comments on Downton Abbey episode 3? (possible spoiler)

[grasswire]

Is Lady Edith pregnant? Oh my.

1. I wondered that myself.

I don't know what the letters after the Dr.'s name mean.

3. Can't remember all the letters but...

the FRCS means Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons.

[Ilsa]

2. I think she might be.

The writers need to get something moving.
Maybe Edith will have to join Gregson in Germany. The writers haven't really revealed what year it is, have they? But we can't be too far away from Hitler's rise to power.

4. Still 1920's, I believe.

I think one of the characters made a reference to the 20's last week. The war has only been over for a few years.

[Ilsa]

6. I knew it was pre-1929. The writers have

Ignored all newsy stuff, but they would not be able to ignore the big crash.

I was wondering how close they are to the political rise of the Nazi party in the late 1920's. I don't think hitler was a household name yet, but that organization was growing. I think he became president or chancellor around 1932 or 33.

All of that will certainly affect Edith and Michael Gregson.

7. 1922

The year was flashed on the screen at the start of ep 1 of this season.

8. Thank you! I missed (really) the first

30 seconds of episode 1. Left me feeling a little lost.

5. That was my first thought as well...

...DA has been rather focused on the issue of women getting preggers lately...the maid that was trying to screw Tom over, Anna after her attack, and now Lady Edith...
