  1. Didn't Mrs Roebling walk across the bridge with a rooster? That's a boss move. I want a rooster next ep. And Larrian to happen.
  2. Got some goodies from the library (just returned the Matthew Perry book--really good yet sad reading) and got "740 Park" by Michael Gross (not directly gilded age but adjacent), and "The Husband Hunters" by Anne de Courcy that chronicles the 'dollar princesses.' Bummed that my library and Kindle Unlimited don't have Consuelo's "The Glitter and the Gold," but will try to find it. Don't want to buy it because I doubt it's something I'd reread. I'm open to other GA related book recs.
  3. I really hope the rev's illness is a misdiagnosis. Please let Ada have a few years of happiness. It would be funny if he came from old Boston money and leaves the majority to her. I would like to see the dynamic change between the sisters. Agnes bulldozes everyone and it gets old and makes me dislike her. It would be nice if Peggy could start a society of lady writers. I want Larian as the end game. He seems like he'd encourage her art and teaching. Can't imagine Bertha and Agnes being in-laws. LOL If that happens we need a funny Christmas dinner episode in the future.
  4. Bertha doesn't like Turnteron because she tried to sleep with George and Larry. If she was regular Miss Enid Turner who married a rich widower, she would have no issue.
  5. Is there another newspaper/magazine Peggy can work for? Please get her away from predator Fortune. Maybe she can do her muckraking elsewhere? I really hope Ada helps Marian get out of that "engagement." Can't Dashiell find some youngish widow to find? Introduce him to Mrs Blane. I really wish we got more episodes this season. Here's to hope for season three to be longer! There's so much going on.
  6. You just made me giggle a little too hard. My cats are wondering what's wrong.
  7. I also didn't care for Carrie C's dress... the upper part anyway. It didn't flatter her and looked awkward. But she was charming and funny.
  8. Does anyone know when Belgravia is coming back? I know they filmed/are filming a season two and the real life Lady Frederick Windsor (Sophie Winkleman) plays a role. She's married to the second cousin of King Charles. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belgravia_(TV_series)
  9. Does Oscar live with Agnes and Marian or does he have his own place? I don't think it would be considered unusual for a fully grown son to have his own place. He's at least in his 30s. I could see Larry not having his own yet since he's a recent Harvard grad.
  10. Thank you for saying this. It drives me nuts that people think an aristocrat is royal. Princess Diana was the daughter of an earl so aristos and royalty have intermarried. They move in a lot of the same circles. Modern royals are allowed to marry who they want like King Filipe of Spain and Letizia, Prince Edward and Sophie (my favorite royals), Willem Alexander and Maxama of the Netherlands, etc.
  11. His daughter gives me creepy vibes. LOL The character got lost on the way to The Shining hotel and wound up in late 1800s Manhattan.
  12. Peggy and Fortune have a completely different show from the Manhattan folks. IMO, Peggy needs a separate show. And please don't make her the other woman. She deserves better.
  13. Yay for Ada and the rev! These two deserve love and happiness. I'm watching on my laptop so some of the scenes are so dark. Please tell me that Peggy and Fortune don't hook up. She deserves better. Also, hooray for the eagle eyed staff who caught that something was amiss.
  14. If she winds up with a duke or earl, please let it turn into a love match like Cora and Robert from Downton. I really don't want her to be miserable like Consuelo Vanderbilt.
  15. I watched the first ep and am halfway in ep two. Don't think I'll be finishing this. Wharton must be rolling in her grave. I know critics didn't like the 1995 series, but apparently the ending is similar to what EW planned (I've read that the person who finished it worked with an outline she left before she passed). Of course the book didn't have modern flourishes like the (spoiler tags if you haven't seen the '95 version) I guess we're not getting Idina, but in the 1995 one we also didn't have Mabel. Lord Richard's sisters were much nicer in that version. The music takes me out of it all. It doesn't work like it did in "A Knight's Tale," and the pop songs are played orchestral in "Bridgerton." This seems like a very cheap knock-off. The actors aren't bad, but so much is distracting. Where is Conchita's Brazilian accent? I love Testvalley in the earlier one and her BFF relationship with Nan. That charm is gone here.
  16. If Turner's husband dies, her best bet is to move far from New York and settle herself comfortably in a city like Chicago where no one will know her past. She would be 'just' a wealthy widow and could mingle there. IMO, Boston and Philadelphia would still be too close. If he dies and she remarries too quick, that would look bad also.
  17. True. What could be gained? Would that bring shame to her new husband? He may know she is a former lady's maid, but probably not that she tried to proposition the man of the house.
  18. Does anyone know how they met? Good for her! Tins seems to have a good heart. That ring is beautiful.
  19. I believe Jade has mentioned in the past that she's a university student so possibly a student visa.
  20. Well, if there's a bit of happiness, Charlotte's granddaughter marries for love and had a long long reign. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prince_Edward,_Duke_of_Kent_and_Strathearn
  21. My hubby and I will be in London next month and was looking into going to a West End show and there is one based on "Wagatha Christie." LOL https://wagathaplay.com/
  22. I really don't want Rebecca with someone we haven't gotten to know (I'm including Netherlands boat guy). Sam and her were sweet, but problematic. I had hoped that Trent and her would develop a relationship since he's now at Richmond working on his book, but the writers tossed that out. Her and Ted work as BFFs, but nothing else unless they do a big time jump. I don't want him and Michelle getting back together. He really doesn't need that drama again. I also don't want him with Sassy Smurf. Maybe Ted pulls a Kelly Taylor and "I choose me"? Or Rebecca does that? I don't like relationships out of the blue. That's why Keeley and Roy worked.
  23. This is when I wish worlds could collide and Claire from Outlander shows up. LOL
  24. I just wanted to yell, "Get Dr Evil out of there!" Don't let him near the king or Charlotte.
