Poldark Recap Season 2, Episode 7 Nov 16, 2016

Show notes

Poldark NOT THE FEEL GOOD EPISODE OF THE YEAR A few observations: Men Suck- except Dwight Enys who is a decent soul As women, we are our own worse enemies We need to work on our uppercuts. Fetch me the Brandywine is our new personal rallying cry. Let’s start with the good stuff so we can work up a head of steam over Ross: Good Stuff! Verity is having a baby! Caroline returns Dwight’s letters. Please don’t ever write to again. But we know, that is the oldest trick in the book. So Caroline will be back! Aunt Agatha has an outstanding show! The mail! Again, Cornwall seems to have the fastest mail in world Demelza’s right hook. Not a fan of violence but sock it to me, baby. Bad Stuff Almost 80% of the show was bad to worse to terrible The mine collapse killing several men, including new dad Tinners show up. OMG! Elizabeth’s mother literally blows a gasket! Child birth at home- I needed a slug of that Brandywine to watch the scene Elizabeth—just Elizabeth. The whole show we were screaming at the TV every time she was in a scene. All the handwringing over “doing the right thing” Oh please, girl. And Ross. Just Ross. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Poldark Recap Season 2 Episode 6 Nov 10, 2016

Show notes

More of a Random thoughts this week: Most of this episode was shot in the dark—or maybe I was sitting in the dark waiting for the election to be over, but here’s what I remember: My heart is broken for Dwight the Good Doctor and Caroline, Cheeky Heiress. Doomed from the start—but I fell for it. I think Ross and the boys there on Poldark are using some new hair products, because some great man hair this week. A lot of messy holds. Aunt Agatha cracking wise about Ross. Bright spot. Nobody does windswept like Demelza Could Elizabeth be any more pathetic? Why on earth would the French Revoltution be an issue for Trenwith? Pull yourself together there, Buttercup. And seriously. Maybe Ross isn’t calling on you because he has a wife, child and failing mine!! It’s been almost two seasons, will they ever find and copper? And why does Ross seem to have one stupid idea after another—as in, I’m going to catcha ride with these smugglers and then drink myself silly why you hold down the fort, the town, the family, okay, honey? And who the heck was that hairy , hairy man? Oh, wife killer and mining savant Mark Daniel. I stopped caring about half way through that scene. Big winner of the episode: Dwight Enys. I mean, what a man, what a man, what a mighty good man. Sticking with his people, hunting down the snitch and then beating him down in a great man-fight, then building that bonfire on the bluff to save Ross.
