True - I was just thinking more along the lines of her opportunities to get out and interact with men beyond the household staff. Of course, now that I think about it, Molesley was interested in her and that Creep Monster (aka Bates) circumvented anything coming from it, even though he wasn't remotely involved with…

"Not every gay was born gay."

It's disappointing, though, since they had just added Sharon Small and I was looking forward to seeing what she brought to the table. The whole way this most recent series concluded (including the delayed finale and Walsh's announced departure) was just so odd.

I loved the dig they took at him a couple seasons back. "There's this fellow named Ponzi who swears he can turn a fortune in thirty days." Only a moron like you would believe that, Lord Grantham.

Anna deserves so much better than that boring geezer. The fact that her rape ended up having so little to do with her and everything to do with HIS NEED FOR REVENGE was just infuriating.

I truly think the only reason why anyone was supposed to like Bates was because of the way Thomas and O'Brien tortured him in the first season. Though to be fair, I laughed my ass off when he faceplanted on the driveway in front of the Duke.

Cora is definitely a very dim bulb. Then again, so is Robert.

Because he was determined to make her one.

"Fact karma is a bitch."

You know it was cancelled (or "put on rest" in iTV speak)? I'm super pissed off.

Oh another one for the queue! Many thanks :)

Kevin Doyle also is in one of the most disturbing Law & Order: UK episodes, about a rapist who is released from prison and put under tight scrutiny (because McCoy and the British version of McCoy are convinced he will strike again). He ends up attacking close to home because he can't find any 'freedom' to go after a…

I'll check it out, thanks for tip. I know the Lady of the castle has a very bad reputation, particularly as it pertains to animals and her belief that her dog should have been cast as Pharaoh. My favorite story has to be how the producers schemed to replace Pharaoh (a male) with Isis (a female) but without any…

I guess its appeal entirely bypassed those in my cohort.

Wait, do you have access to an age accelerator? How would someone who was fifteen in 2007 be in her thirties now?

I do hope the Doctor's potential romance with Isobel is revisited this time around. It was sadly interrupted by real-life events during filming last year (David Robb's wife committed suicide and he took leave from the show). He and Penelope Wilton had a nice spark, I thought.

I can totally get behind more Rosamund screen time. I think she is far more interesting (perhaps because Fellowes hasn't given her enough screen time to be mundane) than the majority of Crawleys.

Fellowes will likely never do what is necessary to salvage the show but if he were to try, it should start with back-burnering Mary (no one cares), showcasing more Edith and for the love of god, getting rid of that wad of douche, Bates. I don't know who told Fellowes that women would find a creepy, violent,…

She'll always be Duckface to me.

Tony is pretty bad. I liked the guy - I can't even remember his name - but the one she was writing off until she heard he had money and got all, "OMG you're rich?"
