    As for the actor that played Matthew Crawley...well, he went full Shelly Long with wanting off the show. Stupid move.
    I'm not going to lie, there is a part of me that hopes he has career arc like Shelly. I watched a great documentary not long ago called That Guy...Who Was In That Thing. It followed 16 actors who everyone would immediately recognize but you'd be hard pressed to identify them by name. It was interesting to hear their struggles and successes. Any of these guys would kill to have been a lead on show like Downton, and to walk away from that? Dan Stevens has some cojones.

    Shakes it up either way. No guarantee it will be negative either.

    On the contrary. The entire series was turning into a sappy 100%-predictable snooze fest. Shaking things up will be good.

    Just finished Season 1 and bought Season 2 on Amazon. I like it far more than I thought I would.

    Bates is the man. He has arguably the most attractive character on the show all over his old self.

    You can imagine what that means. I have my interpretation.
    This reminds me of the sexual trend they had to nip in the bud while I was at BYU: "Don't be banal, go anal."

    I don't know that my wife thinks its pornographic, but doesn't enjoy watching people of the same gender kiss. Having rarely seen two men express romantic affection, I have to admit that it was a little awkward for me as well.
