According to the Downton Wiki, the events of episode 5.2 (the first appearance of Sergeant Willis) take place in April 1924. Last week's episode (5.5) takes place in September. That means that not only has this cold case festered for 2 years, but the cops are on the low-priority installment plan, popping into…

I hear they have a new dog lined up for Season 6, but unfortunately they named her Hezbollah.

It's so dense. Every single image has so many things going on.

I can't wait to find out what happens…can I just rent the VHS of the original and fast forward?

Do you guys really think the director just turns the camera on the kids and says, "Say whatever pops in your mind?" The talking heads are so formulaic: Remind us how many contestants are left. How do you feel about being in the final 12/10/8, etc.? How did you feel about your dish? Do you think you're going to…

Sorry Padma, "Estoy emocionante" is "I am excited", not "I am emotional." That would be "Estoy emocional".

It is over two years later. Green died July or August 1922, and now it is September 1924.

I love how they describe this exotic "sushi" - excuse me, "Japanese food", like it's still 1986, and sushi still hasn't become this mainstream phenomenon where it is sold in supermarkets and airports. Ooh, the kids from California must have an advantage, because it's so healthy and trendy! Gordon's greatest…

Especially 2 years later….

SPOILER:

As Larry David would say, he's "pre-gay".

Piece of raw liver, say hello to my little friend!

And that is why you should never enroll in fictitious classes at night school.

“Wow. That seemed to have a lot of logic problems.”
Meaning that Gretchen must have completely faked her reaction to her proposal from Justin, because otherwise how would she have called fake cops?

That's what I thought she said at first too - but she is saying "I'm a fiancee!"

Biggest pet peeve: Bernadette Peters (who should know better) introduces Rodrigo as the orchestra's new "Musical Director". Bitch, you know what a musical is. It's Sondheim and Oklahama! and shit. There are music camps, music schools, and music directors. They are NOT "musical".

I'm gonna watch you bleed! (from practicing so much…until your fingers start developing callouses)

The Phil and Jay plot was cribbed from an episode of This American Life, so I don't give it a pass.

Mitch and Cam are freaking out about the couch because they consider it their "one nice thing." Meanwhile, that home would cost approximately $750,000 in Southern California. Should the show check its privilege?

Time is a flat circus.
