Bates before revealing his past. Screencap: Me The one thing that threw me off with this episode is that it’s suddenly two years since Bates has been working there, when nothing in the scripts leading up to Episode 6 have indicated any really big shift forward in time. I think this leap was done...
Molesley’s father’s fabulous roses. Screencap: Me This episode, centered around the Downton flower show, had two big storylines: Mary being a spoiled brat and the tag team of Thomas and O’Brien trying once again to get Bates, the easy target, out of Downton. Mary is used to being thought of as The Chosen One....
Wang Leehom and Kanye West in The Kobe System video for Nike. Screencap: Me Here are some links of note. They’re listed below, but first, I thought I ought to talk a little about Don Cornelius, since I haven’t posted anything about him on Moniqueblog. Personally, I don’t like writing about death in any...
Mary looking dour and pensive. Screencap: Me This episode is another “calm before the storm” episode, having seen most of the first season now. It’s a little weird recapping episodes that I’ve already seen. Anyway, the story’s big plot points include: Mary feeling the pressure and guilt. Mary is a little bit of a...

Apologies–this will be corrected soon. Episode 3 is, for me, when the show really starts. And, like quite a few shows, the main emotional thrust of...

Matthew and Isobel meeting Molesley. Screencap: Me The second episode allows us to meet the third cousin, twice removed, to the Crawleys, lawyer Matthew Crawley (Dan Stevens) and his mother, Isobel Crawley (Penelope Wilton). Matthew, someone who’s worked for a living, isn’t keen on being thought of as an heir to Downton, and he’s...
The cast of Downton Abbey. Credit: Downton Abbey’s official Facebook page. All right, so this is my first time recapping anything related to Downton Abbey. My first impressions when it comes to the show is that I understand why it’s such a highly-acclaimed show. The acting is fantastic, the subtleties are great, and the...
Credit: PBS Masterpiece I’ve been late to the Downton Abbey game, but after seeing how obsessed people are over this show, I decided to buy the full series of Downton Abbey, including the episodes that have been shown on PBS Masterpiece. I’ve watched the first show, and I can see now why people are...
