I do admire the fanfic writers, I'd love to be able to write something, but like you Lindsay I never seem to have enough hours in the day. I used to love making up stories at school, English was my best subject, so I'm sure the creative juices are still in me somewhere. |

I just watched the S4CS and Paul Giamatti was such a perfect fish-out-of-water. A magnificent actor, but he had so much to work with, being an American who is shorter and less-stunning-model than most of the rest of them. It was so odd to see him on DA, because I think of the show as "elegant" and Giamatti has never struck me as "elegant", LOL. It was genius casting. I thoroughly enjoyed S4, but then I came to it with pretty low expectations and it made me laugh so many times. Nothing much actually happened, aside from Edith's plot developments, but it was a fun escape. It was a different experience from watching S1-S3, when I was really invested in Mary / Matthew and somewhat invested in Sybil / Tom. At this point, the show has become an amusing diversion, with Violet / Isobel providing some of the highlights. I'm shipping Isobel / Lord Merton and Molesley / Baxter, but not Tom / Ms Bunting (she's a rather obtuse, pushy sort, even if she's amiable and intelligent). I'm looking forward to the Mrs Hughes / Carson development in S5, and dreading the Mary / Who-Cares and Cora / that Egyptologist dude. I really liked Robert in S1-S2, but he became a rather forced antagonist in S3, a mostly useless appendage in S4, and I'm dreading buffoonery in S5. But I'm having fun. |

Have to agree about those other elements that make Downton worth watching Lindsay, I'm always drooling over the costumes every season, and even when some of the SL's begger belief, you can't fault the production value's, that's one thing they always get right.
Sounds like an interesting idea, taking a Downton themed river cruise. |

I think this article is missing someone, Edith. I think she deserves the happy ending the most:

Needless to say I'm agreeing with the way they're picturing Mary's ending. Looks like Jim was having a good time at Lords. |

Carrie, I agree with Anna & Bates. After everything that they've been through, these two really need a happy ending.
fox24, sorry that you got spoiled for future SLs. S2 is good and (imo) even S3. Hope you finish watching the rest of the seasons soon. __________________

Thanks for the links Lindsay, and amazing to see Elizabeth looking so young in that movie still, she reminds me a little of Judy Garland, she's really got a classic glamorous Hollywood look if you know what I mean.
Seems appropriate she narrated this programme back in 2012, about Screen Goddess's, I found it fascinating. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DHTCiEsIYkA |
