How will anon be watching this if he doesn't have Cinemax or whatever obscure network this airs on?

the show doesn't pander at all

maybe you're one of the rare intelligent racists, but most anons like you get instantly triggered at the sight of a black person and assume it's pandering, like the political opposite of a SJW but just as bad

even the last episode had a completely positive portrayal of eugenics

he got trained in Europe and Thackery (the main character who is the chief surgeon) is all about the cutting edge and wild experiments so he didn't really care about skin color, just for whoever is insane and skilled enough to work for him

algernon (black doctor) still regularly gets BTFO over his skin color
>>
>>63558005
Ah well /tv/ will /tv/
I just started the first episode.
These shots and practical effects are great. Shouldn't have been eating when I started.
>>
Holy shit. That was the most heart attacking and breaking thing ever. RIP Captain, you were a truly great man My money's on Henry, but it's really a coinflip between him and Barrow. But Henry would be a great twist plus it really seemed like the Captain was being honest, also Henry had been talking shit to Neely about him for a while.
>>
>>63558192
I feel like Captain committed suicide though. That jump would've been very easy to survive unless you try to land on your head. You could easily escape with no injuries as well by using the ladder to slow your fall even if you couldn't climb down it. You'd angle yourself to fall down the ladder and try to grab the rungs, while your feet also hit the bottom rungs which will absorb some kinetic energy and slow acceleration. He definitely panicked and chose an easy way out.
>>
>>63558057

>These shots and practical effects are great.

They just get better as the show goes on, too.

Enjoy, anon.
>>
>>63558285
I really don't think so. The revelation that the Captain was actually a pretty great human being all along and then immediately getting engulfed in hellfire is right in line with what this show is about.
>>
>>63558837
How?
>>
>>63558896
I admit I could be off base on this, but thinking back I can't seem to recall any Captain Robertson appearance that would contradict the notion that he was overall a genuinely good person. Based on the shows themes and his association with terrible people (specifically Barrow and Showalter), I had a natural negative association with his character and didn't think much of him. The speech to Opal last episode coupled with his perceived indignation and hurt at being accused of crimes he didn't commit by his daughter make me think he's an actually honest person. Well executed and particularly brutal twists are this show's signature, and discovering Robertson is someone we should have been championing all along just as he gets swallowed up by Hell would fit perfectly.
>>
Man I love this show it definitely needs more recognition. Costume and set design, soundtrack, directing, cinematography and characters are all top notch.

Cleary, Bertie and Edwards are my favs especially. And I'm glad those twins at least got a happy ending.
>>
>>63556975

so in s2ep8 how did the sphyillius chick die?

>>63559128
Yeah but the dude basically committed suicide. Why do that if you're innocent? He could've easily survived even if he chose to execute the 2 story fall with zero skill or planning at all.

>You shook the very fingers I begged him to slip inside of me
Absolutely based. Although I'm a little confused as to whether she straight up killed Pastor Elkins or just gave him some drugs to conflict with his morals

Also, who do you think started the fire? My first guess is Barrow to halt the hospital production so he doesn't have to pay off his ex wife, but if it was actually Henry who payed off the people to let the sick people in second class, then maybe he would go as far as to kill his father to hide it. I'm not sure if he meant to get Cornelia too, but it's a little too convenient that Henry wasn't in the hospital when it went up in flames.

Also I'm losing respect for based Barrow at how little he seems to care for his kids. His wife seems to be a gold digger so I'm not too fussed, but him not caring about his own children being taken out of school and barely getting by is very cold.
>>
>>63559376
injected herself with something that would kill her prior to the operation
>>
>>63559398
I dont know whats up with the drugs in this show. I guess we gotta wait and see what happens
>>
>>63559398
I feel like Henry being the arsonist is gonna be the big twist.

Also if the show doesn't get renewed for S3 are they gonna somehow tie up loose ends for the final episode next week?
>>
>>63559376
She took a drug to calm her anxiety before the surgery and the drug reacted badly with what the surgeons gave her
>>63559398
Pretty sure she murdered him. As for Barrow, it is odd, but I guess in today's era he would probably choose to remain childless. But condoms were perceived as immoral then and generally only for banging hookers, so it's not like you're going to use birth control when having sex with your wife. Children were just a natural product of that.
>>
>>63559395
I can rationalize him not wanting to make that jump with how old he is and other stuff. I could be wrong but I don't think so.
>>
>>63559467
He could've easily broken his fall with the ladder, even without trying to grab onto a rung. Dude straight up committed suicide, he took a much bigger fall from the side of the building than down to 2 floors below inside.
>>
i hope clearly has a happy ending because he is coolest
>>
>>63559398
I think she gave him an overdose of heroin, I don't know if she exactly wanted him to die. But that was an incredible scene, I really feel like Eve Hewson justified her spot on the show there. Also my money's on Henry, it's a great twist.
>>
>>63559451
>I feel like Henry being the arsonist is gonna be the big twist.
I think it might be too but I hope it's not just because I really liked his character, seemed to be one of the few with good intentions.

>Pretty sure she murdered him
Seems to be the case, although I found that to be a little over the top for Lucy's newfound moral nihilism. I can definitely understand her wanting some kind of emancipation from the morals her dad placed on her, but it takes a bit more than realizing that most 1900's era morals are arbitrary to become a murderer, especially patricide.

>>63559557
I hope he and Harriet get together, I like both of them and I want her to stop being mean to him, it's not like he kept going when she pulled back.
>>
>>63559529
Ok, we don't know how high it was, Cornelia was clearly hurt from falling off the bottom after Captain was hanging it down, he's probably mid sixties or older, had adrenaline going through his body, didn't realize how quickly the fire was coming, and jumped off the side to die fast rather than burn alive.
>>
Why do I feel like this show is going to end with Thack dying?
>>
>>63559653
naw he wont die. hes probably gonna medicate himself and find a way
>>
>>63559623
She wasn't hurt, she stumbled and fell on landing because of her heavy and cumbersome outfit.

Captain could've easily survived by breaking his fall with the ladder. Look, rewatch the scene. If you don't see that as a survivable fall, especially given the ladder leaning against the wall, then you better hope you never find yourself in a burning building.
>>
>>63559720
To be fair, he's in his 50's-60's. For all he knows he could have shattered his legs with the fall and ended up burning alive anyway.
>>
>>63559720
I did rewatch the scene, and I probably would have taken the jump, but I'm not sixty. And Neely is hurt by the fall. Also after he turns away he is still looking for a way out but the fire has already engulfed the whole floor.
>>
>>63559720

How do you even function in day-to-day life? Oh yeah I'm sure The Knick would do better on a weekday.

>>
>>63561679

Cinemax's demographic isn't the same as HBO's you moron. They air all their original shows on Friday.
>>
>>63561795
Well Cinemax airing on Sundays would be dumb because then they would be competing against themselves (HBO) and Showtime. And Starz already occupies Saturday nights and has for a while.

Cinemax is a very nascent premium network for original programming; Friday is the least crowded day of the week for it to air on. People who don't go out can watch it live, others can get it on demand, via MAXGO or find one of the regular reruns that occur on a schedule basis at a time that suits them.

Oh well, banshee is a lot of dumb fun, so I guess there's that.

I'm all in on Henry as the arsonist, Barrow only has balls for gambling not action. No Rose will let up with Cleary but we won't see 'em do it onscreen.

Is it wrong that Elkin's monologue turned me on a ton? I don't think so.

Do we know why Barrow hates his wife? Was there something she did in the first season? I mean she's not hot, but otherwise it seems like he's been acting out against her unprovoked. Also, were there no laws about child support or alimony at all back then? Strikes me that that society wouldn't let him get away with what he's doing without some sort of repurcussion unless she somehow wronged him. Its not like she Constructively abandoned him. It seems like he just woke up one day and said "lol fuck my family i'll marry a whore" and no one noticed.
>>
>>63574430
yeah I found that odd too, specially on a society that values reputation and stability so much
>>
>>63574430
The fact that Barrow's punishing his kids in order to punish her kinda makes him the asshole here.
>>
>>63573644
He's too progressive to be evil.

H-has it really been confirmed or are you guys just trying to depress me?

I didn't even realize Henry was Cornelia's brother until like two episodes ago (that, or I'd simply forgotten). The two have no relationship. Did they even have any scenes together before the latter half of this season?
>>
>>63574849
Yes. You just weren't paying attention. Can't blame you, Cornelia is boring as hell when she's not with the based jew health inspector.

who is the best character of The Knick and why is it Gallinger?

This show is not going anywhere

I was actually thinking about this last night.

Dad could have used the ladder to break his fall, by either getting his daughter to prop it up against the wall and have him jump up on it--OR jump down with the ladder being verticle and let come what may after that.

>Is Obama the most patrician president ever?

He only likes it because of the racial politics. He probably sees himself as Dr. Algernon Henry (ie smart black guy that the white man is trying to keep). Obama is pathetically predictable.
>>
>>63575988

>>
>>63561574

That was such an obvious part of the episode, though. It wasn't a plot twist or anything. In the first scene of the episode the crates thack passes when he's in south america clearly say "ROBERTSON" on them.
>>
>>63573644
Another clue pointing to Henry is he has been planting seeds of doubt about the Captain in Neely's mind since the beginning.
>>
It's possible he didn't know about the infected being let through customs. And it's possible he didn't know about the smallpox blankets.

But he coincidentally gets accused of both of these infractions? Come on.
>>
>>63574829
I think people are feigning insider industry knowledge when they talk about the future of this show. It's far and away the best show on television and Soderbergh is obviously passionate about it and bang seasons out both quickly and on the cheap. If HBO cancels it after renewing the fucking Leftovers then we are truly living in Hell.
>>
>>63576572
it doesn't even air on HBO
>>
>>63576570
The ambiguity is beautiful. On the one hand Nicaragua draws a direct parallel to current events like you said, but on the other hand nothing on the show directly contradicts the idea that he's a good and honest person if you take him at his word. I think him being a good person all along is more in line with the type of elegant tragedy that the show does so well.
>>
>>63576606
HBO owns Cinemax. If they snuff out their best show after tucking it away from their main channel then I might be done with them.

Well, yeah, obviously. But why is he doing it? I mean he's not just like "my family is unfulfilling, i wanna leave them for this hooker" he's like "FUCK my family! I want them to have NOTHING AT ALL those ruinous pieces of SHIT. Also, i'll shack up with a ho."

I mean what prompted his absolute cold disdain for his fucking kids? It just seems so unusual that he'd completely abandon them on a whim.

I guess she wanted to be a good wife, and the inspector didn't pull all her teeth out and disfigure her for life.
>>
>>63559398
Reminds me of a scene from a game like the doctor in MGS5 or Bioshock. If he got an overdose of heroin that's pretty legit.

I want to see Gallenger somehow end up in WW1 and get introduced to Hitler. They could be good friends.
>>
Has Gallenger officially crossed the line yet in your opinion. /tv/?
>>
Gallinger is a cartoonishly evil "white devil" character.

I hope they get more and more zany-evil shenanigans out of him.
>>
>>63578553
That reminds me of something, the cop said the doctor sons confessed the crime, but later he says the killed themselves before being caught, how could they confess the crime if they were never caught?
dunno if plot-hole or just me being retarded

He quickly escalated his villainy this season. ast season he was misunderstood and a victim of circumstance but now he's deliberately crossing lines. Nearly every character is this season (Lucy murdering her father and Barrow being taken in by his whores ruse)

The buildup to Gallengers cheap shot was so good. You could really tell Edwards has reached his limit with with him, and physically reprimanding him was his only recourse left. The shot of him calmly getting ready for a fight was so good.

The absolute disdain for his wife came rather abruptly imo. I'm fairly sure what Barrow is doing was commonplace at the time, but why must he be so vile about going at it? He's leaving his wife for another woman. Why does he have to be all villainy about doing so?

Why would Henry try to kill his father and sister? He seems like such a nice guy.

He was the one behind the shady port business. He was the one who called for the meeting, so he knew that they'd both be there. The only two peeps who know about the shady port business.

46 posts and a The Knick thread will reach the bump limit. If this happens Cinemax will renew.

Come on anons, I believe in you!

They'll renew it for sure. They know it's great, everyone that has seen it knows it, it's just a matter of time people pick on it. The Wire, Breaking Bad, etc.. All had a rough start. Productions like Rome, Deadwood, they had other issues on why the had to pull the plug.
