Downton Abbey

So, is everyone up to date?

Spoiler below if you're not





























So, now that Sybil's died, what happens to Thomas? Does he get shunted out of Downton or does he become a chauffeur again?

And can someone kill Mrs. O'Brien. Please.

 

O'Brien is fun to watch at least. The sooner Tom the Chauffeur disappears the happier I'll be. Haven't liked him since the first episode. He's just angry and earnest.

I am getting tired of Mr. Bates doing "Les Miserables" though. Get him out and bring him home!

 

The Bates stuff was my least favorite part of season three. It dragged so much.

 

Have been expecting Bates to get shivved or otherwise offed while in the slammer, but I'm thinking this latest plot turn makes another tragic demise way less likely. But they do need to get him out of there -- or focus on him as a spinoff that in stir that becomes a prequel to "Shawshank."

Assuming there's something "untoward" coming with Thomas and the pretty-boy recent hire, so even a cash-strapped Downton will have an opening for Bates again. Or maybe Moseley can't help himself and runs off with hooker-turned-cooker Ethel.

 

I was just asked over the weekend:
Q: Have you heard of this show?
A: Yes, I have.
Q: Why aren't we watching it?
A: I'm not stopping you from watching it. If you want to watch it, watch it.

 

The wife is crying.

According to social media, she's not the only one.

 

The most dangerous thing to do at Downton Abbey is have a baby. Ethyl, Sibyl, Matthew .... it never ends well.

This also reopens the question of the family's future since the women still can't inherit if I understand correctly.

 

This was the one spoiler I knew about this season.

 

They telegraphed it so much throughout that episode. I was surprised how little I cared when it happened. Sybil's death hit me way harder.

 

You sure don't want to have a baby on this show.

 

I like these summaries better than the actual episodes this season:

That's so good. Thanks for sharing.
