[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love you people! I had to hold off from reading this thread until I watched Sunday's episode. I agree, I will not miss Bunting. I am hoping Mary gets together with Tom (Sybil's husband). What do you think?

There was one scene this weekend, Tom and Mary were walking upstairs, and he said something like "you're a lot nicer than most people realize".  It reminded me so much of a scene between her and Matthew, way back when, he said almost the exact same thing to her.  It was almost eerie.

I like them better as platonic friends, but I do hope they each find someone special.[/quote]

hmm.  I don't see it, top PP.  The reason is that Mary and Sybil were so different, and the part that Tom was in love with was the part that Mary lacks.  Mary is very much about the establishment and uses it to get what she wants, and sneaks around within it also to get other things she wants, too.  She's a tiger in a cage.  Sybil was ready to abandon it. She was fluid both within the establishment or in Tom's world, and gentle in both.  He loved that she could relate to him on that level.  I think Miss Bunting was sort of only that "other" aspect of Sybil, the other half, and without any moderating force, it was too harsh for Tom.  Because he's a hybrid now, too.

Mary doesn't have any of "that other half" which I think is why Tom was so hungry for Miss Bunting's companionship; it filled a void.  He hangs out with Mary so if she fulfilled his need, he would have gravitated to her and not to Miss Bunting.

IMHO, but honestly, who knows what they'll do next with the characters; it doesn't always make sense, and if audiences want Tom+Mary, they may give it to them.[/quote]
