I did too.

I kind of liked the symmetry of Barrow being to young George what Carson was to Mary as a child.

Fairy tale ending but what's wrong with happily ever aftering! It was strange to see Mary actually being nice.

I remain gutted that Isobel did not marry Dr Clarkson

Otherwise it was a perfectly wrapped up ending.

We saw the butt of the ill-fated, poorly named Isis wiggle across our screens for the ladt time, but we will always have Downton.

So did I!


This crossed my mind too -- she was such a wretch. Her and Larry deserve each other.

You're dying, sorry. Yes, we're sure. Oh wait- you're NOT dying!

Here's a girlfriend for you and a boyfriend for YOU and YOU! (Not so fast, Thomas). And a husband for you! And a wife for you! Did we forget anyone?

Everybody stuck in a soul sucking job or losing their job? Here's your dream job! And you sliced your wrist over this- tsk. No faith in the writers.

Anyone have a job others disapprove of? Three of you? Now you couldn't make them prouder!

Everyone who hates someone else- you're besties now! Kiss up!

Anyone want a baby? Here you go! One for you and you.

Shameful secret? Everyone knows now and guess what. Despite the times they love you more for it! Soak up the compliments!




But I'm happy with the confectionary ending, and SO happy Edith gets a happy ending. I teared up at the scene with Isobel and Lord M when he said, "I would have like to have married you."

Is Tom in love with Henry or what??!

Same here! I was so worried that Fellows was going to kill a major character off (e.g. Robert or Violet) so I was kind of glad to have a light-hearted, happy finale, even if it was a bit too tidy/predictable.

I love Isobel and Lord Merten together.


I was pretty sure Robert was a goner when he and Cora were saying "life is great. what could possibly happen?!" And it looked like there were still 30 min (on dvr). But then the show was over and there was just pbs fund raising. Phew!

Yes, predictable to the end.

And plenty of set-ups for a future reunion episode!

That hadn't occurred to me! I bet they would have run with that idea if there were another season.

I loved the final episode, they kind of wrapped everything up and people made peace with themselves and others. I'm going to miss Downton.
