Cool- I should start watching the show. Everyone loves it. But I'm already so far behind on the shows I do watch.
The good news is, it's not a lot of episodes?
Cordelia: I get it now. You're all spies. Probably all Russian. And you've brainwashed me, and want me to believe we're friends so I'll spill the beans about some nano-technology thingy that you want. Gunn: So I look Russian to you? Cordelia: Black Russian. Angel: That's a drink.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OH! Oh! I know this. The entail means that Lord Grantham doesn't have the right to break the estate up (or leave to his daughters). Whatever way the inheritance is written, the current is really kind of holding the estate in trust for the next in line. Somehow Grantham's father must have had Cora transfer her money to the estate, so now that is part of the Estate, meant to be inherited by the next male heir.
Also, I'm pretty sure Downton has aired everywhere in the world now. Do we need to still white font for season 1?

Not important enough to say twice.

Hil,
the question you asked about "Downton Abbey" you have received good responses, but I would offer you this advice: the show is not particularly deep. So while some things can be confusing at first, hang in there. It will be explained 2-6 more times in subsequent episodes. The level of complexity is at its height in Season 1. Never quite so complicated after that.

Yes, what LeNub said. Enjoy season one. It's lovely.

Devi's pulling a let's freak sara out night. I think it's just cause I woke her up to steam her, but I'm paranoid, unsurprisingly.

Ha! That's an excellent point. It is a soap opera, after all.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Do we need to still white font for season 1?
Nope. Only current season.

Calm reactions, Devi, calm. Just breathe the steam and feel better.

Aw, go Taylor!
Somehow I watched the first season of Downton, quite liked it, and...haven't gotten around to watching more.
How is it I can't concentrate to do work, or clean my room, but I can upload both my librarything library and my calibre library into goodreads?

Fingers knotted into a Star of David for ita ! May the meds come soon and the nurse be most excellent. Incidentally, I don't know what kind of Graham crackers the ER provided that you liked, but I find that Trader Joe's old fashion Cinnamon Graham Crackers (thick and hearty) are addictive - to me, they put the "crack" in Graham Crackers. Although I seem to remember you like honey Graham Crackers. TJs has those too; not as sweet as the Cinnamon but maybe you'd prefer that.
