[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ok so regarding episode 2:

I think getting the Drews off the land leaves a house vacant for Daisy's FIL, which will then be able to set up a romance with our dear cook Mrs. Patmore, who is so sweet.

Maybe the Drews go to the FIL's house (they swap houses).  You know, they make Mrs. Drew out to be unsympathetic but wow this is soooo sh*tty what they have done to her.  Very Gatsby-esque of the Grantham family.

I agree with PP that the Carson/Patmore/Hughes sex talk etc. is unrealistic but it was still fun and cute.

I don't think Mary has a clue about Edith--she would have relayed a different vibe when talking to Anna about it.  In all her discourse she seems confused as to turns of events but not interested enough to stop and think a moment.  Agree with PP who says, blind to Edith.

That doctor is not gay.  But maybe the other former suitor of Isobel is.

[b]Again we see Lady Grantham with that weird head cock and upward eyes look--toward Daisy--that was just wrong.  [/b]And she even had that weird head turn when fuzzed out in the background during other characters' heated conversation about the hospital.

I know they are trying to make Thomas a more sympathetic character, but if you all recall what a horrible bad-a$$ he was in the first season, it's one of those things I don't like about TV--that total remake of a character to keep him in the show.  They tried to explain it away with poor Thomas, he's gay and lonely and on drugs, and now recovered.  Now (that new maid, the older lady) who Thomas was just blackmailing a while back has this soft spot for him.  It is just unrealistic.

No, I don't think it's wrong for her character. Remember, she was brought up in the previous Edwardian times where women where supposed to say nice things and be positive and soothing.  So her mannerisms and speech are appropriate for her character.  [/quote]
