IT'S JUST JULIAN FELLOWES TWIRLING IN HIS ANTIQUE SWIVEL CHAIR, GOING, "WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" AND WONDERING WHAT HE CAN MAKE MAGGIE SMITH SAY NEXT.

Yup, pretty much, which is why when I read complaints from people yesterday saying they felt "jerked around" by the show, I wondered what the hell it is they thought they were watching, because it sure as hell isn't Serious Drama.

I was also shipping Lavinia/Mary after this episode (okay, Matthew can join in if he wants), and am likewise disappointed by Branson turning out to be an arrogant creepster. I like your politics, Branson! Why are you turning into such a douche?

... OTOH, if this somehow manages to convince Sybil that men are useless and perhaps she should give women a try, I'd be on board with that.
