But she didn't do a single remotely rude thing this entire episode. Just cause some Czar-loving no-goodnik can't see his precious monarch as anything less than infallible doesn't mean she needs some manners.

That does explain a lot. I actually kind of like the idea for certain things, particularly romances(where actor chemistry is important), but one really should have a solid idea of a through-line at the least.

*Miss Bunting News Flash!*: The delightful Miss Bunting takes down moronic Russian Monarchist with a simple and reasonable statement. Robert Crawley, the Earl of Grantham, is completely unnerved by her mere prescence. Is their anything this perfect human being cannot accomplish? More as this story develops…

She never says that she "hates" them, at worst she says that she "doesn't warm to their type" and *gasp* neither do I, or you, or any other sensible person.

But she is perfectly courteous and fine to everyone she comes across, having a nice and civil conversation with Mary and Gillingham at dinner, even holding her tongue when Violet is rude-but-not-rude(in that wonderful way she does) in the Christmas special, it is only when good ol' Robert, running on a wonderful mix…

I'm not sure I would say they've ruined him, I think I like him more than ever really, but he is a man who is currently rudderless.

I've noticed some scandalous anti-Miss Bunting sentiments popping up around these parts in episodes past.

Yeah, it isn't all that great but it also isn't some phoned in nonsense.

First Aid Kit's "My Silver Lining" from Stay Gold

How dare you.

Melanie Griffith wasn't the robot, you silly goose.

I only watched the pilot for this and that was many, many(apparently 5) years ago and I had these thoughts:

You'd figure after Guardians of the Galaxy they would play up the fun aspect in order to sell the film and not…I don't know, down play the entire concept of the character.

Not a single bit of size-changing gee-whizery in that whole trailer.

Perfection.

Yeah, I found it confusing that this episode gave him this whole past with the other mobster, something close to character development, and yet he then sided with Fish for no discernible reason.

Well, that was an episode of television, I'll give it that.

You bring up a good point about Finn not being imprisoned. If the show wanted us to see Finn being handed over to the Grounders as unfair(for lack of a better term) they really should've shown that the Ark people were going about his punishment their own way. If he was in the brig this whole time, with there being…

This episode was the culmination of everything wrong with this storyline, all of our main characters ignoring the fact that Finn is guilty and trying to survive in the face of danger caused by their own stupidity. Lincoln was there telling these people why Finn has to go and they just weren't listening.

But him dying will end this ill conceived storyline. It isn't that he deserves to be punished so he should be punished but rather the problem is that what drove Finn to his crazy rampage wasn't handled properly so it comes off as being ridiculous that it even happened.
