Okay, I didn't read that. I thought he got it from the episode. Thanks!

He just looks too good when he's being tortured.

That's what he thought, but I'm guessing the Japanese fox spirit thing will be the mysterious new Japanese character.

Goodness, what a long trailer! I want to watch this train/motorcycle wreck now.

So is Kira the kitsune? I'm assuming the canine-thing Scott saw at the end was a kitsune until otherwise specified.

I've never heard that one, but I really doubt it. How can you know you're flapping your arms hard enough to fly without looking at your hands occasionally?

I read and write in my dreams. I definitely remember seeing letters and making sense of them. I imagine it differs from person to person, though.

I'm also looking forward to seeing Derek without the stupid romance and stupider sister plots. Though how will they account for Cora's journey through space-time to become Mary, Queen of Scots?

Lydia.

Wow, I forgot about his miraculous recovery from paralysis. Season 2 really did set a new standard for lame plots.

Can you feel me?

There's a moment in S3, right before Edith's ill-fated wedding, where Mary wished her well. I SO wanted her to say, "Edith, I know we've had your differences, but I want you to know that you shall always be my least-favorite sister."

They are, indeed, dumb. Note that Lady Grantham didn't notice that her future maid completely forgot about her supposedly sick aunt in a super-obvious moment of bad lying. They also never seem to pick up that servants who tattle tend to be assholes.

Servants have also been mouthing off since S1. They would all have been canned by now in the real world.

I had the same reaction even though I just watched the S3 finale.

Seriously, why did they bring that guy back? He was in ONE episode in S1. They might as well bring back Evelyn or the BURN VICTIM WITH AMNESIA.

It's just ridiculous that they think we'd believe Matthew, a FUCKING LAWYER who became heir to a ridiculously enormous estate, wouldn't leave a will in the first place. Even if he weren't an attorney, surely Lord Grantham would have forced him to write one.

I never understood why she wasn't more into William. Of course, I also don't get why he was into her, so that will give you some idea of how well I understand Downton's relationship dynamics.

I give GOT characters nicknames based on their physical attributes. "Albino girl with eyebrows" and "Ginger girl from Downton" and so on.

I imagine young Master George would have a ridiculous notion of female beauty if he spent most of is time with Shrek and only occasionally glimpsed his luminous mother.
