Once again however, "Gelignite" is exceptionally well made. Vanessa Kirby was on the annoying side as Margaret and the pacing drags on occasions. If the episode was trying to make one not like Margaret, it did succeed in that and came close to going too far on that. Personally found it rather bland and one-sided and that never really was addressed. Enough compels in the story but the Margaret and Peter subplot really isn't one of the best subplots of 'The Crown'. It just felt like something was missing, the plot doesn't grab the attention as much here and whether one enjoys "Gelignite" or not does depend on whether they like how Margaret is written here and in 'The Crown' overall. There is a huge amount to love about it and most of the things that made the previous episodes of the season so brilliant are here.
"Gelignite" was a bit of a disappointment from personal opinion though. That is a great title for an episode with a fascinating unexpected meaning, and it did interest me to see Princess Margaret playing a big role in the storytelling which she had not done so before in the previous episodes. My expectations certainly were high, especially after such a fantastic previous episode. If anybody, like me, loved all the previous episodes of 'The Crown's' first season, it is totally understandable if expectations are very high for "Gelignite".
