A dance and then some. Ho hum...

Of course I became a ball of mush when they showed them dancing in the preview.

But then I remembered what an ass Matthew was in today's episode.

Ugh, I can't even properly feel the feelings I want to feel feelingly.

I do wish they had exchanged one line, even after Violet's confession. Maybe it was edited out? I'd like to think that, then to believe there was NOTHING said between them :(

I am very angry that Matthew never acknowledged any of the good things Mary's done. He won't say it at all! Or admit it in other ways! UGH!!

Another thing I feel disappointed about is why they couldn't show us private moments with Matthew. We had some of those in S1, when he's looking out of the window or something like that. Basically, a "reflective" moment like those Mary has would have made me warm towards Matthew again.
And JF could have written that in because it seems like such a simple thing, but one that carries so much meaning. At least it would have provided a "window" into Matthew's private thoughts. I wouldn't fault him so much then.

And as for the wedding announcement, I was like WHOAH! And it came from him! Even poor Lavinia looked shocked! I can't believe he was that insensitive about it, knowing Mary was due to get married as well. At least he could waited until she was done. It's so selfish.

Did he watch Mary? I didn't catch that.

The dog gives me hope, but it seems puny at this point and superficial. I'd like to go all meta and say that the dog is Matthew's "voice" and his attention to the dog reflects his persistent feelings for Mary. But I can't. Because we get NOTHING else from Matthew. Not even one of his priceless "looks" for her or even one of his bitch faces. There seems to be no FEELING from him.

I find it very funny that S/B and A/B and even Robert/Jane have full sailing ships. I mean come on! I actually applaud all these characters for taking the plunge, and equally angered with Matthew. Mary's always at a disadvantage, but what Matthew's doing is far worse.

I am still trying to parse out my feelings. But I am also trying to wean myself off of these two. I won't be able to bear it otherwise...
