**Knick Thread**
SPOILERS FROM TONIGHT
What was the general anaesthetic that Bertie used on Abigail? Ether? (doesn't seem like it would have that reaction with the laudanum as ether is often used in the creation of the stuff)
Did Abigail know she would have such a reaction? Was it suicide?
Why would she take a painkiller right before surgery where she'd be administered meds? Was she just nervous?
Would you your crazy wife's hot young sister?
Where my Knick bros at? Sleppin?
>>63338117
Guess I'll try tomorrow, friends.

Can't believe they spoiled it in the promo but yes I would she has had a really dark and sexy vibe all season.
>>63338267
Do you think she's a nutter as well?
I mean karma-wise the dude deserves it.
What an intense episode

>>63338399
Just a bit of a psychopath. I really think she's great though, I have been looking forward to Gallinger family scenes all season.
>>63338663
>bit of a psychopath
Yeah she was so obviously waiting patiently for that Galli dick just hoping sis was not alright.
She's super pretty, though, when Galli was talking to her after they dropped off crazy she looked so nice.

Thack is one of the leading researchers in the field of life sciences, but in this episode he tried his hand at waifu sciences.
>>63339040
what's wrong with her nose?
not a fan of what they did with cleary/harriet. should've kept them as friends
>>63339087
I hate that storyline because they turned Harrient into a bitch.
>>63339087
I think it's cute but she being so tsundre
barrow is such a slimy fuck lol. i love it.

Can someone please make a webm of their faces before he drinks it?

I don't think it's certain, they looked worried because she was just crazy enough to poison him too

Calling it now, Bertie's girl gets her eyes gouged out.
How aroused were they when they were complimenting each other's stock? How long until she finds out about him sterilizing dozens of untermensch which arouses her into having wild sex with him?
What werethe last words Thack's waifu said to him? I can't hear and the subtitles aren't out yet
>>63340116
>>63339799
it's going to suck when if comes back on them for her poisoning the officer.
>>63340200
he says "ready?" and she says "too look like me again?"

Galli deserves everything he gets
What are the sjw duo going to do about their scumbag father? What is Edwards going to do about eugenisist Gallinger?
Why the fuck didn't Thack use adrenaline to revive her?
Also that whole genetics talk was arousing a shit
wait so did she die because she took the opium right before the surgery?
>>63340501
>>63340518
>Gallinger finds out about Algie and Cornelia's pregnancy
>yfw he starts to think better of Algie because it was aborted
>>63340520
>Why the fuck didn't Thack use adrenaline to revive her?
I thought that's what Chikorita tried.
I'm guessing Thack will spend most of next episode on a some kind of bender to deal with Abigail's death, which is a shame because I like him when he's functional.
Also every scene with Cleary in it this season has been golden, that hit with the baseball bat was beautiful.
>>63340501
looks like he's gonna get it next week
why was harry such a bitch to based tom
>>63340604
not once this series have we seen him be a thug with an ambulance!
Two of the hottest actresses have sex scenes and no at all this episode--on Cinemax of all networks?
This show is fucking bullshit.
Why does no one talk about this show? God tier episode last night friends
>>63337903
didn't Thack tell her to take 2 drops of Laudanum earlier in the season? or am I confusing with something else
>63342133
Because it doesn't have any marketing budget
It'll become the Arrested Development of period dramas, unfortunately
>>63342205
I think he told her to take it to help her sleep. Maybe she wanted to kill herself or something?
>early 1900s setting
>mr rebbit music
why is this allowed
>>63342522
>only knows the music from Mr Robot
You have no right to complain about anything, you baby.
>>63342467
it didn't feel like a suicide to me
maybe she just thought she needed it for the surgery out of habit
>>63342603
I know who Cliff Martinez and Mac Quayle are, faggot.
I was only saying that it sounded similar.
>>63342735
Running off to google doesn't changethe facts, baby
so did gallenger kill that negro back then ?
Best show on television. Gut punch after gut punch last night. Barrow's slow motion victory walk was the best thing I've seen in a while. I realized this season they've been inverting the typical prestige drama season long structure, and the way they pulled the rug out from under us this episode was masterful.
>>63339087
>>63339129
I don't think it's so unreasonable that they'd develop romantic feelings for each other considering the amount of chemistry, like-mindedness, and respect they show each other. Their story also is serving as an excellent stark contrast to everything else that's going on this season.
>>63343727
I got a Tony Montana vibe from the scene, the world is yours Barrow.
>>63343820
I thought the group dance scene from last episode perfectly distilled the essence of The Knick, but this scene immediately replaced it in my mind before it was even over. God, I love this show.
>>63337903
>>63342205
I think it was the combination and poor timing of the laudanum and ether. It struck me as unintentional. Utterly devastating fate for Abby.
I've been watching this show from the beginning but now I'm two episodes behind and I just don't care anymore. I was looking for spoilers in this thread to 'catch up' but this has been confirmation I could not care less.
So long Knick bros. Hope you continue to enjoy the show.
According to the internet Barrow's whore is Harmony Korine's wife, has this been pointed out before?
>>63337903
DUDE NIGGERS AND CULTURAL MARXIST PROPAGANDA IN TV SHOWS AGAIN LMAO
>>63345542
I didn't recognize her at all. Looks way more cute than usual in this.
>>63342217
And what does that mean exactly(haven't watched Arrested DEvelopment)?
>>63343927
Oh yes, the ball scene with the slowed down remix of the main theme was absolutely amazing, I actually rewatched it after today's episode, since the Herman victory walk also had a slowed down version of the OST.
>>63343820
Barrow is great, seeing him actually get ahead for once is cool.
>>63340709
I can't wait to see that cracka get his shit rekt by Algie.
>>63340709
>Angernon standing in the dark
>Gallinger standing in the light
Why is Barrow so horrible to his wife? ;_; Does no one else feel bad for her? And how will he explain to his new high society friends how he has his family living in a plebian place while he lives it up with a common whore in his new palatial apartment?
>>63347463
She has the most man face and body I have seen in my life, not to mention how annoying and a money begger she is
>>63347694
I haven't noticed her being annoying or a money begger. Still, if he didn't like her he shouldn't have married her.
is cornelia's bro actually going to marry lucy or will he find out about her being a literal whore and dump her?
>>63340709
I think that Algie will castrate Gallinger
>>63347916
I have a feeling that the bro will end up with the broken heart.
He will also end up in jail because it was him who bribed people in the ports and had speights killed
>>63348484
>I have a feeling that the bro will end up with the broken heart.
Lucy does it again ;_;
>>63348663
jewfu is superrior anyway
So I just watched the promo, thackman is having a surgery, some shit gets on fire, and barrow is looking miserable while talking to some old lady.
Also my understanding is that barrow was somewhat plebian, and got so far because he married his wife which was upper class.
He is gonna get shitcanned if you ask me, and then they're going to find out all this embezzling and he's gonna go to jail.
>>63348689
>>63348663
Nurse QT was god tier waifu before they made her into a whore. Masterracefu and Jewfu are best now
>>63348819
>Nurse QT was god tier waifu
I really dislike her accent, and her resting face.
She should smile more. Jewfu is superior in every way.
>>63348785
Once Hermie's house of cards falls down it's going to be glorious.
>>63348909
I would be even happier when the Robertson family gets fucked.
For some reason I dislike him even more, he like a relic from older times.

>>63339087
agreed. that's one of the greatest friendships in TV in a while and they had to throw a romance conflict in there
>>63339087
>>63354327
>I'm clearly a virgin who doesn't understand boy/girl relationships
There's always romance conflict in some way shape or form you spergs.
>>63354459
even if the girl has a bf? even in real life?
>>63349697
>tfw little bit surprised but not really that this thread I made last night is still going
Webbie unrelated.
>>63354518
Absolutely, unless one or both are totally gay. Just human nature.
>>63354560
And even if one is gay the other probably has some romantic intent anyway.
>>63349510
I hate the Robertson guy.
Not the junior, the elder, he is a cunt.
>>63354534
So much shit went down this episode that I forgot about her pops stroking out after getting spanked with a cat. Which is pretty hard to forget.
>>63340709
Algie gonna fuck up his eye some more.
>>63354518
men can't JUST be friends with women. At least not the way Cleary and Harriet are. If you're like that with another girl/woman, you'll end up falling in love with her. Because why not fall in love with someone who totally gets you, respects you, relies on you and trusts you.
Was kinda obvious they'd get into a romantic conflict, and I liked how they didn't make it so easy. Didn't expect Harriet to react the way she did.
>>63340200what if the next episode opens with Bertie injecting adrenalin into Abbi the way he did with the rabbit and she awakens from the dead? I don't want her to die ;_;
would that be too much of an asspull?
>>63342823
stop acting superior on the internet you little shit, we're here to discuss the show.
>>63356781
I was sure that he will bring her back with adrenaline but when Thack called for some other medicine I knew it was over
>>63357009
i thought that was what they tried?
>>63357050
line from subtitles
>Bertie, brandy and strychnine.
The way they killed off Syphillis-Nose was bullshit.
Also, too many loose ends left untied.
Still an "ok" show though--better than most shows out there right now.
>>63357458
Yeah it was fucking bullshit.
Maybe thack will start working on adrenaline to prevent further deaths.
Most of the times it goes this way anyway.
Also what happened to the blood types research?
>>63357520
>Also what happened to the blood types research?
Fuck man, so much fucken shit they left undone.
What about Nigger's eye surgery?
What about Old Nigger's surgery that was sabotaged by white devil?
What about testing syphilis face for syphilis after that fucked up malaria treatment?
Ugh.
>>63357737
>What about Nigger's eye surgery?
this has to come back since glasses don't help much
>What about testing syphilis face for syphilis after that fucked up malaria treatment?
they did that. she was cured
>>63357520
The other guy (Zinberg?) had finished and published his work while Thackery was in rehab.
>>63357872
>they did that. she was cured
I don't remember them explicitly testing her blood to verify if she was cured.
>>63357968
its implied since thack had sex with her afterwards
>>63357968
they did it before puting her in the heating machine and again during. After she passes the test she gets the ice bath treatement
>>63358033
not just implied, she was cured. That was a treatment for malarie IRL for a while as well
>>63358033
That's fucked up, since they explicitly examined syphilis blood through a microscope 3 times for spyrokeets (or however you spell it)--then all of the sudden they don't show the moment where they test her blood to see if she is legitimately cured.
ALSO
I researched to see if syphilis is curable (it is, through the use of penicillin).
So is Thackery's quacky method even physically possible of being successful? Cus I doubt it is...
/tv/ med students need to weigh in on this.
>>63358159
it was a legit method to threat it and dude who discovered it won the nobel prize
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julius_Wagner-Jauregg
>The technique was known as malariotherapy; however, it was dangerous, killing about 15% of patients, so it is no longer in use.
>>63357737
>What about Old Nigger's surgery that was sabotaged by white devil?
What about it, gallinger sabotaged it to make the nig look bad, the surgery was successful.
Ugh. Am I the only one this show makes feel like shit? I love it because it's so well-made, and dares to go places no other drama has, yet nearly every episode kills my mood.
Fuck I hope they don't write Eleanor out and instead bring her back and get her some retribution. Can't imagine her holding a storyline up by herself outside the hospital though, now that Everett has gotten rid of her.
She's presumably pregnant with his second kid now though, which likely means Everett will take the baby and share custody with her sister, while she's forced to return to the institution after being separated from her baby. I doubt they'd have her escape on the way to or from The Knick, or while there, doesn't seem much like the show. More likely they'd have her commit suicide after she's separated from her child again - but suicide is pretty trite so maybe they'll just put her back in her box after Gallinger gets her baby.
I'm hoping she'll use her newfound cunning and the intelligence from her 'good stock' to escape the institution, but that doesn't seem realistic. Bedsheet rope out the window after dark? Nope.
>>63357050
>>63357009
Wasn't that the combination that brought the rabbit back at the beginning of the episode?
>>63340228
>it's going to suck when if comes back on them for her poisoning the officer.
Isn't that the reason Eleanor was institutionalised? Like after killing the baby in season 1?
>>63358838
>She's presumably pregnant with his second kid now though, which likely means Everett will take the baby and share custody with her sister, while she's forced to return to the institution after being separated from her baby
See that's where it gets interesting. Gallingers baby however he's obsessed with Eugenics now. Will he keep the child of a crazy woman?
>>63358944
That was infanticide, huge difference. the criminal justice system tended to be very lenient on women (Especially ones of high standing) and so Eleanor was probably treated as "mad not bad".
>>63357737
Algernon said his eye was getting better a few episodes ago. Carr I'm sure will come back up somehow. Abby was cured.
Why was the nurse's dad surrounded by naked women during his stroke? I thought he was a preacher? And why wasn't she surprised?
>>63361823
Why cant you understand something that you watch, they literally speak about what hapened.
