>The mod will be probably merging this into the video thread. I'd check there for the parody. It usually ends up going there if it's video related to Downton.
Actually as I said I'm now pretty sure that the parody was NOT a video (so I hope the moderator doesn't misfile my query under videos), but instead a short published piece somewhere in the form of a mock script killing off all the remaining characters on Downton. Driving me nuts that I can't remember or find where it was published! Jim C. |

My bad, I didn't read your post carefully.
I tried searching a little bit but didn't find anything. It would help if you could remember a line or a unique phrase from the piece, so you could google the direct quote. |

I've moved the thread to this one instead.
Jim C - if you can find a link to the parody script, please post it here. Was it on Tumblr? __________________

I can't remember an exact quotation, so all I could search were phrases like "parody in which whole cast dies" and "Carson dies Thomas dies" etc.--and that got me nowhere. Blimey! |

Mock script? Was it about S4 Episode 1?

The thing is, because Matthew's death was such an outrage, everyone and their mother has done a parody/AU thing by now...so it's hard to sort through the pile unless you know what you're looking for. In any case I'll keep my eyes peeled for it. Last edited by ediedoyle; 01-16-2014 at 08:24 AM |

No, it appeared shortly or soon after Matthew's death last season. |

Is this it?
A Working Draft for the First Episode of Downton Abbey, Season 4 : The New Yorker Came out last year on Feb 26. Everyone dies individually except for the Dowager Countess. __________________

Once I knew what you were looking for, I remembered what it was. Glad it's the right one.

Thanks for bringing it over here, Scarlet (and to Jim too). I have only skimmed through that one but it's very hilarious.

How long do you think Downton Abbey should go on
I thought Downton Abbey was really really good during the first couple seasons. Even though it was for the most part just a well acted soap opera it was still a lot of fun getting to know each of the characters.
However in season 3 and especially now in season 4 (got the dvd set and watched the season that way) I am really beginning to notice how little actually happens on the show. Character development isn't quite holding my interest like it did during the first couple seasons and am now looking for more plot development and quite frankly for most of the characters they all seem like they are in the exact same places in their lives when the season ends as they were when it began. So how much longer do you think Downton Abbey should go on if this is the direction they want to take things. It still is fairly interesting in season 4 but I personally will probably stop watching the show if they continue on the same path for season 5 and so on. |

Perhaps end it nicely after Season 5 is over. I don't want them to move into the next decade, but keep it in the 1920s. Let Fellowes select a good way for the characters to go off and leave/exit. Think it out thoroughly, and let it go out on a high note with people talking about how much they love the series. Don't make it a chore to watch where people just tune out.
