slow pull back with that look of bliss on Clive Owen's face with the reveal that they're treating his cocaine addiction with Heroin.... what a fucking great show.

Guest Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 How great was that last shot in S1?... the slow pull back with that look of bliss on Clive Owen's face with the reveal that they're treating his cocaine addiction with Heroin.... what a fucking great show. That was a great end. I cannot rave about this show enough. What is our man Thackery going to get into now? Funny factoid about drugs (that may or may not end up being relevant): what is "addictive" is somewhat debatable as there is for most people both a physiological and psychological component to it, but one might argue that substances that contain a physiological component are trickier because they all contain the psychological piece. Well, opiates/heroine have a much tougher physiological piece for most people (i.e, actual physical symptoms during withdrawal) than does cocaine, so our Thack who is kicking cocaine by being medicated with opiates might be in for one hell of a ride. I also wonder to what extent the show will use the fact that opiates absolutely do contain a medical utility in certain cases that most pros will tell you far exceeds whatever cocaine's is. I could see Thack using this as some kind of justification for his own romps. We shall see. I confess I did not realize that our main actress Eve Hewson was Bono's daughter until I saw mention of it on a magazine cover today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Veltigar Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Is anyone still watching? I have just caught up with the last three episodes and damn that ending to the previous episode was unsettling as hell. I really don't know why, perhaps because the threat is different from the usual death and destruction, but the whole eugenics schtick Gallinger has going is probably the best piece of horror in this show since that tense scene that almost cost Algernon his eye.What makes it even worse is how I actually got to feel Gallinger's character a bit more. Like, he was borderline sympathetic the previous episodes. I even thought he wasn't at all sure about the whole eugenics thing when it came up at his reunion for the first time. And then he pulls that shit, what he does to those poor innocent boys is just vile. I hope someone takes a stab at him for that. I'm also wondering how long it will take him to dump his wife and bang the sister. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 The eugenics storyline is a really interesting one for them to take on. Fits very well with the historical period and is rooted in real history. There really was a big push to sterilize "defectives" for the sake of allowing the allegedly superior "Nordic" races to thrive. Incredibly, the laws allowing doctors to do this stayed on the books in many US states until recently even though I believe the practice largely disappeared after WWII.Those scenes with the open brain were crazy. Wondering what they're going to show us that Thack has done to that patient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martini Sigil Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 There is not one bad/boring storyline/subplot going on right now... my only complaint is that they're not giving everything the time its due...-Cleary getting Harriet out of jail by strong-arming the rich uptown ladies-Lucy getting dumped by Thackery, beaten by her father, and now potential romance w Henry-Bertie, his mom, &the reporter... Gallinger & Eugenics... detective Cornelia trying to find out who killed Inspector Speight... Algy's awesome wife... Thack & Eleanor ... Dr Grabby Hands lighting his face on fire...But my favorite storyline this year is watching Barrow dig himself deeper and deeper... and now Tammany is involved... what a hateable douche Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ran Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 Brilliant episode. The ballroom direction and cinematography was absolutely to die for. Cornelia's discovery that her family is behind the plague-infested immigrants making it to New York, and at the same time the fact that they're on the verge of financial ruin if she makes any missteps with that information or with creepy Daddy Showalter, is so well done. Lucy's ruthlessness in pursuing her ambitions is pretty breathtaking.Love this show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veltigar Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Great episode. The Knick has something with the number seven, because last year, the seventh episode had that marvellous attack on the hospital. Some rather surprising twists and turns. Oh, and Gallinger is a piece of shit. Two questions immediately came up after the episode First question Is the Captain Algie's father? We speculated about that last year, but now that the Captain called him son it seems even more plausible. Personally, I hope they aren't related, but they do seem to be fitting everything neatly into place for such a reveal.Second question: Will Harriet start Planned Parenthood in the future? I mean, the organisation was founded in 1916, but the show can and will play loose with the facts if it makes for a better story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ran Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 I don't think he's Algernon's father. I think he does seem himself as a bit of a foster father, or at least a very fond uncle, so his use of "son" showed his feelings.Dubious about Harry founding it, but maybe they can show her getting involved.

Jack Bauer 24 Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 Do you think we'll get a third season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martini Sigil Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 I'm really hoping that Gallinger's sucker punch doesn't completely ruin Algie's eyesightAlthough the fire is probably Edward's doing... it could also be Barrow....The flashback was done well... just enough backstory to move the story alongLucy's farewell to her father was fucking awesome.

Nictarion Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Gods I can't wait for Gallinger to get his comeuppance. I wanted to punch his smug face so bad during his trial review, and then when it looked like Algernon was going to do just that......fuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winterfell is Burning Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Although the fire is probably Edward's doing... it could also be Barrow.... You mean Henry? And no, the fire was Barrow's, seems pretty obvious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martini Sigil Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 You mean Henry? And no, the fire was Barrow's, seems pretty obvious. Yes, Henry... sorry.... But I don't think it's obvious at all... Especially if it was Henry who had the inspector murdered, the fire could be a frame/cover-up... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commodore Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 the flaw with this show is that everyone is a caricature Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graven Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 This last episode was insane all around, it felts like a series finale(and i hope it isn't).If it was, it might be the saddest i can think of so far, almost everyone of the good side, ended up in a mess, and Gallinger is "living the dream".I had my suspicions but still was shocked by Henry, and Cleary's revelation was crazy as well. I really hope there is a season 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
