rear end in a top hat Businessman posted:Yeah the cleary confession was definitely the weakest aspect of the finale imo. I get that one of the main themes of the show was men doing poo poo to control women, but it felt way too devious even for him. Especially when you consider how one of the running themes for him all season was how inept he ended up being whenever he tried some surefire easy money scheme, and it was usually due to him thinking more with his heart n guts than his brains. The super intelligent and driven nurse character from season one was also such a huge letdown too. Her season arc started out so interesting for me too, with her super charismatic preacher father, and her newly revealed n rekindled former devotion to religion. I thought they might do something like have her replace her former cocaine addiction with the religion and tie that in with Thack's plot, maybe even get some more scenes with the preacher and Thack, but nope, the Dad just disappears for episodes on end, and all of a sudden she's just a sociopath gold digger.

Some exciting news came out a few days ago. Soderbergh wants 6 seasons, and The Knick might return a la American Horror Story, with the current cast playing different characters in a different era. Can't say that that sounds more appealing than a direct continuation of the current Knick to me though.quote:Soderbergh says he wants the show to continue, and that the network is waiting to hear his plans for the future. “I would like to keep going. I always thought of it as a six-year thing if we were allowed to continue. I hope we can figure it out. I hope we come up with something that I look at it and go, OK, I want to spend another two years of my life on that. Because that’s really the question. It’s an intense experience — rewarding, but I want to make sure we want to keep the bar at the same height or higher.” http://variety.com/2016/tv/news/the-knick-season-three-steven-soderbergh-1201675175/

The only outright villainous thing that Lucy does is to murder her invalid father, but even when she does that, I completely understand where she's coming from. She's the perfect match for Henry "Patricide" Robertson.

Lucy's arc is spelled out in the beginning when she was talking about how men always dissapoint her (despite sort of going behind Bertie's back for a cocaine sex romp). She's doing an empowerment thing. Bertie is the good guy in the show.

The androids are just built stronger than us; funding a cybernetics ward would be a waste of neo-shekels

Holy moly. Well I guess that confirms that Thack is stone-cold dead, then. I'm slightly wary of what the future of The Knick is but I hope they'll keep the historic theme going.

I missed the article about him wanting to direct more seasons, love this quotequote:By the way, for “Knick” fans entertaining the theory that lead character Dr. John Thackery (Clive Owen) did not actually perish while performing surgery on himself at the end of last season, the director has this to say: “I guess people have been screwed so much on these shows that if you play straight with them they don’t believe you. We killed him. He’s dead. It was his own fault.” "This isn't Walking Dead you loving idiots."
