I thought blow dryers came out in the 70s! Shocked I was to see Mary's, which looked exactly like the modern ones except metal instead of plastic. I thought the old ones were the salon style that went over your head.

Not 'til we have the Violet and Isobel spin-off, and "Mrs. Patmore's Guest House."

I'm miffed that I posted all my salient comments last night on the previous Downton review, which was more of a retrospective. Sigh. I thought everyone must have gone to bed already.

Perhaps one day when Julian Fellowes is old and infirm, they'll publish a sequel that shatters our image of Lord Grantham.

She could have learned from Shelley Long.

I have to do more than uptick. Such cleverness.

It's a Wonderful Downton Life!

I want the dress Edith is wearing at the Big Fancy Dinner.

Bertie's mother—such fun!

A little bit, but I would like to have him on my side if I needed help.

I saw a recent movie last night just after this episode in which she played a very different character, so I only recognized her by her voice. I had to check the credits to confirm. She is versatile.

The comment was about pc narratives, not the ones you describe.

I missed the first few seconds of that conversation. Did Evy go to her or did she go to Evy? That character seems so political that I don't trust her motives.

Yeah I was glad to see her continue to evolve but then her husband thwarted it. Next week will be interesting.

Perhaps she was high when she conceived the plan!

It looked like he touched her, but she clearly told her friend not to get involved, so it seemed like he started the fight due to testosterone poisoning more than coming to the aid of a friend.

I keep wanting someone to point out that he took the painkillers to kill the pain that resulted from the beating. Surely this is a mitigating circumstance.

Sometimes I see a show again that I multi-tasked through and I barely remember it. I have to stop.

I didn't love the lack of subtitles. I wanted to know what she said. Those of us who don't speak Spanish don't know yet whether the inappropriate touching allegation is true.

btw did she turn you down for a job or something? This comment seems over the top in its vitriol.
