Maybe you’ll even chat with Erin Andrews, who’ll be emceeing the event.

They’ve built their business on perfecting the art and science of throwing the most extravagant pre-game parties, flawlessly executed fêtes packed with athletes, celebrities and endless amounts of booze and gourmet food.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bullseye was founded by the husband and wife team of Lisa and Kyle Kinnett, who had several years of experience in the event planning and sports worlds. They gradually worked their way up to bigger and bigger events, and became the official events and travel partner for the Indianapolis Colts. A few years ago, they saw an opening in the market for a new kind of Super Bowl experience. Plenty of companies offered packages for the big game, pairings of tickets and three nights at a local hotel. But the Kinnetts figured out something that would set them apart: blow-out, no expense spared tailgates preceding the game. But to do so, they had to figure out what transforms a party from being just ok into the best tailgate you’ve ever been to in your entire life--one worthy of their hefty price tags.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They settled on a simple formula. Take all the parts of your relaxed local tailgate, and magnify it. Acquire the biggest TVs and the softest leather couches. Carpet the entirety of the giant space you’ve rented. Offer all-you-can-eat food from a celebrity chef. Get someone well known to moderate it. Then pack the party with active football players to make fans feel like they’re part of the NFL world.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That last part is a key component of the Kinnetts’ quest to create the perfect tailgate. Every year, they invite around 25 active NFL players (“This is not an event where you go and see some retired NFL player from the yesteryears,” their website declares) and allow them to bring a handful of their friends.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Jamal [Charles, Kansas City Chiefs running back] will come and he’ll bring four of his friends with him. Well, when you put one player in an atmosphere of 1,500 people, he gets mugged, right? He’s signing autographs, taking pictures,” said Kyle Kinnett.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“But when you’ve got 35-50 [NFL players] and those guys are bringing their friends, it’s a melting pot. There’s so many players, so many celebrities, that people aren’t getting mugged. They’re having fun.

Ever since their first Super Bowl tailgate in 2012 (celebrity chef: Paula Deen) the parties have been successes, often selling out of their thousands of tickets. This year’s event will hold 1,500 people and promises to be the most extravagant yet, with multiple celebrity chefs, emcee Erin Andrews, and attendees receiving a police escort to the game. Kinnett said the crowd ranges from CEOs of Fortune 500 companies to football-obsessed locals. And their kids: “We got people calling all the time saying, ‘I’ve got a 12-year-old son, can I bring my son?’ And I say to them we should charge more for the kids because the kids have more fun than the adults.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Initially, Kinnett though their success came from the excitement of partying with football players. Then after seeing the response to Paula Deen at their first tailgate, he started to realize that the food was more important than he thought, and that food world celebrities were becoming just as much of a draw as the players.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In the past, the draw was the 25-30 NFL athletes. That’s kind of transitioned to the athletes [being] an afterthought. What I’ve found is you can have the best party in the world, but if you have bad food, you’ve got a bad party,” Kinnett said. “The first year we had Achie Manning as our guest speaker, and Eli Manning was playing in the Super Bowl. People didn’t care about that. They cared about the food. So I’ve made it all about the food. That's what’s most important.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He jettisoned the mediocre catering company he was working with, and started looking for the best chef in the areas where the Super Bowl was being held. When it was in New Orleans, he had John Besh. When it was in New York, he got Marcus Samuelsson.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_106584\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-106584\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/02/SBTailgate-Banner-2-2.jpg\" alt=\"Dessert at the 2015 Players Super Bowl Tailgate\" width=\"1920\" height=\"960\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/02/SBTailgate-Banner-2-2.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/02/SBTailgate-Banner-2-2-400x200.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/02/SBTailgate-Banner-2-2-800x400.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/02/SBTailgate-Banner-2-2-768x384.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/02/SBTailgate-Banner-2-2-1440x720.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/02/SBTailgate-Banner-2-2-1180x590.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/02/SBTailgate-Banner-2-2-960x480.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dessert at the 2015 Players Super Bowl Tailgate \u003ccite>(Bullseye Event Group )\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_106600\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 300px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/02/guyfieri-0179-pkg_resized-400x504.jpg\" alt=\"Guy Fieri – Celebrity Chef for this year’s Players Super Bowl Tailgate\" width=\"300\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-106600\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/02/guyfieri-0179-pkg_resized-400x504.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/02/guyfieri-0179-pkg_resized-800x1007.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/02/guyfieri-0179-pkg_resized-768x967.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/02/guyfieri-0179-pkg_resized.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Guy Fieri – Celebrity Chef for this year’s Players Super Bowl Tailgate \u003ccite>(Courtesy Guy Fieri)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>This year, he found the perfect match, a nationally recognized chef with Bay Area roots whose cuisine seems like it’s designed in a laboratory to be the perfect tailgate food: the one and only \u003ca href=\"http://www.guyfieri.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Guy Fieri\u003c/a>.

The Arizona chef cooked for the last year’s tailgate and makes the experience sound pretty amazing: “As three o'clock rolled around and this thing came to an end, I drank three beers and they’d never tasted so good. Then I walked into the Super Bowl with Guy, a police escort, and watched the Patriots beat the Seattle Seahawks. It couldn’t have been a better ending.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This year, he’ll be in charge of the raw bar (“Oh man, give me that oyster knife, baby, I’m ready to shuck.”) and is excited for the challenge that comes with feeding 1,500 hungry guests.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People have to understand what tailgating is. It’s the pinnacle of fanmanship. So when you get chefs together that love food and football, and then the people involved in football, from the players to Erin Andrews, you can’t get better than that,” MacMillan said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People, as much as they love football, they love to eat.

"headTitle": "KQED Pop | KQED Arts",
"content": "\u003cp>The aphorism goes: your life can change in a split second. And no one knows this better than Janet Jackson, who went from pop music royalty to scapegoat pariah in a matter of 9/16th of a second, the blink of time her breast was accidentally exposed to an estimated 140 million people during 2004's Super Bowl Halftime Show. What came after was a national overreaction that had very little to do with Janet and everything to do with America's long history of sexism, racism and puritanism.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But before we get into all of that, let's travel back in time to the early 1990s for a brief history lesson. The Halftime Show hasn't always been a cultural institution. Back in 1992, the headliners were Dorothy Hamil and Brian Boitano. \u003cem>Who?\u003c/em> you might be wondering. They're figure skaters, who starred alongside gigantic snowmen and rapping kids in iridescent Hammer pants in a performance titled \"Winter Magic.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZjChnNS4JZI\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unsurprisingly, this proved snoozy to a large portion of the audience. 10 million viewers switched over to another network to catch \u003cem>In Living Color\u003c/em> instead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The show's producers knew something had to change if they wanted to keep raking in advertising dollars and remain relevant, so a plan was hatched: get Michael Jackson, who was on top of his game at the time, to perform the following year. The gambit worked; the last moments of Michael's performance were the most viewed in history up until that point and the Halftime Show was revitalized as must-see television.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=idg8TNknvDU\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fast forward 11 years, and it was Janet's turn to carry on the family legacy of slaying at America's most popular sporting event. She pretty much did that -- although we forget -- with live renditions of hits like “Rhythm Nation” and “All for You.” Then Justin Timberlake joined her on stage for a duet version of his single, “Rock Your Body.\" At the point in the song when he sings, \"Better have you naked by the end of this song,” he was supposed to pull Janet's bustier to reveal a red lace bra, but both pieces ended up ripping off.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then everyone got insanely mad at Justin for messing up.

For those of you who aren’t as woke as you’d like to be, the term refers to depictions of black women as lustful, promiscuous, insatiable and immoral, a characterization that was used by white slave owners to justify forcing female slaves to procreate and as a legal defense when raping these women.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We like to think we’re far removed from America's dark past, as if printing (some of) the facts into textbooks absolved us and negated the impact of all of that history, but situations like the treatment of Janet after the Halftime Show prove that the struggle for civil rights for women and people of color is an ongoing negotiation. The oppression is still all around us; it has simply evolved and learned how to camouflage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The anti-Janet uproar wasn't just confined to talk shows, radio stations and op-eds, thanks to the efforts of Michael Powell, who was the chairman of the FCC at the time. He called the incident a “classless, crass and deplorable stunt” and effectively waged a culture war, which resulted in fining CBS $550,000, policing TV for \"immoral\" content, and implementing a five-second delay for all future live televised performances. The fine per indecency violation was raised from $27,500 to $325,000. All nine American network soap operas eliminated sexual storylines, \u003cem>ER\u003c/em> re-edited an episode that featured some of an injured elderly woman's breast and the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show was scrapped.

They needed something to focus on instead of the war, and I was the perfect vehicle for that.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A familial connection that brings Janet's concern into sharp focus: FCC head Michael Powell's father is none other than Colin Powell, George W.

And no one knows this better than Janet Jackson, who went from pop music royalty to scapegoat pariah in a matter of 9/16th of a second, the blink of time her breast was accidentally exposed to an estimated 140 million people during 2004's Super Bowl Halftime Show. What came after was a national overreaction that had very little to do with Janet and everything to do with America's long history of sexism, racism and puritanism.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But before we get into all of that, let's travel back in time to the early 1990s for a brief history lesson. The Halftime Show hasn't always been a cultural institution. Back in 1992, the headliners were Dorothy Hamil and Brian Boitano. \u003cem>Who?\u003c/em> you might be wondering. They're figure skaters, who starred alongside gigantic snowmen and rapping kids in iridescent Hammer pants in a performance titled \"Winter Magic.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/ZjChnNS4JZI'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/ZjChnNS4JZI'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>Unsurprisingly, this proved snoozy to a large portion of the audience. 10 million viewers switched over to another network to catch \u003cem>In Living Color\u003c/em> instead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The show's producers knew something had to change if they wanted to keep raking in advertising dollars and remain relevant, so a plan was hatched: get Michael Jackson, who was on top of his game at the time, to perform the following year. The gambit worked; the last moments of Michael's performance were the most viewed in history up until that point and the Halftime Show was revitalized as must-see television.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Proceedings have begun in Baltimore and Sarah Koenig, who got us all so worked up about this story in the first place, was thankfully in attendance. She shared the big takeaways from day 1 (of 3) with producer Dana Chivvis over the phone in \u003ca href=\"https://serialpodcast.org/season-one/adnan-syeds-hearing/day-01\" target=\"_blank\">a mini \u003cem>Serial\u003c/em> update episode\u003c/a>. \u003cem>The Baltimore Sun\u003c/em>’s \u003ca href=\"http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/crime/bs-md-ci-syed-hearing-day-one-20160203-story.html\" target=\"_blank\">Justin Fenton also reported \u003c/a>on the day's events. Here's what they had to say:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>The first half of the day was spent establishing that Cristina Gutierrez, Adnan's lawyer during his initial trial, had been declining physically, mentally and professionally. Two of Gutierrez' former colleagues testified about how she passed off cases to others around that time, due to the physical pain she was in, and said that her courtroom performance waned dramatically.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>The big witness of the day was Asia McClain, who has long claimed that she spoke with Adnan in the library during the time frame of Hae Min Lee's murder.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Asia on why she was testifying: \u003c/strong>\"I felt for justice to be served we should put all the information on the table. I just thought it was the right thing to do.\"\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Maryland Attorney General Thiru Vignarajah argued that Gutierrez not following up on Asia as a potential alibi was a strategic move and had nothing to do with declining ability. He also stood firm in the results of the first trial: \"Mr. Syed was convicted on the basis of overwhelming evidence. Mr. Syed was convicted because he did it, and the state proved it.\"\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Asia on how \u003cem>Serial\u003c/em> changed the way she thought about her role in Adnan's case:\u003c/strong> \"I didn't think I was very important at all, I came to find out, as Sarah [Koenig] said, maybe it\u003cem> is\u003c/em> important.\"\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>According to Koenig, Asia came off really well for the defense, but anticipates the prosecution will attack the imprecise nature of her overall memory on day 2.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>A statement from Hae Min Lee's family: \"Our family has lived without a heart for over 17 years and we continue to grieve everyday in private. The immediate family members have decided not to attend this hearing, but we are grateful for all the people who are there and will be there to support us and to give Hae a voice.

"content": "\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>Last week, \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/2016/01/29/serials-adnan-syed-gets-second-chance-in-court-next-week/\" target=\"_blank\">a new hearing was scheduled \u003c/a>for \u003cem>Serial\u003c/em>’s Adnan Syed. Proceedings have begun in Baltimore and Sarah Koenig, who got us all so worked up about this story in the first place, was thankfully in attendance. She shared the big takeaways from day 1 (of 3) with producer Dana Chivvis over the phone in \u003ca href=\"https://serialpodcast.org/season-one/adnan-syeds-hearing/day-01\" target=\"_blank\">a mini \u003cem>Serial\u003c/em> update episode\u003c/a>. \u003cem>The Baltimore Sun\u003c/em>’s \u003ca href=\"http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/crime/bs-md-ci-syed-hearing-day-one-20160203-story.html\" target=\"_blank\">Justin Fenton also reported \u003c/a>on the day's events. Here's what they had to say:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>The first half of the day was spent establishing that Cristina Gutierrez, Adnan's lawyer during his initial trial, had been declining physically, mentally and professionally. Two of Gutierrez' former colleagues testified about how she passed off cases to others around that time, due to the physical pain she was in, and said that her courtroom performance waned dramatically.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>The big witness of the day was Asia McClain, who has long claimed that she spoke with Adnan in the library during the time frame of Hae Min Lee's murder.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Asia on why she was testifying: \u003c/strong>\"I felt for justice to be served we should put all the information on the table. I just thought it was the right thing to do.\"\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Maryland Attorney General Thiru Vignarajah argued that Gutierrez not following up on Asia as a potential alibi was a strategic move and had nothing to do with declining ability. He also stood firm in the results of the first trial: \"Mr. Syed was convicted on the basis of overwhelming evidence. Mr. Syed was convicted because he did it, and the state proved it.\"\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Asia on how \u003cem>Serial\u003c/em> changed the way she thought about her role in Adnan's case:\u003c/strong> \"I didn't think I was very important at all, I came to find out, as Sarah [Koenig] said, maybe it\u003cem> is\u003c/em> important.\"\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>According to Koenig, Asia came off really well for the defense, but anticipates the prosecution will attack the imprecise nature of her overall memory on day 2.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>A statement from Hae Min Lee's family: \"Our family has lived without a heart for over 17 years and we continue to grieve everyday in private. The immediate family members have decided not to attend this hearing, but we are grateful for all the people who are there and will be there to support us and to give Hae a voice. She is the true victim. Although this has made us relive a nightmare we thought was behind us, we thank the State for standing up for us and continuing to seek justice. We believe justice was done when Adnan was convicted in 2000 and we look forward to bringing this chapter to an end so we can celebrate the memory of Hae, instead of celebrating the man who killed her. We ask that you keep Hae in your thoughts and prayers.\"\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>Listen to the \u003cem>Serial\u003c/em> update:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca class=\"embedly-card\" href=\"https://serialpodcast.org/season-one/adnan-syeds-hearing/day-01\">Update: Day 01, Adnan Syed's Hearing\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And read Justin Fenton's full report:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

His reign also coincided with a golden age for the music video as a medium, as the \u003cem>Grease \u003c/em>homage below can help underscore.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VcP96KbFIIU\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ashanti, for her part, is well-known by those in the industry as a gifted songwriter, while her voice is sweet beyond sweet. But she was primarily packaged for listeners as the bad-guy rappers' kid sister, \"the princess of hip-hop and R&B,\" the soft, feminine half of the call-and-response hooks on songs like Fat Joe's \"What's Luv.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9x99ZmVefxc\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She was also poised, at one time, to be a legit superstar: After playing second fiddle for several years, Ashanti's 2002 self-titled debut hit the Billboard charts at No. 1, in large part thanks to \"Foolish.\" From 2002 to 2003, she won eight Billboard Awards, two American Music Awards, two Soul Train Music Awards and a Grammy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gUPrnu3BEU8\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And then?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then she started dating Nelly, and Murder Inc. got investigated by the FBI for (allegedly) running on \u003ca href=\"http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/72794/report-feds-raid-murder-inc-in-irv-gotti-probe\" target=\"_blank\">actual murder and drug money\u003c/a>\u003ca href=\"http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/72794/report-feds-raid-murder-inc-in-irv-gotti-probe\" target=\"_blank\">;\u003c/a> her third, fourth, and fifth records didn't do so well.

You can see the video for it -- and the only slightly awkward \"drink more water\" campaign tie-in with Michelle Obama's Partnership for a Healthier America -- at\u003ca href=\"http://www.drinkupashanti.com/\" target=\"_blank\"> DrinkUpAshanti.com.\u003c/a> Said website encourages fan interaction by telling viewers to \"rehydrate\" the new tune, and also includes the disclaimer: \"Do not throw actual water on the video.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg class=\" wp-image-20208 aligncenter\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/02/ja-rule-400x104.jpg\" alt=\"ja rule\" width=\"451\" height=\"117\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/02/ja-rule-400x104.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/02/ja-rule.jpg 638w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 451px) 100vw, 451px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ja Rule, meanwhile, after beefing with 50 Cent and like \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ja_Rule#Feuds\" target=\"_blank\">4000 other people\u003c/a>, serving time for gun possession, and writing a memoir, premiered an MTV reality show in 2015 called \u003cem>Follow the Rules. \u003c/em>He\u003cem> \u003c/em>also keeps saying he has an album coming.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Time will tell what the future holds for this pair in terms of an actual return to cultural relevance.

One option is to think of the positive: it’s not that often that everyone is brought together in solidarity over a televised event, so revel in the high-fives from strangers, the company of your friends, the finger food, and the overall sense of community. Plan B is to convince yourself that the game of helmeted giants hurling themselves at each other is actually just a pre and after party for the real event: a glimpse of Beyonce during Coldplay's Halftime Show!

Plan B is to convince yourself that the game of helmeted giants hurling themselves at each other is actually just a pre and after party for the real event: a glimpse of Beyonce during Coldplay's Halftime Show!

It’s not hard to see why: young Thora Birch and Scarlett Johanssen perfectly capture the ambivalence and disgruntlement of being 18, while Steve Buscemi plays a very endearing version of Steve Buscemi.

Everyone from Busta Rhymes to Erykah Badu to Kendrick Lamar to jazz pianist Robert Glasper — all of whom have penned or performed tributes to Dilla — would tell you the same. Pay tribute in your own way at this annual party, which takes place in major cities around the U.S. on or around his birthday (Feb. 7). This night includes a slew of West Coast DJs, featuring J Rocc, one of Dilla’s closest collaborators.

Keys’ long-awaited sixth studio album is forthcoming in 2016, so if we’re lucky, we might get to hear some new material alongside the vocal chord gymnastics of hits like “Fallin’,” “Girl On Fire,” “No One,”….and on and on and on.

It’s not hard to see why: young Thora Birch and Scarlett Johanssen perfectly capture the ambivalence and disgruntlement of being 18, while Steve Buscemi plays a very endearing version of Steve Buscemi. Q&A with the director and the underrated actress Douglas will follow. $13.25; \u003ca href=\"https://drafthouse.com/sf/show/ghost-world-with-illeana-douglas-and-terry-zwigoff\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">details here. \u003c/a>\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/5nO7IA1DeeI'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/5nO7IA1DeeI'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Saturday, Feb. 6: Dilla Day Hip-Hop Celebration at Mighty, SF. \u003c/strong>Few individuals have shaped the sound of hip-hop over the last two decades like rapper-producer J Dilla — which is really saying something considering he died at just 32 years old from a rare blood disease in 2006. Everyone from Busta Rhymes to Erykah Badu to Kendrick Lamar to jazz pianist Robert Glasper — all of whom have penned or performed tributes to Dilla — would tell you the same. Pay tribute in your own way at this annual party, which takes place in major cities around the U.S. on or around his birthday (Feb. 7). This night includes a slew of West Coast DJs, featuring J Rocc, one of Dilla’s closest collaborators.

Keys’ long-awaited sixth studio album is forthcoming in 2016, so if we’re lucky, we might get to hear some new material alongside the vocal chord gymnastics of hits like “Fallin’,” “Girl On Fire,” “No One,”….and on and on and on.

Between dealing with his family — the members of which still insist on calling him by his former name, Angela — and having a chance meeting with a mysterious, erudite stranger, Archer learns more about his identity and roots as well as about the evolving nature of the world around him. What sets this play apart from other trans narratives is that the theme of transition is more metaphorical than literal. “I had been feeling frustrated that most queer narratives are coming-out stories and most transgender narratives are transition stories,” Kaufman is quoted as saying on the theater website \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://www.broadwayworld.com/san-francisco/article/FOR-THE-LOVE-OF-COMRADES-THE-KID-THING-SAGITTARIUS-PONDEROSA-and-More-Set-for-NCTCs-2015-16-Season-20150327\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Broadway World\u003c/a>\u003c/em>. “I wanted to create art that would acknowledge constant change as an intrinsic part of being a person.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Now through Sunday, Feb. 28: \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"https://auroratheatre.org/index.php?option=com_theatre&view=show&id=116\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Little Erik\u003c/a>\u003c/em> at Aurora Theatre, Berkeley\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nHenrik Ibsen wrote his play \u003cem>Little Eyolf\u003c/em> in 1894. At the time, the plotline, about a wife who supports the family while the husband stays home to write a novel and look after their kid, must have seemed crazily far-fetched. But today, the gender role-reversal feels more normal, which is in part why San Francisco dramatist, actor and director Mark Jackson became intrigued by the quirky, domestic drama. Jackson’s adaptation fully transports the action into our own times for this Aurora Theatre world premiere: Marilee Talkington plays the role of a Silicon Valley executive and Joseph Estlack takes on the part of her husband who has just returned home following a sabbatical abroad. Jackson directs. “Ibsen is really great at writing psychologically messy characters, and these characters are particularly messy,” he told the \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"https://auroratheatre.org/index.php?option=com_theatre&view=content&id=284&type=review\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">San Francisco Chronicle\u003c/a>\u003c/em> in a recent interview about the new show.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Thursday, Feb. 4: Kid Koala’s \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"https://live.stanford.edu/calendar/february-2016/kid-koalas-nufonia-must-fall\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Nufonia Must Fall\u003c/a>\u003c/em> at the Bing Concert Hall, Stanford\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nKid Koala (aka Eric San) has made a career of entertaining audiences around the globe with his turntables. He’s toured with the Beastie Boys and Radiohead. But there’s a lot more to the Canadian scratch DJ’s art practice than spinning records. His enchanting 2003 graphic novel \u003cem>Nufonia Must Fall\u003c/em> about an inept robot’s attempt to woo a busy girl with his love songs has been turned into a live show featuring puppets, live music and silent film. What’s more, the audience gets to see the production crew pulling the show together in real-time before their very eyes: puppeteers animate miniature puppets, the Afiara Quartet provides the musical accompaniment on strings and piano, and Kid Koala does his stuff on the decks. Spike Jonze collaborator and \u003cem>Her\u003c/em> Oscar nominee K. K. Barrett keeps things thrumming along in his role as director. The action, skilfully edited in the moment, comes alive on a big screen above the stage with the aid of GoPro cameras that film the scenes. The show has already gotten great reviews in cities like New York and Toronto and is attracting a big crowd to Stanford.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11280574\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11280574\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/01/Rosselyn-Ramirez-and-Raymond-Tilton-in-Photo-from-George-Balanchine%E2%80%99s-Apollo.-Photo-Berenger-Zyla-e1453930486331-800x545.jpg\" alt=\"Rosselyn Ramirez and Raymond Tilton in Photo from George Balanchine’s Apollo.\" width=\"800\" height=\"545\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/01/Rosselyn-Ramirez-and-Raymond-Tilton-in-Photo-from-George-Balanchine’s-Apollo.-Photo-Berenger-Zyla-e1453930486331-800x545.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/01/Rosselyn-Ramirez-and-Raymond-Tilton-in-Photo-from-George-Balanchine’s-Apollo.-Photo-Berenger-Zyla-e1453930486331-400x273.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/01/Rosselyn-Ramirez-and-Raymond-Tilton-in-Photo-from-George-Balanchine’s-Apollo.-Photo-Berenger-Zyla-e1453930486331-768x524.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/01/Rosselyn-Ramirez-and-Raymond-Tilton-in-Photo-from-George-Balanchine’s-Apollo.-Photo-Berenger-Zyla-e1453930486331-1180x804.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/01/Rosselyn-Ramirez-and-Raymond-Tilton-in-Photo-from-George-Balanchine’s-Apollo.-Photo-Berenger-Zyla-e1453930486331-1920x1309.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/01/Rosselyn-Ramirez-and-Raymond-Tilton-in-Photo-from-George-Balanchine’s-Apollo.-Photo-Berenger-Zyla-e1453930486331-960x654.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Rosselyn Ramirez and Raymond Tilton in Photo from George Balanchine’s Apollo. \u003ccite>(Photo: Berenger Zyla)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Friday, Feb. 5 and Saturday, Feb. 6: Diablo Ballet presents \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://diabloballet.org/performances/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Precision and Balance\u003c/a>\u003c/em> at Del Valle Theatre, Walnut Creek\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nOne of the things I love about the Bay Area is that even small cities are able to sustain rarefied things like professional dance companies.

At the time, the plotline, about a wife who supports the family while the husband stays home to write a novel and look after their kid, must have seemed crazily far-fetched. But today, the gender role-reversal feels more normal, which is in part why San Francisco dramatist, actor and director Mark Jackson became intrigued by the quirky, domestic drama. Jackson’s adaptation fully transports the action into our own times for this Aurora Theatre world premiere: Marilee Talkington plays the role of a Silicon Valley executive and Joseph Estlack takes on the part of her husband who has just returned home following a sabbatical abroad. Jackson directs. “Ibsen is really great at writing psychologically messy characters, and these characters are particularly messy,” he told the \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"https://auroratheatre.org/index.php?option=com_theatre&view=content&id=284&type=review\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">San Francisco Chronicle\u003c/a>\u003c/em> in a recent interview about the new show.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Thursday, Feb. 4: Kid Koala’s \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"https://live.stanford.edu/calendar/february-2016/kid-koalas-nufonia-must-fall\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Nufonia Must Fall\u003c/a>\u003c/em> at the Bing Concert Hall, Stanford\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nKid Koala (aka Eric San) has made a career of entertaining audiences around the globe with his turntables. He’s toured with the Beastie Boys and Radiohead. But there’s a lot more to the Canadian scratch DJ’s art practice than spinning records. His enchanting 2003 graphic novel \u003cem>Nufonia Must Fall\u003c/em> about an inept robot’s attempt to woo a busy girl with his love songs has been turned into a live show featuring puppets, live music and silent film. What’s more, the audience gets to see the production crew pulling the show together in real-time before their very eyes: puppeteers animate miniature puppets, the Afiara Quartet provides the musical accompaniment on strings and piano, and Kid Koala does his stuff on the decks. Spike Jonze collaborator and \u003cem>Her\u003c/em> Oscar nominee K. K. Barrett keeps things thrumming along in his role as director. The action, skilfully edited in the moment, comes alive on a big screen above the stage with the aid of GoPro cameras that film the scenes. The show has already gotten great reviews in cities like New York and Toronto and is attracting a big crowd to Stanford.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11280574\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11280574\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/01/Rosselyn-Ramirez-and-Raymond-Tilton-in-Photo-from-George-Balanchine%E2%80%99s-Apollo.-Photo-Berenger-Zyla-e1453930486331-800x545.jpg\" alt=\"Rosselyn Ramirez and Raymond Tilton in Photo from George Balanchine’s Apollo.\" width=\"800\" height=\"545\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/01/Rosselyn-Ramirez-and-Raymond-Tilton-in-Photo-from-George-Balanchine’s-Apollo.-Photo-Berenger-Zyla-e1453930486331-800x545.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/01/Rosselyn-Ramirez-and-Raymond-Tilton-in-Photo-from-George-Balanchine’s-Apollo.-Photo-Berenger-Zyla-e1453930486331-400x273.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/01/Rosselyn-Ramirez-and-Raymond-Tilton-in-Photo-from-George-Balanchine’s-Apollo.-Photo-Berenger-Zyla-e1453930486331-768x524.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/01/Rosselyn-Ramirez-and-Raymond-Tilton-in-Photo-from-George-Balanchine’s-Apollo.-Photo-Berenger-Zyla-e1453930486331-1180x804.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/01/Rosselyn-Ramirez-and-Raymond-Tilton-in-Photo-from-George-Balanchine’s-Apollo.-Photo-Berenger-Zyla-e1453930486331-1920x1309.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/01/Rosselyn-Ramirez-and-Raymond-Tilton-in-Photo-from-George-Balanchine’s-Apollo.-Photo-Berenger-Zyla-e1453930486331-960x654.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Rosselyn Ramirez and Raymond Tilton in Photo from George Balanchine’s Apollo. \u003ccite>(Photo: Berenger Zyla)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Friday, Feb. 5 and Saturday, Feb. 6: Diablo Ballet presents \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://diabloballet.org/performances/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Precision and Balance\u003c/a>\u003c/em> at Del Valle Theatre, Walnut Creek\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nOne of the things I love about the Bay Area is that even small cities are able to sustain rarefied things like professional dance companies.

Will she still be floating around this week and come up behind Branson while \u003ca href=\"https://metrouk2.files.wordpress.com/2015/06/ghoflop1.gif\" target=\"_blank\">he's molding clay at a pottery wheel\u003c/a>? Will she hide all of Cora's coats to incite a class war? Only one way to find out! On with the show!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's moving day for Daisy's father-in-law. See what having insane daily outbursts and stalking people will get you? Lots of square footage, but imagine all the really bad juju left over from Marigold's kidnapper. Here's hoping Daisy had the good sense to steal some sage from Mrs. Patmore's kitchen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On a hill overlooking the Abbey, Branson asks Mary if she's pissed that he orchestrated handing over the Drews' farm to Daisy's mooch father-in-law behind her back. Mary says it ain't no thang 'cause now that there's a new hunk on the horizon and baby George is out of diapers (not that she ever changed any of them herself), her rage issues have subsided. Or maybe the London miscarriage-preventing doctor wrote her a prescription for chill pills? Either way, drop a pair of shades on Mary's face 'cause she's as cool as a cucumber these days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the downstairs kitchen, Mrs. Patmore asks about the move and Daisy reveals that her father-in-law moved all his crap into the front courtyard and the Drews haven't even moved out yet! Way to rub it in! Zero couth!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite getting her way, Daisy is still super bitter about her father-in-law's former landlord. Girl, get a life! Or take that exam or whatever.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mrs. Patmore and Daisy decide to go on an outing to visit the farm (probably to point and laugh as Marigold's kidnapper, her husband and all their newly homeless kids move out). Andy pops out of nowhere to invite himself along. For once, Thomas isn't there to be brutally rebuffed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Upstairs, Edith gets a letter from her newspaper deadline crush that makes her giggle as loud as she has to in order to get her dad's attention. Before Robert can get into the birds and the bees talk with her, the Dowager waltzes in with a new scheme to stop the hospital merger. She plans to use a Crimea war connection (sometimes I forget she's 2 billion years old) to get the Minister of Health to pay a visit and listen to all her reasons why the family should retain control. 1. Because. 2. Um...yeah, that's about it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Robert doesn't think she can pull it off, to which the Dowager uses my new favorite insult: \"Don't be jejune!\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back in the kitchen, Mrs. Hughes wants to have dinner with Mr. Carson in their new cottage instead of with everyone else. Guess she's taken a liking to being naked around the hubster. Mrs. Patmore gives her a hard time and Daisy says she's just jealous. Mrs. Patmore is like \u003cem>Uh, duh! I'm a 50-year-old virgin!\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the dining room, Robert tells the fam that Mary's new husband who I should probably call by his real name at some point wants her to join him as he looks at a car. Branson invites himself because he's funemployed and then asks if Edith wants to come too. She declines because she's come to enjoy being the outsider martyr.

The old people are upstairs scheming about how they can get the most out of the Health Minister's visit. Cousin Isobel's self-righteousness has officially become a supporting character.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Downstairs in the shoe polish room where everything always happens, Bates and Anna grill Andy about why he's so rude to Thomas.

Baxter leaves with him as if she's walking to her own death. Molesley fumbles along because the \u003cem>Downton\u003c/em> writers are trying to turn them into Bates and Anna version 2.0. Return to sender. The original version is more than enough.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Somewhere on the grounds, Branson and Mary talk about her new boy toy. \"I don't mean to sound snobbish, but I won't marry down.\" A totally reasonable thing to say to the former pauper who married into your sister's wealth. Someone forgot to take their chill pill this morning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the village, Denker takes a break from blackmailing Spratt to intimidate Dr. Clarkson for switching hospital merger teams. Is it just me or does Denker's wig deserve its own SAG Award?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a courtroom somewhere, Baxter tells Molesley she doesn't have to testify after all because criminal dude changed his plea. So the whole point of this anti-climactic storyline was for us to witness Molesley follow Baxter around and help her put on her coat so that when they get together in the end we won't be like \u003cem>That was undeserved! \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the farm, Daisy and co. are all unpacking her father-in-law's things and no one thinks about the fact that the only reason this place is vacant is because of a child abduction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mary and Branson stop by to tell Daisy's father-in-law that he's old and how they're concerned he won't be able to take care of the pigs. Andy randomly lies about how he and Mr. Mason have made an arrangement for Andy's young limbs to counterbalance Mr. Mason's feeble ones. Everyone's like \u003cem>Ok cool.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In London, Edith is on her date. They talk about how his boss is not married and likes to spend all his time in Tangier painting portraits of young men. Ummm, I think we found a boyfriend for Thomas! You had your chance, Andy!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Edith makes a sexy (for Edith) proposition: \"Come to my flat for a drink, I'll show it to you.\" Her date replies: \"What a racy plan.\" He seems like he would be a really good texter and emoji user. I hope he doesn't have any plans to hang out in Germany anytime soon. #RIPMarigoldsDad\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the middle of nowhere, Branson and Mary watch her new dude race cars. Branson gives her a hard time for not enjoying the speed and spectacle. Uh, did he forget that this is triggering because her last husband died while driving too fast?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In London, Edith interviews a woman who was born in 1892 like herself. They commiserate over being Victorian babies who grew up into modern women. New bestie alert (since it doesn't seem like Virginia Woolf is going to let Edith join the Bloomsbury clique)!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back at the farm, Mr. Mason wants Daisy to come live with him. Seems kind of creepy, but she'll probably do it. Mr. Mason looks at Daisy and then Andy in a way that makes me worry the\u003cem> Downton\u003c/em> writers are going to put these two together. I should start doing eye exercises now, just in case, so that I can eye roll as hard as I want when the time comes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back at Downton, Cora and Robert are baby sitting. Baby Sybbie says something problematic about \"red Indians.\" Kids say the darnedest things, don't they? Robert's side pain is back and he has to sit down. Will the Grim Reaper's scythe be more sharpened than Carson's dinner knife?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the Dowager's house, she receives a tattle-tale letter from Dr. Clarkson about Denker, who is fired on the spot. Spratt's lucky day. Her going away party is going to be so boozy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a pub (!), Mary throws a few back. Her new boy brings up Evelyn Napier (former suitor -- until Mary told him he was boring -- and bestie of the Turk who died in Mary's bed). They make plans to have dinner with him soon, which won't be awkward at all.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the servants' hall, Andy and Thomas have the most boring conversation about pigs and books about pigs. Oscar Wilde would be so disappointed. All the words in the world and they use these.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Edith's single lady flat, she and her date drink fancy cocktails. Her forehead is wearing jewelry. She explains that she's over Downton and dawdling in Mary's wake and wants to be a hipster in London forevermore.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her date is a good listener. He also knows how to pick the right cafes for dinner so Edith green-lights a make out session before they head out.

Then, Bates says he wishes everyone was as happy as he is.

The contractions are getting closer and closer together! Sybil's ghost's revenge for messing up her delivery and killing her in the process?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Dowager has Carson change the seat assignments for dinner. Robert warns that she's switched to \"a very junior seat.\" The Dowager's reply is in French -- \"Il faut reculer pour mieux sauter\" -- but fear not; I have a French minor (*cough*and access to Google Translate*cough*) and can tell you that it means: \"You must step back to jump further.\" Let the games begin!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Health Minister arrives and everyone is trying to grab him. He totally dyes his mustache.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Downstairs, Daisy criticizes the Minister's lack of support for unions and Carson congratulates him for it. Can someone explain to me why the Downton fandom likes Carson so much? His opinions are terrible and he's not funny or charming or fun.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Upstairs, all the old people fight over the hospital and the Health Minister is turned way off. Robert puts an end to the fighting by grabbing his side, standing up AND SPEWING BLOOD ALL OVER THE TABLE AND EVERYONE AND COLLAPSING AND VOMITING ON THE CARPET.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Okay, I thought he was going to die, but damn!

He chokes out a proclamation of love for Cora while everyone screams.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Downstairs, the servants are freaking out too. Carson tells the maids to get coats for Cora and Mary. \"Don't forget Lady Edith.\" Even in times of crisis, the writers can't help but crap all over poor Jan Brady.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/01/tumblr_nib4rjOEKT1r6k6v0o1_400.gif\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-20132\">\u003cimg class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-20132\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/01/tumblr_nib4rjOEKT1r6k6v0o1_400.gif\" alt=\"jan ignore brady gif\" width=\"400\" height=\"228\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Upstairs, the Health Minister tells Cora: \u003cem>Ummm, I think I'm gonna go... \u003c/em>Then Cora and the Dowager argue over the hospital some more because this seems like a good time for that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Dowager brings up the secret of Marigold and Mary overhears and realizes \u003cem>Wait a second...Edith's 9 month vacation and the random mute baby that hangs out with my son all day just might have something to do with each other! \u003c/em>By George, I think she's got it! (Took her long enough).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The medics arrive and cart dazed, confused and blood-soaked Robert off. Everyone follows...except for Branson who is straight up chilling and doesn't seem to be bothered one bit as he leisurely gossips with the Health Minister. Looks like I'm not the only one who holds a grudge against Robert for killing Sybil.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some time later, the servants are all hanging out downstairs waiting for news. Andy is not reading.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Carson gets a phone call and delivers the news: Robert had surgery and is going to be fine. Yay, I guess.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Upstairs, Mary and Edith get back from the hospital. They're finally alone and no one is around to stop them from finally having a duel once and for all, but enough blood has been shed this evening. Plus, Mary's too weirded out by Edith being someone's mom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After Edith goes to bed, Branson rolls up wearing a casual robe because he's been kicking back with zero worries since Robert spewed his insides all over the mansion. Mary tells him that they should take over all control from her dad so he doesn't worry and get another ulcer. Branson rightfully proclaims this The Age of Queen Mary.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/01/tumblr_myzjm4NVyZ1s5lf2ro1_500.gif\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-20137\">\u003cimg class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-20137\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/01/tumblr_myzjm4NVyZ1s5lf2ro1_500.gif\" alt=\"beyonce bow down gif\" width=\"500\" height=\"246\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And scene!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>After every episode, it's only right to reward characters who've impressed and diss the ones that haven't, so here goes:\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003cstrong>PIECE OF COAL:\u003c/strong>\u003c/em>\u003cstrong> Carson: \u003c/strong>Make your own F-ing dinner.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003cstrong>HONORABLE MENTION: \u003c/strong>\u003c/em>\u003cstrong>Mary: \u003c/strong>She was very chill about hanging out at a dirty pub.

Will she hide all of Cora's coats to incite a class war? Only one way to find out! On with the show!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's moving day for Daisy's father-in-law. See what having insane daily outbursts and stalking people will get you? Lots of square footage, but imagine all the really bad juju left over from Marigold's kidnapper. Here's hoping Daisy had the good sense to steal some sage from Mrs. Patmore's kitchen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On a hill overlooking the Abbey, Branson asks Mary if she's pissed that he orchestrated handing over the Drews' farm to Daisy's mooch father-in-law behind her back. Mary says it ain't no thang 'cause now that there's a new hunk on the horizon and baby George is out of diapers (not that she ever changed any of them herself), her rage issues have subsided. Or maybe the London miscarriage-preventing doctor wrote her a prescription for chill pills? Either way, drop a pair of shades on Mary's face 'cause she's as cool as a cucumber these days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the downstairs kitchen, Mrs. Patmore asks about the move and Daisy reveals that her father-in-law moved all his crap into the front courtyard and the Drews haven't even moved out yet! Way to rub it in! Zero couth!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite getting her way, Daisy is still super bitter about her father-in-law's former landlord. Girl, get a life!

Andy pops out of nowhere to invite himself along. For once, Thomas isn't there to be brutally rebuffed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Upstairs, Edith gets a letter from her newspaper deadline crush that makes her giggle as loud as she has to in order to get her dad's attention. Before Robert can get into the birds and the bees talk with her, the Dowager waltzes in with a new scheme to stop the hospital merger. She plans to use a Crimea war connection (sometimes I forget she's 2 billion years old) to get the Minister of Health to pay a visit and listen to all her reasons why the family should retain control. 1. Because. 2. Um...yeah, that's about it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Robert doesn't think she can pull it off, to which the Dowager uses my new favorite insult: \"Don't be jejune!\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back in the kitchen, Mrs. Hughes wants to have dinner with Mr. Carson in their new cottage instead of with everyone else. Guess she's taken a liking to being naked around the hubster. Mrs. Patmore gives her a hard time and Daisy says she's just jealous. Mrs. Patmore is like \u003cem>Uh, duh! I'm a 50-year-old virgin!\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the dining room, Robert tells the fam that Mary's new husband who I should probably call by his real name at some point wants her to join him as he looks at a car. Branson invites himself because he's funemployed and then asks if Edith wants to come too. She declines because she's come to enjoy being the outsider martyr.

Andy says he's gotten to know something about Thomas, something he doesn't want to say \"with a lady present.\" Bates and Anna are like \u003cem>LOLOL We've known he was gay since before you were born, bucko! \u003c/em>Andy goes on to say\u003cem> No homo \u003c/em>a thousand times in a row and Bates and Anna give each other a knowing look that says\u003cem> Does the closeted gay protest too much?\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the Carson/Hughes sex cottage, Mrs. Hughes serves Carson dinner like a good early 20th century housewife. He complains about the meat not being cooked to his liking, the plate being cold and the knife not being sharp enough like a typical early 20th century husband. Mrs. Hughes hates her life and regrets everything.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The next day, everyone makes Edith feel bad about her date.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/01/tumblr_nigx43prIp1qkgh4go2_r2_250.gif\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-20124\">\u003cimg class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-20124\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/01/tumblr_nigx43prIp1qkgh4go2_r2_250.gif\" alt=\"jan brady gif marcia\" width=\"245\" height=\"285\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Downstairs, Mrs. Hughes tells Patmore and Daisy all about how Carson is an entitled, sexist picky-eater who probably is one of those people who claim cilantro tastes like soap.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Sergeant comes in because it's been more than an hour since he's bugged everyone. Baxter leaves with him as if she's walking to her own death. Molesley fumbles along because the \u003cem>Downton\u003c/em> writers are trying to turn them into Bates and Anna version 2.0. Return to sender. The original version is more than enough.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Somewhere on the grounds, Branson and Mary talk about her new boy toy. \"I don't mean to sound snobbish, but I won't marry down.\" A totally reasonable thing to say to the former pauper who married into your sister's wealth. Someone forgot to take their chill pill this morning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the village, Denker takes a break from blackmailing Spratt to intimidate Dr. Clarkson for switching hospital merger teams. Is it just me or does Denker's wig deserve its own SAG Award?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a courtroom somewhere, Baxter tells Molesley she doesn't have to testify after all because criminal dude changed his plea. So the whole point of this anti-climactic storyline was for us to witness Molesley follow Baxter around and help her put on her coat so that when they get together in the end we won't be like \u003cem>That was undeserved! \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the farm, Daisy and co. are all unpacking her father-in-law's things and no one thinks about the fact that the only reason this place is vacant is because of a child abduction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mary and Branson stop by to tell Daisy's father-in-law that he's old and how they're concerned he won't be able to take care of the pigs. Andy randomly lies about how he and Mr. Mason have made an arrangement for Andy's young limbs to counterbalance Mr. Mason's feeble ones. Everyone's like \u003cem>Ok cool.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In London, Edith is on her date. They talk about how his boss is not married and likes to spend all his time in Tangier painting portraits of young men. Ummm, I think we found a boyfriend for Thomas! You had your chance, Andy!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Edith makes a sexy (for Edith) proposition: \"Come to my flat for a drink, I'll show it to you.\" Her date replies: \"What a racy plan.\" He seems like he would be a really good texter and emoji user. I hope he doesn't have any plans to hang out in Germany anytime soon. #RIPMarigoldsDad\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the middle of nowhere, Branson and Mary watch her new dude race cars. Branson gives her a hard time for not enjoying the speed and spectacle. Uh, did he forget that this is triggering because her last husband died while driving too fast?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In London, Edith interviews a woman who was born in 1892 like herself. They commiserate over being Victorian babies who grew up into modern women. New bestie alert (since it doesn't seem like Virginia Woolf is going to let Edith join the Bloomsbury clique)!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back at the farm, Mr. Mason wants Daisy to come live with him. Seems kind of creepy, but she'll probably do it. Mr. Mason looks at Daisy and then Andy in a way that makes me worry the\u003cem> Downton\u003c/em> writers are going to put these two together. I should start doing eye exercises now, just in case, so that I can eye roll as hard as I want when the time comes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back at Downton, Cora and Robert are baby sitting. Baby Sybbie says something problematic about \"red Indians.\" Kids say the darnedest things, don't they? Robert's side pain is back and he has to sit down. Will the Grim Reaper's scythe be more sharpened than Carson's dinner knife?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the Dowager's house, she receives a tattle-tale letter from Dr. Clarkson about Denker, who is fired on the spot. Spratt's lucky day. Her going away party is going to be so boozy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a pub (!), Mary throws a few back. Her new boy brings up Evelyn Napier (former suitor -- until Mary told him he was boring -- and bestie of the Turk who died in Mary's bed). They make plans to have dinner with him soon, which won't be awkward at all.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the servants' hall, Andy and Thomas have the most boring conversation about pigs and books about pigs. Oscar Wilde would be so disappointed. All the words in the world and they use these.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Edith's single lady flat, she and her date drink fancy cocktails. Her forehead is wearing jewelry. She explains that she's over Downton and dawdling in Mary's wake and wants to be a hipster in London forevermore.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her date is a good listener. He also knows how to pick the right cafes for dinner so Edith green-lights a make out session before they head out. Unlike Mary, Edith tells her date that she doesn't care about his whole I-don't-have-money-and-work-for-a-living thing. Mazel tov, you crazy 1892 babies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the Downton kitchen, Daisy is apparently jealous that Mr. Mason is making new friends because she hasn't been crazy enough this season.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Carson walks in on Daisy, Patmore and Mrs. Hughes chatting and asks Patmore: \"I wonder if you might go through the cooking of [dinner] with Mrs Hughes. It's been a while since she's played with her patty pans, and she's got some catching-up to do.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/01/tumblr_mfvo0utjuk1r6wo6vo1_500.gif\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-20128\">\u003cimg class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-20128\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/01/tumblr_mfvo0utjuk1r6wo6vo1_500.gif\" alt=\"oh hell no gif\" width=\"500\" height=\"200\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mrs. Hughes, this is why annulments are a thing. Time to drop this sexist dud and go back to your blissful celibacy immediately!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back at the Dowager's, Denker is complaining about being fired. Spratt wins me over for the first time with this response: \"How did it happen? Were you drunk?\" Boom! But he's not done!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Denker:\u003c/strong> Am I to blame if I have a very \u003cem>passionate\u003c/em> nature?\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Spratt:\u003c/strong> Any more of that talk and I won't be able to sleep.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Go in, Spratt, go in!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Cora and Robert's room, they both take turns complaining about how annoying this Health Minister dinner is going to be. Then Robert complains about his side pain again, but refuses to skip the meal. Is he going to croak at the dinner table? Is that the only thing that will shut up this dumb hospital debate once and for all? If so, so be it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Downstairs, Thomas hears a crash and investigates. Andy threw a book because he's dyslexic. So his big secret isn't that he's gay, but that he can't read??? Seriously?!?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/01/teresa-table-flip.gif\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-20129\">\u003cimg class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-20129\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/01/teresa-table-flip.gif\" alt=\"teresa-table-flip\" width=\"400\" height=\"250\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thomas promises to help him learn how to read and Andy apologizes for being super homophobic these past few months. Then, Thomas wins an award for Most Melancholic Smile Ever to Grace Lips. And I win an award for Best Continuation of a Recap Despite Wanting to Never Watch \u003cem>Downton\u003c/em> Again.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back at the Dowager's, Denker has decided to (shocker!) blackmail Spratt into convincing the Dowager to unfire her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Elsewhere, Bates and Anna gossip about Mary's love life. Then, Bates says he wishes everyone was as happy as he is. So he means he wishes everyone would skulk in the shadows, grumble sinister things and continuously get away with murder?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Spratt got Denker her job back so we can put this whole blackmailing/bullying thing to bed, right? Not so much:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Spratt:\u003c/strong> Oh, and Miss Denker, I don't want to hear another mention of my unfortunate nephew.\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Denker:\u003c/strong> Oh, well, that rather depends.\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Spratt:\u003c/strong> On what?\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Denker:\u003c/strong> On whether or not I need to mention him again.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This show is exhausting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the rich people hangout room, the Dowager arrives just in time to witness Robert have more side pain. The contractions are getting closer and closer together! Sybil's ghost's revenge for messing up her delivery and killing her in the process?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Dowager has Carson change the seat assignments for dinner. Robert warns that she's switched to \"a very junior seat.\" The Dowager's reply is in French -- \"Il faut reculer pour mieux sauter\" -- but fear not; I have a French minor (*cough*and access to Google Translate*cough*) and can tell you that it means: \"You must step back to jump further.\" Let the games begin!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Health Minister arrives and everyone is trying to grab him. He totally dyes his mustache.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Downstairs, Daisy criticizes the Minister's lack of support for unions and Carson congratulates him for it. Can someone explain to me why the Downton fandom likes Carson so much? His opinions are terrible and he's not funny or charming or fun.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Upstairs, all the old people fight over the hospital and the Health Minister is turned way off. Robert puts an end to the fighting by grabbing his side, standing up AND SPEWING BLOOD ALL OVER THE TABLE AND EVERYONE AND COLLAPSING AND VOMITING ON THE CARPET.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Okay, I thought he was going to die, but damn! Color me shocked. Also color me red 'cause I think some of his spewed blood went through the screen into my gaping face.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once I write \u003cem>Downton\u003c/em> off as a predictable bore, something like this happens! It reminds me of when \u003cem>Mad Men\u003c/em> featured a lawn mower amputation:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/01/01-lawnmower.gif\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-20131\">\u003cimg class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-20131\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/01/01-lawnmower.gif\" alt=\"mad men lawnmower gif\" width=\"437\" height=\"246\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Compare and contrast:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/01/downton-abbey-graphic-bloody-robert.gif\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-20146\">\u003cimg class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-20146\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/01/downton-abbey-graphic-bloody-robert.gif\" alt=\"downton-abbey-graphic-bloody-robert\" width=\"500\" height=\"250\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So I feel kind of bad because I think all the mean things I've written about Robert (albeit valid complaints) may have contributed to him getting an ulcer and that ulcer blowing up all over Cora. Did I do thaaat? (in Urkel voice).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Anyway, Robert is not doing well. He keeps puking up blood. He chokes out a proclamation of love for Cora while everyone screams.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Downstairs, the servants are freaking out too. Carson tells the maids to get coats for Cora and Mary. \"Don't forget Lady Edith.\" Even in times of crisis, the writers can't help but crap all over poor Jan Brady.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/01/tumblr_nib4rjOEKT1r6k6v0o1_400.gif\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-20132\">\u003cimg class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-20132\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/01/tumblr_nib4rjOEKT1r6k6v0o1_400.gif\" alt=\"jan ignore brady gif\" width=\"400\" height=\"228\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Upstairs, the Health Minister tells Cora: \u003cem>Ummm, I think I'm gonna go... \u003c/em>Then Cora and the Dowager argue over the hospital some more because this seems like a good time for that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Dowager brings up the secret of Marigold and Mary overhears and realizes \u003cem>Wait a second...Edith's 9 month vacation and the random mute baby that hangs out with my son all day just might have something to do with each other! \u003c/em>By George, I think she's got it! (Took her long enough).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The medics arrive and cart dazed, confused and blood-soaked Robert off. Everyone follows...except for Branson who is straight up chilling and doesn't seem to be bothered one bit as he leisurely gossips with the Health Minister. Looks like I'm not the only one who holds a grudge against Robert for killing Sybil.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some time later, the servants are all hanging out downstairs waiting for news. Andy is not reading.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Carson gets a phone call and delivers the news: Robert had surgery and is going to be fine. Yay, I guess.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Upstairs, Mary and Edith get back from the hospital. They're finally alone and no one is around to stop them from finally having a duel once and for all, but enough blood has been shed this evening. Plus, Mary's too weirded out by Edith being someone's mom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After Edith goes to bed, Branson rolls up wearing a casual robe because he's been kicking back with zero worries since Robert spewed his insides all over the mansion. Mary tells him that they should take over all control from her dad so he doesn't worry and get another ulcer. Branson rightfully proclaims this The Age of Queen Mary.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/01/tumblr_myzjm4NVyZ1s5lf2ro1_500.gif\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-20137\">\u003cimg class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-20137\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/01/tumblr_myzjm4NVyZ1s5lf2ro1_500.gif\" alt=\"beyonce bow down gif\" width=\"500\" height=\"246\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And scene!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>After every episode, it's only right to reward characters who've impressed and diss the ones that haven't, so here goes:\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003cstrong>PIECE OF COAL:\u003c/strong>\u003c/em>\u003cstrong> Carson: \u003c/strong>Make your own F-ing dinner.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003cstrong>HONORABLE MENTION: \u003c/strong>\u003c/em>\u003cstrong>Mary: \u003c/strong>She was very chill about hanging out at a dirty pub.
