It's the traditional method for hiding incest.

Daisy messed up by not tasting the mix before baking it, thus detecting that Thomas had sold them flower that included a high percentage of plaster dust. 

Does Romano think they faked the moon landing because mumble, mumble, mumble? Rogan apparently thinks he "owned" Phil Plait on some show arguing that stupidity. Yeah, I bet.

Okay, I hate the show and I wouldn't say that about it. Mad About You was pretty much Satanically bland. Raymond was its own thing and I think actually did it well. I just hate that thing. 

@wolfmansRazor:disqus Exactly. I really, really hated Romano's character. He was just the right combination of whiny and spineless. The personalities of Ray and Deborah were pretty realistic in the way they meshed, but egad were they no fun.

I think I remember Edith saying that in episode one (I just started
watching it when PBS reran season 1) and her look and tone making it
clear that she had more feelings than she was admitting.  

No mention from Branson of the Irish Revolution, which was getting started in early 1919. But I suppose that's only obvious in hindsight. Probably Fellowes just decided to fudge that and save it for season 3.

Who else is up for shooting at this guy from behind a New England stone wall?

Surely Ser Richard isn't as bad as say, Lord Janos Slynt.

@avclub-fb50ef2594daff9dd6322cbb5489bcbc:disqus Yeah. And self-control is not Mary's strong suit. I remember the scene where she decided to stick the knife into Edith with Sir Whateverhisnamewas. She really seemed like she knew she shouldn't do it, but she couldn't help herself.

The Last Supper was pretty cool. Ron Pearlman, especially. It's interesting that it was made before there was a Fox News to tell us all how terrible the movie's release makes the Democrat Party.

Geez, I'd have thought Shannon Tweed lived in Vancouver or something. 

SPOILERS OF UNUSUAL SIZE (they do exist, Buttercup)
Why the fuck doesn't he just get over already:
• The fact that he was tricked by his hated father into participating in the gang rape of the only woman who ever actually liked him?
• And that his brother, who he thought was only person who cared for him betrayed him?
•…

Good point, Mogul. I still figure Joff for the culprit, but the motive could have been just mayhem.

You'd just have to stage it a bit different. Cersei could summon Tyrion to wherever and then say "Guess what? I totally whipped your whore. And not in a sexy way, you pervert." And she has a curtain pulled back and we expect to see Shae but, no, it's Alayaya.

SPOILERS, SORTA
The Tyrion Targaryeon theory of him being the product of a rape of Joanna Lannister by Aerys explainins Areys and Tywin's estrangement, Tyrion's love for dragons, Tywin's hatred for Tyrion and Tywin's switching sides.

I hope they start straying more, at least in specifics, because it's more fun to see a sorta different version of the story. I know the books version, so I'd like to see some changes. Just so they aren't lame changes. 

Small SPOILINGS

From Tyrion, who hypothesizes about Joff's motives for a particular bit of mayhem.

Nobody who's ever watched ESPN should believe that men don't like gossip, too.
