Bates eavesdropping - oh my, *what* a clever twist.
Mrs Patmore fearing technology and then being proven wrong - *never* been done before.

When is this over?

 My theory is that Lord Grantham invests everything in the estate heavily, and then in 1929, when the stock market crashes, he takes a gun to his wife, daughters and grandchildren, as well as the staff, leaving the estate to fall to the crown.  My hope, actually.

 Now THAT would make some good Tv!

Ya know it really says something when these actors are able to wrestle true emotion from 1980's Mexican Telenovella writing.

The whole Anna/Bates rape storyline was lazy and manipulative, but I still felt when I saw Anna's face when she knew Bates knew.

So is Bates gonna kill a bitch?

I expect Lord Gillingham or whatever his name is will come back into play. His valet will be made to confess, Lord Gillingham will dump his new fiancee for Mary eyeroll, and Bates and Anna will leave Downton and live happily ever, finally free of Julian Fellows's atrocious writing.

This tumblr is killing me .

PS: Managed to watch just enough of the last episode to realize they completely ruined Thomas's character too. And since when is Edith a racist?

 Thomas is an evil little fag because all fags are evil and Edith is a racist, because she is a spinster.

In which Rose kisses a black man, again, Edith almost gets an abortion, and Mary gets down and dirty with the pigs. 

And this classic line:

"This pig is dehydrated and half dead. We must carry water back to save them all."  (The day after the pigs are delivered... and he's so knowledgeable about pig disease, knowing instantly the pig is dehydrated. Oh this writing, I am amazed at how these storylines just magically come together.)

Oh, Julian Fellowes.

My god, the transitions in this show are terrible. Mostly because they don't exist.

Did I ever mention I rally like the actress playing...wut's her name? Thomas's protegee. Miss Baxter. Too bad she has such a terrible storyline.

"It looks dehydrated" OMG LOLOLOL WHAT IS THIS SHIT?!

By the way, how old is Isis? That dog is gonna outlive everyone on this show.

Macha thank goodness for that tumblr you found....it's keeping me sane.

If the show actually did this I would become a true believer.

But who am I kidding....bleh

Awww, that woofer Isis, is a sweetums I was hoping the main housekeeper lady (forgive me, can't remember her name) would use the candlestick, in the Dinning Room on that POS' head, save Bates the trouble.

just peeped the last epidose to see if someone else was writting this piece of shit and what I saw? Mary`s scene with Dr. Pig and you know what? that scene deserves a  slow motion loop like the last scene of season... can´t remember, where the three stooges are hugging and laughing, too lazy to look for it here but you know what I`m talking about. We should have known that after that final scene of season whateve,r things will go down.

You know, we rant so much about the writing but the directors need some shit thrown at them too.

 I'm so happy for Molesley. We're assuming Thomas got some in America, but they just kept it off camera. But probably not because he's just as bitter as before he left. 

And what the fuck was Lady Mary in London snapping at the poor substitute butler?  "Dinner is ready, Lady Mary." "I'm not sure Meade would have put it like that!!" What was the whole point of that? That Mary is still a petty bitch?

 I didn't understand that, it seemed so out of place. And I'm tired of this constant swinging between "look at us, we're so conservative" and "but look at us, we're so modern!" Piss poor writing, but not worse than when they act like *every*  insignificant detail constitutes drama. Oh no, Lady Grantham lost her paper knife - DRAMA! Oh no, Thomas is trying to learn stupid secrets that wouldn't help his character in any way - DRAMA!

NO. It's not.

Yeah I am done. Even that stupid, boring kitchen maid drama. It is so mind-numbingly inane and repetitive. I have given this series more than it deserved.

Where the hell was Paul Giammati? I thought he was a guest star?!

 I am *not* done, because I still want to warn my American friends as the series begins to air that each plot point is painfully forced and the writing is hideous.  And I still kind of enjoy it in a self-flagellating way. I do enjoy making fun of the piss-poor writing. I can't wait for the Season 4 what if Downton Abbey happened on Facebook things.

Loved the Christmas special! Bates is so good, bless his heart. Mary and her beaus, I like the one who helped her with the piggies . Shirley has the last word on Grand MaMa , kitchen staff at the sea - sweet scene in the water

Just saw the Christmas Special. It wasn't as bad as I expected it to be. I actually quite enjoyed it and really especially liked the ending by the sea.

Aaaw, Paul Giamatti and Molesley and Mrs. Baxter and Carson and Mrs Hughes! This one didn't suck so badly. Well, except for Thomas and his silly plots that don't lead anywhere.

And, with the American premiere of DA on the way, here is your fun:

If Downton Abbey took place entirely on Facebook - Season 4, Episode 1

I am so done with Daisy, that character is DONE. Same fucking storyline since season 1.
Boy likes her she doesn't like him back, she likes boy, he doesn't like her.
They should blow up her damn oven and take out half the kitchen idiots.

What the fuck was also going on with Branson and his lady friend? That went completely nowhere.

This show still sucks, it just sucked less this episode.
