While there was praise for Lean In when it came out last month, there was also a lot of negativity swirling around the hype. I noticed some of the criticism of Sandberg's book was coming from people who either had a knee-jerk reaction to its title or to reviews they...

Wow, the third season flew by. Here's some thoughts on the development of my favorite characters (and yes, if you haven't seen the finale, there's spoilers ahead):

Lady Mary and Matthew: Goodness, Matthew too? Young people drop like flies around here. Not that I wished for Matthew's death, but I...
