Well........I've seen ALL of it. I watched the whole finale last night and got so much more out of it because of the history behind everything. Further, I LOVED the ending. Finally Matthew and Mary are engaged...!!!!Finally!!!!

Don't you just love them all?! I have all the episodes on my PVR and plan to have a Downton Abbey Film Festival this summer.

Yessssssss. There are so many characters and they bring so much diverse color. I love that Daisy and William's father have adopted each other. How in the world could Thomas be rehired back into the fold?!!! Only on a soap! Maggie Smith and Shirley McLaine could be a very interesting and perhaps fun duo next season. What will happen with Mary and Matthew? Soap romances are always challenged. Will Richard unleash the scandal?
How long will PBS keep this up? I hope for a good while. They can't run out of plots. Mary & Matthew's plot has been a current running through the whole thing as has Mr Bates'. This is very well written.
I just found a link in which Shirley McLaine is being interviewed before she is leaving to film the 3'd season of Downton Abbey. She and Maggie Smith are very much in the position of butting heads! *grin* This will be top notch fun.

Evidently the filming is happening right now.

YAY! Glad you're all caught up! We'll be able to discuss it going forward.

A soap show discussion will be a definite pleasure. We used to have a blast with that.
