Far too much stupidly used epic music in this show. Queen Mary bows to the new Queen? Epic music. The Queen sprinkles dirt on her father's coffin? Epic music. Palace servants search for her childhood notebook? Epic music. They really ought to have broadened the emotional range.

A latter-day Simpsons quote!

So many people wanted Downton Abbey to go on till they hit the 1960s so I guess this is what ya get. One of these days I'll line up all the recent British aristocrat period dramas chronologically and watch them in order.

You mean the idea is to go after super-predators?

Yeah that stuff is gone. For the past year I've sporadically been looking for shareware discs I had in the mid 90s, and there's no trace of 'em online. Only hints that the companies whose logos I remembered actually existed…

She… she… she left the fridge open!!!

The Harry Potter films show a bunch of stuff happening more than they tell a story.

Isn't his regular voice Frasier's drunk voice?

A good chunk of people think it already exists…

I thought it was funny. Dan must get crazy letters like this all the time.

So when you have cybersex, do you just press "have cybersex" and then watch your avatars thrust for 10 minutes, like some kind of 3D animated GIF?

Picturing Uncle Fester in bed with Betty Grable is an image I could do without.

I wonder what the queen would do if someone like Trump were elected PM?

I'm finding this new season to be more critical of the Aristocracy than I remember, but everyone doesn't seem to have gotten the memo. Fox hunting doesn't deserve epic music!

It's a Simpsons reference. He is calling you a snob.

Er, thing is I don't think too many people even /know/ old serials anymore.

"You mean we ALL make 70k now???"
