Both women are right and wrong in their arguments on this topic, and if they would actually just communicate with each other, it would solve so many problems.Įmily needs to express to Sue why she can “write only for her” without literally only writing for her. It’s definitely manufactured some drama between Emily and Sue though. So while it makes sense to me why Emily would seek out strangers to “peer review” her work, instead of relying on her family (who, as I’m sure we all know, can sugarcoat things) I wish we had moved on to something different this season.
SILICON VALLEY SEASON 3 EPISODE 2 PROFESSIONAL
Related The Morning Show Review: Fever (Season 2 Episode 10)Īnd as much as I understand that during the Civil War, Emily Dickinson had a pen-pal type relationship with Colonel Higginson, it just seems strange to me that Dickinson Season 3 has once again put Emily’s professional self-worth in the hands of another man when we already saw that in Dickinson Season 2 with Sam Bowles. Just two episodes ago she was declaring her love for the other woman, and now we’ve done a 180-degree flip, yet again. It’s made Emily’s overall season arc seem disjointed, taking one step forward and two steps back. Ella Hunt in season three of “Dickinson,” now streaming on Apple TV+.Īgain, I think Dickinson is at a disservice this season having to deal with only dropping one episode at a time with only a 10 episode run. Towards the end of this episode, when Emily gets the sad news that Fraser Sterns, aka the “Nobody” from her visions, has died at war, she does say “I guess I did see the future.” I’m hoping she does a little more soul-searching on that in the next episode. I just wish we had more context surrounding them, or more acknowledgment of them from the poet herself. As fun as these fantastical episodes are, Emily’s premonitions, or whatever you’d like to call them, have always seemed a bit out of place in Dickinson‘s three seasons.Īre they representative of Emily’s vivid imagination? Sure. Regardless, Emily transports her and her sister off into the future via Gazebo time machine landing smack dab in the middle of the 20th century. We’ll just have to believe she looked great for her age! Though it was easier to surmise the year this season was set in due to Sue giving birth, the year 1862 puts Emily Dickinson at 32 years old. Side note: Dickinson has done well to keep its timeline fairly vague throughout the entire series, instead just using general time periods as points of reference. In Plath’s case, Emily somehow imagines the future, jumping from 1862 to 1955. Earlier this season, Emily dreamt up an imaginary meeting with one of her contemporaries, Walt Whitman, while reading a volume of his works. In this case, we meet Sylvia Plath, played by the ultra-talented Chloe Fineman. It’s another episode where Emily imagines an encounter with another major literary figure (played by a genius comedian) and we get to see how two geniuses would interact with each other.
On its own “The Future never spoke,” is a half-hour of Dickinson at its best - a whimsical look into one of history’s greatest literary figures. Chloe Fineman in “Dickinson” season three, now streaming on Apple TV+. The larger part, though, is due to the fact that Dickinson only has three episodes left and these characters have been stuck in the same rut for over half the season, rehashing the same issues week over week. Part of my frustration stems from the Apple TV+ release strategy of releasing only one episode per week after a three-episode premiere. To be fair, I’ll give this week’s episode a little more credit than last week’s filler storyline, but I’m still finding myself frustrated at how the final season has progressed.

It showcases exactly what made Dickinson one of the most imaginative series on television/streaming.Īnd yet, this week where the plot has barely inched forward. First off, let me just say that on its own Dickinson Season 3 Episode 7, “The Future never spoke,” is one of the most engaging, entertaining episodes this series has dropped in the course of its lifetime.
