If/when he finds out that Edith has had an illegitimate child, that will be the moment of truth.

Who might just need a - what do they call it? - manservant.

Mrs. Hughes will poison his pudding.

I was surprised that Carson didn't come right out and tell Barrow was he was suspected of. I don't mean in so many words, but something more pointed than "Andrew is an impressionable young man, so watch it."

He makes lovely bedroom eyes, though.

That's one thing I found unlikely on "The Martian" - most of the astronauts had young children or even babies, and they would clearly be away from home for years.

I confess I had to look up the names of the moons and asteroids, because they refer to "Phoebe station" and I wasn't sure if Phoebe was supposed to be an artficial space station, or a moon of Jupiter or Saturn.

It must not be easy to find that many tall, very thin actors and extras. Anyhow, I was wondering whether that much physical evolution would have taken place in just 200 years.

Maybe that's why the 2-hour finale began at 10 pm EST instead of 9.

I had read up to the end of the last episode (Kenzo's appearance being an addition to the story), so I want to finish Book I and then leave off until next season.

It seemed there were a lot more commercials than usual. For the early episodes the network may have been more invested in retaining the viewers' attention.

He's a heavy drinker and is older than the actor.

Where are the novellas to be found?

Darn tiny font on the screen - I read Yukon but thought it must really be Yucatan. The opening credits were SO tiny that I would have needed a magnifying glass to read them, and I was sitting 3 feet away fom the TV.

I started reading Book I a week ago, and the folks who said that the first season would cover about 70% of the book were exactly right. (I used a calculator!) Last night's events are gripping on the page, and the writing makes me love the characters even more. I'm getting a thing for Holden.

I need a map of the solar system so I can remember which are asteroids and which are moons of Jupiter and Saturn.

Victorian! Even Fellowes, astonishingly, has got it wrong a couple of times, allowing characters refer to 19th century society as "Edwardian". Anyhow, tecnically the "Edwardian" era should have been over when Edward VII died in 1911 and George V assumed the throne, but we don't call the 1920s "Georgian".

The Naomi actress is by no means a Plain Jane and her uniform is pretty snug plus slightly revealing, yet she is 100% knowledgeable and tough as nails. Kudos to casting and writers.

Mainly I need some help figuring out who is doing what to whom - I tend to be a bit dim in that regard. So the book would serve as a cheat sheet. I have access to the books online during one of my work shifts, so it would probably take me until next season to get to chapter 25.

I'm considering reading only Book 1 to tide me over between seasons. Is that too much, or should I just read up to where season 1 ends?
