The episode where he was all bummed out about not fighting on the front; His ass could have picked up a rifle and went at any time.

Does anyone else have a crush on Robert? I don't know what that's about. Maybe it's being classy, polite, and sweet.

I decided to watch the 1995 BBC production of Pride and Prejudice starring Jennifer Ehle and Colin Firth and noticed two actresses who were also on Downton Abbey.

Anna Chancellor (Lady Anstruther) played Caroline Bingley, and Joanna David (Duchess of Yeovil) played Lizzie's aunt, Mrs. Gardiner.

If you're itching for more "Who will she end up marrying?" drama, this is a good one.

If someone was a Lady's Maid and Valet, was that as high as one could hope to climb?

Granted they ranked below bulter and housekeeper, but I dont see O'Brein and Bates ascending to those roles. Or wanting to.
