You know how it goes. There's one female character in the book, and she's a love interest. She's given little to do and less to wear. She has no good lines, and nothing to contribute save her helplessness.

I think it's hilarious that most people cite Anne Rice as the 'cautionary tale' for authors responding badly to book reviewers, when Lord Byron is RIGHT THERE and no literary critics ever challenged Anne Rice to a duel for being mean to them.

I think my favourite thing about the Downton Abbey movie coverage so far is all the media flipping out because they forgot to obsessively invade the privacy of the cast for the last several years and now they have several marriages, pregnancies and babies to catch up on.

It is so bizarre to me to see how much 'cozy' is being used in the promo tour for Downton Abbey Happy Ever After - all 3 movies certainly ARE cozy because basically epilogues but the original series was pure agony!angst!melodrama punctuated by witty remarks, frocks and tea.
