I think they should close it out after next season. Since Julian Fellowes is pretty much lifting plot lines directly from P.G. Wodehouse, either wind it down now or lean into it and just make Downton the new Blandings. They've already got pigs!

Hook (no title change)

It does seem like nothing short of rampant overt racism would do it. Even if she came out as an anti-vaxxer, the only repercussion would be the bankruptcy of several pharmaceutical companies.

Return of the Jizzi

As someone who lives in Texas… yeah, fuck it.

I've got my fingers crossed for A.K.A. Jessica Jones. Krysten Ritter should be in all the shows.

The trailer I saw was all over the place. My friends and I debated what kind of movie it was trying to be. One compared it to the Oceans movies, one to The Counselor and one to Charade. All over the damn place.

Ooof I've been there. I wish I had something helpful to say, but no advice can really help at that point. So, good luck and be kind to yourself!

That sounds amazing (the theme, not the hangover). I'm just going to go ahead and picture it as the fantasy ballroom sequence from Labyrinth.

I saw 50 Shades of Gray this weekend at the behest of my friends. It was aggressively mediocre (obviously). But I'd rather watch it again at full movie theater price than be here at work right now. I really need to get a move on changing careers.

I dropped off from this series with the teenage Connor appeared - just lost interest. (Pete Campbell ruins everything!) But it's one I've always meant to go back to. Maybe Angel can be my entertainment while I do taxes this weekend.

Oooh good luck on the date (and grad school)!

Sean O'Neal, I will fight you for that monstrous slur against the good name of Top Notch. I demand satisfaction, sir!

I knew I liked you.

I'm inviting myself. I'll bring broccoli. All stir-frys need broccoli.

Man, I wish that were still on so we could get a whole episode out of Chloe and JVDB debating whether or not he should do this. Mostly, I just wish it were still on.

Isn't that what Peter O'Toole got trapped in in space?

If I recall correctly, the death penalty is only a possibility in Texas if the murder coincides with another felony (robbery, mutilating the remains, etc.). But then, again, technically one murder is compounded by the 2nd, so I don't really know. I'm just a duchess, not a lawyer.

I, for one, would love to see a glass cobbler storyline in the Cinderella prequel. I mean, shoes made out of glass! Maybe there could be a Hogwarts-style school storyline too, where the fairy godmother gets her training and is snubbed by the Sleeping Beauty fairies who were total mean girls in school (franchise!).
