I think so. It did pick up a little steam, but no story lines I care to follow for weeks or years, in the case of the show. They need to move on along with all the current story lines. Edith's storyline gave us something new to watch, but it's not going to carry the series, by any means. Definitely tired of the Bates story.

I'm not interested in seeing Isis pass away. They can just get a new puppy and let us know why. I don't want to go through anything more than that.

The Dowager once again has the best lines.
"He's a man. Men don't have rights."

Mary was as cold as ice about the dog and Edith. Her character continues to become unlikeable.

I was surprised that Daddy Grantham gave in to Edith bringing in a child so easily. I guess they used the condition of Isis as a way to get him to agree. He was concerned about the dog and not the unknown child moving into the house with his other grandchildren. That just didn't seem very realistic to me. I didn't find it believable. I guess he'll complain later.

Rose has never sparked much interest for me. She's sort of a filler and not compelling.

I was surprised at Anna doing a little gossiping. That was probably the most startling scene of the show. She's normally against that sort of thing.

I said the same exact thing to my wife last night.
That was odd.

women and kids are masters at this.look dad's worried about something else, let's hit him with the bring an orphan into the house idea!

they seem to be using rose's character to break barriers. First the interracial barrier now the religious barrier. But she's the prettiest of the younger generation since sybil left.

really.. after all that she's been through. And now her and bates seem to be settling down. She's going to start gossiping about the family? That won't end well.

i just don't get why they don't just say, look, this is edith's baby and that's that. all of these crazy schemes are going to backfire.

And Mary isn't exactly a saint.. so she shouldn't be saying anything about it. I think Robert would have been more willing to take in his grandchild than an orphan.

And they're killing off the dog !?!??!?
