[quote=Anonymous]I think the Bates and Anna storyline is very realistic FOR THE TIME.  Remember women were then considered a man's chattel, and if something happened to his woman,  he was duty bound to avenge her honor.  The comfort to the woman was in avenging her honor not in taking care of her needs.

Mrs. Hughes lied when she sore on her mother's grave that she did not know who raped Anna.  Bates could have just as easily lied to Mrs. Hughes saying he would not go after the valet or the "perp."

I am glad Bates and Anna are reconciled.

I like that Tom's socialism is coming to the fore.  This is a time when England was just grappling with socialism.  It went full bore after WWII, thence the NHS and socialized medicine.  The way Tom wants to run the farms of Downton is what will eventually happen with British agriculture.

Am I the only one rooting for Mrs. Crowley and Dr. Clarkson to get together.  They are both lonely, lovely people who would mean a lot to each other.  Clarkson is (for whatever reason) bedazzled by her.  It is a wonderful story of "older" love.

Did Lady Grantham actually emote last night in discussing Sybil with Braxtong.  That must have taken a week of acting lessons.

Mary is becoming bitchy again and I like her more that way.

Edith is getting screwed over by another man. Or not.  She might just break free of the family and go to Germany and join the Nazis with Gregson.

I'm not sure how much more they can advance the story in time because Violet is such a needed element.  How much longer can she live?  Morbid, but I do wonder.
