well, Daisy has always been (at least after the first season) a bit reckless and spontaneous in her behavior, she's the same with a bit more learning and awareness.
Besides, she was taught by miss Bunting, no foreign to inconvenient outbursts herself; I'm surprised she hasn't set a fire in the kitchen to burn the whole…

and, as we know, "who needs an underbutler these days?" :)

I don't agree with several of the points made by the review.
The episode celebrates Sibyl's generosity (without which there's no way a maid could have become a secretary in a good position, before the war) AS WELL AS Gwen's strength of character. Sybil gave her the first push, what Gwen did after was all her own - she…

maybe both. Surely it reflects a growth of the character.

by the way, Laura Carmichael really shines in 20s- style outfits!

At the moment of watching the episode I thought the scene was so long that would anticipate another appearance of the setting later in the season (maybe with Thomas as butler of the new establishment after the death of the old guy), but then I realized it's perfect in itself.

I must say this season does a much better job than the previous ones to show that time is passing and the old ways are dying. Discussed ad-nauseam in the previous seasons to the point of self-parody, here at least it is -shown- very eloquently.

indeed it's one of the few shows I'm looking forward to so much I have to watch the episode as soon as it comes out (usually I watch several episodes -if not season- in pack).

I've seen only the episode 9 (it's ok, I don't mind spoilers in this kind of shows), but I must say, if Arnold gets insecure and can't stand the situation as it is after that speech of Josh in the wheel (plus that remark about him liking Ben but not romantically, underlined by the review too), I think the relationship…

but it's not rape.
Example: a HIV+ person lies about his status to a partner and has sex with him/her. This is a felony, because this person exposed the other to harm, but it's NOT rape.

which is exactly forcing sexual intercourse on someone.

so, what is the definition of rape then?!

I cannot upvote this enough. Rape = force sexual intercourse. That's it.

I don't think it's a big problem - compared to normal productions perhaps there's the additional issue for the public of waiting a bit more for the scene changes, but I believe it would be quite easy to find a public ready to spend a bit more time for that.

I didn't watch it, but really no live audience? shame…

well, it's a response to what the previous commenter said at the end…

I didn't know they made a staged version of the movie… I cannot even imagine how breathtaking it must have been!

well, who cooks a puff pastry pizza for his hookup? ;)

I also liked Ben, he makes a nice complement with respect to the others and to Arnold himself. Also, he's not half shabby physically!

yes, probably he wants to be proactive and trigger the crisis himself instead of waiting for the inevitable, in order to see if the deal is working or not and, in a way, to test the relationship.
