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 @lulu_bear I even got angry at her in the last season so you might be better than me
@robini71 @lulu_bear Spoiler alert for anyone who hasn’t seen it yet. Oh yes when she forced him into giving up racing. Granted it was infinitely more dangerous then than it is now, but he was a grown man. He knew the risks. It should have been his choice.
@technocounselor @robini71 Spoiler alert: What she did to Edith was worse, outing Marigold in front of everyone.
@lulu_bear @robini71 Oh absolutely. I would’ve never spoken to her again after something like that.
@technocounselor @robini71 It always made me glad that Edith, after everything she'd been through, picked the plum so far as marriages to. I'm glad they both ended up happy, but Edith deserved all the good things she got.
@lulu_bear @technocounselor Yes, I agree. It was so heartbreaking watching Edith be passed over and then left at the altar like that that was horrible.
@robini71 @lulu_bear Oh yes, one of the many times I cried watching the show.
