Well its been a hell of a ride, The Knick has to have been the surprise show of the television year for me. Never expected to like the show this much and can't wait to see how next season turns out. One of the great things the show has accomplished for me at least, was reminding me how far we have come in the field of medicine.
Cocaine Thack was all coked out by the end and the closing shot of the doctors giving him heroin to combat his sickness
. Eleanor goes crazy after losing her baby and Gallinger takes her to a doctor who removes all of her teeth to combat the mental illness
. Then stated he believes in the procedure so much, he had it done to his kids as a preventative measure
. Thank God I live in the time period I do now and have been blessed with good health. Thank God I'm not a woman either living in those times. Nellie gets that abortion, then has to get married and look forward to Sir Rapes A Lot and moving off to San Francisco. My man Algernon can't take it and stay getting into those back alley beatings leaving the episode
.
I see Birdie the Wise finally had his eyes opened to the demons of his hero Thack. When he saw his mangled feet and the condition he was in, along with the way Nurse Elkins comforted him
. No more Mr. Nice Guy now, when he told that bird to stop looking worried after dropping Thack off at rehab with the
face. I wonder if Thack named Lucy as his next of kin
Have to give an RIP for Bunky who stayed shytting on Barrows and giving him the
“Nothing breaks a man like a good cock punch.” This dude Barrows really thought he was slick on some Thack sent me to deliver the message
. Little did he know he traded Bunky for Wu the Ninja Assassin. Wu won't be as forgiving as Bunky either "I can read left to right, not just up and down."
Special shout out to Soderbergh who really helped emphasize even more the power of directing in television. I
t's been a great season, see you guys next year
