That was a great episode. Almost felt like a series ended. Very happy for Mr. Mosely. Mary was such a bitch. Hope she didn't totally screw it up for Edith.
what an amazing episode, wow. Dont even know where to begin. I hate that their is only 1 more episode and then its over. Poor Edith, if i were her i would of done a lot worse than call mary a bitch. Something tells me she ends up with Bertie though. So happy to see granny back, i will miss her most of all. My favorite character. Wish barrow would of finished it off, but this is downton abbey and everyone will end up happy somehow
Was so strange, yet nice, to see legitimate, unbridled laughter on the show re: Mrs. Patmore. Also gave us a good moment later where Robert actually stepped out on a ledge in saying they'd go and have tea at her place, and put Carson down a peg. For someone who historically has been so cautious and traditional, that showed some good character growth.
yes, mary has compassion for barrow because he is good with george, but she doesnt care about anyone else in her family
Just in general, they're pretty similar, so found it made good sense. Both cold, aloof, judgy and think too highly of themselves.
now that you say that, it seems quite interesting that the family has "counterparts" with the staff. Robert-Carson Mary-Barrow Edith-Mr. Mosley Cora-Anna Branson-Baxter im sure their are others that im not thinking of
My prediction for finale even though mine have been off. They fast forward five months: Anna has the baby, Mary get pregnant, Bertie goes back to Edith because she liked him when he was just an agent, Barrow becomes Lady Crowley's butler when Pratt does column full time.
Good Predictions imo That last one is a great insight. I hadn't thought of that, I was wondering where they were going with Spratt heading to ediths paper and that might be it I'm very sad their is only 1 more episode
I'm sad too. Really great show that didn't drag on and on just because it kept getting good ratings. Going out on top.
I think my wife might also be right about Thomas, becoming the first "manny." They keep showing him with the kids, how good he is with them, and how much they like him.
So did we. It's fun seeing the characters originally. Turns out, Mary's been a huge bitch the entire time. I had forgotten about Fake Canadian Patrick, lol.
She has been a bitch but I totally get why she hates Edith after the letter to the Turkish Ambassador. Forgot how much I hate O'Brien.
Well that was a pretty great finale. Sometimes it's nice to see a show end where everyone gets a happy ending.
Yup. Happy endings across the board aren't always appropriate, but here they absolutely were. Did not see Barrow becoming butler at Downton, what an awesome resolution to his storyline.
Watched it tonight as well. What a great finale. For a show that ended a few seasons on dark moments and many of the characters went through tragedy it was nice to see a happy ending for all of them.
Wife and I started watching this. It’s very soap opera-ish and over the top sometimes, but addicting. Just watched the last episode of S2 last night. Old lady grantham is the best bates storyline is eye rolling some times. He has quit a few times, and now in prison RIP William
Sybil is the death that hurt the most. Fantastic character, and one that was really needed to break up some of the stuffiness.
So, we almost have up after the first episode. This show is over the top cheesy sometimes but we absolutely love it and are addicted. We missed the first few minutes of the lightning game last night because we wanted to squeeze in an episode. Not sure who my favorite character is but Bates and Daisy are the worse Edit - Bates character isn't the worse, his storyline is the worse
This Bates stuff is getting really old. If he goes to jail for killing the rapist, I hope that's the end of his story Mosley starting to become one of my favorites
We just finished the series, having watched one ep per night for however long. The series drags in the middle, becoming especially bogged down in the Bates/Anna morass. But they got their shit back together and the last seasons are very good.
So barrow becamw the butler and everyone ended up happy What a good show. Almost didn't make it to the second episode, but glad we did
Movie was good. Mosley lol Only thing I didn't understand, was how the Queen's maid had an inheritance violet wanted Robert to have My wife figured Henry was too famous to come back. We both cheered when he showed up. We names our son Henry, so that had something to do with it I would actually enjoy a flash foward. Thought violet hinted at that with her talk to Mary at the end
That was not the Queen's maid. Lady-in-waiting, so top dog on the Court. She would be from a prestigious family.
Thought the new movie was Ok. Didn’t really care about either story line. Was nice to see everyone Spoiler happy for Moseley rip dowager countess tom is the best
Thought the first movie was like a really good long episode and the second was the ultimate homage to the show. Spoiler Not sure how you make a 3rd film without Maggie Smith, but it seems they could try.
