I love how Hawkeye will get 100000000% more queer when he is tipsy enough. Sir that was a whole ass caress

Saw a reel of tug of war in the 1908 London Olympic Games, went 👀 and immediately thought of Downton.

Did a bit of research:

Considering how well Team GB did in this sport, it could be quite respected among the Brits around that time. Then, was there more serious contempt for Thomas in Jimmy’s questioning about whether he could manage this rather formal and popular sport? Like, there’s difference in asking someone who attempted breakdancing if they found it rough in the 1970s vs today. This certainly adds another layer to Jimmy’s passive-aggressive behaviour.

Meanwhile, I can only imagine a “Downton Club” standing on the podium. What a pity they cancelled it after 1920. We should really bring it back.

there's a very small but distinct change from book to show in s3e9 that i think is fascinating. right before the red wedding, catelyn and roose bolton are discussing edmure and roslin's bedding ceremony, and when bolton references catelyn's own bedding, she says this:

"Oh, Ned forbade it. He said it wouldn't be right if he broke a man's jaw on our wedding night."

whereas in the book, not only does this conversation not happen, but catelyn specifically recounts her bedding happening and makes no mention of ned being opposed at all.

i don't know for sure why this change was made but if i had to guess i'd say it was at least partly to make ned more likable to a modern audience. it's almost as if they were trying to make ned fit his reputation "better" but i actually think it misunderstands it completely.

ned is known throughout westoros as being "honourable", within westoros culture. the bedding ceremony isn't seen as being "dishonourable", it's tradition. ned going against that wouldn't add to his honourable reputation, it would make him some weird progressive guy that shuns tradition.

but the one time he does shun tradition is by bringing jon home and giving him a place in his family, and i think the change in the show takes away from just how strange that was for ned to do. ned stark conforms to tradition perfectly, except for that one smudge.
