Downton Abbey

Next season's premier, Lady Sybil will wake up in the bathtub realizing she just had a year long dream.

Excellent.

Heh. I wish!

That was a hard, hard season to watch. I am still bummed.

Indeed she is! She even made Thomas look sympathetic! And he's pretty mean himself.

Maybe that is it. . it was all about reputation. I mean, if Thomas had been arrested, then that would have brought more scandal upon Downton than if they keep it quiet and forgave him. It's all about perception after all. :-)

I know. I was feeling so sorry for Thomas and I hate him!

The notion that Thomas was born gay seems a bit modern to me, and more progressive than I'd expect from Robert. Of course, I have no idea what folks really thought about gays in the 1920s.

Also, it's interesting how easy it was to forgive Thomas, but how hard they've been on Ethel. I guess the biggest difference is that Ethel's indiscretions were known to all and had the potential to hurt their reputation. Perhaps if Thomas' indiscretions were had the same potential, they'd be less forgiving?

Also, Ms. O'Brien is vile.

If you buy the Season 3 season pass, you get all of the episodes now. We finished season 3, and I'm pissed.

AH, I wasn't paying that much attention in the first season apart from listening for zingers from the Dowager and hoping to see a comic interlude of Mr. Carson running around in a gorilla suit or leading the help in a ministry of silly walks.

Didn't they have the same discussion just prior to the wedding (and reach the same conclusion)? Also, Mary has good reason to dislike Edith, if you remember back to Season 1. She doesn't strike me as the forgiving type.

Right. I was going to say, Edith tried to destroy Mary in the first season when she found out about the Turk.

Why do the older sister and the ugly sister not get along? It was funny at the funeral when the ugly one asked if they would grow closer now and the older one responded with a quick "No."
