Lulu HartgenWhile I've been curled up in my little hole and unable to do much, even play any Promo, I've been watching Downton. I started it once, but they killed off my favorite character which put me right off. This time I've got past that, I'm about to begin season 5. I do love period drama. I have several really good ones and those kind of things are so handy when I need to be majorly distracted.
@lulu_bear I was so upset when they killed off my favorite character too, but I’m glad I ultimately stuck with it.
@technocounselor Who was y our favorite? Matthew was mine, and I was just devastated when they killed him. This time I knew it was coming so was able to get past it, though it was a near thing.
@lulu_bear Yes, I adored Matthew. I ended up watching his death twice as well, and even though I was ready, it was definitely still hard.
@technocounselor It was slightly easier for me this time, because I knew it was coming, but it was so cruel, the way it happened, I don't think they needed to do that.
Robin Frost@lulu_bear @technocounselor I agree and I never liked her second husband nearly as much. In fact I'm not sure I liked him much at all.
@robini71 @technocounselor Nah, wasn't terribly keen on him myself.
@lulu_bear @robini71 No nor I. But then again, I used to get angry with Mary about five times and episode, especially in earlier seasons.
@technocounselor @robini71 Hahaha, I feel you! I decided to go right back to the beginning, so she's perfectly insufferable at the moment. to be honest though, I didn't like her much at the best of times. Edith got her absolutely right near the end of six when she told her what for. Ooh, that episode, where she got both barrels from Tom adn Edith, I felt like putting out flags! I did find myself actually cheering out loud and yelling "Tell her!" at nothing in particular!
@lulu_bear @technocounselor Hahahaha yes to all of this. Mary had her moments but not many of them. And I always felt badly for poor Evelyn and Charles I wanted to know that they both ended up happy.
@robini71 @technocounselor Oh yes, me so too, I felt desperately sorry for both of them.
@lulu_bear @robini71 Yes, that was a glorious moment.
