    Was saddened by Lady Violet's reveal, but I guess it's inevitable, as her character has to be about 900 years old at this point. I really would prefer her to live eternally and dispense zingers and spar with Isobel forever more. Downton isn't Downton without her.

  2. Enjoyed the movie quite a bit.  Took a novice with me who also enjoyed the movie (quite a bit) without ever having seen the series, or known the characters and their history.

    I've always been enthralled by Fellowes ability to expertly string along multiple storylines and the enthralling interactions of googobs of characters.

    The characters deliver.  Fellowes delivers.  The movie delivers.

    Welcome Back Downton Abbey!

  3. Son of Coul is the reason I came aboard.  Son of Coul is the reason I stay.  

    Also, I’m a huge fan of the rest of the cast…particularly Fitz-Simmons; but excluding Skye/Daisy/Quake/Whatever—just never could warm up to the character(s); almost left the show when it started focusing so much on her.

    In addition to a great cast, this show has had some stellar guest stars—with my favorite being Bill Paxton’s turn as John Garrett.   I especially like that so many guest stars have recurring storylines and are not all just one-episode-wonders. 

    Biggest Challenge: Putting up with Deke (the character is annoying in any timeline).

    Biggest Regret: Lost of Ward (both the switch and the death).

    What BBT lines etc. appear in your real life?  Example from my family: "Is your wifi password still pennyisafreeloader?"

    "In my spot."

    It just popped out one day when a co-worker pilfered “my” parking spot. 

    Now, I used it all the time.

    Since we can talk about the sets here, I have a question for y'all. If you could take one item from the BBT sets, which would it be? I've always coveted Raj's UFO lamp.

    I'm torn between Amy's "Besties Painting" for Penny and Howard's "Robot Arm".

    I still say this was about 10 years too early for Shamy to get the Nobel.  Winners hear and react in different ways.  One didn't hear his call (if there was one), and rushed to a dentist appointment in the morning.  His dentist congratulated him, and it was the first time he heard.

    I thought Beverly was really having some feels and was comforting Leonard.  This episode was The Maternal Conclusion after all so I'm pretty sure it was the best it was ever going to be.

    I think so too.  I also think that Beverly had an epiphany. That’s an explanation that fits.  An epiphany is one sure thing that will bring someone to instant awareness and cause an immediate change in them.  It’s like a total “cleanse”; except not for the body—but, for the "soul".

    I can't get over how much time these adults spend with their friends.  I have friends but we don't live in each other's pockets.

    So much togetherness...plus:

    Leonard, Sheldon, Howard, Raj, and Amy are all colleagues.

    Penny and Bernie work together.

    Leonard, Howard and Sheldon share a patent.

    Stuart’s Comic Book Store is each guy's favorite watering hole.

    Sheldon and Amy live across the hall from Leonard and Penny.

    Raj is Godfather to Howard and Bernie’s kids.

    Stuart lives with (and sits for) Howard and Bernie.

    Sheldon’s relationship with Leonard’s mom is more congenial than Leonard’s.

    In the real world, all this personal and professional blending would have made people tired of looking-at-each-other; long time
