THE OFFICIAL THE KNICK SEASON 2 THREAD - COCAINE THACK IS BACK MY KNICKAS

[KalKal]

That opening and closing scene. Indiana Coke putting in some work

So this was the annual Ether Episode. Some many Ls being given, dear lord

That heel turn by Henry



Yeah, I immediately thought Henry was the one that killed his father and was doing the shady shyt. He's the one bleeding money, investing $$$ he doesn't have on the subway. He's been wanting to get out of the shipping business this season too, great timing by him

When Henry didn't show up my first thought was that it had to be him. But he didn't want to get out of the hospital business, he just wanted to get out of the shipping business. So he doesn't really have a motive that I can think of. Looking back I think this was all Barrow.

Remember, when Barrow wanted to slow down construction so he could skim more, Henry wouldn't let him because he wanted it done correctly. Even the Tammany Hall guys seem to be getting tired of slowing down the construction. Barrow may have gotten Wu Ping involved, so he doesn't have to send his girls all the way Uptown to the new hospital.

Good point

It's great cliffhanger going forward

Did anyone else think that the mule Thak and Robertson were walking at the end of the flashback was loaded up with a shyt ton of Coke?


I thought the reveal might've been them showing us how he acquired his "habits" while in Nicaragua

Nah, they already showed in season 1 that Thack picked up his habits from Christensen, the former head doc and Thack's mentor who killed himself after the umpteenth botched surgery way back at the start of the series.

Nurse Elkins' ether

What was the big reveal though? Did I miss something? It seemed like a pretty straightforward episode.

Was the reveal Thack working in Nicaragua beforehand or something? It makes his character more likeable, but not really that big of a reveal in the grand scheme of things.

According to the Q&A, it's suppoded to happen in the season finale.

Fam, I am just engrossed with each and every episode.

I do not believe that Henry tried to send his Pops upstairs. I believe the timing is there to throw everyone off. My reason for that is that Pops could have easily thrown a bunch of those ladders down and them jumped onto them. Sure he might break and arm or a leg but he would be fine as evidenced by Cornelia's exit. There was no reason for him to come to the front, show himself and then plunge right into the fire below.

L'età d'oro della televisione continua ...

 

[Adam3000]

It was obviously Henry doing the shady shyt with the shipping and setting fire to the building

 

[g-ice]

The fukkery is right now

Gallinger...your karma can't come soon enough.

Nurse Lucy's ether though :damndeux:

Those flashback scenes

This show better not be canceled due to the ratings man.

 

[BushidoBrown]

i cant tell if gallingers loony wife killed the psycho doc or if the doc's sons really did it..?
gallinger gotta win a SAG award for out CACing all other tv drama CACs but i fux with him for slingin the ding dong to his wife's hotter sister
the Ls Algernon collected this ep ..money may knows the deal - protect yaself at ALL times (victor ortiz )
that jury/board of eugenics super CaCs he was trying to bring that case to he never stood a chance
Nurse Lucy going all out
Barrow close to the CLIFF in all aspects of life

1st guess was that Henry set up the 4 alarm blaze cause of his convenient late arrival but after reading yalls perceptions it coulda been henry + barrow, barrow dolo or mr robertson himself...idk shyt was LIVE tho

She killed him with rat poison. His sons were also trying to slowly poison him with arsenic, but they hadn't really given him enough for him to die yet. Since they were caught and she wasn't, the case is closed.

 

[jwinfield]

Did Barrow's wife create alimony

 

[TooLazyToMakeUp1]

Nurse Loose-y damning her weirdo father to hell and Cornelia accusing her pops of murder before he actually burns to death.


Have daughters, brehs.
