Okay, it's official. Downton Abbey has gone to the dogs.

C'mon. Isis is no spring chicken. She must be at least 13 by now! In fact, I wonder if the show jumps ahead any more years will they kill her off and remove her from the opening credits?

For some reason I thought that Isis was the second dog on the show. I don't think it's been the same dog from the start. Anyone know?

Isis is the 2nd dog. Added in season 2, which took place in 1916. It's 1924 in the current season (5).

So Isis is only 8.

But I fear there is trouble ahead for that dog. No way British television producers are going to keep around a dog that shares its name with such a horrific terror organization. Even if said organization has changed names eleventy million times

Yes, there is a show called "Archer" and the characters all worked for a spy agency called Isis, and they had to change the name.

I think Isis deserves a little romance! Some downstairs mutt that happens upon her, or some barn dog? Or…since that story line has already been done with the daughters, maybe she could meet some really fancy show dog, that was supposed to be bred to another show dog, but instead falls for Isis and will have nothing to do with the fancy girl dog..(bonus, it would allow Lord Grantham to say the word "bitch" in polite company)

It's sad when the most interesting thing about DA is the dog.

I'm rather disgusted that it's only season 5 and they have so blatantly recycled plot lines.

--Bates/Baxter was convicted of theft; but there were extenuating circumstances
--Bates is under the suspicion of murder under the most tenuous of circumstances/evidence
--Thomas is on the outs; saves Isis/Edith, is back in the fold

I was just going to say the same thing. The first dog (shown rear end, tail wagging, going towards Highclere) is a different dog. It, too, had an Egytian-sounding name. I'm pretty sure I read they were on dog no. 2.

The 1st dog was Pharaoh.

Good riddance. Regardless of her feeling about the class system, she was so rude and boorish to the family of the man she claimed to love. Couldn't stand her story line.

I feel like a Tom/Mary romance is on the way.

Now that Bunting is gone, we only have Isis

And, yes, it is 1924. They showed the year in the opening of this Season.

Are you guys really that interested in the dog or dogs?!!?

But it is only in English speaking countries that the acronym ISIS is pronounced in the same way as the Egyptian goddess, Isis, and the doted upon Downton dog, Isis.

Well if they do, Bates is a shoo in for the killer

Or Thomas. He's looking especially shady these days.

The dark circles under his eyes.

Totes over the "who killed Greene" story line.

Yes - there's definitely some repurcussion of that situation coming.

Meh. I doubt it. In the past the writers have spent several episodes fretting about something only to make it become irrelevant, like Lavinia's inheritance going to Matthew.
