And oh yes the dresses, GORGEOUS!!! But I HATED Lord Grantham and the maid kissing! I loved him as a character, but now he pisses me off. And with his wife almost dying, he still goes and kisses the maid good bye. Ack! Saying that, I still can't wait for the finale!!!!JenniferAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16775054250457650831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2117136912052729666.post-25512716908496638542012-02-17T12:01:12.485-05:002012-02-17T12:01:12.485-05:00All I can say is OHMYGOD JUST WAIT 'til the la...All I can say is OHMYGOD JUST WAIT 'til the last episode. I don't know how all you people can wait to legitimately watch the show in one week intervals with the UK version recorded and sitting out there in the internet ether just teasing you with its loveliness. I know I couldn't. And I didn't.<br /><br />Also, I completely agree with your assessment of Mrs. Bates. That woman is vile. As vindictive as she is, there is *no way* she would have done something that would keep her from being able to watch and enjoy her husband's misery. She is too vindictive for that.amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10277415223553671813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2117136912052729666.post-78085428697415416452012-02-17T10:49:46.269-05:002012-02-17T10:49:46.269-05:00It didn't occur to me that Thomas is gay.

If he didn't do it, he had it done. She was not going to accept that double cross and had to be dealt with.<br /><br />I loved the first night scene with Anna and Mr. Bates. It was worth waiting for.lisahgoldenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11158660223296807317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2117136912052729666.post-67588145485484465882012-02-16T18:16:34.237-05:002012-02-16T18:16:34.237-05:00A couple of things. 1.

I got annoyed bc I couldn't devote all my attention to the post so I had to stop reading and finish the task. So thank you for the increased productivity, I work much faster with an LG post waiting. I'm impressed I chose to complete the work task then read. 2. I don't watch Downton but enjoyed this post. Your candor and commentary is hilarious. I should tune-in because I like shows set in a specific time period and the costumes sound divine. 3. Totally agree - realism in entertainment is overrated. I love authentic, real characters but good stories and outrageous characters more.HKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13589169900225379964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2117136912052729666.post-58100757173784586402012-02-16T16:05:43.993-05:002012-02-16T16:05:43.993-05:00Oh, hey, since you mentioned you liked the Twiligh...Oh, hey, since you mentioned you liked the Twilight series, I should tell you about Eden Kennedy's hilarious Downton wrap-ups. She has the cast of Twilight interview various people about the latest Dowton episodes. And in several of them, she featured Robert Downey Jr. It sounds absurd, but they're a riot. <br />She hasn't done one yet for Sunday's two-hour humdinger, but here's a link to the one from the week before (the episode I hated): <br />http://blogs.babble.com/babble-voices/eden-kennedy-the-popcorn-whisperer/2012/02/06/downton-abbey-new-maid-lying/<br />Also, it goes without saying, that I agree with ALL OF YOUR POST (I too covet Mary's dresses) and shall go into mourning after this Sunday's final episode.Danahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07103053104460770180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2117136912052729666.post-14410051355641827082012-02-16T15:51:25.976-05:002012-02-16T15:51:25.976-05:00That is true - about the plumbing anyway.
