To hear her tell it, she only worked on Infinity/End Game for a week. Everything was ADR and one fitting for a green dot suit so they could store her image in the computer. I don’t think she was ever on set. 

I got a little too hyped up after reading some theories that Tom, as her family’s attorney, knew Marian’s state of finances better than she and took advantage of it: that he has either done something to get her family fortune or Marian can’t inherit until she marries, so that’s where Tom finds his opportunity. Doesn’t…

The reviewer missed the full significance of the plot point. The chef had started out as a poor American - a ‘no one with nothing’, but with the aid of his wits and “tenacity” he rose to the top of a fairly exclusive profession. And he became someone else, a new identity that includes assuming a culture that wasn’t…

I have literally heard no one saying Marian is an asshole. A sucker, maybe. But she’s more than likable. 

It kind of freaked me out that she glided down those stairs without holding the hand rail.  That dress with the long train can’t be easy to walk in, and I was praying she wouldn’t stumble.

Let Ada hook up with someone. (Who is the Che Diaz of gilded age NYC?)

I don’t understand the decision to make Agnes basically a shut-in.  She’s worried about being on the outs with Mrs. Astor because it would interfere with her busy schedule of sitting in the parlor and being annoyed when anyone visits?

My issue isn’t that the drama in the show is based on superficial issues, but that the show has a bizarre tendency to make what minimal drama it establishes evaporate. For example:

This show is a perfect counterpoint to the nerve-racking shows on my current watch list (Severance, The Maid). These sort of low-stakes shows seem to be filling the space that hangout shows like Friends or Seinfeld once occupied.

While we’re showing our appreciation for Carrie Coon (she was amazing in Leftovers), ICYMI:

Their story lines were limited due to shooting The Good Fight and “Are We Really Doing this Again” at the same time. 

Eight months.

I believe the HBO extras mention that Carrie Coon was very very pregnant by the filming of the last few episodes.  Thus the cut of her dresses to hide her bump.

Right? I’m not a fan of either of them, and I still think that. Even if it does turn out to be a PR romance - at least he’s playing it whole-heartedly. Might be his best performance of the 2020s.

Honestly, this entire season was worth it for Donna Murphy in that necklace and tiara at the ball. 

I love that Ben cheers his lady on like that. More men should.

Boy oh boy is “simping” a term that needs to die a quick, painful death.

Daya insisting she’s ‘just saying what everyone is thinking’ is like an alcoholic buying everyone drinks at the bar so they can pretend everyone has a problem.

I find it refreshing - but I’m uncertain that’s been to Daya’s detriment with the viewership at large, in the way it’s been for other filter-less queens - Kandy Muse, Violet, Ginger.

This episode just… didn’t seem to need to happen.
