Downton Abbey

I think they'd have to - it may be billed a 'Christmas special' but it is a continuation of the story, and there are a number of important developments.
 
I love Dan Stevens

He played gay on 'The Line of Beauty.'
 
I've been avoiding this thread because I don't want to read spoilers. I am still waiting on my pre-order from Amazon, it is ridiculous. Why bother calling it a pre-order anyway when it serves no purpose, you don't get what you ordered on time seeing as how I have been waiting for a week and a half now. No more pre-orders for me, anyway I hope this next series is good, I enjoyed the last one and the story elements that it had set up. :D

Btw... I love me some Richard Armitage. If they ever made a gay porno with a man of his refined looks, his accent, his voice in a Victorian setting. That DVD would be worn out. :)
 
Does anyone else love Cora Crawley, Countess of Grantham? I know she annoys many viewers, especially with the way she talks, but I just love her entire character. The family has such wonderful lives.
I don't get why Lady Sybil would want to give up the lap of luxury to slum it with some former chauffeur. A gorgeous girl like her could easily find a hot rich man. I don't understand how someone could complain about having a life that revolves around parties, beautiful clothing and sex (making heirs). But then again I work minimum wadge in the service sector, cleaning and waiting on spoiled people. I can only imagine having all my days as "weekends".
 
Also I always wonder how rich Cora's family must have been in order to support Downton. It's interesting that the US was one of the reasons many of these family's could no longer afford their manors, because of our cheap export of crops and meat.
 
I loved the Christmas special, especially because we get to see less of Mr. Bates and more Thomas.
Now can Lady Edith find love? Her scenes with men are just pathetic, I really feel for the poor thing.

Branson started out okay but he got incredibly self-righteous towards the end. It was horrible.

Who you tellin. He was a huge hypocrite. He talks about how bad aristocrats are yet seeks a job at Downton then accept Lord Grantham's small dowry after corrupting his daughter. Pot meet kettle.

I'm hoping Sybil will return for season 3.

I feel sure she will. Why else would they have included the scene where her mother tells the father she wants and expects to see her grandchild.
 
We finally watched the last episode we had recorded.

How will we survive until season 3?

When Shirley McClaine turns up as Elizabeth McGovern's mother. It should be hilarious watching her and Maggie Smith just gobble up the scenery when they appear together.

The Dowager is not supposed to be 'funny'.

The Dowager is acting in the best interests of the house and the family.
 
Well. I'm hoping this is just a ruse for Dame Maggie Smith CBE to get a pay rise and hopefully get some better parts from now on.

I hope she'll be writing her memoirs so we can understand why her husband turned to the bottle

Seriously? You're teasing, right? Of course she's supposed to be 'funny.' It's the way she's written and exactly the way Maggie Smith plays her, as comic relief and as a showcase for all the things Julian Fellowes loves about Smith's screen persona. I think the "play her for laughs" got a little too "loose" in Series 2 but she's definitely a comic character.

I would love to read that story. I think Robert Stephens was a very under appreciated actor and we lost him far too soon.

Their son Toby is also a very good actor (and hot as hell, I think his physical features are the best bits of both his parents.)

So I watched the first episode today and it started off slow but it ramped up towards the end. The costumes and setting are nice but I feel the real draw of the show is definitely the drama.

I totally agree with you here. I think it's slow to mesmerize in the beginning because it takes awhile (at least it did for me, anyway) for the characters and their motivations to clarify.

I also couldn't warm up (at first) to Michelle Dockery's Lady Mary (which I thought would be deadly if I couldn't 'root' for her when I knew I was supposed to) but I soon "got her" as well and then I was completely hooked.

It DID take until episode 2 though to really start to enjoy it.
