I appreciate how tender Victor is with Francis. Understandably, he seems to be trying to build family after losing his own. He looks so much like a young Richard Pryor, he could definitely play him in a biopic.

He's sexually obsessed. He's definitely gonna be a problem. The hard-on he had after Spfia put a bullet in Johnny's head... I wager he'll be useful for a while, then become possessive. He'll need to be retired.

Britney Spears might have something to say about it.

Can't WAIT to see how Sophia deals with Oz! If you don't go into Arkham crazy, you definitely come out crazy. That intake scene was absolutely demoralizing and dehumanizing. It's wild to think that on just the word of a powerful man, a woman can be STILL institutionalized. Christin Milioto deserves ALL the awards. And one for the woman who stabbed herself in the throat with the fork. That bit of facial acting she did when she went from demanding to pleading for Sophia to "END IT" was AMAZING to watch. And, I just realized tonight that Alberto was Midge Maisel's husband.

Hey, for us folk still grieving the loss of Legendary, MAX has a new show called Roller Jam, where teams of rollerskaters compete. Seems like a similar format to Legendary. SeePepa and Jonny Weir are 2 of the judges. Could be cool. I'm checking it out now.

Sofia in Arkham looked just like Vanellope from Wreck It Ralph.

That Xiemu skit was pretty sharp. It's not just a spoof on Temu. It's all of those cheap online shops: Shein, Wish, Alibaba, etc.

Y'all think they will discuss Aaron Bushnell today?

You are probably putting more thought into it than Fellowes. I appreciate the ideas you and other posters are presenting here. They are actually thoughtful and intriguing.

That Maude and Crowther are testing oscar would be a fabulous plot twist! Which prolly means that it won't happen.

Absolutely! And I'd love to know how Peggy's once enslaved father achieved the success that he has. And her mom and dad's journey to New York.

Why does Fellowes hate redheads so much?

Heh. Your use of racist-ing made me chuckle. I get your point. Yes, I'd love to see Ada take an interest in tackling injustice, too. I feel that, last season, she seemed more...worldly? Aware? Slightly more feisty? She seems dumbed down and more sheltered this season.

As a Black woman who grew up in and still lives in the south...that scene didn't feel off or contrived. It felt very true. That boorish behavior and the placating reactions to it felt pretty spot on. Sure, there was racism in New York, and Peggy has definitely experienced it. Black people in the south lived with a different kind, the violent, deadly kind that could erupt at any moment, for the slightest reason or no reason at all. Someone mentioned that Peggy is this series Edith, and I agree. This feels like, as the main Black character, she is burdened with carrying all the harshest realities of life and I don't like it.
