  1. Y'all think they will discuss Aaron Bushnell today?
  2. 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.
  3. That Maude and Crowther are testing oscar would be a fabulous plot twist! Which prolly means that it won't happen.
  4. 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.
  5. Why does Fellowes hate redheads so much?
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. But still, his former hosts should not have had to find out about his change of plans via the morning paper. To me, that shows that the Duke is tacky and an opportunist. And Bertha is too excited by her royal "catch" to see the red flags.
  9. Ok...Looooord, the Russell reunion got me tearing up over here! The raw emotion and passion between those two! His pleading for forgiveness! The way she exhaled and melted in relief in his embrace! And the scene where he blocked that server at the fancy dinner, "Mrs. Russell is exactly where she should be." And fixing all problems by throwing copious amounts of cash at them... Lord, I see what you have done for others...sigh. Do we know who gave that dinner? I found that Duke to be rather mediocre. And a boor to just ditch the Wintertons without notice. Peggy is such a sharp, bright, shining young woman. I want nothing but the best for her. I appreciate her storyline, but it feels kind of out of place among the more frivolous yet life and death sopa opera shenanigans of the rest of the show. Social death vs potential actual death.
  10. All four faces CRACKED. And when I saw it was Turner, I thought: "Awwwwww, SHIIIIIIIIT!!!"
  11. He's an old man, and Turner used her magic pointy tittie powers on him. He didn't stand a chance.
  12. I was so sad that the series is over! I thought there were 8 episodes. I'm hungry for more! I might just go back and watch it all again. It's leaving Max after October 31. I appreciate all the excellent and thoughtful takes on here. The only thing I want to add is that I thought that Louis looked absolutely, breathtakingly gorgeous at the ball. His makeup and hair...ahhhhh! Chef's kiss. That 18th century style suited him so well.
  13. @ShannaB Thanks for the recommendation!
  14. I was not familiar with this actor, but, I'm now a fan! He's so handsome, a great actor, and I absolutely adore his voice.
