I watched Debet. What ships do you ship? It was a lovely episode for the most part. The only part that really bugged was the sudden appearance of this former suitor of Sibyl's. The whole little subplot seemed a v. awkward way to
get Tom to be Matthew's best man.
I have to say that I thought Shirley McLaine's character would have more of a disruptive effect.
Tonight's ep. did not help with my Branson problem. I swear he had more screen time tonight than in all of Season 2. And hello Branson in a morning suit!
How are you guys seeing Downton Abbey? Is this the British airing?
Yep. It premiered tonight. I watched a livefeed online.
The ship that inspired the comment was Matthew/Lady Mary, but I also recall shipping Anna/Bates with similar fervor.
Your whitefont was rather...obviously set up. I spent a lot of time telling people
(TOM. And Bates)
to stop talking now, please. Please. They didn't listen.
I have to say, I think...not Harriet Jones...Penelope Wilton holds up her end of scenes with Dame Maggie better than Shirley McLaine. eta: I think they're going with the slow boil on her character's ripples in the family.
I swear, 1920 fashions have magical powers. When you can make Michelle Dockery look frumpy...
I think I have a new favorite show.
Four women worked at Bletchley Park during WWII, identifying patterns and breaking codes. Nine years later, they are living lives of quiet desperation, patronized by their husbands and intellectually stultified. Until one of them spots a pattern in the police reports of a series of brutal murders...
The Bletchley Circle.
I've only seen the first one, but it's very well done, and it's the most explicitly feminist show I've seen in a while.
Ooh, that sounds awesome, Consuela--where is it on, or do you have to ahem it?
I ahemed it. It's the sort of thing that should pop up on BBCA at some point, except my cable company appears to have dropped BBCA from my cable package in the last week: I had to ahem Dr. Who as well.
It's just as well I didn't like Copper that much...

I wouldn't hold your breath, as it's an ITV show (though I think these do appear on BBCA occasionally).
Inside the UK, or probably from elsewhere with appropriate proxies, it can be watched on ITV's website: link.

Ah, good point. Well, maybe it'll show up on Masterpiece Mystery, then.
