The Fall of House of Usher Episode 6 Reaction | Goldbug

[@Micoke12]

Even if she did cheat, that wouldn't be an excuse for her husband to withhold medical treatment and torture her. Especially when she's in so much pain already--that is more than enough punishment. Just get a divorce! That man is a sadistic control freak, plain and simple.

[@DEGriffSoc]

For sure. He's easily the most repulsive of the children. Coasting along while everything is handed to him and then his life gets the slightest disruption to his expectations and he becomes a monster.

[@mereassassinates550]

Had the genders been the other way around your opinion would be completely different

[@Micoke12]

@@mereassassinates550 No it wouldn’t. Torturing people is evil, full stop. If it were a woman torturing her cheating ex I would be disgusted too. In what world is pulling out all of someone’s teeth a reasonable response to infidelity?

[@mereassassinates550]

@@Micoke12 I highly doubt that….Question did the British brother deserve to die??? His only crime was he was lying & cheating on his partner…If he deserves to die for that…Than soo dose the married woman who abandoned her daughter & husband to go to a sex party

[@Micoke12]

@@mereassassinates550 Not sure what you even mean by “deserve.” They didn’t die because they “deserved” too. They died because (**SPOILERS**) their father literally made a deal with the devil (or whatever entity she was) and condemned them all to death. Under your logic, people should be given the death penalty for cheating. It’s 2023, not 1523.

He gave her the drugs that paralyzes you so she couldn't talk to her daughter. If you go back and listen he said it will last 6 hours. Thats why he also said i want to make sure you can see and hear me and she reacted by blinking twice.

[@Syntell]

He's a full on monster.

The color green, the negative aspects of it represents boredom, lack of joy, stagnation and the most prominent negative trait; Envy. Tammy is seen to hate herself more than anyone in the family and is often jealous of her other family members, who always seem to get something from Roderick, which is why she despises the bastards and dislikes her brother because she thinks that she deserves that money because she didnt need her fathers money/influence to build her company.

[@classylady107]

Green gives out peaceful vibes. I learn a lot about color psychology

[@kellifranklin9872]

The “Madness is or is not the loftiest form of intelligence” did come from Poe. The movie on this episode is Poe’s “Pit and the Pendulum.” The way this whole series uses Poe’s poetry in the dialogue is just brilliant writing. I really enjoyed y’alls reactions and commentary to this episode. It keeps getting better!

[@Syntell]

Thank you for spending your time with us. More episodes are on their way.

[@aerial1824]

Every child had a color in their episode which is based on Poe’s Red Death story Tamerlane’s color was supposed to represent envy and mostly madness

[@Syntell]

Great observation. Thank you.

[@giveboopstothesnek4482]

@@Syntell How I saw it also was that if you place two mirrors facing each other and look into them, the color will appear to become green

[@darrylhughes7797]

The actress who plays Juno really lost her leg after an accident lead to years of complications that finally resulted in her having it removed.

[@Louise-wk5yf]

The "what the fxxk are we doing here" scene will always be funny to me. 😂

[@jmboyd65]

From Wikipedia: The Raven in Ancient Egypt The raven's role as a guardian of the deceased is a recurrent theme in ancient Egyptian mythology. Nephthys, the goddess of the dead and overseer of funerary rites, is often depicted with the crow or raven as one of her symbols.

[@hanni38390]

I like to think Verna is Nephthys.

[@Syntell]

Thank you for this 😊

[@tkaki6029]

I can’t wait for all these reactors to get to E8. The entire episode is amazing from start to finish. The “raining” scene, the “poverty of you” scene, the “this brings me no joy” scene, the meeting w/the lawyer, etc etc. Such an amazing season. For this ep, I really felt for her when she’s telling herself she fked it all up. Her father ruined her.

[@33-vertebrae]

Stop the spoilers, holy shit.

[@Painocus]

Each of the kids' deaths has a colour associated with it. It's a referrence the Masque of the Red Death, where Prospero's party has different rooms painted in different colours and he dies in the red room. And also to one of the film adaptions of that story where the Red Death (in the red hood and the mask) meet up after the fact with a group of other "deaths" each wearing a different colour matching the rooms. Also despite the episode title being Goldbug, Tammy's plot is mainly based on another Poe story "William Wilson". The "clue" is in her husband's name "Bill Wilson".

[@liseu.2271]

Every Usher has a color. Go back and check, Perry's color was 😅 I'll let you figure out the other colors😊

[@ProblemsNeverEnd]

Green is the color of absinthe. Rumor was that Edgar Allen Poe liked to drink absinthe. At the time, absinthe was believed to cause a person to hallucinate and lose time.

[@joannesuzieburlison7128]

How can you not feel bad for Juno? She's so nice.

[@kaseanballou1389]

This episode is one of the crazy thus far. But get ready because your about to get all of your questions answered.

[@chelscara]

I loved this episode so much. I see so much of my pre-therapy self in Tammy and it’s very bittersweet to see the kind of person I could have easily become, filled with envy and self hatred. And the end is almost peace, I remember that feeling too. Like it could be over and I could be done trying. I can never explain how different life feels when you’re not just waiting to die. With all the amazing visuals and intense storylines, I hope people take away the individual lessons too, because the ‘kids’ faults were just so real. Ya know, except Frederick man wtf.

[@jcqlnr464]

The different color themes during different childrens deaths could be a nod to the story The Mask of the Red Death. In that story each room in the castle that the rich people and Prospero were hold up in had a different color lighting on the night he threw a party and the red death showed up.

[@eleanorrigby9556]

You're my favorite people reacting to House of Usher. Great dynamic between the three of you and I like that you include more than only snippets of the episode (as other reactors do) and your reactions and thoughts are really fun and interesting. I agree that both Madeline actresses, young and old, are fantastic. You guys would probably loooove Battlestar Galactica (2003) where Mary McDonnell brilliantly plays the president of the universe, haha. Seriously, you may wanna check that show out (if you ever run out of shows to react to).

[@Syntell]

We got an OG in the House. Battlestar was a jam frfr

[@kelseyj.c7828]

Cheating is wrong but no one deserves what he’s doing. And at the start I thought he was the least cruel one

[@falsenostalgia-shannon]

I don’t know what it was, but I was creeped out the most by Froderick from the beginning. Guess I’ve known too many fake-nice people at this point and can catch it easily :/

[@alwaysbam]

Madeline was unintentionally hilarious

[@Syntell]

She dropped bars all season long too.

[@joannesuzieburlison7128]

Pit and the Pendulum

[@masteronionnorth2341]

Speaking of incest... People should rewatch episode one: Roderick and Madeline are sleeping in the same bed.

[@jaydensmith3972]

It’s scary black men really relate and empathize with on screen abusers…insane

[@classylady107]

Scary? please clarify your statement before give my response.

[@jeffmartin1026]

I see you are starting to take this series seriously and not treating it as a comedy, as you have before this.
