Oh, Downton Abbey, did you second episode really just have your probable Official Romance face off at a family dinner with their upperclass proto-feminist/class-disputes sensibilties using Perseus and Andromeda?

Good series so far, BTW, for those of us who like BBC's "life among this social group in this time..." series. It's modelling itself pretty strongly after Upstairs, Downstairs, but with more modern narrative sensibilities.

hugh Bennoville's role in it is odd for me here, though, because I watched Daniel Deronda earlier this week and he played Romola Garai's eeeeeevil creepster husband there, but he's quite likable in Downton Abbey. (I'm pretty sure I've seen and liked him in other things, too, but I'd have to see what they were.)

I popped over to Netflix's website to see if they were sending me anything this weekend, and saw that I should be getting the Bollywood movie Hameshaa today. From the descriprtion, I basically registered "Kajol! Reincarnation! Want!" Exploring youtube for musical numbers (I've found that they generally are a good determiner for whether or not I'll like the movie itself, and nicely-nonspoilery) I discovered this one, which is practically cosplay for almost every highly romanticized era ever.

It is so...so...I love it madly and would seriously watch the movie just for caps of that! But warn me now if it will traumatize me!
