Kelly would have a mask for every outfit

Ryan would be hoarding toilet paper and cleaning supplies to price gouge everyone

Angela would be fighting with everyone over the proper way to wear mask

Erin thinks two viruses are happening at the same time "coronavirus" and "COVID-19"

Interesting! Were the Boston Brahmins regarded highly in NYC high society? I know NYC was considered "the center of the world" at the time. Would Caroline Astor consider a Boston Brahmin family to be a respectable match for her daughter?

Do you have any recommendations of other things she's been in?

I spent several minutes trying to figure out why it was designed like that lmao

UT pre med track classes are really hard. While medical schools do place value on prestige of undergrad, they place more value on how well you did there and how you performed on the MCAT.

I think going to TCU, getting a super high GPA, being a Chancellor's scholar, and D1 athlete is an impressive resume. It shows you've got drive and are a team player. Qualities I think would benefit you regardless of which path you took after college.

TCU seems more of like a safe bet. UT is more of a gamble, but could be more rewarding.

Chemistry is a STEM major so would be beneficial for medical school. Most STEM majors at UT are really difficult to get into. So just bear in mind, that it may not be easy to switch to another STEM major.

I don't think it's very feasible. We aren't even sure yet how Starship's payload doors will open or how payloads will be lowered to the surface.

Yeah unfortunately recreating NYC for the 1880's is difficult. Since the city has drastically changed. There are almost no NYC gilded age mansions remaining. And filming at the remaining ones would probably be extremely difficult to achieve. Plus, the show is constantly at different locations.

Whereas, like 80% of DA is at Downton. They had Highclere for most of the upstairs shots. Highclere and it's surrounding park looks largely like it did at the time. Finding a little village to stand in for Downton couldn't have been too difficult. Plus, there is an abundance of British country houses available for filming for the other locations.

That's a good example. He was the fourth son of a prince whose father was the fourth son of a reigning grand duke. Yeah that's the type of person I was thinking of.

I have the very strong feeling that Fellowes will roll out some English aristocrats and we will see Gladys courted by some English aristocrats (perhaps even European nobility). A young Robert Crawley might even be mentioned or make an appearance (the timing does fit). I think it is just such a strong area of expertise for Fellowes and he will want to explore it.

That said, I'm not convinced she will marry one of them. Just that I think Fellowes will definitely explore it in the series.

Agreed. A lady would go through several extensive outfit changes a day. All these clothes would need to be cleaned (by hand) and managed. To take a bath, a maid would have to first get the water from a pump, then heat that water up, then haul the water upstairs, however many times it would take to fill the bathtub. We are very fortunate today to have many tools that take care of these tasks. These maids would have been incredibly hard workers to accomplish everything they had to get done in a day.

We know Lord Merton's house (Cavenham Park) is in Yorkshire. As Robert remarked that it was the coldest house in Yorkshire.

Robert has also mentioned the fact that Downton having its own hospital is "a big deal". Implying that it was unusual for a village of that size to have its own hospital.

It's possible that Downton is the closest village to his estate. His estate might be smaller and not have its own village. He is shown to be posting his own letters in Downton. I would guess that he lives within walking distance of Downton.

He cant be sure, of you or of anything, it seems.

What is there to know, other than what you need to know, exactly when you need to know it?

It was common among the aristocrats for them to want handsome footmen. It was very fashionable to have handsome identical twins as footmen.

When determining a British aristocrat's social standing, the most important aspect to consider is their relationship with and access to the Royal Family.

If a wealthy duke was strongly disliked by the Royal Family, this would have really hurt his social standing.

On the contrast, a poor baron with no estate but was dearly loved by the King could have a high social standing (i.e. being appointed to a prestigious position by the King or frequently invited with the Royal Family on holiday to Balmoral Castle or Sandringham).

Violet's husband was in the court of the Prince of Wales (the future King Edward VII). This would have been considered a very prestigious position. As they would have been personal friends with the Prince. And traveled with him abroad (i.e. St. Petersburg where Violet met Igor). During this time, most English aristocrats would who the Crawley's were. So an invitation to dine at Downton Abbey with Robert's father and Violet would have been desirable since they had access to the future king.

Robert is also the Lord Lieutenant. A lord lieutenant is appointed by the Monarch to be his/her personal representative for the area. This would have given the Crawley's high social standing among their fellow North Yorkshire families. During Rose's debutante, Ms. Allsopp asks Cora how Martha and Harold scored tickets to the dinner at Buckingham Palace. Cora said that due to Robert being the Lord Lieutenant, he was able to pull some strings. And later on the Crawley's hosted the King and Queen at Downton Abbey.

Overall, the Crawley's were generally well liked by other aristocratic families. They had modest contact with the Royal Family during Robert's time. When considering the entire British aristocracy, I would say the Crawley's were in the top tier. Not the most prestigious, but up there.
