    And they will eat. A LOT. If you are a Downton fanatic like I am, you will come to the conclusion, as did I, that the show should have been titled, “Mealtime at Downton Abbey.” Christ Julian Fellowes is food obsessed. The entire show was based around meals.

    So what I get from this is that it will be happening. They all are just sorting out how to make it happen. Oy.

    I don’t know ... I “might” be down just to see Sharon Stone play Samantha.

    I am/was a rabid fan of the show, and I do not want a SATC 3, because SATC 1 and 2 were absolutely ridiculous garbage movies.

    They spoofed this on Bob’s Burgers. Linda goes to a Downton type manor and is pissed she is assigned to downstairs. It was pretty funny.

    It is a time traveler’s fantasy. I also feel that it’s a way for us to forgive the rich in our time (“They don’t know any better!”). Fellowes is a social class apologist.

    You know why they do it that way? Because the average viewer sincerely believes if he were living at that time, that’s what his life would be like even though statistically the chances are he’d be dirt poor.

    I’m sure those who knew and loved the victims have been sleeping like babies ever since they went missing. /s

    Ya, poor babies didn’t do their job in the first place because they weren’t white hetero males. So now they gotta do a little overtime. I know T.O. isn’t the only pd to ignore such cases, but damn.

    Yes, because doing your fucking job is TIRING AND DRAINING? Or is it only TIRING AND DRAINING when the victims are gay? I feel like coded in this statement is “gay people don’t matter and now we have to waste resources bringing someone who murdered them to justice.”

    I mean, jfc.

    “Like, gurl.... I just can’t even right now. I am just too too tired.”
