Selfie should have lasted so much longer than it did. The asinine title had to have hurt it.

Me too! But then I thought, wait, the B shouldn't be capitalized.

It's a pretty tough call, honestly. The eleventh episode killed me.

I've been living in the Detroit area for twenty years. The resurgence has been just around the corner the entire time.

Agreed, except I'd rather have a full episode of Bud.

Sax is my favorite character in that series.

Tipping the Velvet is my least favorite Sarah Waters. Fingersmith and Affinity are both excellent.

I've seen the first six, which were fun but not amazing. But it sounds like the season sticks the landing, so I'm looking forward to that.

Oh, my son, too. I still tell him he's "a very useful engine" when he helps out around the house.

Yeah, I think they should just lean into the campiness instead of trying to rise above it.

The debate episode was great, and I also loved the episode with Claire and the American political prisoner in Russia.

I never thought she was serious about wanting a baby; I thought that was just a ruse to get information about her employee's pregnancy.

I did like the scenes with the brother, but I am really, really over Doug Stamper. I could not believe how much screentime he got in this season.

I thought the season as a whole had higher highs and lower lows than the previous two. I really liked a lot of Claire's story arc, but there was so much ridiculousness, starting with everything about America Works.

Well, remember Gerald Ford's approval ratings also took a huge tumble when he pardoned Nixon. So to me, Frank's unpopularity with voters was the most plausible part of the whole season.

The sudden profusion of babies didn't bother me, because I saw it as a nod to the ending of the movie. Otherwise, yeah,the world does not need that many Bravermans.

Well, I mostly agree with you, except that I don't think Anna is in a position to refuse to hide the contraceptive. Mary could just fire her and find a new lady's maid, and it doesn't seem as though Anna is trained for anything else. (And I wouldn't want her to have to rely on Mr. Bates's income, as he could be carted…

It's how I'm going to ask my husband to do things around the house from now on. "Can you change the lightbulb in the family room? I hate to ask, but you are the First Footman."

I can't stand Mr. Bates, but I agree that it's not Brendan Coyle's fault. The blame rests squarely on Julian Fellowes's shoulders.

That is too bad. I was really hoping Mr. Bates would be found guilty of murder and hanged this season.
