Downton Abbey

The writing of these episodes has made me more aware of what I love about reading most novels. Even though I know that these are written for television and not as literary book chapters, the progress of the story and characters has lead me on in the same way as a good novel keeps me reading. And this is very different than I feel when watching other episodics or films. Simply put, he gives us what we wish for, and then makes us sorry for that, so we alter our wish which again becomes granted, and so on. At the end of season two, the “real life” part of me, was so relieved, and I went on the hiatus just wishing for all to be well and for normalcy to be returned to Downton. So, at the top of this season, that is pretty much where we resumed life with the Granthams and co. But I found myself fidgeting after the first 2 episodes, feeling like they were moving too evenly in a lateral direction. Even with the wedding, I started wishing something would happen to fill our veins again – and that wish was granted with the dramatic pathos of baby Sybil’s birth and Lady’s subsequent death. Now we look forward to Bates’ return, the Lord and Lady’s reconciliation, and perhaps even Tom finding a place in the family… “normalcy” again – or is that just wishful thinking…?

I heard so much about this show before actually viewing it. I wondered what all the fuss was about, but was reluctant to tune in. One day I gave in and caught an old episode. I was immediately hooked and now Downton Abbey is my favorite show. It is amazing!!! Abbey transports you with its engaging characters,beautiful costumes, storylines, sets and music. The characters are three dimensional and so will written at times you can feel compassion for the “baddies”. I look forward to each well-acted episode. I couldgo on, but I’ll stop here. I love Downton Abbey!!!

Downton Abbey was a joy to watch as it transported us back to a differant time and place. I enjoyed removing myself out of this currant day and time with all the the horrible things going on across the pond. I must say I was dishearted about the episode that aired last night. I fear you have taken me and your viewers out of the time of the fairytale lives of the rich in Enland and I found after viewing last night that I do not enjoy these everyday topics that I was trying to escape from here in the states. I fear your topics are not welcomed in my livingroom anymore. I fear you will start with the very topics I try to escape from in my life and the lives of my children. I fear you next topics will be guns, murder, the lost of lives, and most of all the fear of us mothers in Colorado, of our children going to a movie and not returning. Please take us back to a different time and that fairytale live that we need now. Your currant topic with Thomas has brought nothing but heartache and saddness to my life and I do not need to willing turn my TV on and let it back into my living room again. My anestors came across the pond many years ago for their freedoms inculding that of Religion. This is PBS Television are your views for everyone? My daughter and I would love to contiune to follow the lives of this fairytale family so please bring back that “fairytale” for us!

It’s the best addiction anyone can have.

This extraordinary right turn in the plot with Fellows (conspirator,dishonest,dog incident) but as he is homosexual you limply gave in t homoseuxal activists and enlarged his role. Courage? Not a smithereen honesty blunted because of activists.

What a horrible and insensitive way to end this season three. There are other ways to remove characters from a series other than killing them off. It was a terrible way
to treat viewers who have really cared about Mathew.

I know this sounds dumb, were the “Merry Go Rounds” used at the fair made by the Allan Herschell Carousel Factory? I live near North Tonawanda, NY and this is the kind of news that Western New York would eat up, not to mention it would be very authentic.

If Ms Collins joins the cast I will stop watching the program. I will go on FB and Twitter and ask all to boycott not only Ms Collins but the show and ask all to pass the message to all their friends on FB and Twitter. Until Ms Collins comes to be a human being and stop killing animals just so she can look like an idiot in their fur. Animals were born with their coats to keep them healthy and warm not so people like Ms Collins can kill and skin them to keep herself warm
