Sad...I feel like so much should happen and so many of my favorite characters are still so unhappy or just in limbo.

103 days until Sunday January 03 2016. a Sunday 3 months and 12 days from today till Downton on PBS in US.

Are you in the UK? It's airing right now there....the first episode was so tinged with melancholy and everything that makes the show great. The second was good but not great. I'm so devastated this show is leaving us so soon.

 

And I just want Thomas to find true happiness for the love of all that is holy.

I live in US and there are 77 days until January 3, 2016 when we get 6th and final season of Downton.

The last season started here in Sweden last Saturday. I'm a bit sad that the end is near, but at the same time I think they made the right decision. If it had gone on longer I fear the quality would have dropped.

The last regular episode aired here this weekend. Now there's only a Christmas special and then it's over.....

The last episode did give me something I've wanted for a long time though....

It was delightful when first Tom (a bit surprising) and then Edith (finally) gave Mary a good verbal smackdown. I almost cheered when Edith called her a bitch!

It's over. The last episode, the Christmas special, aired here on Boxing Day. 

Without revealing too much it's safe to say that it was a very feel-good episode, as episodes like this usually are. But it was a worthy end to a wonderful show.

Aside from what they did (or not I should say) with Thomas I thought it was excellent!

 

The little moments like the one at the end with the Dowager and Cora really choked me up for some reason.

I watched the Christmas special. All I can say is this: it was everything I wanted it to be. The perfect ending for a wonderful series.

Enjoyed the Downton wedding, liked when Tom and Sybie returned also how cute Sybie, George, and  Marigold hugging. 

 

Poor Grandpa Donk is sure having a rough and gross time, Mary's light bulb moment about Marigold can not be good - also congrats to Downton Abbey Cast Wins Best Ensemble in a TV Drama at the 2016 SAG Awards. 

Yeah, that was pretty awful. Plus, the reactions people had were odd. Stiff upper lip and all, but I'm pretty sure If I were Cora or Violet I would have been freaking the f**k out.  Obviously, I'm still watching, but Downton hasn't been the same for me since Matthew left. The people Mary and Edith are dating feel like cardboard characters to me.

'Downton' will air its final episode Sunday March 6 on PBS. 

I think much of the season simply limped along. That said, it was satisfying to finally see Mary get called out by both Tom and Edith. It amazes me how much Edith has grown and developed as a character, while Mary is still the cold, stuck up bitch she was on day one.

I wish Mary had mentioned Edith trying to ruin her over the Pemuk scandal. Edith could have legitimatly come back and said that the difference is that she had changed, but it felt false to me that Mary wouldn't bring that up, no matter how long it's been.

 

Anyway, I agree that show is limping along. I'm glad to see some of these characters get their happy endings, but the last few seasons just haven't been the same.
