Oh, and she was amaaaazing in A Room With A View.

Despite the hoopla about Shirley being on DA, there wasn't nearly enough of her. She did what, three episodes total? Yes, she and the Dowager were divine, but I think the events that follow soon after she left pretty much overshadowed her appearance. I mean, I pretty much completely forgot about her by mid-season.

You know what's kind of funny, the reason I discovered Jezebel back in 2007 was because they published an incredibly snarky and mean-spirited article making fun of people who posted on the message board of a popular wedding planning website. They even quoted something I said. And the commenters went along with it…

I KNOW, RIGHT? Seems to me that by changing your name to 'Ned Rocknroll' to make a statement about people taking themselves too seriously means that he himself takes himself waaaay too seriously.
