[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh and this isn't the ball but I want to note: the dress Bridget wears to Jack's house is easily the most luxurious thing we've ever seen a servant wear on the show while she's still working as a servant, and initially it felt very anachronistic to me, but then I remembered that Jack gave her a return on her investment in his clock and of course she spent it on a dress, that's exactly how someone in her situation would spend it. And then this results in her looking correct when Jack asks her to sit down and dine with him, instead of looking like a house maid sitting at the master's table. It was a nice little detail and I liked how it could be explained and then how it shows the way Jack and Bridget are set to represent a new kind of American, a sort of person who will come to define the country in the 20th century in a way that neither the old money Astors nor the robber baron Russells will -- immigrants from nothing who use hard work and ingenuity to build wealth and fortune. It's genuinely thrilling and for my money the best writing on the show right now. [/quote]
