Downton Gabby

[Downton Off-Season] - Well, don't say we didn't warn you…The Damsels throw pillows, shed tears, and then resign themselves to the inevitabilty of The Red Wedding. We love our newest Odd Couple Arya and the Hound, and continue to fantasize about Geoffrey's gruesome death. At 19:45,we're traveling at the speed of light to 1960s New York, where Brandi gives us a shocking confession about swapping sp...

[Downton Off-Season] - The damsels are back and digging into three great episodes! Let’s start with the Nashville finale where there was so much melodrama we had to make a list of things that DIDN’T happen just to keep track of the things that did. At 14:20 we switch to the biggest shit show wedding in history on Game of Thrones. At 23:00 we take the shot in the ass no one saw coming on Mad Men.

[Downton Off-Season] - Mad Men, Nashville and Game of Thrones! Everyone was excited to ditch Sylvia and get back to business! Sorry, Linda Cardellini! Even though it’s nice to see Pete’s life go to shit, we are saddened by the imminent loss of Trudy and hope that she and Betty join a gun club to work off some steam from their shitty marriages or maybe to fend off the soon-to-be serial killer: Bob...

[Downton Off-Season] - Looks like one is winning Father of the Year among this motley crew of dads! If it isn't Tywin Lannister selling his son and his daughter into unfortunate marriages, then it's stories of Danaerys's Mad Dad Aegon threatening to open a can of wildfire on all of King's Landing. Over in Mad Men land it's no better: Ginsburg's dad is meddling in his most personal affairs while up...

[Downton Off-Season] - From the high Valeryian hell of Danaerys Stormborns 8000-strong army and little pet dragon on Game of Thrones…to the little marital hell of Don Draper and Megan on Mad Men

[Downton Off-Season] - The damsels tackle last week’s jam-packed episodes of Game of Thrones, Mad Men and Nashville. There's serious brutality, Brienne’s virginity, creepy Pete Campbell, fierce Trudy, humor in dark times and Deacon's boring girlfriend.

[Downton Off-Season] - The long-awaited return of Mad Men: Don is having an affair with Lindsay Weir! Meghan is an actual soap star! Peggy is killing it at her new job! She and Stan are besties! Ted Choaugahugh is kind cute in a tux! And everyone is getting high! What's with all the new Man-Hair? What's behind Betty's rapey pillow talk? And most importantly, who's that girl with the violin? At 21:...

[Downton Off-Season] - Since winter is coming (which is too cold for tits to be out), the damsels are on a campaign more male nudity on Game of Thrones. At 16:30, we switch gears and dish about the latest episode of Nashville. Deacon + puppy = lady porn, Gunnar turned into Douche 2.0, and Avery seems to have time travelled to 1992 where digital copies don’t exist.

[Downton Off-Season] - What are our words? Season 3 is coming! The Damsels are dishing about Game of Thrones’ first two seasons of waring and wenching, and we can’t wait for what’s next for all of our favorite characters. Mostly, we marvel at the general bad-assery of our favorite Khaleesi and even throw some admiration Sansa’s way, and fervently pray that she gets to put a sword through Geoffrey’...

Downton Off-Season: There's no grander romance than three damsels analyzing TV, especially when it come to the last two meaty episodes of GIRLS. After stomaching the sugary sweet romantic ending, we get to some rowdy discussion.

Downton Off-Season 1: Pour yourself a glass of something strong and join us for our inaugural Damsels in Discussion podcast. We begin by discussing what TV shows we are obsessed with/hate watching/confessing that we actually watch and are tweeting to no one about, because no one else in the world watches something as lame as us. Curious, aren’t you?

S03 E07: With heavy hearts and full glasses, the damsels discuss the tragic ending to a fabulous season.

S03 E06: The saga of lonely, nasty, tragic gay icon Thomas sends the damsels into a whirlwind of emotions in this penultimate episode.

S03 E05: Oh dear, who knew wearing mourning attire could bring on such giggle fits!

S03 E04: We finally put down the tissues and picked up our microphones. After recounting all of the sob inducing moments: Cora! Thomas! the Dowager on her cane! The last time the three Crawley sisters were together! we got it together to find some spots of joy in this sorrowful episode.

S03 E03: The roof is on fire! Not because of Mrs. Hughes nifty new toaster, but the shenanigans Tom’s been up to in Ireland. We’re almost more shocked than Lord Grantham–even if it *was* an ugly castle.

We rejoin the Crawleys on what should be the happiest day in Edith’s life, but which instead ends in heartbreak, although we’re relieved she doesn’t go all Miss Havisham on us.

The society ladies are back, diving into the roaring '20s along with the residents of Downton Abbey, Season 3!

[MAD MEN S05 E12] - The Femmes wrap up Season 5 with a finale that began with high expectations but ended leaving us, like Stan, bored with this dynamic. There were some awesome moments: Peggy bossing around her junior copywriters in a fabulous new red suit, Joan taking charge of the partners' meeting and the spray paint, Roger and Marie, Roger and his ass, and the partners contemplating their fut...

[MAD MEN S05 E11] - World travel, script pitches and computer issues have kept us away, but the Femmes are back after a 2-weeks hiatus to catch up on three intense episodes! A season about the price of success builds to a climax: Joan goes from flirtatious evening with Don to a paid gig with Mr. Jaguar. Peggy and Lane both make their exits, Peggy elegantly and Lane not so much. Sally becomes a wom...

[MAD MEN S05 E08] - The Femmes smell something in the air, and it's not Thanksgiving turkey-it's passive aggressive envy! Don ditches Ginsburg's ideas in the cab, Betty drops the Anna-Bomb on Sally, Peggy loses her shit with Roger, and Megan's friend is just all "Buy me champagne, beatch." We wonder why Betty only gets one brussels sprout, suggest Peggy try some LSD to get her groove back (and may...

[MAD MEN S05 E07] - The Femmes are unmoved by this boring episode that asks us to care about Megan's unfulfilled acting dreams. Despite looking good on paper (Rory Gilmore! Pizza Haus! Ginsburg's F-Bomb!) we wonder what the point of it all is. We discuss Megan problems, Pete problems, Don's old fogey problems, and Cool Whip (just try it, already!). In fact, even talking about the episode bores us...

[MAD MEN S05 E06] - My Mother, Myse- oh God, I don’t want to be like any of those Mothers! Yes, Marie has a lot of um, talents that she has passed onto Megan. Get your head out of the gutter! I mean that they are both snazzy dressers! Well now that we have that straight…The Femmes break down this family-driven episode where we meet Marie the glamourpuss, discuss the validity of the Quebec accents...

[MAD MEN S05 E05] - WTF Peggy?! WTF Sterling?! WTF Don?! The Femmes struggle to get their bearings straight after this topsy turvy episode! All bets are off after the rules have been broken. You know it's going to be a good episode when Angela's mom from My So Called Life feeds Roger acid, Peggy is a Catholic school girl gone bad (uniform and all!), Jane is sleeping in J.Lo's Versace dress, Don da...

[MAD MEN S05 E04] - We first had Betty Puts On a Few Pounds: An American Tragedy and now we have Pete Campbell Has Everything and Still Isn't Happy: An American Tragedy. If last episode was all about the ladies, this episode is all about the MEN and how damn sad they are. Nevermind about civil rights, these men have real problems and the Femmes dig into them. After the shock of Don's PLAID JACKET,...
