nope maybe Sybil means another escape, like literally pickle will drop her off somewhere Smile not necessarily run away with him

diddl · 27/10/2011 14:19

Just watched the trailer again.

Wonder what Matthew wants to tell everyone?

That him & Lavinia have set a date?

And why must everyone "come at once"?-what´s Lord G seen??!!

LadyHarrietDeSpook · 27/10/2011 14:21

Maybe she doesn't want to get him in trouble though. So that would be the reason he had to drive her some place?!

I know that is hilarious, all of them running quite literally down the hall, petticoats all a-flutter. WTF?

limitedperiodonly · 27/10/2011 14:58

So Sybil says: 'I think I've found a way out'?

This has made something dawn on me: Lord 6 seems unable to set foot more than a few feet outside Downton's front door.

You never see him hunting, shooting or fishing. Or visiting a high-class brothel. All normal pursuits for an upper-class chaps.

My theory is that JF has nicked the plot of The Others and Lord 6 is dead.

ThePsychicSatsuma · 27/10/2011 15:07

Grin limited I enjoy your oddness unusual view of the world

Lua · 27/10/2011 15:10

Lord G saw Matthew walkin, therefore shouts for everybody to come quick and see.

M & M set a date

P. Gordon is the real heir and he will mary Edith.

When Mary shows that Matthew still loves him besides him having no money, he will finally trust again, and the series will end with their marriage.

something horrible will come up about Lavinia and Sir R, to get rid of both characthers.

JF

limitedperiodonly · 27/10/2011 15:11

And Carson. I don't think I've ever seen him outside either.

There was a scene last week when he and Lord 6 were standing inside the doorway with their backs to us like vampires longing to step into the sunshine.

That'll be the dramatic denouement to the plan for Mary to poach Carson for her own home.

He'll carry her wedding trousseau to Sir Richard's vulgar modern motor car and burst into flames.

ThePsychicSatsuma · 27/10/2011 15:12

right have also rewatched trailer ..

it's theme is about being 'stuck' and breaking free

officer shagger's parents are also unfeeling rats, then, eh.
they should be glad to have a grandchild now he is sadly dead. Mrs will work on Mister to help out ethel Im sure.

have no idea why lord 6 was legging it down the corridor, what to see?

thomas has stockpiled enough food to feed ireland!

sadly, think Sybil is imminently eloping avec pickle

mary is a little bitch isnt she, her true colours always out. She's bitterly trapped with sir R now, can't bear anyone else to be happy

ThePsychicSatsuma · 27/10/2011 15:13

the preview suggests carson says no to mary -changed his mind?

will anna and masterbates go, master as the butler?

ThePsychicSatsuma · 27/10/2011 15:14

Lua - why are you signing off as JF?

are you actually JF?

your predictions make logical sense, to be sure.

ThePsychicSatsuma · 27/10/2011 15:15

Lavvie for the flu come on

Lua · 27/10/2011 15:22

JF couldn't probably write as bad as I do...

-> When Matthew sees that Marry still loves him, when he has has no inheritance; he will finally trust her to really love him!

limitedperiodonly · 27/10/2011 15:23

There's nothing unusual about it psychic. Isn't it obvious?

limitedperiodonly · 27/10/2011 15:26

'JF couldn't probably write as bad as I do...'

Don't sell yourself short lua

LadyHarrietDeSpook · 27/10/2011 15:29

Oh, this will really disclose my level of procrastination. Fecking hell.

Go onto the ITV This morning website: Downton feature, more of episode 7. Mary talkin' about cuttin' her hair off and looking like a boy. Queue horror from Sir R and Matty. "You're very feminine." "I don't know how feminine I am."

'Twas too good not to sure.

LadyHarrietDeSpook · 27/10/2011 15:30

Not 'to share'

Lav looking horrified too. Edith in a very stylish dress.

Lua · 27/10/2011 15:33

link please!

if it makes you feel better I have not posted in MM in years... but just couldn't resist talking about DA (and really didn't want to work...). I get the sad sod prize!

LadyHarrietDeSpook · 27/10/2011 15:47
.be

There you go. It's worth watching. Lav is all over the shop, think she's going to walk down the aisle with Matty. Think it's hopeless.

ScatterChasse · 27/10/2011 15:51

Ooh, am excited now! Can't wait for Sunday.

I'd like to be Mary, other than the whole Turk/in love with Matthew/ marrying Sir R thing...so, I'd be Cora ignoring the fact Mary's older than me.

Ok, I'm neglecting my husband a bit, but I do love him really. I have a lovely house and three lovely daughters of whose doings I am mostly completely innocent, luckily

I'd have to be able to move my face a bit more though...

ScatterChasse · 27/10/2011 15:59

And I disagree with the voiceover person on that, they would say 'what', or maybe 'sorry', but extremely unlikely to say 'pardon'.

Lua · 27/10/2011 16:05

Thank you!

I don't think she will cut her heair though... do you?
maybe just to piss Sir R?

diddl · 27/10/2011 16:35

"Lord G saw Matthew walkin, therefore shouts for everybody to come quick and see."

I thought that -although the term that came to mind was standing erect up.

How can Matthew & Mary set a date when she is engaged to Sir R?

I think that either Mary & Sir R or M & L will marry.

Or Mary spills the beans about Lavinia because she´s a spiteful cow stuck with Sir R.

josephinebonaparte · 27/10/2011 16:37

I can't get that link to work

Animation · 27/10/2011 16:41

How are Lavinia and Sir R aquainted?

Are they secret lovers?

diddl · 27/10/2011 16:52

"How are Lavinia and Sir R aquainted?"

Her father was in debt to him.
She stole some papers implicating some politicians in a shares scandal-including her uncle-so that her father´s debt was written off.

According to her.

But MNers seem to think that she is hiding a much bigger/darker secret.

Not me, I think that Lavinia´s lovely & I hope Matthew marries her.
