I wasn't thinking of Shirley MacLaine specifically. One thing I liked
about the first season of Downton Abbey is that it was about a quiet
and isolated manor in northern England. I get the idea that their
world had to open up during the Great War but I don't like them
continually upping the scale by adding characters from farther and
farther away. If there had been some acknowledgement of Cora's family
ever in the show, even if it was only through mention of letters or a
comparison of a character to her father or aunt or somebody it might
not leave me so cold.
