I’m also passionate about making Bay Area history and culture more accessible to a broad public. • I’ve been a journalist for most of my life, starting in high school with The Franklin Press in Los Angeles, where I grew up. While earning my first degree in English at UC Berkeley, I got my start in public radio at KALX-FM. After completing a second degree in journalism at Cal, I landed my first professional job at Marketplace, then moved on to KPCC (now LAist), and then KQED, where I hosted The California Report for more than seven years. • My reporting has appeared on NPR, The World, WBUR’s \u003ci>Here & Now\u003c/i>, and the BBC. I also guest host for KQED’s \u003ci>Forum\u003c/i>, as well as the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. • I speak periodically on media, democracy and technology issues, and do voiceover work for documentaries and educational video projects. • Outside of the studio, you'll find me hiking Bay Area trails and whipping up Insta-ready meals in my kitchen. • I do not accept gifts, money, or favors from anyone connected to my reporting, I don't pay people for information, and I do not support or donate to political causes. • I strive to treat the people I report on with fairness, honesty, and respect. I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

Not because I was interviewing William Shatner the next day—she knows I’ve interviewed hundreds of people from all walks of life—but because of something about the man himself. She threw her head back, held her arms up, and said, as if it were the only question anyone would want William Shatner to answer: “I’d just want to know when he realized that the joke’s on him.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That sounds harsh.

This is true of any celebrity in varying degrees, from David Bowie’s shapeshifting identities to every single carefully constructed moment in Kim Kardashian’s day, but Shatner’s case is particularly acute. Some people would call Shatner a caricature of himself, but I can’t go that far. Not until I can ask about it, at least. How do you ask someone point-blank if they’re a caricature of themselves?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The next day, five minutes before Shatner is about to call my house, I decide that’s exactly what I’ll do. I turn it over in my mind for a while. Then the phone rings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Hello Gabe!” Shatner says, deftly using my first name. (He \u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/bay-area-living/ci_29426779/william-shatner-beams-shatners-world-into-san-francisco\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">does this\u003c/a>.) “What a pleasure to speak with you.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I start with the basics. The whole reason Shatner’s doing this interview is \u003cem>Shatner’s World\u003c/em>, his one-man show that’s coming to the Warfield Theater in San Francisco (Saturday, Jan. 30; $39.50–$180; \u003ca href=\"http://www.thewarfieldtheatre.com/events/detail/280113\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">details here\u003c/a>). I ask how hard it is to fit everything he’s done in his life and career into a two-hour show.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Let me sort of straighten that out a little bit,” he says. “The one-man show, rather than being about my career or anything like that, is about the affirmation of life. Saying yes to life. Saying yes to all the wonderful things that life has, and even if they’re not wonderful, it’s part of living. So grief, and hatred, and love, and passion, those are all part of the skein of humanity, and we’re here for a very short time, and we don’t know what’s on either end. So you’d better appreciate what’s going on here by living in the moment.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I quickly realize that this is not going to be an ordinary interview.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11277358\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11277358\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/01/ShatnerNimoyDragonCon.jpg\" alt=\"William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy at Dragon Con, 2009.\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/01/ShatnerNimoyDragonCon.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/01/ShatnerNimoyDragonCon-400x267.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/01/ShatnerNimoyDragonCon-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy at Dragon Con, 2009. \u003ccite>(Wikimedia Commons)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The first thing I learn\u003c/strong> is that Shatner wants to be a rapper. Or a heavy metal singer. He’s recorded a handful of albums, spanning his \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AB3uVARNhmM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">dramatic rendering of “Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds”\u003c/a> in the 1960s to his \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ainyK6fXku0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">singular version of Pulp’s “Common People”\u003c/a> in the aughts, and when I ask if he keeps up with new music he recalls that it took a while to get accustomed to rock ‘n’ roll. “Then I began, years later, to \u003cem>perform\u003c/em> rock ‘n’ roll,” he says, “and I realized it’s all about passion! It’s all about energy! It’s all about excitement! I fell in love with it. So the music today, the metallic rock, and the rapping, I… don’t quite get. But having learned from rock ‘n’ roll, I realize there’s \u003cem>something\u003c/em> going on here that I don’t quite understand, that I do want to understand, and that I do want to be able to do before it’s all over.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Before it’s all over\u003c/em>. The words ring with mortality. I bring up Leonard Nimoy, and Shatner doesn’t beat around the bush: “The grieving process has been very hard,” he says. He likens Nimoy’s death last year to the \u003ca href=\"http://articles.latimes.com/1999/aug/11/local/me-64692\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">death of his third wife\u003c/a>, Nerine, whom he married with Nimoy as his best man. As he’s on the phone with me, he says, he’s resting his hand on a photograph of his recently deceased dog, another hard loss. “But with Leonard,” he says, “we were so close, and so attuned to each other, and shared so many things that only \u003cem>we\u003c/em> went through. He was always the person I could say, ‘Remember when?…’ to. He could remind me of things we’d done that I’d completely forgotten. And now I don’t have that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This isn’t the Shatner that I know from \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hBNL9xx3Ie0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">television commercials\u003c/a>. It’s not the Shatner that \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nttXA8jYwmU\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">people call\u003c/a> “the king of overacting for no apparent reason.” And yet he’s still doing it all—the pauses, the inflections, the whole schtick. But I’m starting to think it isn’t a schtick.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11277356\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 600px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11277356\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/01/SHatnerKirk.jpg\" alt=\"William Shatner as Captain James T.

I’m at a point now where I’m trying to strip away the layers that some people call ‘Shatner-esque’—I don’t know what they mean by that term—and to offer a pure version of myself. That’s the most honest thing I can do. I’m trying to do less of everything, in fact. To own less of everything, to be less of everything.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It sounds very zen, I say.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s funny you ask that,” he says, “because yes, I do feel like I’m entering that phase, where that’s important. The ability to be one with something. I think of it often, as a horseman, and how in riding a horse, you’re really becoming one with the horse, united in your purpose and destination.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What about regrets? Does he have any regrets? His answer, again, is pure zen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m at a point now where any regrets—if you’re talking about missteps, or mistakes—anything like that has made me who I am. And I’m at a very good place in my life, and at my age, too, so I wouldn’t go back and do anything again, no. If there’s anything I regret or feel bad about, it’s when I’ve learned later that I’ve hurt someone, often inadvertently.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Again, he’s doing the thing. The Shatner thing. There’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dxTxX35aqZA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">a 2004 interview\u003c/a> with Shatner where an audience member begins his question by saying, “Recently you seem to have taken to a good deal of self-parody”—and Shatner cuts him off, saying, “\u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dxTxX35aqZA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">No, that’s real, actually\u003c/a>.” It gets a laugh.

Not because I was interviewing William Shatner the next day—she knows I’ve interviewed hundreds of people from all walks of life—but because of something about the man himself. She threw her head back, held her arms up, and said, as if it were the only question anyone would want William Shatner to answer: “I’d just want to know when he realized that the joke’s on him.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That sounds harsh. I knew what she meant, though. You know what she meant.

This is true of any celebrity in varying degrees, from David Bowie’s shapeshifting identities to every single carefully constructed moment in Kim Kardashian’s day, but Shatner’s case is particularly acute. Some people would call Shatner a caricature of himself, but I can’t go that far. Not until I can ask about it, at least. How do you ask someone point-blank if they’re a caricature of themselves?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

I turn it over in my mind for a while. Then the phone rings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Hello Gabe!” Shatner says, deftly using my first name. (He \u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/bay-area-living/ci_29426779/william-shatner-beams-shatners-world-into-san-francisco\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">does this\u003c/a>.) “What a pleasure to speak with you.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I start with the basics. The whole reason Shatner’s doing this interview is \u003cem>Shatner’s World\u003c/em>, his one-man show that’s coming to the Warfield Theater in San Francisco (Saturday, Jan. 30; $39.50–$180; \u003ca href=\"http://www.thewarfieldtheatre.com/events/detail/280113\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">details here\u003c/a>). I ask how hard it is to fit everything he’s done in his life and career into a two-hour show.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Let me sort of straighten that out a little bit,” he says. “The one-man show, rather than being about my career or anything like that, is about the affirmation of life. Saying yes to life. Saying yes to all the wonderful things that life has, and even if they’re not wonderful, it’s part of living. So grief, and hatred, and love, and passion, those are all part of the skein of humanity, and we’re here for a very short time, and we don’t know what’s on either end. So you’d better appreciate what’s going on here by living in the moment.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I quickly realize that this is not going to be an ordinary interview.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11277358\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11277358\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/01/ShatnerNimoyDragonCon.jpg\" alt=\"William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy at Dragon Con, 2009.\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/01/ShatnerNimoyDragonCon.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/01/ShatnerNimoyDragonCon-400x267.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/01/ShatnerNimoyDragonCon-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy at Dragon Con, 2009. \u003ccite>(Wikimedia Commons)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The first thing I learn\u003c/strong> is that Shatner wants to be a rapper. Or a heavy metal singer. He’s recorded a handful of albums, spanning his \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AB3uVARNhmM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">dramatic rendering of “Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds”\u003c/a> in the 1960s to his \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ainyK6fXku0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">singular version of Pulp’s “Common People”\u003c/a> in the aughts, and when I ask if he keeps up with new music he recalls that it took a while to get accustomed to rock ‘n’ roll. “Then I began, years later, to \u003cem>perform\u003c/em> rock ‘n’ roll,” he says, “and I realized it’s all about passion! It’s all about energy! It’s all about excitement! I fell in love with it. So the music today, the metallic rock, and the rapping, I… don’t quite get. But having learned from rock ‘n’ roll, I realize there’s \u003cem>something\u003c/em> going on here that I don’t quite understand, that I do want to understand, and that I do want to be able to do before it’s all over.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Before it’s all over\u003c/em>. The words ring with mortality. I bring up Leonard Nimoy, and Shatner doesn’t beat around the bush: “The grieving process has been very hard,” he says. He likens Nimoy’s death last year to the \u003ca href=\"http://articles.latimes.com/1999/aug/11/local/me-64692\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">death of his third wife\u003c/a>, Nerine, whom he married with Nimoy as his best man. As he’s on the phone with me, he says, he’s resting his hand on a photograph of his recently deceased dog, another hard loss. “But with Leonard,” he says, “we were so close, and so attuned to each other, and shared so many things that only \u003cem>we\u003c/em> went through. He was always the person I could say, ‘Remember when?…’ to. He could remind me of things we’d done that I’d completely forgotten. And now I don’t have that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This isn’t the Shatner that I know from \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hBNL9xx3Ie0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">television commercials\u003c/a>. It’s not the Shatner that \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nttXA8jYwmU\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">people call\u003c/a> “the king of overacting for no apparent reason.” And yet he’s still doing it all—the pauses, the inflections, the whole schtick. But I’m starting to think it isn’t a schtick.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11277356\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 600px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11277356\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/01/SHatnerKirk.jpg\" alt=\"William Shatner as Captain James T.

Kirk on ‘Star Trek.’\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>So I just ask it.\u003c/strong> As someone whose reputation certainly precedes him, who people want to be “on” all the time, how does it feel to be William Shatner, the icon, someone who’s in constant demand to portray a Shatner-esque version of himself?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I know what you mean,” he says, as I quietly exhale in relief, “and I’m trying to do less of that. I’m at a point now where I’m trying to strip away the layers that some people call ‘Shatner-esque’—I don’t know what they mean by that term—and to offer a pure version of myself. That’s the most honest thing I can do. I’m trying to do less of everything, in fact. To own less of everything, to be less of everything.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It sounds very zen, I say.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s funny you ask that,” he says, “because yes, I do feel like I’m entering that phase, where that’s important. The ability to be one with something. I think of it often, as a horseman, and how in riding a horse, you’re really becoming one with the horse, united in your purpose and destination.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What about regrets? Does he have any regrets? His answer, again, is pure zen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m at a point now where any regrets—if you’re talking about missteps, or mistakes—anything like that has made me who I am. And I’m at a very good place in my life, and at my age, too, so I wouldn’t go back and do anything again, no. If there’s anything I regret or feel bad about, it’s when I’ve learned later that I’ve hurt someone, often inadvertently.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Again, he’s doing the thing. The Shatner thing. There’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dxTxX35aqZA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">a 2004 interview\u003c/a> with Shatner where an audience member begins his question by saying, “Recently you seem to have taken to a good deal of self-parody”—and Shatner cuts him off, saying, “\u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dxTxX35aqZA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">No, that’s real, actually\u003c/a>.” It gets a laugh. But I don’t think he was joking.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>See—Shatner’s been Shatner for so long now that he and his Shatner-esque self are one. And as he talks to me, I start to realize how terrible this must be for him. Here he is on the phone spilling his heart about the death of his best friend and his life’s regrets and his quest to offer a pure version of himself, and just because his timbre is rising and falling and he’s making those dramatic pauses, the general public’s knee-jerk reaction is: \u003cem>Oh, that wacky Priceline negotiator, so overly dramatic, always trying to go where no man has gone before.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11276542\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1100px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11276542\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/01/William-Shatner-big.jpg\" alt='William Shatner: \"I know nothing.\"' width=\"1100\" height=\"660\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/01/William-Shatner-big.jpg 1100w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/01/William-Shatner-big-400x240.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/01/William-Shatner-big-800x480.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/01/William-Shatner-big-768x461.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/01/William-Shatner-big-960x576.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1100px) 100vw, 1100px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">William Shatner: “I know nothing.”\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Hence, take with you,\u003c/strong> if you will, the idea that William Shatner is a man trapped in the world’s perception of him.

The idea for it came about last year when the’s gallery owner, Julie Jenkins, visited Levi’s Stadium and was “totally floored” by the art collection on the upper decks, according to Bridget McMahon, the gallery’s director. The work had been collected and installed in the stadium by a curatorial agency called \u003ca href=\"http://www.sportart.net/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sports & the Arts\u003c/a>, who commissioned more than 100 pieces of art for the stadium that celebrated the 49ers specifically, and also a general love of the game.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So we partnered with Sports & the Arts,” McMahon says, “and had some of their artists make some pieces in that same vein for us.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The JCO’s Place exhibit features six artists whose work is up at the stadium. About half the pieces are replicas of what’s in Levi’s, including a California flag collage made with 49ers memorabilia by artist \u003ca href=\"http://derekgores.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Derek Gores\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11267638\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11267638 size-medium\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/01/RS18190_TheCatch-qut-800x454.jpg\" alt=\"Nick Brown • Dreamcatcher • 24 X 42 • Oil on Panel\" width=\"800\" height=\"454\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/01/RS18190_TheCatch-qut-800x454.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/01/RS18190_TheCatch-qut-400x227.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/01/RS18190_TheCatch-qut-768x436.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/01/RS18190_TheCatch-qut.jpg 931w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Nick Brown • Dreamcatcher • 24 X 42 • Oil on Panel \u003ccite>(Courtesy JCO's Place)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Local artists are featured prominently, including \u003ca href=\"http://www.gordonsmedt.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Gordon Smedt\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"http://www.milton510.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Milton Bowens\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"http://www.rwagnerart.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Russ Wagner\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://nickbrownart.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Nick Brown\u003c/a>.

When JCO called, that moment was the first idea that came to mind.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown wanted to evoke the simplicity of a pickup game, but there was nothing slap dash about the painting. He watched videos of the play “over and over and over.” He pressed family members who played football into posing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For the landscape, Brown picked a spot he’s photographed repeatedly while driving north of the Grapevine on Interstate 5, heightening the colors to approximate the green of the after a rain has soaked the hills.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown and his parents got meet the former wide receiver at a January 14 reception at JCO’s introducing the exhibit. “It was everything and more than I could have dreamed of,” says Brown. “It was kind of surreal.” Clark even drew out the play on the back of the painting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[soundcloud url=”https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/243825916″ params=”color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false” width=”100%” height=’166′ iframe=”true” /]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McMahon says she’s spotted some local high school football players wandering through the gallery in recent days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We designed this exhibition to engage everyone from the casual football fan to the hardcore football aficionado, from the art lover to the art collector,” McMahon says. “It’s been interesting to have people come in who might not necessarily stop into an art gallery.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The assumption that you have about football art – or sports art in general – is that it’s going to be totally cheesy, right?” McMahon says. “But you have artists making innovative and interesting works that really celebrate the game by highlighting some aspects of it that you don’t typically see.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The exhibit continues through – when else?

So a South Bay art gallery is capitalizing on the excitement over the “big game” to feature artists whose work hangs at Levi’s Stadium, where this year’s Super Bowl will be hosted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>JCO’s Place in Los Gatos opened the new exhibition called \u003ca href=\"http://www.jcosplace.com/nfl.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cem>Art of the NFL\u003c/em>\u003c/a>, on Jan. 12. The idea for it came about last year when the’s gallery owner, Julie Jenkins, visited Levi’s Stadium and was “totally floored” by the art collection on the upper decks, according to Bridget McMahon, the gallery’s director. The work had been collected and installed in the stadium by a curatorial agency called \u003ca href=\"http://www.sportart.net/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sports & the Arts\u003c/a>, who commissioned more than 100 pieces of art for the stadium that celebrated the 49ers specifically, and also a general love of the game.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So we partnered with Sports & the Arts,” McMahon says, “and had some of their artists make some pieces in that same vein for us.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The JCO’s Place exhibit features six artists whose work is up at the stadium. About half the pieces are replicas of what’s in Levi’s, including a California flag collage made with 49ers memorabilia by artist \u003ca href=\"http://derekgores.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Derek Gores\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11267638\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11267638 size-medium\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/01/RS18190_TheCatch-qut-800x454.jpg\" alt=\"Nick Brown • Dreamcatcher • 24 X 42 • Oil on Panel\" width=\"800\" height=\"454\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/01/RS18190_TheCatch-qut-800x454.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/01/RS18190_TheCatch-qut-400x227.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/01/RS18190_TheCatch-qut-768x436.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/01/RS18190_TheCatch-qut.jpg 931w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Nick Brown • Dreamcatcher • 24 X 42 • Oil on Panel \u003ccite>(Courtesy JCO's Place)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Local artists are featured prominently, including \u003ca href=\"http://www.gordonsmedt.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Gordon Smedt\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"http://www.milton510.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Milton Bowens\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"http://www.rwagnerart.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Russ Wagner\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://nickbrownart.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Nick Brown\u003c/a>.

And unlike any of the other former candidates’ websites we’ve visited, he shares the website with his wife; her biography and books appearing alongside his. Actually, it’s precisely Callista’s Gingrich's books that caught our attention. Apparently we’ve been missing out on a children’s book series, the latest of which hit shelves in time for Christmas 2015; the cover depicts the protagonist, a little elephant of course, celebrating Christmas in front of the White House. And since the 2012 election, Newt’s been busy: he has a section dedicated to his opinions on the happenings of U.S. politics, but also a link to Newt University, and photos…of family vacations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.caintv.com/\">Herman Cain\u003c/a>: We can’t get over the section title “news nuggets.” He looks like he’s been busy since 2012 with his radio program, which for the second time on our quest, we’ve found costs money, $6.99 -- but you can stream the latest show for free. We just hope the radio program has a nugget section.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.mittromney.com/\">Mitt Romney\u003c/a>: The only option of his page is to sign up for a e-newsletter -- that’s it. No information on what he’s doing these days, which made us wonder, what is he doing? There was the \u003cem>Washington Post\u003c/em> article in early 2015 that stated he was \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2015/01/10/what-the-heck-is-mitt-romney-doing/\">thinking about running again\u003c/a>, but that’s not the case. So, we’re still unsure of how he fills his days. Fortunately, we took a look at another former presidential candidate’s website, John McCain, to find out Romney was at McCain’s holiday party on Dec. 12. Must've been a rager.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.fredkarger.com/\">Fred Karger\u003c/a>: Honestly, we don’t remember Fred Karger’s campaign for the presidency in 2012, but we had to include him on this list for being the only recent candidate to formally tie up his website when his campaign ended. It looks like his final post -- with an illustration of a fat woman singing -- was that. A perfect time capsule of midway through the 2012 race, should you ever need one of those.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With the primary elections coming up, time will tell what becomes of the 2016 candidates' websites. Meanwhile, \u003ca href=\"https://www.inverse.com/article/5868-why-are-presidential-campaign-websites-getting-worse\">Inverse\u003c/a> recently published an article arguing that candidates’ websites are actually getting worse -- which may just lead to some internet gems for future generations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\n",

Although his site makes no mention of potatoes, the homepage has remained untouched for at least a decade, according to images on the Internet Archive site.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>John Edwards: It’s as though he never existed, and his 2004 and 2008 campaign sites has disappeared into the abyss (\u003ca href=\"http://www.4president.us/2008websites.htm#prettyPhoto\">except in screengrabs\u003c/a>, thanks 4president.us). Other than those few images, the web has been pretty much scrubbed of any of his presidential pursuits and any hope he had for the White House -- before everyone found out what was really going on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-20021\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2015/12/XmasInAmericaStore__55243.1448647781.480.480.jpg\" alt=\"XmasInAmericaStore__55243.1448647781.480.480\" width=\"391\" height=\"480\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.gingrichproductions.com/\">Newt Gingrich\u003c/a>: First off, we should note that Gingrich’s site is called “Gingrich Productions,” which is pretty fitting, given there’s media and a store with a featured products section. And unlike any of the other former candidates’ websites we’ve visited, he shares the website with his wife; her biography and books appearing alongside his. Actually, it’s precisely Callista’s Gingrich's books that caught our attention. Apparently we’ve been missing out on a children’s book series, the latest of which hit shelves in time for Christmas 2015; the cover depicts the protagonist, a little elephant of course, celebrating Christmas in front of the White House. And since the 2012 election, Newt’s been busy: he has a section dedicated to his opinions on the happenings of U.S. politics, but also a link to Newt University, and photos…of family vacations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.caintv.com/\">Herman Cain\u003c/a>: We can’t get over the section title “news nuggets.” He looks like he’s been busy since 2012 with his radio program, which for the second time on our quest, we’ve found costs money, $6.99 -- but you can stream the latest show for free. We just hope the radio program has a nugget section.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.mittromney.com/\">Mitt Romney\u003c/a>: The only option of his page is to sign up for a e-newsletter -- that’s it. No information on what he’s doing these days, which made us wonder, what is he doing? There was the \u003cem>Washington Post\u003c/em> article in early 2015 that stated he was \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2015/01/10/what-the-heck-is-mitt-romney-doing/\">thinking about running again\u003c/a>, but that’s not the case. So, we’re still unsure of how he fills his days. Fortunately, we took a look at another former presidential candidate’s website, John McCain, to find out Romney was at McCain’s holiday party on Dec. 12. Must've been a rager.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.fredkarger.com/\">Fred Karger\u003c/a>: Honestly, we don’t remember Fred Karger’s campaign for the presidency in 2012, but we had to include him on this list for being the only recent candidate to formally tie up his website when his campaign ended. It looks like his final post -- with an illustration of a fat woman singing -- was that. A perfect time capsule of midway through the 2012 race, should you ever need one of those.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With the primary elections coming up, time will tell what becomes of the 2016 candidates' websites. Meanwhile, \u003ca href=\"https://www.inverse.com/article/5868-why-are-presidential-campaign-websites-getting-worse\">Inverse\u003c/a> recently published an article arguing that candidates’ websites are actually getting worse -- which may just lead to some internet gems for future generations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

"content": "\u003cp>It's been a week since \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/downton-abbey-season-6-episode-3-recap-chapel-of-love-wedding\" target=\"_blank\">the Carsons got Miss Colombia'd\u003c/a> at their own wedding reception by the return of prodigal son Branson and his cute offspring. Is that incident the new thing Mrs. Hughes will spend all her time complaining about? Did she and Mr. Carson finally get it on? Will baby Sybbie and her cousins get a spin-off show? Will Thomas finally get to make out with someone? All (or none) of these questions will be answered on tonight's episode! Let's do this!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The show opens with Branson gazing upon Downton's ridiculously expansive grounds. He's basically the Powerball winner of 1925. What dumb luck!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back indoors, Branson tells the family about how much America sucks. He also is concerned he stole the Carsons' thunder. Uh, ya think?! Robert, always the voice of un-reason, is like \u003cem>Oh, whatever, you made the wedding less boring. I'm sure they loved it.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because it's been approximately 22 seconds since Mary and Edith got into a fight, Edith brings up the fact that Mary will probably have to give up being a feminist ball-busting Agent, now that Branson is back. Branson is like, \u003cem>I'm still jet lagged, can we not? \u003c/em>Mary makes a mental note to sharpen her switchblade.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The gang talks about how lame the Carsons' honeymoon destination is (because poor people hang out there) before changing the topic to Aunt Rosamund, who's coming to town to meddle in the hospital drama. Get ready for some geriatric fireworks!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An aside: Cora never eats breakfast with her family. Should we be concerned? Eating disorder? Is she the one who takes care of the kids off screen? Is she keeping watch over her coats to make sure no servants touch them with their grimy little fingers? Or does she just hate everyone too much to sit next to them at this point?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Downstairs, the Sergeant is looking for Ms. Baxter. Seriously, why is everyone in this house not better at covering up their crimes? Anna and Bates are excited it's not them for once.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thomas is annoyed at Mrs. Patmore for receiving the visitor 'cause that's kind of his gig. Mr. Carson is still off naked somewhere with Mrs. Hughes so Patmore steps in as Thomas' resident bully. \u003cem>You're totally going to get fired, nanny nanny boo boo! \u003c/em>Thomas needs an \"It Gets Better\" campaign so badly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Upstairs, Cora is drinking tea in bed (so maybe she \u003cem>is\u003c/em> anorexic, but probably just lazy). She's complaining to Baxter about how the Dowager Countess is bringing some friend as backup for their upcoming brawl at dinner. Hey, life could be worse, Cora; Baxter could ask to borrow something. We know how you feel about that. But anyway, still all this hot and bother over this dumb hospital stuff?? Just merge! Or don't! Who cares!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Elsewhere, Branson tells Mary he's a capitalist now and wants his life to be more than just Downton. Um, okay, then why did you move back? Mary is supportive with a single caveat: no more Miss Buntings (the \u003ca href=\"http://45.media.tumblr.com/26db7deea9169596d334eaaf78672b02/tumblr_nhpo74A0Zk1rjtbk7o4_500.gif\" target=\"_blank\">annoying, self-righteous teacher\u003c/a> from last season, if you don't remember). Here, here!!!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Downstairs, the Sergeant spills the latest criminal intrigue: he wants Baxter to testify against a purported \"handsome devil\" who makes women steal for him and then take the fall, while he walks free. He's the reason Baxter was in jail that one time. Baxter is super spooked and doesn't want to get involved. Molesley throws out a platitude: \"All that's needed for evil to triumph is that good men do nothing.\" Baxter shoots him a withering \u003cem>You're so bloody simple!\u003c/em> look and storms out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Upstairs, Cora is annoyed because the Dowager's plus one wants to bring a plus one. It's a man so I bet you it's a new love interest for Mary because this show is not progressive enough to leave her as a badass single woman.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Mary's room, she and Anna talk about some new maids who aren't as cool as past maids. Then, talk turns to how Anna is thickening up with pregnancy. Bates assumes she's just fat because she likes pie. Then, Bates bursts in and completely ruins the vibe, which is what he does best.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Across town, the Dowager and her friend talk about the hospital and I stare off into space while humming to myself until the scene is over.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back at Downton, Thomas is in charge and everyone has to do that annoying stand-up-really-suddenly-and-scrape-the-chair-against-the-floor thing in deference. Thomas off-handedly mentions something about properties on the estate and Daisy starts droning on about how excited she is that her father-in-law is getting the Drews' farm. When someone finally breaks it to her that she's been hallucinating this whole time, she gets very angry and clutches a water pitcher really hard. And because no scene with Thomas is complete without cute Andy spurning his advances, that happens too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On a road surrounded by sheep, Edith is driving (yes! driving!) her aunt Rosamund. The car has a huge steering wheel. Rosamund tells Edith about this funky college for clever, but poor girls. She's a trustee and thinks Edith should be one too because there's a hot dude who works there and he's around Edith's age. First the newspaper helper and now this guy? When it rains, it pours! Get it, Edith!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back at the house, Molesley stops Cora on the stairs to talk about Baxter. Has he not gotten the memo? Cora is NOT IN THE MOOD to hear servant sob stories this season or let anyone borrow or touch her things, geez!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Downstairs, Daisy tries to murder potatoes with a spoon and then rants about how let down she is that Cora lied to her. Mrs. Patmore brings things back to reality and emphasizes that Daisy fabricated this whole thing and is maybe addicted to psychedelic shrooms or something? Daisy continues to murder the innocent potatoes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Upstairs, the visitors arrive and are announced. Mary is shocked to find that the Dowager's plus one's plus one is that sexy guy she went hunting with during last season's finale. Didn't I tell you?? They're totally going to get married because anything else wouldn't be predictable enough.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Branson talks to Mary's future husband about cars and doesn't realize that this is an A and B conversation and he should C his way out of it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By the fireplace, the Dowager grills her friend about her nephew's prospects. 40 men would have to die before he becomes an Earl. Ouch. Too bad the Titanic is already underwater; could've treated all 40 of them to a cruise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Robert calls his mom and her friend out for being snobs. Glass houses, dude, glass houses. Then the Dowager puts her son in his place and wins my heart for the 7000th time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003cstrong>Robert:\u003c/strong>\u003c/em> No one has sharper eyes than a loving son.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003cem>The Dowager:\u003c/em>\u003c/strong> You read that somewhere.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003cem>Robert:\u003c/em>\u003c/strong> Why do you never think I can make anything up?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because you suck at business, aren't very bright and helped kill Sybil. That's why!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Downstairs, Anna is having a contraction or something.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the dining room, the old people fight over the usual, while Mary becomes the first person to ever flirt using the words \"guinea pigs.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After dinner, it's Mary's future husband's turn to flirt. \"Telephone me. We'll have lunch or a drink.........or something.\" Mmmhmmmmm.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/01/732978471.gif\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-20013\">\u003cimg class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-20013\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/01/732978471.gif\" alt=\"oprah mmhm gif\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A few yards away, Cora and some others discuss how embarrassing all the fuss over the hospital is. This is true, but what's even more embarrassing is that the\u003cem> Downton\u003c/em> writers are wasting the show's final episodes on such a dull storyline.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After everyone leaves, Robert clutches his side. This happened in the last episode, but I didn't mention it because I don't care about Robert. But yeah, I guess he's going to die. We all know dogs go to heaven, so Isis is accounted for. Will Robert be reunited with her or travel somewhere a bit warmer?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Outside, Baxter and Thomas are both having existential crises like they're sophomore English majors high for the first time. Thomas wishes he was popular and straight like Baxter. Baxter wishes she was like Thomas (minus the gay part).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You don't care what people say, while I tremble at the mere idea of public ridicule.\" Scratch \"blogger\" from the list of pursuits Baxter might entertain after Robert dies and the family sells Downton. Thomas explains that he actually does care what people say and walks off like this:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/01/j6ZBj.gif\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-20005\">\u003cimg class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-20005\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/01/j6ZBj.gif\" alt=\"george michael walk gif\" width=\"320\" height=\"180\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Later, the Sergeant is back to convince Baxter to testify. She's like, \u003cem>Pass!\u003c/em> Then he guilt trips her by bringing up other victims who are now prostitutes or dead. Baxter changes her tune to \u003cem>Ugh, fiiiine.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The treasurer of the funky girls school arrives at Downton with his wife (sorry, Edith), who happens to be Gwen, a maid from season 1! She greets her former bestie Anna, but snubs Thomas (bad move).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now that she has money, she's trying to downplay her time as a maid by not mentioning it at all. The rich people assemble to grill Gwen about who she is and why she came up with the school idea.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003cem>Gwen:\u003c/em>\u003c/strong> You see, I never had any higher education and so...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003cstrong>Mary:\u003c/strong>\u003c/em> Who did? All we were taught was French, prejudice and dance steps.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I never thought I'd say this, but Mary is quickly becoming my favorite (again, sorry, Edith).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Downstairs, Daisy predicts that no one will recognize Gwen because \"they don't look us in the face.\" Mrs. Patmore rewards her right answer by calling her Karl Marx and ordering her to get back to work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Upstairs, Branson bonds with Gwen over marrying up and out of facelessness. Thomas looks on, full of dejected rage (which would totally be the name of his first fragrance, if he was a pop star).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After sitting down to dinner, Gwen preaches about educating women. Everyone laughs about how they wish Carson was present to say sexist things. Thomas sees his chance: \"You recall Mr Carson, madam, surely?\" Gwen's cover is blown to bits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gwen explains how Sybil helped her get a secretary job. Everyone mournfully thinks about how good the show was before Robert killed Sybil with his bad decision making skills.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After dinner, Gwen goes downstairs to hang with her former coworkers. Daisy jumps out of nowhere in front of Branson and plays her favorite broken record: MY FATHER-IN-LAW! IT'S NOT FAIR! MY DEAD HUSBAND WHO I DIDN'T EVEN LIKE! RICH PEOPLE SUCK! Branson is like\u003cem> Um, woah. I'll see what I can do. Now please stop talking.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A few paces away, Robert corners Thomas and makes him feel bad about being evil sometimes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Upstairs, Mary talks to Anna about how remembering Sybil makes her reevaluate being a mean snob all the time. All the talk of Sybil brings back the ghost of pregnancy problems past and Anna has a crazy cramp. They decide to hightail it to the London doctor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Outside, Bates asks 1001 questions, including \"So you're not hiding anything?\" Before he can question her about being in love with someone else, like he did last episode, Mary and Anna get in the car and drive off. Bates watches them go and thinks solemnly, \u003cem>Damn it, I have to kill again.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back inside, Bates continues being weird:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003cem>Andy:\u003c/em> \u003c/strong>What's Lady Mary's emergency?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003cem>Baxter:\u003c/em>\u003c/strong> It's none of our business.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003cem>Bates:\u003c/em> \u003c/strong>Very true, Miss Baxter. For once I agree with you.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Um, why the 'tude with teary-eyed puppy Baxter? What has she ever done?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then Bates continues attacking people by asking \u003cem>Ugh, Daisy, what exactly is your problem?\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Daisy explains that she's \"had enough\" and will confront Cora for \"cheating\" her father-in-law out of the farm. She slams spoons next to place settings really hard so everyone knows she means business.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Upstairs, Cora convinces everyone to give the farm to Daisy's father-in-law because it's what Sybil would do (also, this is the only way to get Daisy to stop stalking her).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Downstairs, everyone tells Daisy what she's about to do is social suicide. Daisy doesn't give a you-know-what, yanks off her apron and storms upstairs to execute Cora or whatever.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Upstairs, Cora runs into Daisy and is like \u003cem>Really, girl?\u003c/em> Daisy plays her broken record yet again. I'M UPSET! Yeah, we know.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Robert interrupts and tells Daisy to make sure to tell her father-in-law the good news. Daisy makes this face and then runs downstairs:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/01/99603862.gif\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-20009\">\u003cimg class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-20009\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/01/99603862.gif\" alt=\"miss jay shocked gif antm\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Robert comments on how weird Daisy is and then grabs his side again. One step closer to the grave.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In London, the doctor announces that he prevented Anna's miscarriage. Mary celebrates by making plans to go on a date with her future husband.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back at Downton, Robert tells Thomas how excited he is that Carson is coming back to fire him. Maybe the pain in Robert's side is a side effect of whatever poison Thomas is slipping into his tea? When Robert keels over, Thomas will do a tap routine over his corpse, while singing \"He Had It Coming.\" Now\u003cem> that\u003c/em> would be a proper end to this series!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back in London, Mary tells her future husband that she works, despite her ovaries. He doesn't set himself on fire and run around the room engulfed in flames so that's a plus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the farm that used to belong to Marigold's kidnapper, Daisy's father-in-law tells her how excited he is to know where he will \"lay his bones.\" Yay?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back at Downton, Bates grills Anna, who has just returned. She finally tells him, \u003cem>Hey, stop brainstorming ways to kill me. I'm not cheating, just pregnant, silly! \u003c/em>Bates is moderately pleased.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Carsons return and everyone applauds them for being brave enough to have sex with each other.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Upstairs, all the rich people plan to take a field trip to the servants' hall to welcome the newlyweds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003cem>The Dowager:\u003c/em>\u003c/strong> I haven't been into the kitchens for at least 20 years!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003cem>Isobel:\u003c/em> \u003c/strong>Have you got your passport?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Isn't it fun when they're not talking about that boring hospital?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Downstairs, the Dowager is like \u003cem>Ew.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Edith announces that she plans to hire a female co-editor for the magazine. Mary says something along the lines of \u003cem>Right on, sister!\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003cstrong>Rosamund: \u003c/strong>\u003c/em>That was nice of you, to praise Edith's plan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003cem>Mary:\u003c/em> \u003c/strong>A monkey will type out the Bible if you leave it long enough.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Okay, it's official now. Mary is my favorite.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Everyone complains about how annoying it is that they have to call Mrs. Hughes Mrs. Carson now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Major foreshadowing moment:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003cem>Rosamund:\u003c/em>\u003c/strong> Mama's slipped away.

Is that incident the new thing Mrs. Hughes will spend all her time complaining about? Did she and Mr. Carson finally get it on? Will baby Sybbie and her cousins get a spin-off show? Will Thomas finally get to make out with someone? All (or none) of these questions will be answered on tonight's episode! Let's do this!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The show opens with Branson gazing upon Downton's ridiculously expansive grounds. He's basically the Powerball winner of 1925. What dumb luck!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back indoors, Branson tells the family about how much America sucks. He also is concerned he stole the Carsons' thunder. Uh, ya think?! Robert, always the voice of un-reason, is like \u003cem>Oh, whatever, you made the wedding less boring. I'm sure they loved it.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because it's been approximately 22 seconds since Mary and Edith got into a fight, Edith brings up the fact that Mary will probably have to give up being a feminist ball-busting Agent, now that Branson is back. Branson is like, \u003cem>I'm still jet lagged, can we not? \u003c/em>Mary makes a mental note to sharpen her switchblade.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The gang talks about how lame the Carsons' honeymoon destination is (because poor people hang out there) before changing the topic to Aunt Rosamund, who's coming to town to meddle in the hospital drama. Get ready for some geriatric fireworks!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Is she the one who takes care of the kids off screen? Is she keeping watch over her coats to make sure no servants touch them with their grimy little fingers? Or does she just hate everyone too much to sit next to them at this point?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Downstairs, the Sergeant is looking for Ms. Baxter. Seriously, why is everyone in this house not better at covering up their crimes? Anna and Bates are excited it's not them for once.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thomas is annoyed at Mrs. Patmore for receiving the visitor 'cause that's kind of his gig. Mr. Carson is still off naked somewhere with Mrs. Hughes so Patmore steps in as Thomas' resident bully. \u003cem>You're totally going to get fired, nanny nanny boo boo! \u003c/em>Thomas needs an \"It Gets Better\" campaign so badly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Upstairs, Cora is drinking tea in bed (so maybe she \u003cem>is\u003c/em> anorexic, but probably just lazy). She's complaining to Baxter about how the Dowager Countess is bringing some friend as backup for their upcoming brawl at dinner. Hey, life could be worse, Cora; Baxter could ask to borrow something. We know how you feel about that. But anyway, still all this hot and bother over this dumb hospital stuff?? Just merge! Or don't! Who cares!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Elsewhere, Branson tells Mary he's a capitalist now and wants his life to be more than just Downton. Um, okay, then why did you move back? Mary is supportive with a single caveat: no more Miss Buntings (the \u003ca href=\"http://45.media.tumblr.com/26db7deea9169596d334eaaf78672b02/tumblr_nhpo74A0Zk1rjtbk7o4_500.gif\" target=\"_blank\">annoying, self-righteous teacher\u003c/a> from last season, if you don't remember). Here, here!!!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Downstairs, the Sergeant spills the latest criminal intrigue: he wants Baxter to testify against a purported \"handsome devil\" who makes women steal for him and then take the fall, while he walks free. He's the reason Baxter was in jail that one time. Baxter is super spooked and doesn't want to get involved. Molesley throws out a platitude: \"All that's needed for evil to triumph is that good men do nothing.\" Baxter shoots him a withering \u003cem>You're so bloody simple!\u003c/em> look and storms out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Upstairs, Cora is annoyed because the Dowager's plus one wants to bring a plus one. It's a man so I bet you it's a new love interest for Mary because this show is not progressive enough to leave her as a badass single woman.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Mary's room, she and Anna talk about some new maids who aren't as cool as past maids. Then, talk turns to how Anna is thickening up with pregnancy. Bates assumes she's just fat because she likes pie. Then, Bates bursts in and completely ruins the vibe, which is what he does best.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Across town, the Dowager and her friend talk about the hospital and I stare off into space while humming to myself until the scene is over.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back at Downton, Thomas is in charge and everyone has to do that annoying stand-up-really-suddenly-and-scrape-the-chair-against-the-floor thing in deference. Thomas off-handedly mentions something about properties on the estate and Daisy starts droning on about how excited she is that her father-in-law is getting the Drews' farm. When someone finally breaks it to her that she's been hallucinating this whole time, she gets very angry and clutches a water pitcher really hard. And because no scene with Thomas is complete without cute Andy spurning his advances, that happens too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On a road surrounded by sheep, Edith is driving (yes! driving!) her aunt Rosamund. The car has a huge steering wheel. Rosamund tells Edith about this funky college for clever, but poor girls. She's a trustee and thinks Edith should be one too because there's a hot dude who works there and he's around Edith's age. First the newspaper helper and now this guy? When it rains, it pours! Get it, Edith!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back at the house, Molesley stops Cora on the stairs to talk about Baxter. Has he not gotten the memo? Cora is NOT IN THE MOOD to hear servant sob stories this season or let anyone borrow or touch her things, geez!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Downstairs, Daisy tries to murder potatoes with a spoon and then rants about how let down she is that Cora lied to her. Mrs. Patmore brings things back to reality and emphasizes that Daisy fabricated this whole thing and is maybe addicted to psychedelic shrooms or something? Daisy continues to murder the innocent potatoes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Upstairs, the visitors arrive and are announced. Mary is shocked to find that the Dowager's plus one's plus one is that sexy guy she went hunting with during last season's finale. Didn't I tell you?? They're totally going to get married because anything else wouldn't be predictable enough.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Branson talks to Mary's future husband about cars and doesn't realize that this is an A and B conversation and he should C his way out of it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By the fireplace, the Dowager grills her friend about her nephew's prospects. 40 men would have to die before he becomes an Earl. Ouch. Too bad the Titanic is already underwater; could've treated all 40 of them to a cruise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Robert calls his mom and her friend out for being snobs. Glass houses, dude, glass houses. Then the Dowager puts her son in his place and wins my heart for the 7000th time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003cstrong>Robert:\u003c/strong>\u003c/em> No one has sharper eyes than a loving son.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003cem>The Dowager:\u003c/em>\u003c/strong> You read that somewhere.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003cem>Robert:\u003c/em>\u003c/strong> Why do you never think I can make anything up?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because you suck at business, aren't very bright and helped kill Sybil. That's why!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Downstairs, Anna is having a contraction or something.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the dining room, the old people fight over the usual, while Mary becomes the first person to ever flirt using the words \"guinea pigs.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After dinner, it's Mary's future husband's turn to flirt. \"Telephone me. We'll have lunch or a drink.........or something.\" Mmmhmmmmm.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/01/732978471.gif\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-20013\">\u003cimg class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-20013\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/01/732978471.gif\" alt=\"oprah mmhm gif\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A few yards away, Cora and some others discuss how embarrassing all the fuss over the hospital is. This is true, but what's even more embarrassing is that the\u003cem> Downton\u003c/em> writers are wasting the show's final episodes on such a dull storyline.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After everyone leaves, Robert clutches his side. This happened in the last episode, but I didn't mention it because I don't care about Robert. But yeah, I guess he's going to die. We all know dogs go to heaven, so Isis is accounted for. Will Robert be reunited with her or travel somewhere a bit warmer?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Outside, Baxter and Thomas are both having existential crises like they're sophomore English majors high for the first time. Thomas wishes he was popular and straight like Baxter. Baxter wishes she was like Thomas (minus the gay part).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You don't care what people say, while I tremble at the mere idea of public ridicule.\" Scratch \"blogger\" from the list of pursuits Baxter might entertain after Robert dies and the family sells Downton. Thomas explains that he actually does care what people say and walks off like this:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/01/j6ZBj.gif\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-20005\">\u003cimg class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-20005\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/01/j6ZBj.gif\" alt=\"george michael walk gif\" width=\"320\" height=\"180\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Later, the Sergeant is back to convince Baxter to testify. She's like, \u003cem>Pass!\u003c/em> Then he guilt trips her by bringing up other victims who are now prostitutes or dead. Baxter changes her tune to \u003cem>Ugh, fiiiine.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The treasurer of the funky girls school arrives at Downton with his wife (sorry, Edith), who happens to be Gwen, a maid from season 1! She greets her former bestie Anna, but snubs Thomas (bad move).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now that she has money, she's trying to downplay her time as a maid by not mentioning it at all. The rich people assemble to grill Gwen about who she is and why she came up with the school idea.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003cem>Gwen:\u003c/em>\u003c/strong> You see, I never had any higher education and so...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003cstrong>Mary:\u003c/strong>\u003c/em> Who did? All we were taught was French, prejudice and dance steps.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I never thought I'd say this, but Mary is quickly becoming my favorite (again, sorry, Edith).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Downstairs, Daisy predicts that no one will recognize Gwen because \"they don't look us in the face.\" Mrs. Patmore rewards her right answer by calling her Karl Marx and ordering her to get back to work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Upstairs, Branson bonds with Gwen over marrying up and out of facelessness. Thomas looks on, full of dejected rage (which would totally be the name of his first fragrance, if he was a pop star).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After sitting down to dinner, Gwen preaches about educating women. Everyone laughs about how they wish Carson was present to say sexist things. Thomas sees his chance: \"You recall Mr Carson, madam, surely?\" Gwen's cover is blown to bits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gwen explains how Sybil helped her get a secretary job. Everyone mournfully thinks about how good the show was before Robert killed Sybil with his bad decision making skills.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After dinner, Gwen goes downstairs to hang with her former coworkers. Daisy jumps out of nowhere in front of Branson and plays her favorite broken record: MY FATHER-IN-LAW! IT'S NOT FAIR! MY DEAD HUSBAND WHO I DIDN'T EVEN LIKE! RICH PEOPLE SUCK! Branson is like\u003cem> Um, woah. I'll see what I can do. Now please stop talking.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A few paces away, Robert corners Thomas and makes him feel bad about being evil sometimes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Upstairs, Mary talks to Anna about how remembering Sybil makes her reevaluate being a mean snob all the time. All the talk of Sybil brings back the ghost of pregnancy problems past and Anna has a crazy cramp. They decide to hightail it to the London doctor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Outside, Bates asks 1001 questions, including \"So you're not hiding anything?\" Before he can question her about being in love with someone else, like he did last episode, Mary and Anna get in the car and drive off. Bates watches them go and thinks solemnly, \u003cem>Damn it, I have to kill again.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back inside, Bates continues being weird:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003cem>Andy:\u003c/em> \u003c/strong>What's Lady Mary's emergency?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003cem>Baxter:\u003c/em>\u003c/strong> It's none of our business.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003cem>Bates:\u003c/em> \u003c/strong>Very true, Miss Baxter. For once I agree with you.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Um, why the 'tude with teary-eyed puppy Baxter? What has she ever done?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then Bates continues attacking people by asking \u003cem>Ugh, Daisy, what exactly is your problem?\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Daisy explains that she's \"had enough\" and will confront Cora for \"cheating\" her father-in-law out of the farm. She slams spoons next to place settings really hard so everyone knows she means business.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Upstairs, Cora convinces everyone to give the farm to Daisy's father-in-law because it's what Sybil would do (also, this is the only way to get Daisy to stop stalking her).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Downstairs, everyone tells Daisy what she's about to do is social suicide. Daisy doesn't give a you-know-what, yanks off her apron and storms upstairs to execute Cora or whatever.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Upstairs, Cora runs into Daisy and is like \u003cem>Really, girl?\u003c/em> Daisy plays her broken record yet again. I'M UPSET! Yeah, we know.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Robert interrupts and tells Daisy to make sure to tell her father-in-law the good news. Daisy makes this face and then runs downstairs:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/01/99603862.gif\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-20009\">\u003cimg class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-20009\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/01/99603862.gif\" alt=\"miss jay shocked gif antm\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Robert comments on how weird Daisy is and then grabs his side again. One step closer to the grave.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In London, the doctor announces that he prevented Anna's miscarriage. Mary celebrates by making plans to go on a date with her future husband.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back at Downton, Robert tells Thomas how excited he is that Carson is coming back to fire him. Maybe the pain in Robert's side is a side effect of whatever poison Thomas is slipping into his tea? When Robert keels over, Thomas will do a tap routine over his corpse, while singing \"He Had It Coming.\" Now\u003cem> that\u003c/em> would be a proper end to this series!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back in London, Mary tells her future husband that she works, despite her ovaries. He doesn't set himself on fire and run around the room engulfed in flames so that's a plus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the farm that used to belong to Marigold's kidnapper, Daisy's father-in-law tells her how excited he is to know where he will \"lay his bones.\" Yay?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back at Downton, Bates grills Anna, who has just returned. She finally tells him, \u003cem>Hey, stop brainstorming ways to kill me.
