Too much SJW bullshit.
Apart above, goat show.
>>62751617
Gallinger was one of my favorite characters but now he's irredeemable
>>62752968
Gallinger is based. People should bring back eugenics.
>>62753144
Ow the edge. That man is a monster

white people could get away with a lot back then
When is Cornelia's father-in-law finally going to rape her?
>>62753678
Why are her tits so small? She basically doesn't have any.
>>62754573
Doctors had pretty broad authority until at least the 60s. Patient rights were sort of an alien idea for a long time because we just assumed anything a doctor did was for our benefit, also that Hippocratic Oath.

>>62751617
Best episode in S2.
Also that brain operation.
They went way overboard on the SJW crap this season, they do it so people can look down at these characters and say "I'm such a good person and not ignorant like that" it's just a way of patting themselves on the back
>>62756957
>remove a huge ass piece of brain
>"That ought to fix that pesky addiction problem. :D"
Holy shit Thack is such an idiot
>>62756981
Shut the fuck up
when is birdie gonna save cutie nurse from this ill thought out plan
>>62757087
It's still a good show but it's true and if you disagree im sorry to burst your bubble also that pig looked fake as fuck
damn this show is hard to watch
so fucking unflinching
i've seen shit like a serbian film, 120 days of sodom, antichrist, enter the void, etc. and none of them have even come close to affecting me the way this show does
even things like the sopranos or boardwalk empire haven't come anywhere close to being this dark and uncompromising
unlike any of the stuff above i feel fucking dirty, uncomfortable and on edge after watching this shit
like i know it's dramatised but i'm so glad to be young in the 21st century
>>62754584
seems like an aborted arc, just like everett's wife's craziness creating the dilemma of whether to put her in an asylum or not. instead they just used it as the catalyst for everett becoming a nazi
though after going to the trouble of introducing her sister they could revisit her subplot later in the season
>>62757393
It's honestly the best series since The Sopranos
Thackery not testing his lobotomy out on a pig first was a bit of a plothole.
Also his lack of concern in Everett's newfound interest in eugenics was kind of odd. Though maybe it was just a less taboo subject back then.
>>62757485
It's slowly developing. Her husband just left for some shit, and the Father in law just said creepy shit about taking care of Cornelia while her husband was gone.
Someone photoshop this and put Thack, Edwards and Gallinger
>>62756981
>this is what plebs believe
>>62757490
>not Mad Men
>>62757393
That's the central thesis of the show. All these people think they're breathing rarefied air and on the cutting edge of society and from our perspective it might as well be one of the circles of hell. It's horrifically beautiful.
The guy who elkins is dating is the same guy who was recording emily kinney right
Anyone else rofl when the perv doctors bead caught on fire
>>62757842
yes
I forgot to save the webm last time it was posted but theres one out there
>>62757825
Yeah.
>>62757821
And another central and terrifying point is that the same problems they faced back then are still going on today in one form or another. You might feel better about being alive now but the barbarism, injustice, ignorance, and violence that were around in 1900 are still here in one form or another.
>>62757530
You fail to realize this episode was titled Whiplash and he just miraculously cured a previously untreatable disease while simultaneously saving a former love of his life. His ego was at an all time high.
>>62757886
>doctors can still just decide to sterilize a bunch of retards unilaterally
>>62757530
And his dismissal of Gallinger was perfectly in character. It's how a man of science (who doesn't give a fuck about pleasing anyone) would react to the ridiculous notion of sterilizing people based on race.
At first i was like...
>>62758027
But then...
how the hell did everyone speak so eloquently back then
>>62757989
Yeah because we have successfully educated the planet the point where genocide is nonexistent and not a single person believes that eugenics and racial superiority are legitimate concepts. Try harder next time.
>>62757530
Eugenics was very mainstream in those days.
>>62758047
So fucked up
>>62758106
>>62758047
Why is Thack so careless with people's lives?
>>62758143
Have you watched the show?
>>62758143
The two people he's "killed" were dying. Although it seems that the girl's death was weighing heavily on him until he started using again.
>>62758310
Yeah what happened to his deadfu? is he over her now?
>>62758027
the fake brains and stuff they use on this show look so damn real its terrifying
>>62758703
>>62758027
>that saran wrap-like membrane he had to peal back to reach the brain
>>62758018
You're forgetting Gallinger is one of his friends and proteges, at least an old one. Thackery might be narcissistic and caught up in the excitement of his work, but I expected at least a disapproving/concerned glance after the previously "liberal" Gallinger expressed his new views.
Remember how Gallinger's expressions at the reunion when he first spoke to his old classmates about eugenics? He obviously disapproved and thought the notion to be controversial and unorthodox. Didn't get any of that from Thack, and Gallinger was just speaking to old acquaintances who he knew were assholes.
>>62758350
Wasn't the woman on the boat the one whose nose he reconstructed?
I assumed the girl he envisioned on the back of Everett's yacht was their daughter.
>>62759368
No that was the girl he let die at the end of last season.
>>62758703
the head prosthetic just looked like a fake plastic pizza hat to me
him stabbing the brain though was pretty awful, like why was that necessary
was he not concerned about brain damage? was contact with the brain not enough to transmit the current? were the writers just wanting something that'd impact the audience more?
>>62759444
oh
muh bad
i don't even remember how he fucked up, something about a blood transfusion
my memory is shit
>>62759493
He gave her his blood filled with cocaine.
>>62759822
I thought it was that his hypothesis about bloodtypes was incorrect so he ended up killing her through toxic shock or whatever after her body rejected the transfusion
>>62759822
Wow I completely overlooked the fact he was giving her junkie blood.
>>62753678
I see she went to the Eva Green school of acting.

Best girl, coming through!
>>62756901
did you look at that thing?
>>62759314
Ehhh I think I still disagree with the notion that speedballed-out Thack would give two shits that Gallinger is spewing pseudoscience at him when it isn't relevant. One of the main reasons Gallinger is adopting eugenics in the first place is that he has been all but cast aside by Thack in favor of Edwards. Thack has ignored Gallinger countless times, and his outright dismissal of the eugenics talk was in line with that, disregarding the fact that it's complete crazy talk and science backed that up even back then.
Why are they turning Everett into a full villain ;_;
>>62760507
He can just cum real quickly instead of being a dick
>>62756981
pol pls
>>62757056
>>62757056
they didn't know that back then
any pics of gallangers sister in law?
How did /tv/ react to this scene?
It's starts getting pretty shitty after ep 5.
The only reason I watch this show is for the surgery, everything else sucks balls.
One dimensional characters.
Dead dialogue.
Annoying romance.
SJW themes.
Le tortured genius drug addict archetect
Ugh. Watching it right now actually.
Just started watching the first season of this.
I can't get over how Algernon reacts with disbelief over how people treats him with a racism that I'm expecting is perfectly natural for the time. Does he think his education sets him higher than other blacks? Is it his time in europe? Or has this anachronistic coon traveled back in time from present day? His entitlement seems more out of place than the futuristic soundtrack.
>>62766410
Does he think his education sets him higher than other blacks?
Yeah.
Is it his time in europe?
Yeah.
He was basically raised by rich whitebread, who funded his education overseas in Paris where a nigga can get somewhere.
He's a pompous, arrogant man out of his element.
"Just a nigga on a bike".
>>62766410
I think it's kinda ironicy that Algernon almost exclusively beats up his fellow black man.
He's a self-hating blackman.
>>62761206
FDR was pro-eugenics. Do not dismiss eugenics when in every ethics class and most philosophy study it is still a question that is turned over countless times.
Eugenics like many other ideas are people in search of a solution and turning it into an extreme.
>>62756957
>that brain operation
My god it was insane, how do they make them so real
GALLINGER DID NOTHING WRONG
>>62760194
It's not that. They didn't have the same blood type --> Coagulation
>>62760285
Berty's going to fuck it up somehow. :-/
>>62760285
I want a sex scene so bad. With based Bertie the Wise Fucker
>>62757149
i'm waiting for her to need his help for something and him telling that skank to keep walking
>>62761266
Well adjusted characters are boring to watch. Which is a shame, show could benefit from Gallinger being a voice of reason foil to Thack and Edwards.
>>62757087
>>62757744
>>62761528
He's right.
>>62767213
>FDR was pro-eugenics.
A self hating cripple, baka
>>62767430
FDR did not start out a cripple bud. And technically if you look at nations and sterilization policies, every modern country had them and Japan didn't stop theirs till 97'
don't mind me little lady, just stealing the show.
>>62767702
I love these two, wish they would get together, even though they probably never will.
>>62760285
Of course Jesus was a Jew, his mother thought he was a god and he thought her a virgin
>>62757056
>huge ass
Nigga, there is such an operation as a hemispherectomy; where a doctor will literally remove half of your fucking brain and the ill effects seem to mostly be locomotion and partial speech paralysis. Thack literally just removed a small portion of the paracentral lobule. The morphine addict is probably undergoing some form of acute infection that was as a result of the surgery or his prior injury.
>>62765017
It fucked me up, I was hoping that the pram was empty - but then nope, it wasn't.

This is true, in the book Blindsight the main character has half his brain removed to stop his seizures and he ends up more or less fine.
>>62767738
She is too old for him, I get the feeling that Cleary is supposed to be in his late thirties and just looks a lot worse because of the times and his hard life. Pretty sure that Harriet is supposed to be in her early 50's, I might be wrong though. I think he wants her around because she is very motherly, might remind him of a mom he didn't have. It would be interesting if it turned out that he was an orphan.
>>62767825
This was temporary sterilization though. It wore off after they stopped getting their injections.
>>62767874
>It's okay when Jews do it
>>62767851
It is actually a thing IRL though, your cranium will fill up spinal fluid over time and those who have undergone the surgery claim they can feel and hear it sloshing around when they're active.
>>62767902
Funny, every time it's done on a Frenchmen they don't notice a thing
>>62767868
>It would be interesting if it turned out that he was an orphan.
He was, somewhere in season 1 he mentions it.
>>62767851
that episode of House 'Half-wit' was pretty great too
>>62767902
>feel
Maybe they can feel the wight shifting, but there's no nerve endings in the skull.
>>62758082
They read literature, constantly. Try it some time, it does change the way you speak.
It's gonna be cancelled, isn't it bros? :(
>tfw this will probably get cancelled
>tfw its one of the best shows ever made
who else hype for the next big starz drama Quarry?

>>62767902
>your cranium will fill up spinal fluid over time and those who have undergone the surgery claim they can feel and hear it sloshing around when they're active.
can they not just place some kind of sponge in there that the body wont reject? Like put a bunch of fat they lipo out from someone or yourself?
>>62768120
it fucking sucks, i like this show a lot.
I can't believe how disease ridden people were in 1900. Why even live when you'll end up with some viral infection or a hernia that goes into your scrote? I perfectly understand why the dumbledore character blew his brain out during the first minutes of the show.
So comfy to watch peoples hellish life of disease and addiction problems living in a time were we can cure anything but cancer and aids.
>>62768452
>the next big starz drama Quarry?

doesn't it say cinemax in that trailer?

My main concern is Soderbergh leaving. It's unlikely since he seems to love doing it but its still a possibility ;___;
How long do you think this show will run for bros? I'm hoping at least 5 seasons.
>>62770688
>at least 5 seasons

Do you guys think this show is going to blow up or will this be like The Wire where it's praised after it's done?

What is wrong with her hands?

She's describing strangling her baby
>>62772399
She is gone into madness after they lost their baby. Plainly speaking, she's batshit crazy.
>>62772594
She didn't strangle it didn't she drown it in a tub of frozen water, because it had a fever? and she had seen her husband do a similar technique in the hospital?
The scene of Gallinger committing his wife fucking broke me
>>62772663
>>62772695
What happened to her after that, did they lock her away.
Also whats the deal with her sister is she married or is she going to marry Gallinger after they divorce?
>>62772794
watch the show. for the sister i don't know.
>>62772830
Just watched the last episode man, I just dont remember what happened to her.
I remember Gallinger saying something about her going to her parents at some point.
>>62772866
Ah alright, I think she's left as kind of loose end, we don't know. All i remember is she got new teeth and started creepily smiling and talking about how she wanted to be a good wife again. I think Gallinger sent her to her parents for a while, so he wouldn't have to deal with her.
Gallinger confirmed for being beyond redemption
Gallinger is now doing vasetocmy to retards.
His 'nazi'-group will judge and expel him for being in married with his crazy wife.
Screencap this.
I'm not one for sjw crap but the way this show handles and refers to the mentally ill triggers me. Maybe it's because I'm a special education teacher
>>62773010
It was the time friend, the mentally deficient still have that stigma now.
>>62773010
Did "idiot house" and "morons" trigger you or was it something else
>>62773114
It was that line specifically. I'm a black guy that browses 4chan, the word nigger doesn't bother me, but the minute I heard that I was pissed.
>>62773198
Sorry anon :/
>>62773198
If that pissed you off Gallinger telling the boy to drop his pants must have made you want to smash something.
>>62773241
That pissed me off because I liked Gallinger as a character, because he was really just a tragic figure of his time. He crossed a line last episode and is completely unforgivable. What's the point showing him save Thack if they were gonna make him go full villain?
>>62773285
I think he will somewhat redeem himself. Like seeing what he's done. Would be nice to have some sort of catharsis.
>>62773300
A man of his intelligence knows where the line is. The show ruined his character. They couldn't have been less subtle about it either other than having some old timey dude say "I have a friend you'd be interested in meeting named Adolf"
How will Thack and Edwards react when they find out Gallinger sterilizes untermensch in his spare time for fun?
>>62773388
Is he gonna go to prison, or they are going to let him go?
Y-YOU'RE NOT TAKIN THIS ONE, CLEARY!
>>62751617
Great show. I hope it gets renewed for season 3
>>62773010

Fuck me sideways this season is good so far.
My favourite show on TV right now and maybe even of this year (which is not saying much, but still) and that includes Fargo.
>>62753678
DELICIOUSLY FLAT CHEST
>>62768452
is that big guy or discount big guy?
I suppose I'm the only one who actually enjoys the divide between Gallanger and Edwards, how one is going pro white and the other one pro black. It should lead to a very interesting place.
>>62776492
The way a person sees the world really says a lot about them..
Does anyone know much about how eugenics were treated back then? My understanding is that the worst of it came around with the nazis, but in this show the eugenics people are treated like evil nazi henchmen. Seems kind of odd. Not sure why I'm even asking on /pol/ jr.
