[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agree with the positive sentiments about Mrs. Crawley and the doctor.  I'm enjoying that story and Mrs. Crawley's character, generally, very much this season.

I'm also becoming a fan of Edith.  I'd love to see her become a career woman in London, someone of note, on her own.  A famous journalist, perhaps.  Once we get to WWII, the possibilities for her story would be enormous and exciting.

Disagree with the negativity toward Rose.  I like her.  I like the way she's just crazy about men and doesn't give a fig whether they're appropriate or not (i.e. working class, black).  Actually, it's that she sees them as individuals and doesn't seem to notice that they're not appropriate, which is actually more interesting than if she were consciously rebelling against social expectations.

I've loved the clothes on Edith and Rose, but the styles do nothing for Mary.  She's too thin and flat for them.  She just looks gaunt and shapeless.[/quote]

I agree with you re Mary's clothes, but I think this is intentional to show her cocooning herself.  I suspect she is due for a blossoming event, and the clothes will of course blossom with her to emphasize that fact.

LOL I'm not crazy about Rose, but I see your point about the potential for interesting stories.  Although I disagree with your point about individuality: I don't think Rose sees the men as individuals at all…any man giving her attention is all it takes to peak her interest.  Therefore just as there are no distinctions re cultural appropriateness of the individual status or not, there really is no distinction based on the individual's personality either.  Rose is just man-crazed and any drooling man will do. (oh to be that age again!  So exciting and fun.)[/quote]

Yeah, I think you have a point about Rose.  I do really like her, though.  Usually young characters really irritate me, but she's so eager and ingenuous and cheerful.  I find her so appealing.  Everyone around her is so jaded, especially with Sybil gone.
