Downton Abbey pt.2

[Nessalina]

For continued waffling...

Ah, thank goodness I'm not going bonkers. I came to read up and see if I'd missed an episode, the one in which Anna and Mr Bates had the talk about him being a murderer and the Device. As it is I'm not sure I saw any scene where she mentioned feeling able to dtd with her husband again so was flummoxed entirely by all the talk of babies, enormous families and all of the meaning looks between them.
Slight boak.

Oh no I have just realised tomorrow's episode is the last one... what will happen?

Not much will happen sadly. I think they'll save it all for Christmas special.

I agree with citrus, not much has happened all season so why change now? And the thing that probably WILL happen will be shit (Bates and/or Anna being charged with murder...on what frickin' grounds?? Because they went to London? It's all circumstantial!) so I'm not sure why I am even looking forward to watching tonight...but I am!

It's an extra-long episode, I think? So we must be in for a murder saga of some kind I suspect. I'm hoping Thomas is going to end the episode leading the whole cast down the drive at Downton chanting "We're Queer! We're Here! Get Used To It!" - it feels like the only person who has a problem with him being gay is Thomas himself (despite this being extremely unlikely to have been the case in the 1920s).

I hope there's no Isis funeral scene, definitely too much to cope with.

Rose's wedding dress is lovely (pic in Radio Times), but there's a hint that things might not be plain sailing.

wouldn't there be some resemblance between Marigold and Edith? Or her father?

My DDs don't look like me (waaah) so maybe not.

Wtf?

Gosh, the kids grow fast at Downton. Lady Mary's son will be shaving and singing baritone by Christmas.

Sorry I mean, there again seems to have been a missing episode.

Just missed what the Prince asked granny?

Is he proposing to shack up with granny without marriage!

to be her friend and lover and for them to spend the rest of their lives together. He also said he wasn't going to bother divorcing as they weren't going to have children.

Bates really enrages me. All that louche slouching in front of the police. So unseemly for a gentleman's valet.

All this fuss over one valet? Really??!?

Reckon the prince doesn't want to stay living in a hovel, violets house is nicer!

This has become surreal.

A 1924 police procedural (not) meets Lady Chatterley's lavender crinoline

Is the farmers wife going to steal Marigold??

Child-free wedding then? Bet they have a poem asking for money instead of gifts too!

I'm a bit at edith being worried about leaving marigold. That child has had more homes and "mummies" that hot dinners.

Poor Lady Rose having that mother !!!

Quite late in but can I jump in and and join?

What's going to be the beef with the new footman then?
