…I just watched episodes 1, 2, and 4 from the first series of DA, and…wow, I am having such a surreal experience.  I think I’m in shock because A) wow, this show really was good once, and B) wow, this show is NOTHING like…whatever it is now. I mean, I’ve thought that for a long time, but after sitting through 3 episodes from that first season…really, it’s like Downton Abbey, and what we have now is Downton Abbey the Reimagined (and less than stellar) Remake
