Downton Abbey 3x05

This episode should have a tissue warning.

[Spoiler (click to open)]No contest, this is the saddest episode of DA ever. Who could have predicted that Sybil would be the person who dies? ;_;

That being said, I had misgivings as soon as I recognized the new doctor as Creedy (from V for Vendetta).

For the fashion perhaps....

But I've been looking eclampsia up and apparantly even know there's not much that can be done about it except for get the baby out asap. But at least now you can put people on breathing apparatus etc.

Hmm yes the fashion would be tempting. Trying to think what else would be a plus... less pollution I guess?

Yeah eclampsia is a horrible condition, and we really don't know much about it. The prognosis for a woman nowadays is still better than for poor Sybil. ♥

- The politeness in general and specifically of men against women
- The fact that, if you are rich, you have a maid to do your hair = no bad hair days!

- Agreed, the politeness and chivalry would have been a plus. Not sure if it would outweigh the sexism women would have had to deal with, at least for me personally.
- YES to no bad hair days. :D
