An Unexpected Journey Into Fantasyland, Darlings!!!!!!!!!!! And The Historical Accuracy Is Getting Sloppy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                              For nothing was last night's episode of "Feud--Capote Vs. The Swans" called "It's Impossible."  The Perry Como song, which I recall when it came out, and served as a lovely ode to the presentation also underscored that many of the happenings within did NOT happen at all.

                                Shrimp Scampi is an Italian dish!  A restaurant like La Cote Basque would never serve that.  Take my word, girls!  I was there!  

                                   Slim and Bill Paley having an affair?  Did Laurence Leamer say that?  He sure as hell did not, and I have no idea why an otherwise respectable writer like Jon Robin Baitz would cook up something like this, unless ordered to by Ryan Murphy.

                                      Truman Capote never lasted a week in that clinic he was sent to.  I wonder where that was shot; I would love to visit that location.

                                       And the highly romanticized reunion of Truman and Babe?  Oh, come on!  Sure, it was gorgeously staged, and marvelously acted, satisfying all the "What if'ers?" in the audience, but it never happened.  He was not even invited to her funeral.

                                         Let me say if the series is now heading into some kind of alternate reality, it is going to lose the audience it has built up, including yours truly.  And how about that disgusting closet case, John O' Shea, well-acted by Russell Tovey?  It took Truman Capote adopting his daughter who wanted out of her family situation, lawsuits and other abuse before Capote got this bastard out of his life.  Capote accused O'Shea of stealing some of the manuscript of "Answered Prayers," but how would an illiterate, Irish Catholic boor from Long Island know anything about art or literature?  And Long Island is just New Jersey on the other side of the Hudson!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                           As entertaining and well-acted as it was, this episode was disappointing, and I fear for the series future.  It would be a shame to have this series unravel from a realistic show about New York's then upper crust to a Felliniesque fantasy.   What the hell is going on here?

                                              Besides, I have my own "Answered Prayers" to consider.

                                              More to be revealed, darlings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
