It seems as if Rose was introduced to set up Edith and potential hypocrisy with a married man. I still like Matthew and Mary least. Wait, how is Thomas still in the house? I didn't see that coming. __________________ "There's no cure for being a cunt." Bronn "King Stannis is my god." Davos "Who the fuck is Jon Snow?" Locke

could be good if she had been introduced at least one episode ago. Matthew and Mary are creepy.

Have you seen the way that Mary smiles? It's fucking PAINFUL. That grimace on her face, it drives me nuts!!! Sorry girl, this is what waiting till you're married gets you. Your husband is horrible in the bedroom.

Cary reminded me...WTF was that scene with the police at the end. Hilarious!!! Everything is settled, Thomas is coming back, but then Alfred calls the police in the last minute, they come to investigate, Robert talks to Alfred, he withdraws his statement. All this in a couple of minutes, at the end of a season finale. And this is called "drama". WHAT.

Oh Downton, I wish I could quit you.

PS: this scene brought tears to my eyes...

....from laughing so hard.

If anyone is familiar with 30 Rock, they sometimes do a silly freezeframe at the end of some episodes. I tried to find it, but this was JUST like it...couldnt believe it!

Well, I made it though fifty minutes of the Christmas special before I realized that it was way past midnight and time for me to be getting to bed. And that's when I found it it's 1:30 long. So lots of your favorite characters.

I am not through, but nobody's died yet. But Dame Maggie's hardly gotten any one-liners in.

Hahahahahah the ending made me ecstatic! YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS!

Spoiler: I saw Matthew driving and thought "oh please PLEASE hit a tree or something". Yes, we knew he wanted to leave the show, Cary, I think Yvy or I even posted a link to an interview of his which hinted at it.
Was the fact he couldn't shoot that deer supposed to be a metaphor or something?

AAAW Mrs Patmore! I loved her in this episode, then again I always do. Nice to see Daisy and that other girl are friends, I do wish we could have heard something about that "business proposition" Daisy received from her father-in-law.
Was that...Ser Rodrick? I barely recognized him without his whiskers.
Mary, oh God, is there any possible way she could be more annoying? On top of that she didn't look fat or bloated, she's not even sweaty and she've just had a friggin baby. "We've done our duty?" EWWW. They always give her the worst lines.
Mr Molesley! Loved O'Brien and LOVED Thomas in this. For a moment I thought they introduced the other lady's maid as O'Brien's love interest.
And thank you for not giving Branson that horrible woman. I was so afraid they'd go ahead with it.
I kinda like Rose now. I guess the show needed some fresh air. (well, that show needs a lot of things...) But geesh, her mother was way over the top.
Anna and Bates need something to do, tho.

PS: LOL, what Cary said in his last two posts. THIS!

I'll start it soon. So far I have seen luggage. Let me guess, they're traveling to another posh location where they'll spend 90% of the time dining and plotting in fancy suits and 10% will be spent mixing with the plebs, to show us how kind, responsable and forward-thinking they are. __________________ "Fuck you, Andy Pandy.

I knew the moment

Spoiler

I saw Matthew driving home that it was over. Didn't we already know he was leaving the show?

Yvy, I didn't cry, oddly enough. But then again, we didn't get to see the impact of the announcement on Mary and the family.

Maybe Mary will be less of a bitch from now on.

GOOD for Edith. If one is destined to be an old maid, one might as well get some fun out of life doing it. If nobody is gonna marry her at least someone is going to get his tuppence with her.

I felt all warm for Thomas at the end. What a good fellow he turned out to be!

Don't cross O'Brien! Mrs. Shrimpy's maid found out the hard way.

So I take back my earlier comment about why the hell did they introduce Rose only to send her off? Apparently she is going to be a regular. This should relieve some of the older characters from having too much scandal.

And the old lady got to have some one liners without kicking the bucket for another episode! Cheers!

And I still think Rose being introduced in the last ep before the Christmas special was stupid, and poor writing.

Spoiler: They could have introduced her in this episode and it would have worked just fine. Show that she's young and rebellious, and have her affair with that married mad at the beginning of S4, especially since Edith is also headed that way - it would have been a nice parallel.

Um... I liked some things about this Xmas thing. Wut. I loved Mrs Patmore, cheeky devil, she made me laugh. And Scotland, wow, beautiful. And yes! amoeba is no longer with us! I won´t miss you spineless creature!

Mary, I knew something bad will happen to you and your amoeba so stop being a bitch with Edith. And, "we´ve done our duty"? what a monster. You don´t deserve a decent kiss so amoeba didn´t give you one, of course. That would be passion.

Thomas dear, stop with the act, I don´t believe you . And Bates, always Bates those puppy eyes looks at Anna.

Trololol, that scotish made wanted to fool O´Brien. Bitch, O´Brien is the salt of life!

This Rose character so badly introduced in the finale it is bad writing but the actress doesn´t help. No good. disbelief

And everybody is getting some in one episode? Ugh.

Ah right, let´s use the "help" to show how moral we are. Yes, Long Susan, better go to Ripper Street, that´s your destiny, to run a whore-house and get some fun out of life with Homer. You go girl. And fuck you J. Fellows.
