Sexy Dickinson, as we at Vulture call it, has arrived, joining theWho Fucks Industrial Complex.
Are we laughing with her or at her or what?
Are she and Ems even in the same place on the time-space continuum?
But lets get into our episode here: with Em, in bed.
(Should I have a shawly thing for this exact purpose?
Why cant her brother do it?
Because water fetching is agirljob.
Everybodys wearing American Girl Doll dresses to pluck chickens, as you do.
Hailee Steinfelds delivery, pristine: Yes.
Youre not a cat, Emily.
No, tragically, I am a woman.
Anyway, she is spoken for.
She is in love WITH DEATH.
Hes such a gentleman.
Thats basically the speed of internet.
Ems dad, making his stock rise with me, says he doesnt care if Em gets married.
Get it, Sue!
Sue has no other family, on account of how her sister Mary (the healthy one!)
These two lovebirds might move to Michigan, but Ems dad puts the kibosh on it.
Sues entire family is dead, so shes really in a bind.
You dont even like him, Em insists.
You told me you didnt respect his intellect.
They look like a little Free People catalogue out there, having feelings in the trees.
Is itstillthe same day?
Because now were at an extremely speedy funeral for Sues sister Mary.
(Ems review: Minell be better.)
Post-funeral, Austin is whining about how Em is a freak.
His big news: Hes running for Congress!
Dont worry, hes not an abolitionist because hes not a radical.
Here for a show that is here to drag moderates!
(Em: Sometimes I feel like a slave.)
He also wants the railroad to come to Amherst.
(Me: But not theundergroundrailroad, amirite?)
Mama Dickinson squeals about the wedding list, to which Sue offers, My whole family is dead.
So I guess all the single adults can get plus-ones, at least?
Em reads the room and decides its big announcement time for her, too.
But her news about her poem being published, to use a technical term, really kills the vibe.
Papa Dickinson does NOT approve of a woman seeking to build herself a literary reputation.
Ive written, like, 834 recaps, to getmyliterary reputation.
Thats the kind of commitment it takes.
Everybody hightails it out of there so Em can be ripped to shreds by her dad.
He has been rebuilding the family name ever since Grandpa Dickinson, a drunk ditherer, destroyed it.
Ems punishment is more cleaning, so, basically what she was supposed to be doing this whole time?
Or he just isnt creative enough to come up with another idea.
and who is played by WIZ KHALIFA in Mad Hatter cosplay.
I love … everything about this?!
Death tells Em she will be the only Dickinson they talk about in 200 years.
A war is acoming.
I mean, the girl was at a funeral four hours ago.
Death is not a sexy abstraction to Sue!
First, her brother fesses up to being happy that he isnt going to Michigan.
He begs her not to get married and move away.
Is this a healthy father-daughter relationship?
I feel like … no.
And the next line in her poem.
