I watch Game of Thrones, so I'm used to graphic. For Downton, I will admit that it surprised the crap out of me ... but I also MISSED the viewer discretion warning from ITV because I was getting a soda. Anyway, it's this UPCOMING episode.
(If anyone wants a hint, PM me)

I don't suppose this might involve icky violence not involving a woman for a change? You're kidding right? I can hope! Right?

You can always hope. Always. But I wouldn't hold your breath or anything.

Does it have to do with Lord G and his "indigestion"? That storyline seemed pretty classic Julian Fellowes, we'll get to this for real in a few episodes ...

This series has become as odd as NCIS. I'm wondering if it's because it may very well be NCIS's last season. I find it hard to get interested in the show now. Before I thought it was because I turned DH into a NCIS junkie and now it's not the same without him but I think it's just gone stale. Not because of Ziva, I was never her fan, or because of Bishop, I'm not a fan of hers either, but it's almost like the writers don't care anymore.

I feel like I need to watch this episode again, DH was talking to me while it was on. He really should know better.

Well, now that was a bloody interesting episode, wasn't it? On the flip side, the love lives of Mary and Edith are certainly getting interesting now.

I love the recap. And I was thrilled to see the Downton Cast win Saturday's SAG awards for best television drama, even if it did mean that Game of Thrones lost. (Those two series do have a lot in common, especially after Sunday night's episode) See what I mean when I said that Edith was dressing better this season? A lot more style and flair and less dowdy frump.

So, for those who hung around for Mercy Street, which one was more gross? I'm going to have to go with Mercy Street. Off to read the recap!

I watch online. I got no video warning and was grateful it was over fairly quickly. So ... is the Earl going to be the poster child for why the hospital should stay locally managed or combine?

The Dowager Countess is pretty much on the losing side over this, and will be sulking and pouting.

I saw somebody yesterday with the LM haircut! So weird. She obviously went into a salon with that pic. Her hair at least was the same color and it did look cute.

I must watch too many violent TV shows because the scene didn't phase me all that much. Of course, I was also kind of expecting it. I assumed it was going to have something to do with his stomach pain so I was prepared.

Well? How was Downton Day? Oh Lordy, how much do I want to punch Carson right now?!? He's treating his wife like a servant, not like a wife. Yeah, yeah I get the cultural times and all (and why the show is doing it: for dramatic effect) but still, you didn't need to marry her if you just wanted her to wait on you, Carson! Sheesh
