Gilded Age, 02x06, Warning Shots. My thoughts...

Turner can go fuck herself! Seriously her revenge doesn't go the way she wants it to, so her next is to steal Bertha box at Met. By getting some getting some old money people to go to new opera house she has some cojones. Hoe I don't think so! I love that George set everything right again, don't mess with his wife! Good man! Can someone, but Bertha please expose Turner for who she really is, a two bit hoe lady's maid that tryed pathetically to get her bosses husband to sleep with her. She'll be dropped out of high society on her ear!

The word frenemies should of been invented to describe Bertha and Mrs. Astor's "friendship". I swear the moment Gladys said 'I thought you were friends' to Bertha, frenemies started flashing in my head in neon red lol.

Omg Marian, I felt so horrible for her put on spot like that in front of everyone. He didn't even court her or anything! Oscar at least kissed the girl he's trying to convince. He's gay for crying out loud, can't imagine kissing a woman high on list of things to do but he did damn it! Marian and Dashiell haven't even done that, let alone gone a true date or anything. I do like him, it just feels like he's jump the gun alot. It seems like he's looking more for a mother for his daughter than an actual wife. Which isn't cool dude! I do like how Marian got around saying yes, that was creative.

How cruel to do that to Aunt Ada and Luke. It's just evil! I just bust into tears. She finally finds her person only to have this happen. Aunt Ada has the purest of hearts she and Luke don't deserve this!! All I know is there better be a goddamn miracle happen and he lives!!! When Aunt Ada comes down stairs and Aunt Agnes is waiting for her just being her big sister. I couldn't take it, I started sobbing right along with Aunt Ada. Because not matter what Aunt Agnes said or does she loves her little sister.

I really don't like what their doing with Peggy and her boss! This week I'm liking she's all get away you're married. Just hope it stays that way. Because other wise it's just going to come off as badly for both characters. I really don't like her boss! Beyond he's already married! All I know is if I heard the line my wife doesn't understand me like you do. I might scream!

Ok I'm so confused what Oscar is up with the investment. I am glad he moved in direction that might lead to something more then friendship. I do like them together.

Can George please be a good man to his workers. He's such a good man in so many other respects. When he was in the head of labor union house it was easy to see he cared. Especially the fact that son worked at the plant or that the children didn't go school or have one to go to. He's not like the guy that works for him. George isn't a heartless, unfeeling, subhuman who would of gladly killed all those men and not even blinked an eye. So I'm hoping we'll see George do the right by working with the labor union to come with deal that works with for both sides. Also see build a school, George Russell is a fictional character after all why not make him like say Milton Hershey who really champion for his workers, build them homes, schools, a hospital and everything else in Hershey, Pennsylvania so they could work more easily at his plant. Because it's like we can him wanting do that. He stop those soldiers from shooting on the striking workers, where the other dude would of been happy with countless die and wouldn't of cared, he'd all been price of doing business he's just subhuman!

I think it so amazing what Jack did with clock! I definitely don't think he shouldn't give up. Love how everyone in the house expects one believe in him and gave him the money to go to patton office.

Can we take a minute to talk about Armstrong. They show us how horrible her mother is ok I can get that, but there are people with horrible parents that don't become that. I'm living proof of that! So what else is her deal!?! Because she's one dimensional at this point, even after them showing us her mother it's still impossible to have any empathy or simple care for her. She's just the most bitter, jaded, miserable character of the whole series. If anyone would be entitled to feel that way it would be Peggy's, her baby son died but she's nothing like that. So I hope they give us more on Armstrong character. Because I'm so tried of her being a buzz kill, shit Aunt Agnes isn't that bad!! When she said that stuff when Jack's patton get approved, truthfully I just really wanted to slap her. Because being cruel and horrible is a choice, it's abusive. It's not because of how she was raised with her mother if that was case she's be like to everyone. She's not, if she was like that with say Aunt Agnes her ass would of been fired by now. She's selective on who she's abusive too.

I'm over Mr. McAllister playing both side! I feel he needs to be loyal to one side now. I of course I want it to Bertha's. personally find Mrs. Astor too arrogant, overblown, way too many people been kissing her ass for so long that thinks she just be a bitch to everyone. Or that her personality because outside her daughter we haven't seen her be truly nice to anyway not ever Mr. McAllister. It's she walks in a room she just expects them all just to kiss her ass. Where Bertha generally nice to people, especially her staff. Which is one of things I do really love about her. I do wish be less shape with Gladys. She keep Gladys in a golden box than snap at her when she doesn't understand something. It's like Bertha you only have yourself to blame if Gladys doesn't understand these things. Chill woman! Gladys looked so hurt by Bertha words and tone. I understand that feeling very well. I would really love to see a scene where Gladys stands up to Bertha when she snaps at her and Bertha realize what she's doing. And they have a moment where Bertha said she's going to stop doing that. Because we have seen it in her Bertha way she does truly love both her children deeply.

I do have to say I want more Bertha in last two episodes she's been seriously lacking. Or at least it felt lacking to me. I know there are bunch of other story lines going on and need they need equal attention but I still want more Bertha!!

Today In History

Nat King Cole, legendary singer, pianist, and entertainer, was born in Montgomery, AL, on this date March 17, 1919.

By the 1950s, Cole emerged as a popular solo performer. He scored numerous hits, with such songs as “Nature Boy,” “Mona Lisa,” “Too Young” and “Unforgettable.” In the studio, Cole got to work with some of the country’s top talent, including Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald, and famous arrangers such as Nelson Riddle.

Cole made television history in 1956 when he became the first African American performer to host a variety TV series. The Nat King Cole Show featured many of the leading performers of the day, including Count Basie, Peggy Lee, Sammy Davis Jr. and Tony Bennett.

His daughter Natalie Cole included a cover of the song Unforgettable on her album Unforgettable… with Love. It was certified 7× platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), and won the Grammy Award for Album of the Year, for which Cole became the first African-American woman to win the award.

Descriptions & Propaganda

All Of Me

Composed by Gerald Marks and Seymour Simons

Notable versions: Louis Armstrong (x), Billie Holiday (x), Charlie Parker (x)

Propaganda: an obvious pick maybe, but hey, this is obviously an all time classic. I've always been kind of low key obsessed with the chord progression in this song, even though it's kind of simple it works so well. Just a fantastic classic tin pan alley composition.

The Shadow Of Your Smile

Composed by Johnny Mandel, with lyrics by Paul Francis Webster

Notable versions: Wes Montgomery (x), Astrud Gilberto (x), Tony Bennett (x)

Propaganda: written for the 1965 Elizabeth Taylor-Richard Burton movie THE SANDPIPER

fo4 companions favorite songs? thank u <333

Thank you for the request! I'm doing just all songs, not just Fallout 4 type songs if that's alright! And I kind of branched out into the music they like, also.

Cait: Naturally, Cherry Bomb by The Runaways. She likes Lil Peep.

Curie: Soldier, Poet, King by The Oh Hellos. Yes, yes, I know it's a popular song because of the quiz but it just makes me think of her.

Codsworth: Just sticks to the classics, the typical Fallout music style. But his favorite is definitely I Don't Want To Set The World On Fire by The Ink Spots.

Paladin Danse: I don't care what you say I REFUSE to acknowledge the fact that he only likes country. Lady Macbeth In Chains by Sufjan Stevens and Angelo De Augustine. I just think he'd really like it.

Deacon: WAP by Megan Thee Stallion and Cardi B. Likes the soundcloud rappers, ironically.

Hancock: Likes soundcloud rappers, unironically. Would also listen to Megan Thee Stallion, but instead he branches out. His favorite is Tuned In Freestyle. Honestly though, really rocks with Labrinth.

MacCready: Surf Curse, 100%. His favorite is In My Head Till I'm Dead by Surf Curse, but also likes some other songs like Black Out Days by Phantogram.

Nick Valentine: His favorite song of all time is La vie en rose by only Louis Armstrong. Likes classical music more than anything. Refuses to listen to rap.

Piper: Definitely likes Current Joys and Lorde. Her favorite is A World Alone by Lorde. Sometimes listens to new music, but she prefers to stay with what she has.

Preston Garvey: Mr. Garvey my beloved, I know for a fact you listen to Mr Loverman by Ricky Montgomery and To Build A Home by Patrick Wilson late at night.

X6-88: Honestly, I think this guy would love phonk-style music. Like Lost by Crim3s. Sole made him listen to Cpr by cupcakKe once. Never looked at them the same after that.

EXTRA

Elder Maxson: Unashamedly listens to Viva la Vida by Coldplay on repeat.
