This is my new plan for all Downton-related things. It makes it much more entertaining.

A collective dream through which we escaped our tedious weekend lives here on Jez?

I feel like this dress is missing something.

If anything, I'd say Matt Smith is what kept the last few seasons together. Moffat gave him shit to work with, and he still handled it fairly well.

Do we have word on what team Hiddles is on? Is he Team All That Is Right With The World, or Team That Other Thing With The Frosting And Shit?

...yes, and?

Can't speak for Madeleine, but I usually use "lovely" as a synonym for "awesome", "fabulous", "super friendly", or "just a really great person" unless I'm explicitly talking about something physical (hair, clothes, etc.).

I keep having to remind myself not to say "but what about" because right, we're talking about the beginning of the season.

I'm trying to picture the embalmers getting this to work.

Does anyone else ever want to be on shows like this just to see how awful it is/how much you can fuck with it? Or is that just me?

Since this is awful, how about a related but amusing story?

Just wanted to send some good thoughts your way. I'm also studying in Europe right now and it's a little stressful/disorienting at times even without having to deal with an unexpected pregnancy and abortion. I hope everything goes well for you and that you have someone you can talk to, or at the very least that you…

Really, the songs in this movie were just great. The love songs were hilarious and charming in a surprisingly not awful way, "Let It Go" makes me want to go be awesome, and basically every other song was either just really cool or touching and adorable.

That so many people have misunderstood it is evidence that in common parlance, "fornication" just means sex. I suspect he's trying to be all fancy by using that instead of "casual sex", but he's going to put off a lot of women doing that.

Banned by Apple? SOLD.

I liked it too. It looks like this is Mark's first post, but I'm hopeful.

I like this compromise. It feels weird not to refer to her as Burt all the time, but it might get very confusing for everyone who didn't know her before she was famous.

She WON'T stop!

Why would Target not want to carry Bey's CD? Are they just assuming that everyone has already bought it and so there's no point? Because that's the only explanation I can come up with.
