The only thing I didn't like about that plot is that it served to make Thomas look better when he simply complained about her out of spite. It's kind of funny in the typical "Fucking Granthams have no idea how duplicitous their staff can be" way, but I don't get how they could have gone this long without realizing how…

He certainly shan't pay his back taxes!

I'm just waiting for her to get back to her fabulous red dining gown. She looks great in black, but red is definitely her color. Lavender washes her out.

I've heard this fellow named Ponzi has some very interesting ideas about the free market!

"THINKING meat? You're asking me to believe in thinking meat!"

I don't even mind NuDisqus at this point. The redesign is improving, though it's by no means great.

He's truly history's greatest monster. I mean, it's fine for a guy who stabbed his wife with a penknife to be a public intellectual, but a guy with a few ID videos on YouTube? THANKS OBAMA.

False equivalence. DeGrasse Tyson has never questioned the credentials of a member of the scientific community on the basis of religious prejudice alone— he'd need to reject Newton's Laws if he did. You're implying that his public atheism somehow negates his significant experience as a researcher and an educator; that…

OF COCK?

So DeGrasse Tyson can't promote scientific inquiry because "many people" are too wrapped up in their own prejudices to respect someone who doesn't share their personal beliefs?

I'm glad they aren't doing those long, awkward make out sessions anymore. But yeah, they aren't all that romantic and the chemistry of cooking chili or showing her how to reach a vampire's heart is gone.

IIRC, he took over Matt because of the Gilbert ring.

That's a really, really good point. I mean, if this were real life I'd say that the State wants him to live with his adult sister, but since it's TVD-land, there really isn't a good reason for him to live in the same house as that guy who almost killed him a year and a half ago.

That's definitely my issue with it, as I mentioned immediately after that episode. And even if she doesn't want it anymore, surely she recognizes the value of the Cure as a bargaining chip.

YES. Please, yes. This would be so fucking fantastic that there is no way it would happen.

They collaborated on protecting Katherine in the woods, so there's that. Of course, Matt was dead most of the time, but dammit, @applesticker, we need him to have SOMETHING to live for!

Matt still has his bromance with Jeremy! There's that!

I don't care if she's a human or a vampire as long as she stops being boring.

I thought it might be a coagulant or something that stops the blood from moving. Or maybe it destroys blood cells?

But at least your dishes are clean and sparkly, right?
