Just caught the episode and agree that Cleary/Harriet might be the best friendship on TV :mjcry:

Also agree w/the possible theory that Everett's wife might have poisoned the quack doctor :ohhh:. It wouldn't be the first body she caught :sas2:

Everytime Thack comes up with a new procedure/surgery, I'm wondering if they knew how to do that back then :lupe:

Gallinger is getting played by that ungrateful ho. Watch Shang Tsung have her turn tricks in the new apartment :snoop:

Direction of the show continues to be top notch. Every scene the camera always focuses on the most important character and really adds to the storytelling, like when it was focused on Birdie's dad in the background during the operation :to:and the acknowledgement from him that Birdie at least tried when he couldn't even look.

we get to see the separation of the twins tonight, and supposedly something complicated with Algernon in the surgical theater. :lupe:

His busted eye :mjcry:

No Whammies!!
Much as I love Fargo, this is the best show currently airing. I can't believe Gallinger crossed the line like he did. To think, after the boat scene at the beginning of the season he didn't seem all that bad. I love the eye roll that Edwards did when Thackery mentioned that he called his stiches the "Gallinger knot". We have a White Knight now :mjpls:. I think Algernon will figure it out with his mouse experiments.


It's pretty surprising that Opal had already seen the minstrel show, and was looking forward to seeing it again. She was actually laughing along.

On a lighter note, it was pretty funny when Thackery mentioned getting a movie camera, and that one nurse was like "Oh yeah, Henry has one of those!" Half of the nurses are starring in a series of "Busy Flea" movies on the 1900's underground stag film circuit.

So Lucy is just a thot that thinks she can parlay that into a rich husband but I don't see Henry simpin like that. I had forgotten about her and Wu with that foot shyt though.:scust:

Cleary always making moves and scheming to get money when his real talent is as a straight goon.:salute:

Whoever called the white girl fukking up her father's business investigating that plague cover up on the ships was spot on. Her creepy father in law still in the cut just straight.:demonic:

The casual cism in this episode was hard to take at times, it was historically accurate but when the minstrel show started I had to hit the :whoa::camby:

I love the show but they need to chill a little with the realness.:wow:

I was surprised by that as well, but she still checked Cornelia's dad on Algernon's position at the hospital :ehh:. To be clear when the new Knick is finished, the old one will be shut down right?

Gallinger turning out to be the real villain of this season, :pacspit:at him sabotaging the surgery during the end of the episode so he could swoop in and save the day.

I was glad to see Thack pull off separating those twins though, thought he might get those cocaine jitters during the operation :whew:. Instead he winds up cutting a promo before the surgery “This is their last day as a sideshow attraction and you their last audience. This is no magic trick. No illusion. No sleight of hand. It is scientific knowledge and rigorous experimentation that will finally allow these two young ladies to live the humane life of which fate has so far robbed them.” :obama:


Cleary stays scheming and is the most consistently funny character on the show. “The only thing cleaner than my mouth will be my fukkin’ shirt.”:mjlol:

Out here in my damn drawls
Oh my fukking god I can't wait until that punk bytch Gallinger gets his due :ohlawd:

That whole scene I was hoping that the camera cut to someone in the auditorium catching him switching the curare bottles


And Wu with his nurse Loose-y foot fetish. "Give it to me NOW :noah:"

I need a shot of Barrow standing on the hill talking shyt like a crime boss watching the contractor get his ass beat. He is always so arrogant but you know that he'll eventually catch back to back L's like always:mjlol:



Cleary and Harriet's side story continues to deliver and it adds alot to the show unlike Cornelia's. Her dumbass is about to fukk up her family's commas by being nosy :scust:
