That's a good point… I like the idea of giving visibility to a child with special needs—as long as it's not framed as cosmic punishment for Edith's tryst. I would love to have Edith cosmically punished in some other way, though… Maybe she has some type of hatpin accident and loses and eye? Or becomes permanently…

What was up with Marigold? She seemed kinda… sluggish? Did Nanny go overboard with Ye Olde Benadryl? Or are the Edith boring-as-rocks gene start showing already

And it only took him about a month's worth of brow-furrowing and forehead-smacking… Now that our fair lord has gained awareness, I have to wonder what's next.

A flock of chickens seems like the perfect reward for the young Edwardian trollop! I'd be very happy living in a Crawley cottage with my chickens after tempting Tom Branson into some chunky man-to-man unnatural shenanigans.

I'm all for that furry beast in a wifebeater…

Ugh, you're probably right about the beard. Network TV ruins everything man.

At least the Mertser can console himself with having the most spectacularly cut suits in the realm.

What the hell is going on in that dining room that is making people loose their shit?!

Yes! They should bring in another yellow lab and drop hints that Matthew has been reincarnated in it. They'd both be blond, handsome and not terribly smart.
Plus, Mary would get to be his bitch… She's had enough practice.

The more I think about it, I've realized Mary suggested the dinner with Lord Merton to mess with the Countess and to stir up trouble. I just don't buy that it came from the goodness of her heart

Dated a positive/undetectable guy for 6 months. We were always safe-ish. He never penetrated me bare, I would sometimes fuck him bare. Completely legit risk abatement strategy but caused me constant anxiety. And I'm ashamed to say I couldn't deal with the stress.
I wonder. If i were in that situation toda, would I go…

Honestly the whole white boy explores neighborhood couple of miles away from his apartment like it was the depth of the mato grosso was a little grating for me. In fact the muscle car scene went right to stereotype. But I'll let it go because the emotional core of the relationships was so beautiful.
Richie, fuck the…

Is anyone surprised that patrick jerks off to leather daddys. That wasn't some bel ami hairless bullshit. That was fool on raging stallion realness

Ugh Patrick cultural boy detective is really obnoxious. With the face of wonder he had the whole time, you'd think he was visiting Angkor wat and not Oakland. But I can't even hate because that was amazing tv. It made me… feel(blech) so much.
Oh, and Kevin really is a big old needy pussy… Just has to be lurved by…

Yes, absolutely. I was just referring to my personal experience and the context of the show.

This is a great point. I think it's execution was soapy with Raven showing up at the office (and I can't wait to see her rock that role) but the insight is definitely valid. It's very common for young gay men of color to have a very different journey than our anglo brethren, which often includes having children before…

Taraji's gotta an A+ Ass. End of discussion.

It's amazing Courtney can still emote with what she's done to her face. Those lumps of silicone on her lips and cheeks deserve an Emmy.

Raven Simone gonna bring the crazy

Cookie's ass plus Courtney's face equals TV history. There's nothing wrong with any of that… The scene where Cookie shows up to the motel and throws the junky out was everything. We need a spinoff of Cookie Straightens Shit Out ASAP. Can you imagine what she'd do to Bobby Brown or to Lindsay Lohan.
