I thought Lady Rose's wedding went off very well, considering her awful mother's behavior. Maggie Smith as the Dowager Countess always has good lines. When some snob complained that "no one" ever has a wedding at the Registry Office, she came back with her attendance at the 1878 wedding of Lady Somebody and Lord Rothschild, so there.

I demand to know why the "seasons" are so damned short for my favorite shows!
