to say nothing of pocketing the spoons

DUDE. You know what I just realized about 2012?

IT'S A SUMMER OLYMPICS YEAR.

This is my most favoritest of things. Gymnastics! Diving! Swimming! More gymnastics! And this year, British things! Still hoping they can get that David Tennant thing sorted out

Oh, I didn't even realize they were the couple from that episode! I only watched S1 once. It's weird to me though because he was so casual about kissing her and didn't seem too worried about his wife and then she was like ANGRYFACE. And Edith didn't seem to understand why they fired her? I just... don't get what's going on there.

I forgot my favorite Carson bit in the episode--when Mrs. Hughes tells him about listening at the grate and he's like "if I were a gentleman I wouldn't want to know," and she's like "but you're not," and he says "fortunately." Hee hee.

The only reason I want Carlisle to stay on the show is so we can find out what's up with him and Lavinia. I think he's so wrong for Mary. But you're right, she doesn't really have a lot of choices, and there's always the threat of the scandal coming back to hurt her prospects if she doesn't get married soon.

Bleak House is actually where I first discovered Anna Maxwell-Martin and now I'm appalled that she is not in ALL OF THE THINGS because she was brilliant.

Fangirling about period dramas is always acceptable. Adding Daniel Deronda to Netflix queue!

I don't think Edith knew that his wife had seen them kissing, so she was just disappointed that she didn't have a purpose once again.

AND YOU SHOULD DEFINITELY WATCH THE REST OF DOWNTON ABBEY. LIKE ASAP Because I have thoughts about things you said, but they'd all be spoilers.
