It was practically overnight and feels as though the writers made her a completely different character. I can believe that she's getting carried away after tasting some freedom, but you're absolutely right that she feels more selfish and less likeable at the moment. I'm hoping there'll be something to redeem the character as she was so fascinating to begin with. That's good to know. I certainly really like what I've seen so far. How intriguing. At the moment he's neither curmudgeonly nor evidently racist, but that could be down to the facts that he's trying to change his ways to make the most of his (apparently) limited time with his family, and he's not yet interacted with anyone other than WASPs. Ooh - I didn't even know this was a thing. How exciting. The episodes I've just watched were transmitted in early 1980, so it certainly wasn't immediate. Perhaps the switch will come when the recording gets to 1980. I'm fairly certainly the VTR boards still say 79, and I'd expect them to do so for a good few weeks' worth yet.
