If Carson had a sarcasm detector he would be able to figure out she's not happy about his attitude. In fact, any reasonable person would have probably figured that out by now.

EDITED: oh whoops you meant Mary in regards to Bertie~~

It would be hysterical if everyone turned to the camera at the end of the finale and talked about how they were actors portraying the historical events that actually happened in Downton Abbey~

I felt it was appropriate in that if you're surrounded by something, and you're accustomed to its presence, you stop even questioning anything about it. There's tons of things I take for granted in my parents' home that I've never asked where they got them, how long they've had them, etc. Unless Downton Abbey History…

I got goosebumps. How dare you make me want this to be true

I agree that they never seem to know whether Thomas is a mustache-twirling soap scoundrel or an object of sympathy; there's never really been anything done to bridge the gap between the two portrayals of him. I hope they do let him go out on a sympathetic note, however.

I would welcome it if only for the jolt of energy it would give both of their storylines. They have a much better chemistry than any of her recent suitors.

YES. Everyone check out Stoker.

That's still pretty fucking vicious.

For as much as Mary has been a bully, it was Edith who brought a gun to a knife fight and leaked info about Mr. Pamuk.

Edith's waitin' on that dress

I think bonding with Branson over being a widowed parent expanded her horizons immensely.

A more engaging "nice" show is Parks and Recreation.

Downton Abbey is a soap with fantastic location shooting.

Hey, there's a reason my mom loves this show.

My perfect ending: everyone dying of poisoning at the dinner table, Thomas being hauled away in handcuffs as the obvious suspect and Bates walking away from the burning estate with a twinkle in his eye and a spring in his step.

Hard to say, since most of the people in Ghost in the Shell have artificial bodies to look however they want and a large thematic point is how the mind and body are separate and one can change their appearance while maintaining a semblance of individuality.

Whatever story elements they choose to work with, nothing so far has given me any faith in this. Especially the casting of Batou.

Pretty sure she's most memorable as that snake girl from AHS: Freakshow. I mean, ew.

Everyone lost their shit over his performance on that show but I never really cared for him at all. The whole show was a premise searching for a reason to exist.
