Dying is a wild night and a new road
How dare they call Oscar Wilde's remarks about Dostoevsky's death "jokes," and not "rhyme and pun-ishment?"
I'm disappointed.
5 years late, but that's a truly punny comment and I love it!
There is no justice
Also, H. G. tripping over things and being an unassuming genius is my favorite. I desperately don't want him to die.
But if he does, then he can be brought back and date Lenore.
100% he's the murderer
+unfabgirl OMG YEEESSS
Lauren Redding I don't even care if he is the murderer. I adore him all the same.
"Is that a tttthreat, Ms. Bronte?" Oscar Wilde is my absolute favorite.
Brrronte
YAS
When he said something to the effect "I have a shirt for every event. You never know where you may wake up" I way rolling!!
4:36 for anyone wishing to relive that moment
SEVERAL.
STRONGLY.
WORDED.
POEMS.
Who’s Emily Dickinson?
@@jonahw7915 The cat
Fitting 😂
me, knowing full-well this was a MURDER mystery: I didn't sign up for this
Same
I honestly would've been happy just watching these characters keep interacting without any murders for hours and I'm sad everytime one of them dies
@@misterfluffypants24 I don't care for any of them, I just want to see Agatha Christie. Murder mysteries are fun because there are dead bodies and only one truth.
@@thichinhphan4010 To each their own
*counts stab wounds* "she's been stabbed... " I would have never known!!!
Whoa... wait a minute... George Eliot was a woman? This whole time!? I call Shenanigans!!
No, I think he just dies before he could finish the sentence. I’m pretty sure he was going to say womanizer.
Professor Higgly yeah like a real lady killer
@@lopsideddog7925 So a murderer?
@@GCWeber
No! Just...
Hey, it's a real shame about all those dead people, huh?!
Nah I don’t believe it. This is so unrealistic, George Eliot was a woman?
IS THAT A THRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREAT, MISS BRONTE?!?!?
NO WHY LAUREN NO WHY NOOOOOOOO SHE WAS THE BEST WHY NOOOOO
What if there's not one murderer, but everyone murdered someone because they had the opportunity, and could blame it on the murderer?
0_0
I love this theory. It's like the opposite of Murder on the Orient Express.
And you just made the show even more interesting than it already is!
This is my new favourite theory.
oh i like this one
All I can hope is that this whole series is a lead up to Poe making a glorious pun about ghost writers.
Damn it
Goodbye, theory that Agatha Christie did it.
Don't rule her out yet they left without checking the body lol
Have you read Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None? No spoilers, but check out the plot and compare it to this. This theory is still alive and well!!
Hahaha yeah just like the book except without the 10 little indians lol
Still, HG Wells, Curt Mega Flashback person and Agatha Christie are my guesses. Also, I predict Charlotte Bronte or Ernest Hemingway will die.
My theory went out the door a few weeks ago: that there would be a twist that the whole thing takes place in 2016 and they're all dead. :D
Absolutely dying at Agatha's arrival. (Pun wasn't intended, but now it is)
Well it's a real shame about all those dead people, huh?
Yes please bring back the ghost of George Eliot. I need more Lauren Lopez in my life.
I agree. We all need more Lauren Lopez. She's such a wonderful person.
The Agatha Christie thing made me laugh way too hard. What an irony that Emily is less present in the intro than a character who literally just made an appearance as a corpse. :D
The comedic timing in this episode was so freaking good and I hope that George/Mary comes back as a ghost. Lauren played her so freaking well.
I think Emily did all of it. Somehow. Idk.
NOOOO NOT LAUREN!!!!
+
@Sarah Patunas Same :((
+
Don't be mean to lauren
I think the worst part is each week I get more and more scared because I love the characters more and more....and then they die.
Game of Thrones: Authors Edition
++
True!
That's the fandom lifestyle. . . . Its not for everyone.
Better avoid Joss Whedon then ;)
"She was stabbed."
Karen Mae WHAT?!?!! I thought she was suffocated by a ruler!
Sure?
The Agatha Cameo of all Cameos.
I swear I laughed so hard when Hemingway hit Wells in the head. How old am I? (Btw this series is great and should never end bye)
and Oscar was next. that's why I don't talk with my hands
It has to end sometime, they're going to run out of authors eventually (but I agree, this is wonderful)
when both oscar and HG got hit in the head, i cried it was so funny!
At 8:26 there is the absolute quickest wellenore moment as HG reaches out to place his hand on Lenores back but quickly withdraws before doing so! Very HG of him
I began wondering it the past few episodes but the manner in which HG Wells has made himself so love-able and the sort of head detective in casting blame on others makes me nervous he's involved. Like, wouldn't it be the worst for us all to fall in love with him and then it turns out he's a bad guy?
At this point I wouldn't even care if it means that he won't be killed off...
Honestly same
“is this arousing or what”
charlotte: *confusion*
Anyone else want a Oscar and George spin-off?!?! 🙋🏼🙋🏻♂️🙋🏼🙋🏻♂️
Me me me me!
*raises both arms and legs*
Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
George Eliot? A WOMAN?! That was honestly the biggest shock of this episode.
hey stop killing my faves! also, Agatha Christie gets like extra 10 points for the best arrival
I'm trying to think of the significance of George Eliot's death, or more, the style of her death. Dostoevsky was murdered with an axe to the head, a reference to the murder in Crime and Punishment. Mary Shelley was electrocuted, playing on the zap of life needed for Frankenstein's monster. Louisa May Alcott dies of coughing, mirroring Beth's death. So, how does Eliot's death by portrait fit in?
Having only read Middlemarch, I do remember paintings, specifically a portrait, being important to the lead character Dorothea. In the novel, the portrait symbolises her love for another man, Will, who she can only be with if she gives up her inerited fortune from her dead husband. In the end she does, happy to be herself and with the man she loves.
When Eliot in Poe Party finally admits she is a woman, it is the first time we see her as herself. It is only because of the portrait (which in this case has unfortunately killed her), but both portraits give them the strength to be their true selves. IDK????
Or I'm completely pulling this out of my butt and Eliot was actually chopped down in the prime of her life by a rogue scenic painting.
Oscar let George go into the bathroom first, the killer expected to see Oscar and therefore used a painting as the weapon, as a reference to 'the picture of Dorian Gray', a novel by Oscar Wilde
Charlotte deliberatly soiled Oscars shirt to get him into the bathroom not expecting Gorge to get there first. Beeing killed by a picture of yourself was a realy fitting thing for Oscar and remember how Edgar stated the picture was not his? It was brought there for this specific purpose
Poes' face at the end. "god no not a seance"
Haveing one ghost around is bad enough, but at least lenore is fab . . . Cant say the same for all others
The funniest thing to me about this series is that half of the writers weren't even alive at the same time. They didn't write about a group of authors who were all friends (though some of them did know each other). Each character was specifically chosen.
Birth and Death Dates
Mary Shelley 1797-1851

George Eliot 1819-1880
Fyodor Dostoyevsky 1821-1881

"You never know where you're going to end up in the morning."
"Why?"
My favorite joke that nobody ever mentions.
Seriously I love H.G.Wells more than life!
+
Same
Literosexual We all love tha socially awkward, sci-fi nerd, and inventor with a really embarrassing name 👍
Oscar's gasp at 2:30 KILLED me! Also, everyone's reaction when George Eliot reveals he is actually a woman was PRICELESS. Worst kept secret ever.
Just going to throw this out there since I haven't seen it yet, but if there are red herrings/ fake deaths then Eddie has GOT to be a suspect! He has a motive to kill basically everyone based on their past experiences, and the "poison" that he had would have been the easiest to fake (no visible wounds). PLUS, they hid his body so quickly that he could have been getting around with that secret elevator this whole time. Also, "is this arousing or what?"
The fact that Earnest calls the knives "living" in the kitchen to me is very funny
Biggest laugh of the series so far (for me) is H. G. Wells getting knocked over due to Hemingway's gesticulations, followed by Oscar Wilde immediately after.
could be wrong, but the "is this arousing or what" sounds like a slight character break and i love it
"and he hates going to Spain......" lollllllll
Noooo, Agatha! I was waiting for you! I hope she's the one raised by the seance.
I think they all will be at least briefly.
That would be rad, but she was stabbed in the back, so she likely didn't see her killer. I DON'T KNOW THOUGH, DUDE. EXCITING TIMES OF SPECULATION ABOUND
don't eat while watching this!! repeat don't eat while watching this! I just spilled so many things :/
was eating grapes before seeing your comment. thank you for saving a life xD
that part when they hit Wells and Wilde make me spill my juice :/
*Looks at body for a period of time*
*"She was stabbed"*
that got me lmao
Counting her wounds
Agatha Christie's here! Now we'll solve the crime! Also, Joey's face in the vault is priceless.
I bet nobody was actually murdered but it was all set up by Agatha to fuck with Poe or something
also Emily tasted the soup and is still alive so it can't be poisoned (or she has an antidote) which means Dantes is probably still alive. And since he had quarrel with everybody, it's possible that he faked his death to murder the others unsuspected!
The other option is that only Eddie's bowl of soup was poisoned (which may mean he wasn't the intended victim at all as I seem to remember that there was some confusion about the seating in the first episode, but I might be wrong about that).
KitKat Kait ohhh true! Time to watch ep1 again i guess
and the Agatha that appeared is a figurine, because I don´t believe a real body, dead or not, would stand and fall down like that... although that might be just an "artistic licence" like the lightning bolts while electroluting Mary Shelley
Will never not laugh at Charlotte's reaction to Hemingway's "is this arousing or what"
Okay but how HG and Lenore kept glancing at each other and how he hesitantly put his hand on her back when they left the room tho
Argh, so much to say. I'm really getting into this more and more.
I love the week-on-week build up to who-done-it expert Agatha Christie arriving, only to immediately kill her off. Brilliant writing.
Even more brilliant is having George Eliot as a woman trying badly to get away with being a man, it's been one of the funniest things about each week.
Here's who I think is doing it (as I've not seen anyone else write this): either Poe is doing it, kill off Eddie so he can be with Annabelle, and kill off all these other successful authors so he will be the best author around; or it's Leone, so she can be alone again with Poe.
And well done to HG Wells for suggesting a seance. Last week it occurred to me this would be a good idea to do as someone murdered might have seen who murdered them. OF COURSE THERE COULD BE MORE THAN ONE MURDERER.
"Is that a tttttttthhhhhhhhhhhhrrrrrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaat miss Bronte!" 🔪🔪
oh my god, you killed off my favourite character! bring him/her back!!!!!
Also everyone in this cast is a gift to humanity. That is all.
Edgar Allan Poe/Victorian Literature + Clue + Starkid = This amazing series!
"She was stabbed." Oh, wow, I didn't know that before. Thank you, Mr. Poe.
Finally, Joey showing his true chaotic energy.
I love the detail of how Ocscar looks and is in focus when George talks about courting women, and than takes George under his wing trying to set her up with Annabelle. It is quite subtil in the final cut, but there is a cut scene that gives that whole a bit wierd exchange meaning
This is a year late, but where did you find the cut scene? Was it a Shipwrecked Patreon thing?
@@spicedch4i not a patreon thing, no clue anymore stubbled somewhere over outtakes, probably one of their channels
No one calls a Brontë sister "basic" and gets away with it!
They had to kill Agatha immediately because she would have solved the mystery in two minutes flat
The camera work at 7:39 on "wait where is ernest" is SO good
It's just so silly and fun
6:46 that was definitely a lauren scream, i just know it
edit: 💔
I love the length of these. I'm so sorry people don't appreciate you Emily. Oh Lauren/George, I love you. I think I love dresses as much as George. Sean and Sinead has done such an amazing job writing this. Poor Agatha. Same George, I'm a woman also.
I'm guessing it was Emily Dickinson. It's always the quiet ones.
Why does this series bring me so much joy?
Love this series so much! "Is this arousing or what?" Emily's reaction was hilarious :'D
'You may not believe it but, I, George Eliot, am a woman!'
Every single time, there is a quote that is killing me. "I think the murder is doing alright". Thank you for another amazing episode!
"Your only crime is being basic." oh, Lenore haha! I still feel like Ernest did it. EMILY WAS NOTICED! "I, George Eliot, am a woman." I loved everything in this episode!!
Three years later, "She was stabbed" STILL makes me laugh EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.
Okay if anyone is basic it's TOTES Annabel OBVS.
How dare you.
(Love that dress)
(Thank you.)
@Sonali That reminds me of Lydia Bennet in LBD. Who is also played by Mary Kate.
Yes! Glad you got the reference :)
Was the music designed for this film? What is it called because I really love the the intro song and I kinda want to buy it lol
Our score was composed by our FANTASTIC composer, Dylan Glatthorn! We will be releasing the soundtrack in three parts and the first part (music from chapters 1-4) is now available on Bandcamp! glatthorn.bandcamp.com/album/music-from-edgar-allan-poes-murder-mystery-dinner-party-chapters-i-iv
Thank you so much!! Tell your amazing composer he did a wonderful job with the score! Also this series is incredible and I dearly hope you make a second season! 💙
Thank ya!~
Omg the composer replied, that's so lucky! Thanks @Rachel Watkins, I was thinking the same thing.
I've never been more excited about a séance.
tbh I kinda miss Louisa May (and her 'crime of fashion' dress).
This is just by far the best thing Shipwrecked has done.
Awww, I only just noticed that the precious raven on the place cards is reading a book!
okay, am i the only one who's suspecting annabel/eddie? they're the only ones (besides lenore) who aren't based on actual people, and, well, they seem to be the ones people are least likely to suspect, particularly in-universe.
Seance means authors coming back as ghosts yes? Also Agatha! Best entrance!
So with the (unconfirmed) death of Agatha Christie and George Elliot being smashed by a painting, it's looking a lot less likely that this is a parody of "And then There were None" (though keep an eye out for a faked death).
As for suspects for this set of murders, assuming no faked deaths or murder contraptions, the only suspects for the murder of George Elliot could be Annabelle Lee, Hemmingway, Wilde, and Bronte. If George Elliot's (?) scream corresponds with her death, then Poe, Wells, Dickenson, and Lenore are all together and are cleared of this murder. I include Bronte with the suspects just because there's a mystery trope where a tied up person actually finds a way to commit the murder and uses being tied-up as an alibi.
It's looking more and more like the people are dying in ways that were depicted in their books. If anyone can fill in the gaps, please help think through this theory.
Dantes- Count of Monte Cristo?
Alcott - Little Men? (Coughing)
Shelley - Frankenstein (Presence of electricity)
Dostoevsky- Crime and Punishment (Axe death)
Christie - Murder on the Orient Express (Stabbed multiple times)
George Elliot- ?
George Elliot got killed by the picture of Oscar, intended for oscar: the picture of dorian gray
Yes! A seance! Perfect! What else could possibly go wrong??
Oscar Wilde x George Eliot
H.G. Wells x Lenore
No! Not George! ;A;
She -- he -- and Oscar were my favorites.
agatha certainly lived up to expectations
I love how at 8:10 you can SEE H.G. doing murder math in his head
Rewatched H.G. Wells "oOooOOhhhHhh" about a million times
"This is my most foppish shirt and I must attend to it immediately." My god, Oscar is the best character left.
Christie would make things too easy, wouldn't she? This is an exact parody of her famous "And Then there were None", at least in terms of plot set up. Prestigious guests invited by a mutual friend/sender anonymous, getting offed one by one as the night goes on, old nursery rhyme involved or not. And now two of my favorite authors are dead, both women as well, although George didn't reveal herself until her death rattle.
Ugh! This is all getting rather ludicrous and horrendously dark... I love it.
I’m living for Oscar Wilde’s puns
This is like game of thrones, poor george :'( but i am excited for the seance, i still cannot get over how amazing this is, and the music is just perfect, i thought for sure agatha would tell us who the killer was, but maybe she still can
Thanks!~
Well I guess Agatha's not gonna be solving it all....
I just noticed that in the opening credits, they stop including the people who have died. Probably should have noticed that earlier, but nice touch.
6:40 When I come home after school after getting 3 hours of sleep the previous night
George elliot never got to get that dress for ...that lady... who he is courting... successfully
I'D LOVE LAY DOWN WATCHING FOR CENTURIES Edgar & HG awkward moments and Poe cursing like a child plus Fashion Police with Lenore, Wilde, Elliot and Bronte.
"Is that a thrrrrrreat?" I effing love Wilde
Theory: They all planned to fake their deaths to f*ck with Poe :D
Studying abroad with no wifi but I always make sure to watch the new episodes! Also I'm in love with Charlotte's dress and can't help it. But what if it was Annabella and we didn't see it because we have Edgar's view of her from the past series?
I'm really starting to distrust Annabelle Lee
Why?
Also, great job sending up Murder by Death with Agatha's entrance.
6:42 i was NOT expecting that-
Loving all the Clue references! Agatha's death definitely gave me flashbacks to the Cook's death from the movie! I'm excited to see what happens at the seance!
I have to say, this cheered me up after being struck with horror by the latest developments in the presidential election season. In this time when a divisive person who seemingly has the vocabulary of an average parakeet is running for president, it is especially delightful to see intelligent, witty people creating awesome things and lots of people enjoying their work. Thanks so much! :)
Thank you! Also I would very much like to create a show called "Average Parakeet"
Thanks for your creativity! (And, "Socially Awkward Edgar Allan Poe" is a fantastic incarnation of Poe. The sketch involving Girl Scout cookies is one of my favorite things on the Internet. :) )
YESS! Ghosts of all the peoples!
I've never been so excited for a seance before XD
It looks like Erma is going to finally have something to say in the next episode!
" is this arousing or what" my favorite quote
OMFG I was so excited for Agatha!!!!
