Members Bright Eyes Posted February 5, 2012 Members Share Posted February 5, 2012 Do you think for season three the show will pick up the Matthew / Sybil connection? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members HeedTheMessenger2.0 Posted February 6, 2012 Members Share Posted February 6, 2012 Okay so just started watching this - watched the PBS version this weekend (all 7 episodes) and I just love it. I was completely surprised because I honestly don't like "period dramas" or really anything "period themed". But I just loved it - the acting, the humor, the storylines (for everyone!) - very balanced. No one really dominated the show (like US soaps tend to have "major" characters)... and it was just amazingly riveting. I started Season 2 today but haven't caught up to real time yet. I really wish there were more episodes in a "season" and that it comes back soon! Also: Season 2 debuted on PBS with over 4 million viewers and a 2.7 18-49 rating. That is way more than most of the daytime soaps and it's pretty amazing especially coming from PBS. I wonder how it would fair in the daytime market?? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members YRBB Posted February 22, 2012 Members Share Posted February 22, 2012 Halfway through Season 2. Wasn't sure about the WW1 plot at the beginning, but I think it's worked out fine. Obviously, they can't show a lot of the actual war, so they chose to show the changes and sometimes horror that the war brings into people's lives, how it changes almost everything. It's quite a shock to see Downton as a convalescence home. Love the soapiness, the sometimes cliche writing, the couples, everything really. Have you guys seen these? You will DIE! It's from the fabulous ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS due Lumley and Saunders and Kim Cattrall's casting as Cora is inspired. She got the voice and accent PERFECTLY. Take the time to watch them, they're HILARIOUS. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaytimeFan Posted March 13, 2012 Members Share Posted March 13, 2012 The Jennifer Saunders spoofs really are amazing. I just love Joanna Lumley! I love Downton Abbey as well, I sat down a few weekends ago and just watched it from start to finish and I cannot wait for the third series. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members YRBB Posted April 16, 2012 Members Share Posted April 16, 2012 Potentially HUGE news, spoilerish if true, so beware: http://www.imdb.com/news/ni26340132/ I will be DEVASTATED if that happens. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dm. Posted April 17, 2012 Members Share Posted April 17, 2012 Apparently, the info is false. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1606375/news#ni26441233 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members YRBB Posted April 17, 2012 Members Share Posted April 17, 2012 (edited) They've only denied the news regarding Season 3, though. Not 4 and 5. So who knows? Edited April 17, 2012 by YRBB 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Juliajms Posted April 19, 2012 Members Share Posted April 19, 2012 Well, the dowager can't live forever, so if she goes in season 4 or 5, I can live with that. Assuming they even make it past season 3. Dan Stevens hasn't even signed on yet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaytimeFan Posted April 19, 2012 Members Share Posted April 19, 2012 And hasn't the show been jumping several years between the series? The Dowager, unless she pulls a Queen Mother (which I would love), won't last the run of the series. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members YRBB Posted September 11, 2012 Members Share Posted September 11, 2012 I'm surprised no one has posted this yet!

Members YRBB Posted September 17, 2012 Members Share Posted September 17, 2012 ^^You're welcome! GREAT Season 3 premiere! I'm not sure what to do with spoilers, so I'll just speak generally: Matthew and Mary continue to be tearjerkers and the show was on very fine form! Loved every minute of it. Can't wait to see how this develops. The ending of the episode was perfect. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bright Eyes Posted September 17, 2012 Members Share Posted September 17, 2012 Just finished watching it myself. I've missed the show so much I even found myself smiling at Elizabeth McGovern's infantile voice! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members YRBB Posted September 17, 2012 Members Share Posted September 17, 2012 Me too! God, I hate that voice and that weird accent thingy she's got going on but, on this episode, I didn't mind. I guess that'll change soon, though 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
