Oh my R'hllor! Did I say I wanted drama? NOOOO, I didn't mean it, please take it back. *gross sobbing*
Julian Fellows, get your shit together, you are not GRRM.

The scene where Maggie arrives at DA in the morning was so moving. And Thomas crying...UGH. Just kill me.

Do they give the worst lines to Mary on purpose, or is Michelle Dockery just not that good? I can never tell.

The producers of Downton Abbey said, "There's a successful TV show. Let's kill off one of *our* main characters!" So yes, GRRM killed Sybil.

On the next episode. Maggie Smith gets beheaded.

Now you're talking, Cary!
Can it be Crawley Sr. though? Hugh Bonnevile is lovely but damn, he makes all the bad choices.

I wanted tension, not drama. I sobbed like a baby, my stomach in a knot... maggie smith she is just so amazing!

they took sybill because i think they thought her character wasn't bringing anything new to the table. It is the husband who rattles their cage, and they decided to develop Edith into the free spirit of the house, so she was the one the one they could get rid of to add "drama". But I blame GRRM. Now all our favourite characters are going to drop like flies!

You did this george! You and your pet tortoise did this!

j'accuse! waterdancer

 



ETA Mary is not as good,imo. Don't think she can do such a wide range.

 ooooh! I wanted to say this ever since Edith thought of writing that article. It seemed they decided to develop her into what Sybil once was, and I thoght hmmm,  isn't this a bit redundant? Guess not...

Yvy - who's leaving the show? I haven't read any news. Please tell me it's not Thomas. And nor Branson either, I really think having him and the baby around would be good for the show. Mwaaah...

Finally, Bates is going to be out of prison (but it looks as if Thomas might be heading in the other direction soon thanks to O'Brien.

I just wanted to bitchslap Lord Grantham. And Mr. Carson.

Ugh, this episode... Mr. Carson is written very badly. He always was a stiff sourpuss but now he's nothing more than a caricature. Grantham's scene at Crawley house was ridiculous. Get your shit together, man, really! disbelief

I like the whole mess the servants are in. I could hardly follow who liked who but thank R'hllor for Mrs. Patmore who made it all clear. Daisy, my girl, you need to get out of that house ASAP. Oh I miss William...

Easy solution on Mr. Bates, as usual. Really, first he isn't even allowed to talk when walking outside in the prison courtyard and now he's got time to push someone into a dark corner and threaten him. Consistent writing, Downton style. evileye

Oh poor Thomas, he's gotta get himself into a lot of trouble. Didn't something similar happen in S1 or 2? Thomas entering someone's room, I mean.
That scene at the table when they were discussing religion made me so sad. Just give Thomas someone who likes him back already, he needs a bit of sunshine in his life.

What...what's happening to Branson? I got the feeling he'll end up leaving the baby at Downton eventually. NO NO NO, I will throw a tantrum if he does. Just take the baby and move into that farm Matthew showed you, buy some sheep and live a real, no-nonsense life together.

Slow progression with Edith. But that editor in the preview for next week, hmmm mmmm.  kraken

I really like this ep. Lol I really liked ep 2 season 2 of GoT… and nobody likes it. Just my luck.
I don´t think this is a filler episode. It is as it should be. IMO.

I like that the house, at all levels, reflects something of what is going on outside in the real world. It's like Sybil's death would not have been in vain… Some fresh air is coming into the house.

The two men who represent the old ways (Carson y Grantham) looked like fools, yes but they´re fools. And it´s women who take bolder decisions and that I´ll always like. It´s no longer just an obsolete man´s world. There are several lines of dialogue that confirm it, I think.
Yes, Mr Bates scene is just bad and Carson and Grantham are fools but we all knew that. Carson himself said it: “I am what I am”.
The only scene and plot I found awful was the final, with the doctor lying and all that shitty weeping. That was pretty lame. And rushed. Just when Cora was getting interesting.

Ah, Daisy my poor soul: "Quick quick slow quick quick slow, quick quick slow"… sexy Foxtrot
Even Daisy is waking up. :”I´m busy, go ask Yvy for dancing lessons” (or something like that). Amén to that girl.

This was the line of the night for me tho:“Lie is such an unmusical a word”, that old owl.
And I think Tom will give baby Sybil to Matthew and Mary.
Am I crazy or Edith´s editor is… MICHAEL PALIN????

 You take that back right now! I liked that ep. stannis 

Thank you for putting into words what I too found annoying about the final scene with the doctor, I forgot about it. No, no, no. Let Cora have something of her own, even if it's just anger. She has a right to feel angry. This show needs more anger and less resolutions.

I know he's going to get in big serious trouble for that.

Poor sad, bitter little Thomas. But finally, things seem to be happening. Is "Rose" (from the preview) a cousin or something?
I'd just wish they get rid of that soppy music that plays in every goddamn scene. This show should have written as a comedy, it works much better for everyone.

so, no M. Palin cry. 

Hmmm some crappy lines too eh? "Convince me again", really? Matthew has the sex-appeal of an amoeba. 

Poor poor Thomas: "He had break all the fundamental laws of god and man"... leave the poor man alone.

Mr Moseley is such a wet rag, always looking queasy. What does he do at the house? He was Valet for a bit, but Matthew took over that duty. He just seems to mill about.

Descent enough finale ... I can never say too much as you guys haven't seen it yet ... suffice to say Daddy Downton comes good and has a pair ... eventually , and a comedic line! Whoop!


However, I'm more excited to hear The Paradise has been given a second series .... I love it!

 I keep asking myself the same thing. Ultimately, I'd say it's because Fellows is a poor writer with a nostalgic and shallow perspective on aristocracy, and didn't really had any ideas past the first season. And because Downton seems to be about pretty dresses, luxurious interiors, and Maggie Smith. 

And andrea is right, who the hell introduces a (useless) character in a season finale?

 I was thinking the same thing. Next thing you know, Rochester's mad wife will escape from the asylum and try to kill them both. She fails and dies in the attempt, and Mr. Rochester goes to prison, with Edith fighting for his freedom...oh wait. 

Alfred is such a douche. Why are you such a douche, Alfred? 

As always, everybody learns everything about everyone, and the good masters put everything in order. Quality writing. evileye 

But Mr. Bates makes it up for it by being a sex beast. Come on, we all knew he would be. 

Branson, I love you, you Irish gem of a man. 

Why hasn't Daisy left Downton yet to work on her farm? She gets nothing, as always. Why are season finales so unkind to you, girl? Get out of that house. Thomas, my dear. I wanted to see you hear the good news. cry But everybody hates you, so no final scene for you either. 

And what was Rose's purpose again?

 We both love Branson. I´m happy that he didn´t gave baby Sybil to the "sexy" couple.

Daisy is slooooooow. Give her some time.

Rose is a skank with no purpose at all. How come you introduce a character in your season finale? I was happy for 5 minutes with her. Someone who enjoys life! but no, she´s  just stupid. disbelief

Ok. I'm disappointed with the finale.
Why why why? Have we run out so much of ideas that we have to pull a Jane Eyre in poor Edith? I cringed I swear, praying under my breath that he wouldn't say that! ugh...
And Branson is a sellout. Where are all his revolutionary principles, his socialism? He wants now to evict people and get the Lord to behave lordly and look after the "little people". And everyone accepts Thom, the old fashioned lord doesn't care about avoiding scandal and possible trouble between the servants.
Thank God for Bates and Anna.
Why do they go to the trouble to create or insinuate a conflict if they cannot keep it up for more than an episode?

Oh well, yeah other than some fun drama with Cybill that stirred the pot, everything was resolved by the end of this episode. Too much happy endings and resolutions, is there even anything to look forward to?
