Yeah, that confused me too. Since she married into the family, I suppose at most she would be Robert's cousin (by marriage) and simply, his daughter's mother-in-law.

They did. We didn't see it because it was in Ireland, but Mary and Edith "went over" for the wedding.

Is it messed up that when Anna came running out to Mary and Edith, I kept thinking, neither one of them is going to be excited about this. And then when they were, I just kept thinking, my goodness they're doing a good job of putting on a show of happiness about Bates. I also thought Robert was faking it a bit as…

Also, I think we need to congratulate the actresses behind Cora and the Dowager Countess. Cora has done an amazing job conveying the grief of a mother in these past two episodes and so has the Dowager Countess. There was this moment where Cora was talking about avoiding the lunch party, where she almost seemed to…

Can someone explain the weird love pentagon that's going on here? Daisy likes Alfred -> Alfred likes Ivy -> Ivy likes the new guy <- Thomas likes the new guy, but does the new guy like Daisy??? That's the impression I've been getting.

With the Thomas plot, I think they've been trying to say that O'Brien has been whispering to the new butler guy (Alfred? can't remember his name) to just let Thomas "help" him, so when he doesn't protest or say anything to Thomas, Thomas just thinks that his advances are welcoming. So it's not supposed to be as creepy…

Did everybody else notice how when Destiny's Child was performing, Kelly and Michelle's mics got turned down to like volume 3, while Beyonce was on volume 10?

@avclub-10493bb271d95ae152ff38c97c06ddf6:disqus Wow, if he does perform next year, wouldn't he be the first rapper to perform a Super Bowl halftime show?

And whoever the hell performed the-most-boring-half-time-show ever after the Janet/TImberlake wardrobe malfunction year.

That was a good one. The messed up part though was that everyone in my livingroom was trying to guess what the joke would be, and there wasn't one. It was just a sweet story.

All of the commercials were pretty underwhelming this year. I did like that one from Mercedes though, with the kid going to prom by himself, kissing the prom queen and getting punched by the prom king. That was cute. Oh, and the goat Doritos one.

To be honest, that was the only reason I wanted the Niners to lose. I saw a map awhile back on which states were rooting for which Super Bowl teams, and practically the entire state of Michigan was going for the Ravens.

I was playing the Viggle app with my friends last night during the game and one of the questions was: Which is the only non-expansion NFL team to have never appeared in a Super Bowl?
Everyone else at the party was trying to guess, at which point, I took a swig of beer and said, the Detroit Lions. Everyone was like,…

@avclub-45543849d625055bbb097f660db18533:disqus Oh, I watch Cougar Town. I wish I could get more people to watch it, but like Happy Endings, it's so so difficult to explain.

I'm just saying sometimes Supernatural doesn't believe in character growth. Having daddy issues worked for the first five years, but at some point the characters have to evolve, or at least should have evolved by now besides repeating the same statements/feelings/emotions they had years ago.

Oh my gosh, I remember feeling that same way about that episode!!!

I think Mr. Rogers is the reason behind why I can't wear my outdoor shoes inside my home. The germs you track through your house… gag. No, inside shoes are just fine. 

Well now we understand why the Lakers fired him so quickly into the season… he was too busy working on Treme.
