Jizzy fucking Chrizzy, will someone please just shoot Osborne. He’s such a fucking tosspot. Please explain to me, Georgie, what the fuck is the point of forcing a whole load of people to go to a Jobcentre every single day. Oh no, wait, there is no point, plus I find it hard to imagine that Jobcentres these days are actually staffed to be able to

fundamentally unlikely, given his profession and state in life, that he did not just make a fricking will.

I also find it incredible that Robert would let his daughter get married without insisting on seeing that a will was made as part of the settlement before the marriage took place. Although I suppose we've established that Robert has no sense whatever...

[chaletian]

Exactly! I mean, one does an awful lot of willingly suspending one's disbelief during Downton, but I really think this particular plot point is straining credulity too far. Also, no need for it: Robert would have been just as pissed off and resistant if Matthew had left everything to Mary in a proper will as in a letter.

Atlantis struck me as a criminal waste of Juliet Stevenson.

[chaletian]

Definitely. I mean, I love a cheesy teatime drama (oh, Merlin), but Atlantis was just a bit rubbish.

Ugh, Downton Abbey. I loved the first season so much, what happened, Downton! I stopped watching midway through season 3, and this does not sound like I should pick it back up.

I am disturbed by the concept of twinkly-eyed Bates.

[chaletian]

That is the correct reaction. It just wasn't right.

Yeah, the standard of Downton never lived up to season one, but I do mostly still enjoy its extraordinary ridiculousness.

But what about Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.? Haz you any thinky thoughts about that? I found it underwhelming....

[chaletian]

Well. I sort of don't, because I was largely paying more attention to my laptop than than the show, which I suspect is telling in and of itself. I dunno, maybe I need to watch it again? I laughed in a few places, but I can barely remember the plot. I am prepared to give it room to grow, though!

I harbour a longstanding hatred for Osbourne, but he is being a complete dick. As I could say pretty much any day of the week.

Yes, 3G, where are thou?

2. Gotta have a secret letter or it wouldn't be the cliche-ridden tosh that it is. Still very watchable tosh though.

4. Don't care about Bates. Never did.

6. I am enjoying the Dowager right now although in the past I feel she has wobbled on the edge of a 'here for one lines only precipice' ]

And my Internet is shit and so it ate my comment and I had to type it all out again. See my love and dedication?
