some other thoughts on the gilded age
they made a black woman completely competent, intelligent, beautiful and worthy through every single episode. no fucking notes
i feel like ada paid that lady to make agnes vice president
i love that they were teasing marian and larry from episode 1
i love that everyone lives their lives, moves on, makes different choices and plot isn't for the sake of plot (e.g. peggy's choice to stop working for mr. fortune after realising their relationship was not good)
also the moment i saw her start to work for him and spend a lot of quality time where they glaze each other, i knew he was gonna take advantage, the fucking whore he is
bertha facing the consequences of her actions. at one point i figured the greed and ambition would not mess up her life but i didn't watch s3 yet
the one plot hole was luke. good god he didn't have to die for ada to return to the van rhijn home
i have never felt more uncomfortable in this series than watching gladys marry a man she had no choice in selecting
why do i like these monopoly looking ahh capitalists?
jack my sweet child. i need a 10 mil investment from an invention too
but also i hope bridget isn't only interested in him now that he's rich because he was always going to be a hardworking, honest man and a decent father at the very least. i like them, and i think they can be fine but i hesitate you know? i know her reasons, but he wasn't made aware and it feels... unfair to him at the very least
