Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaEdward forbids his daughters from going to the circus because of its disreputable nature and implicitly compares female acrobats to prostitutes. Toby Huss, who plays Edward, previously starred in the show Carnivale, about a traveling circus during the Great Depression. Ironically, given Edward's concern for his daughter's morals, Huss' character on Carnivale ran a peep show/prostitution ring which featured his daughters as performers.
- GoofsBen says that he does not vote a party line ticket. In the 1850s, "split ticket" voting, or voting for candidates of more than one party, was very difficult, if not impossible. Most voting was done with ballots which were pre-printed by the various parties and distributed to supporters. It would be another few decades before the secret or "Australian" ballot, which was provided by the government and listed all candidates, regardless of party, became popular in the United States.

Emily Dickinson: There's gonna be a war. And a million men will die. And then a million snowflakes will fall on their graves.
Featured review
Felliniesque
I just loved the circus sequence, I loved how it started and how it ended, in the last shot, Hailee Steinfeld radiates a deep and dry pain that illuminates the misfortune in Emily Dickinson's life.
I'm not sure if the circus sequence was a little bit to Fellini, but it just felt like a Fellini movie, I liked the true colors element, like the dad masquerade on Austin's face, the multiple shapes of nature in Emily's skin, or the kiss between the two men, surreal but admirable.
I hope the next couple of episodes will continue like this one, when the series displays more of this fateful moments.
