I loved the season end episode too! I think Maggie Smith gets the best lines & always steals the scene!

Loved the series & simply cannot wait for more. Almost feel empty without those wonderful characters on Sunday night. I have older siblings & discovered they watch it too. It gives us something to discuss. My sister & I do reenactments....probably to see how people lived, but mostly for the clothes...just had to admit that. Love to read these posts & can't wait for more. I'll find "House of Elliott". Thank you for the suggestion.

I am SO HOOKED!!! And so is my 16 year old daughter!!! This series just mesmerizes me. I think you have to watch it more than once to get everything, especially the first episode when you're being introduced to the characters. (Why I splurged and bought both series on DVD!)
I also think Sir Richard had something to do with Vera's death. NO WAY Bates would have killed her! I sure wish he'd stand up for himself sometimes, though!
I just did the quiz and I'm like Robert, Earl of Grantham!!! LOL!!!
The theme music just keeps racing through my head, too! I am SO HOOKED!!!

Can you believe that I missed both seasons when they were "live." I was able to get Season one from the library's waiting list fairly quickly, but I'm number 30-something on the list for the second season. I might just have to Netflix them. When the third season rolls around, I will be better prepared!

| Glad to see so many fellow Downton fans! Can't wait til Season 3!! I hope Edith can find her place in the world now that Sybil and Mary are married (well, Mary is engaged anyway!). Poor Bates-I loved him in "North and South!!" There is a sweepstakes through PBS to win a trip to England to visit the real Downton Abbey, have tea with Julian Fellowes' daughter and Lady Caenarvon (sp??), etc. I think you can enter daily until sometime in late April! I found that the show really did transport me to another time and place-such beautiful clothing, etc. and who can resist Lady Violet?? |

Sorry, couldn't resist posting a favorite of Lady Violet's:
Richard: It is not likely you will see me again...
LViolet: (looks at him) Do you promise?
Loved that! |

Sorry to disappoint, Darlene, Bates was actually in the "North and South" BBC did in 2004 based on the Elizabeth Gaskell novel. It's kind of like a Pride & Prejudice set in a Victorian mill town in the North of England. If you like romantic movies, this one is for you-sigh! It's my favorite! Bates plays a mill worker (and is as wonderful in this as he is in "Downton Abbey!")
I do like the U.S. "North and South" too w/Patrick Swayze-always liked the story line between Madeline and Orry...also very romantic! |
