I felt for Elizabeth when Philip said he sought intellectual and spiritual companionship elsewhere.
Yes, Philip is being kind of unfair to Elizabeth here, but I suppose he's been feeling chuffed by the attentions of Pretty Penny. They showed her to be a flatterer and not all that bright regarding her take on the Romanov situation. Loved seeing Elizabeth set her straight and walking out of that library room like the boss!
Of course this is probably all invented by Morgan who loves to draw parallels where none exist, but still...

Worst ensemble casting ever, with Charles and the Queen Mum tied for the prize. It's almost funny. What happened, did Peter Morgan get burned out? Did they run out of actors? Was it cast by the Helen Keller Foundation?
I've only watched this one and half of the second episode all week. Not since season 5 of Mad Men have I felt so let down. The magic is gone.

Back when ebooks first came out, I wasn't sold on the idea of investing in a proprietary device to read overpriced digital versions that can't be borrowed, sold or put in my bookcase. The longevity of the trend was also a concern. Back then Amazon had message boards and there was a long-running boycott thread of ebooks costing over $10. that got pretty heated at times, mainly from posters who I'm pretty sure were employed in publishing. When Jeff Bezos himself came out in support of the boycott, they were crushed, lol. However, the publishers won in the end, and they set the prices.
I still rarely pay over $10., but have changed my mind about the paper/ebook debate, mainly due my increasingly bad eyesight. Also discovering that I can't even give away my many boxes of paperbacks and hardcovers these days, which is interfering with my decluttering plans. Even the library no longer accepts them, and I may have to resort to the paper recycling bin.

I think the dog is still with the husband, but not sure. They mentioned seeing the dog in the car but no wife. Tying up the end seemed a bit rushed to me.

Thanks for that, Jeeves. Wow, she was really in denial to blame his victim who had very bravely reported the husband. I wish the show had gone into that, and more about the money drain. I suspect this was his plan all along - find a trusting woman with a high paying job and sweep her off her feet.
