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....
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...
Kemal Pamuk. Screencap: Me Quick edit–I’ve been putting these screencaps in the “BBC” category and have tagged them with “BBC” when, in fact, the show is on ITV. 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...

EDIT: Some new pictures, courtesy of godiseven.tumblr.com! click here, here, and here to see the scans. ——————————————————— Yes, I haven’t written about Sherlock in a long time, but I will (eventually) get back to it now that Season 2 is about to get underway. Until then, here are some promo pictures from Cumberbatched (originally from...
Yes, I haven’t written about Sherlock in a long time, but I will (eventually) get back to it now that Season 2 is about to get underway. Until then, here are some promo pictures from Cumberbatched (originally from the BBC): As I wrote on ShockYa, PBS has stated Sherlock will be back in the spring of...
A week or two ago, I posted about the live Black History Month special “The Motown Sound”. Well, in case you missed it, here’s the embedded performance, via PBS. Enjoy! Watch the full episode.

This is not a cartoon or a movie, but I felt this show deserved a mention on my site. Not a “Random Lookalikes“-style mention or even a slight mention in relation to something else, but a really good post honoring the show. When I was a really small child, we didn’t have cable, so...
