[S02.E10: Letty Raines, in the Mansion, With the Gun]

I get the impression that this show's creators and writers don't know much about forensics and care even less. 

[S02.E09: And I Am a Violent Criminal]

Chad Hodges promised in an interview that he would be back in this episode.  Sounds like he's going to be the Ghost of Letty's Conscience, from what he said.

Is Chad Hodge gay? The amount of scrumptious men of different types in this show is really impressive:

Javier is an angel-faced type (big-eyed and long-lashed). He'd probably look 25 without the beard.

Rob is Nordic fair with a strong jaw

Teo looks he stepped out of a telenovela

Even the scummy Sean is surprisingly handsome for his brawny type and Agent Backup has a catalogue model's features. 

Yes, he's gay.  Which is actually interesting in a way, because a lot of the eroticism in this show looks like pure male fantasy.   More like a hetero teenage boy's fantasy than a gay adult's.

[Who's got questions?]

I've watched the series and read the script books numerous times and I never heard the explanation of the halo - which I find very interesting, thanks for mentioning it!  I was not aware till now that the halo Mrs Bartlett saw was anything more than a figment of her imagination.  I am pretty sure that the explanation was not given anywhere in the actual show.

A question about the layout of the grounds of the estate, but not Highclere. In the DA world, how close are the Dower House and Crawley House to the abbey? Did Violet and Isobel need to be driven to each other's place or was it an easy walk? They do hang together a lot. :) Just curious how easy it would be for V or I to drop in and visit the big house.

You often see Isobel dropping in to visit Violet and I never got the impression that she had been driven there.  In general, I think that a century or two ago (and earlier too, of course) it was normal for people to do a lot more walking to get places than they do today.  Jane Austen's characters think nothing of walking a couple of miles into town to do some shopping or over to the next estate to visit the neighbors.

Violet, being much older, probably got driven places more than Isobel.
