I was yelling "no, no" when Lord Merton proposed to Mrs Crawley. She wants Dr Clark and he has to man up and come get from smarmy Lord Merton.

I will go down in flames rooting for Dr Clark and Mrs Crawley

Right? Who gives a rat's ass? It would be more interesting if they dropped that bullshit, let Anna get pregnant, have Bates find Mary's diaphragm, and then have him suspect her of cheating and getting pregnant with another man's baby.

Whose two children? Her own?

Did you pick up that the pictures of Violets children were in a Faberge frame? At the time Faberge was the jeweler for the Russian royals who made all the Faberge Easter eggs. Violets husband message was on point: stop screwing around with the Russian nobleman or all you will have left is photos of your children and your Russian lover

^^Not Lord Gillingham is awesome… Lord Grantham!… sorry Robert…

-Lord Gillingham's come up a bit 'short' for Mary and I'll wager it's happened to him before as he's being such a bullying prat about it with her. It is worrisome, because if the situation were reversed, she could sue him for breach of marital contract. It used to happen all the time in those days.

-I can't wait to see the back of Miss Bunting! How dare she drag the sweaty Mrs. Patmore and cheeky Daisy into her rudeness at the table.

-I don't think it's so out of the ordinary that they would have an undercover watching the area where Green was murdered. This murder occurred in London in Piccadilly in 1924. Such things would have garnered that much man power. It wasn't a small town murder.

-Lord Gillingham is awesome. I hope he puts that pencil necked art historian in his place. Cora should really get a hod of herself--but in a way--good for her--she gets to watch them fight over her and in the end she will have a randier husband so, win-win.

-As for Lady Edith, I say she may snatch the child and flee to Germany to raise it and then the both of them will be killed --because her part in the show has become tiresome.

-Yes, Barrow is giving himself hormone injections to stop himself being gay. Very sad. Either that or he's he's taking heroin which seems odd.

-I love Shrimpie but I hope he hasn't come to Downton to muck about with the women.

-Mrs. Crawley and Lord Merton? yeah, no. She don't got time fo dat.

-Tom, is it me, or is he getting chubby? Any way--he'll find someone nicer than the awful Miss Bunting.

-Ah, the days when you could have the likes of Carson to pour your spanish port over a flame and napkin into a carafe to breathe for after dinner drinking with cigars…

Okay, this nonsense with investigating the death of Green has to stop.

^^^ Her own children.

PP, I love the idea that Tony killed Green!

I'm very curious about the story line of the Dowager Countess with the Russian!

The clothes keep getting better. I love Mary's red hat and her outfit at the dress show.

I like how Tom and lord grantham were able to joke in the last scene.

What is up with Barrow? Is he treating his gay feelings?

Thomas is doing something medically to try to change his sexual orientation.

Heart wrenching that Edith can't just tell he parents about Marigold and bing her home but she has allowed the child to grow too close to the farmers wife and it will damage the child emotionally

Lord Gillingham took a dark turn with Lady Mary. I am beginning to think that he killed his valet.

Tom is going to find someone better than the shrill Bunting or he will be p-whipped for the rest of his life

Yes!

That's what Mary gets for slutting it up. Lord Gillingham is going to fuck and tell.

Miss Bunting and the chauffer are going to run off to Murka and get married, and take Sybie. No one around to call Lord Grantham "Donk."

Edith is going to fess up. Michael joined the Nazis.

These are my predictions.

Sweet baby Jesus, will that irritating schoolteacher ever keep her nasty mouth shut??? She is so rude and annoying! Needling Lord Grantham is so pointless.
Sweet proposal by Lord Merton.
Creepy reaction to Mary's decision by Tony.
Edith really, really needs something nice to happen to her. It has become sadistic on Julian Fellowes' part.
Love Shrimpy's nickname!
