Downton Abbey and The Good Wife. No Revolution last night :-( But PLL was tonight! :-)

Downton Abbey season three, episode six
Oh, sob, she really is dead. Last week really did happen. This is the worst thing to happen to any of our shows all year. We almost started crying when Branson wanted to name his baby Sybil so that he could "think of her mother every time he looked at her." And of course the baby should be Catholic until she's old enough to decide for herself. Raising a child in a specific faith or no faith at all is a parent's prerogative. We're with Cora; who needs ol' what's his name (the dad) anyway? Matthew could manage the house and money better, he almost cheated on his wife (ew), actually kissing is cheating so he did (double ew), he's mean to Branson, he ratted out Isobel and Ethel, and he killed Sybil. We think we have a new least-favorite character.

We love Mrs. Patmore for trying to help Ethel, and also for telling the whole kitchen, "You're all in love with the wrong people." Bah hahahaha even Violet didn't leave Isobel's dinner after her son came in and acted like an assclown. We love Violet. Branson with the baby? Does this show want us to melt and cry into our ovaries? Bates will be free. Meh. Daisy, take the offer. Oh yeah, the dad's name is Robert. Ha, that's one of our dad's names. When they cried together at the very end, we stopped hating him. A little.

The Good Wife- Don't Haze Me, Bro
Alicia messed up. She hardly ever does that. This is why drinking is sometimes a bad idea. If you're wondering whether you should say something to someone, you're not going to be able to make the best judgment call in the moment if you're drunk. Jackie is losing her mind a little? Aw. Maybe that means Alicia will want to live with Peter again to comfort him. We loved the case of the week and wish the show had spent even more time on it. Eli is hilarious. We love when he gets angry and lashes out with his little body. Fortunately, there was no drama with Kalinda and her husband this week, making this episode one of the best of the current season. We haven't seen a bad episode of this show yet, come to think of it.
