The Honourable Thread of Downton Abbey - The Third

[Moln]

Who filled up the last thread? Hmm?

All I wanted to say was Jonathan Rhys Meyers?

No!! I don't like him and he's a pants actor.

Oh no! Bloody tall footman twat.

Lol! Can he be called the bloody tall footman twat from now on please?

Goodness me, such a liberal household, not at ALL unusual for the era!!!

Do you think Mary might have had ovarian cysts? Don't fancy 1920s treatment for that - ouch

I'm sure Jimmy will turn out to be gay. He's just in denial, I'm telling you!!

Liked that last shot,the three men together.

Hey Pickles, why don't you phone Lost Property they may know where your long lost principles are!!!!!!

Worst Republican/Socialist firebrand ever!

Gosh, that slow-mo running at the end looked like something from a Pedigree Chum advert.

Alfred is a right dipstick. Let's hope his lovely auntie falls off get broomstick in the Christmas Special.

Not liking the everyone's happy it all worked out in the end ending

There should have been a cliff hanger.

This cannot be the end.

Pickle will be off to Spain in a few years to explain to the Communists they just need to get to know the toffs better and the whole Civil War can be averted. Pickle is going to alter the course of European history - Sybil's legacy.

That was a really good episode. I like Bates again.

I hope we see more of Fast Cousin Rose.

I really hope Thomas is a bit less of dickhead to everyone now though. Especially Bates. Just a smidge of character development would be nice.

Giant Baby Sybs to marry teeny weeny cousin baby matty.

Meh.

Pickles has grown too fond of Egyptian cotton sheets, fancy food and being a toff by proxy.

I think cousin Rose will lead Edith astray, slowly but surely Edith's love will grow for editor man and she will shack up with a married man by the end of next series.

I've just said the same thing! What was the point of the London stuff at all? Convoluted plot development to get Edith in the city to cop for the editor?

How did Thomas know about the soap? O'Brien wasn't very proud of herself- I can't see her ever mentioning it.

I think we're supposed to assume that he guessed after her strange reaction after it occurred. I don't think she ever told him outright.

What could the "small operation" that Mary had be?

Ah I liked the London stuff, it was nice to get out of Downton for ten minutes.
