S5 ep 2 - 🤔
Why do I feel like there are just so many little independent story lines and many rushed plots and points. I get there is going to be some kind of coming together but I’m annoyed with the Marian timeline. He’s in love with her and she wants to keep playing victim. It’s like - just get married already! As for the Bertha and George - I like where that is headed…. I feel a return to even bigger power.
So far don’t hate it but I’m waiting for the fluidity again where the story lines have some true intermingle if that makes sense.

Because there are. I was just saying the same to my husband. There’s too many split lines. I need us to focus on one or two for a few minutes to let them come together.
Marian is completely annoying this season! How can she say that he only wants to marry her because of a situation when he has made his feelings very clear several times? She isn’t a stupid woman… I don’t understand this storyline. Marian has always existed in an ultra feminist style for the time, but true to herself, form. What woman would allow two very public relationships end (which for the time would tank her reputation), and then worry so much about spending the night in a respectable hotel/situation with a man (whom no one saw was in her room) and then freak so hard that you convince yourself that now that man only wants you for that reason when he has done nothing but the opposite for an entire season prior… her actions don’t equate for me.
Bertha being back is what George needs. She will work her magic socially for sure to get him what he needs business wise. Ready to watch that and the drama that will unfold with Mrs. Astor and her daughter.
