jordanpond May 5, 2015 Share May 5, 2015 (edited) I don't have a problem with the choice Mr. Grove made. What I had a problem with was how, once again, he made the totally selfish decision,and considered only what was best for him. . He showed no interest in what was best for Billy, or his other kids, or Ernest. He sent that baby out of his house not even knowing if he had a safe crib to sleep in for the night.That's the thing I have always disliked about him and continued to dislike about him after this episode. Everything is about what is best for HIM. He is a completely, utterly, selfish man. And where does he think he has the right to order Miss Mardle around? She should have walked right out the door. So if he couldn't stand the sight of the child, let him take care of the situation himself. Edited May 5, 2015 by jordanpond 6 Link to comment

Ohwell May 5, 2015 Share May 5, 2015 Miss Mardle allowed herself to be ordered around because she wants to be a doormat for Mr. Groves. That's why I have no sympathy for her. When she gets a backbone and some pride, then maybe... Link to comment

She had been demonstrating that backbone ever since Grove got engaged to Doris, but told Josie, "but nothing has to change between US" (meaning their affair could continue). She dumped him then. And when she was having the affair with the young musician, she basically told Grove where he could stick his opinion. I think she got roped in by concern for Doris after Doris confided in her, and then the whole thing blew up. She meant well, but - as they say - no good deed goes unpunished. 5 Link to comment
kathe5133 May 6, 2015 Share May 6, 2015 Yeah, Grove is a dick, but he has been a dick since the beginning of the series. Victor is a spineless piece of shit, and I never had any use for him. Even in the first season he made my skin crawl. I started watching because I loved the story of Agnes and the rest of the shop girls. Then I got sucked in to the rest of the stories. I guess I will keep watching, but I am not as intrigued as I was at the start. Link to comment

In addition to the examples given by AZ CHRISTIAN of how Miss Mardle has come to handle Mr. Grove with a backbone in past situations, this present situation was largely thrust on her. It started the day that Doris came to the store for Roger to treat her for her birthday, and that day Josie saw a man grab Doris' arm (and she was concerned in the wake of Kitty's assault). Later, It was Doris' guilty conscience that led her to confide in Josie about Billy.I don't see how anything Josie did translated to her wanting to be a doormat. She was kind before the death, and generous in handling the wake (which single women often do to help out a newly widowed man's family.) But doormat? I just don't see it.

Josie just has to be seen by some as this sad creature, desperate to get a man back, who treated her horribly. Link to comment
jordanpond May 7, 2015 Share May 7, 2015 (edited) Time for me to give credit where credit is due: I really liked Violette this episode! It was great seeing her really involved in the estates project, and I liked that she showed her independence in a fun way with Victor when she insisted on taking the wheel on the drive back. I was so glad that George did not give in. He really has quiet strength and it's making him become a more interesting character than he was before. He's still got that naive exterior, but he's very self assured. I don't know what will happen to him now, but he surely couldn't stay at the club any more. I'm hoping for some more Gordon and Grace really soon. And Mrs. Crabb.They always pick me up. Edited May 7, 2015 by jordanpond 2 Link to comment

duVerre May 7, 2015 Share May 7, 2015 Quote I've gotten used to Jeremy P's over the top portrayal of Selfridge, too. I think it may be due to watching that long documentary, last year, about the Roosevelts. Teddy had the same grinning, loud, over-enunciated delivery and I've come to think of that as the hearty manner of the turn of the century American man. I didn't expect to like his performance but I do. Those big flat prairie vowels of his sort of "clang" amid the British ones, but that's appropriate. His teeth are too white, his smile is too broad, he walks with his chest out, and he booms when he talks. Well, I'm not sure I would use the word "talks." Maybe it's better to say that he announces and pronounces. But then, this is a man who is used to giving orders, and carries himself as though he's always campaigning. Quote Teddy [Roosevelt[ had the same grinning, loud, over-enunciated delivery and I've come to think of that as the hearty manner of the turn of the century American man Yes, that's perfect! Quote Jeremy Piven is the producer of the show! Was he signed on as a producer at the time he was cast, or did that come with season two or three? I ask because it's very common for the star of a show to start getting producing credit--see Sarah Jessica Parker/SATC, K. Grammar/Frasier, Jon Hamm/Mad Men, Bryan Cranston/BB, etc. The rationale is that they are so identified with the show's brand that the series would now be impossible without them, and so they deserve another title and another way to benefit financially. On the other hand, I seem to recall, very faintly, some story about Piven producing this. Link to comment
jordanpond May 9, 2015 Share May 9, 2015 (edited) So last year we decided to add a flowering crabapple tree to the middle of our garden. At that time, it was in full bloom, so this spring is the first time we're getting to enjoy the full blooming process. The tree has these beautiful, deep pink buds, and each day new pink flowers are popping out all over. So what does our crabapple tree have to do with Selfridge's? My husband nicknamed it "Mr. Crabb Apple." I like getting to see good old Mr. Crabb Apple every day of the week. Edited May 10, 2015 by jordanpond 4 Link to comment
treeofdreams May 9, 2015 Share May 9, 2015 (edited) Quote Considering that he risked her job during their secret affair during his first marriage, then unceremoniously dumped her for a younger model as soon as he was free to marry again, then tried to shame her out of petty jealousy when she found love again with the young hot Belgian guy, Plus he wanted to continue his affair with Miss Mardle after he was married to Doris. Also when they were discussing the new deputy job he basically told her she wasn't qualified for it, because he wanted the job. And let's face it, he didn't love Doris, he just wanted children and thought she would be a sweet pliable wife. Just all selfishness, all around. Edited May 10, 2015 by treeofdreams 4 Link to comment

And even though Season Two covered more serious themes like the death of soldiers, the mystery surrounding Henri, and the threat to Harry's reputation, we also had tango parties and lively concerts and a sexy chocolate demonstration and flirty romances. And lots of funny moments. Now we're lucky if we get two or three moments per episode that actually makes us smile. 2 Link to comment

Ms Lark May 11, 2015 Share May 11, 2015 For the first few seasons every time Grove came on screen, I'd think "Dick." Then Loxley came around and I couldn't call them both "Dick" so now Grove is "Big Dick" and Loxly is "Little Dick." Want to have a slap-a-thon on both of them and hope they bugger off next year. At least Grove did something less dickish this week, but I can't help but think Earnest will still get short shrift from him. At least his siblings will take up the slack in that department, he's loved by them. Oh, dear. Is Nancy-the-grifter really going to marry Mr. Selfridge? Isn't she already married to her partner in crime? I wonder if Marie will out her in some way? Takes one to know one! 1 Link to comment

SonofaBiscuit May 11, 2015 Share May 11, 2015 Yes, Mr. Grove continues to be a giant A-hole. At the beginning of the episode, I was wishing they would just kill him off. They tried to redeem him there at the end, but too late! I still hate him. Miss Mardle needs a man like George (why did they have to kill off Florian?!)...a man who is good and sweet and caring. I never really paid much attention to him until last night's episode, but he's pretty great. Seriously do not want him back with Kitty EVER, though. Poor Grace. She isn't wrong that she comes from a very different world than Gordon, and I'm not sure Harry would approve of the relationship, but Grace and Gordon are better people than the whole lot of Selfridges/their significant others. Harry was an adulterer, his girlfriend is a con artist, Vioelette is SUPER obnoxious, Victor is into a bunch of shady stuff, and Rosalie's husband started the season as a gigantic jerk (btw, I just discovered that the actresses who play Rosalie and Violette are real-life sisters Kara and Hannah Tointon. Would have never guessed that). Basically, Gordon should do what he wants and be happy with Grace. 1 Link to comment

Mainly, I think that Harry would discourage Gordon from dating one of the girls from the store because of how that might look to the other employees. Maybe more of a business issue than anything else. Like, it could lead to resentment against Grace if the employees thought that she was receiving special perks since she was involved with the boss. I'm not sure if Harry would have a problem with the fact that Grace isn't a member of the same "social class" (or whatever you want to call it) as the Selfridges. He obviously thought Rosalie was marrying well, but I'm not sure if he expects his children to marry money or not. 2 Link to comment
JudyObscure May 11, 2015 Share May 11, 2015 I thought Nancy just told Harry the partner in crime was her brother, but he's actually her lover. Can't say where I got that idea, though. Everything is so hopelessly messed up right now. Harry is throwing away his store. Mr. Groves is improving but still not good enough for Miss Mardle who seems to be an incorrigible one man woman. The parasite old woman is now spreading gossip about one of the Selfridge daughters. I want her and her slimy son tossed out on their ears, new baby coming or not! Victor keeps going downhill toward big time racketeering. George is going to fall for Kitty's sister, while I think he and Kitty actually love each other. Only Mr. Crabb remains saintly with his magazines about housekeepers and nannys. 2 Link to comment

Lucky he never thought about adopting. The boy's lucky to be rid of a parent who is only interested in his own sperm -- and his sisters should be considering running away to someone who will actually care about and for them, 2 Link to comment
txhorns79 May 13, 2015 Share May 13, 2015 After watching the episode, I think my main question is how Harry ever became a successful store owner. His decision making abilities seem to veer between somewhat good and almost comically reckless with little in between.

treeofdreams May 13, 2015 Share May 13, 2015 (edited) George also helped Kitty resolve her situation. Perhaps he has simply grown up; I don't know how old he was at the beginning of the series. He had been abused for years by his father; now that he is free of that, and has had a successful job at Selfridge's handling responsibility, his confidence level has increased tremendously. Plus he fought in the war, which is, sadly, another growing experience. Edited May 13, 2015 by treeofdreams 4 Link to comment

jordanpond May 14, 2015 Share May 14, 2015 (edited) With all the Grove kids, I almost missed that Mr. (Arthur) Crabb's godson was Ernest's older brother, Arthur. It was nice to see little Arthur finally receive his wind up toy. Once again, George was amazing. And so was Mrs. Crabb, even though she was off screen again. I miss her! Wow. That's pretty sad when you think about, that one of the best things done in the episode, the little knit outfit, was produced by someone the producers didn't even bother showing in the episode. i did find the new promotion very exciting. A good mix of the traditional Selfridge's with a modern twist. I didn't get why Connie just dropped by for magazines without arranging it first with Miss Mardle. That scene seemed pointless. To tell you the truth, even though I like Connie, the amount of responsibility she, a former dock worker, is given seems very unrealistic. There are probably a dozen women in fashion ahead of her, and they're treating her like a first assistant. Her story isn't consistent with how they've always shown us how things work at Selfridge's. Elsa's goldish outfit at the club was gorgeous. Edited May 14, 2015 by jordanpond Link to comment

Ohwell May 18, 2015 Share May 18, 2015 I knew she wanted to get back with Mr. Groves. I just knew it. That's why she couldn't stay out of his life. So Nancy and Gus were brother and sister, just like the role the actress played on "Hustle." I think it's rather creepy that she likes to play these roles. I'm glad Gordon chose love over a job. And even though I haven't liked Violette, I'm hoping things work out with the Frenchman. The Russian mama redeemed herself somewhat. I thought she was lying about the jewels, so I was glad to know she was telling the truth, and offered to repay Selfridge. She's still got some grifter in her though because it didn't take her long to be onto Nancy and Gus. 1 Link to comment

Knew when they said the Prince was gambling with two dancers it was time for the Dolly Sisters to show up. Unfortunately, Loxley (Little Dick) was correct when he said Harry has his weaknesses.

I like Gordon and like George, I will tune in next season to see what happens to them, but this show is really missing Agnes and Henri, not shell shocked, drunken, sobbing mess Henri, but the man from the first season.

SonofaBiscuit May 20, 2015 Share May 20, 2015 Mr. Grove is such an ass. The entire time I was wishing he would die in a fire. He's the worst. I hate how he is completely horrible, and then all is expected to be forgiven because he is nice for two seconds. Now I can't even enjoy Miss Mardle's story because I hate that they ended up together. So, now is she going to quit her job to take care of Mr. Grove's children when she just said an episode ago that she's lacking maternal instinct and she couldn't wait to get back to work after watching baby Ernest for one weekend? NO!!! George is really a sweetheart. I'm liking him more and more each episode which is surprising since he was kind of forgettable to me in the first two seasons. I'm glad that Gordon chose Grace over his job, but I wonder if that's going to stick. I hope so since it's one of the few enjoyable storylines left on this show. 3 Link to comment
apgold May 20, 2015 Share May 20, 2015 (edited) Having watched the finale, I’m of mixed feelings of Grove and Josie. He obviously needs her more than she needs him but I suppose he makes her happy when he’s not being an ass. I suppose he needs her to call him on his BS and she needs to take care of him. She won’t be his doormat and I hope he realizes that he can’t treat her that way. I think she is my favorite character at the moment. If only Florian hadn’t died in the war… Happy for Gordon and Grace, although Pa won’t be happy about it. Same for George and Kitty’s sister (forget her name), they are cute together. Overall, this season was darker and more depressing with a few brighter spots. Obviously Harry is on a downward spiral and will probably be taken advantage of by women (as Nancy warned him). I would love Lady Mae to come back with her new husband next season and stick it to Loxley. He’s such a miserable vindictive little man. I won’t miss Violette, she was far too annoying. I kind of miss Agnes, though but I think her storyline is done. Edited May 20, 2015 by apgold 3 Link to comment

Obviously Harry is on a downward spiral and will probably be taken advantage of by women (as Nancy warned him). Yeah, if I remember the history right, the Dolly sisters ruin him, or, at least, help him on the road to destroying himself. I'm deeply disappointed in Miss Mardle. She deserves so much better, and really just has terrible judgment in men. 1 Link to comment
