  1. Any idea what song that was during the second line pictured above?
  2. That's interesting. I read the original pilot draft years ago and it did feature Philip, The King and Winston. The Queen barely made an appearance. Can't remember what draft it was but it changed significantly before it was filmed.
  3. I liked it too. Went down easy and I liked the host.
  4. That hurt my heart. It was all over Garcelle's face. Whew, that whole bit was rank AF.
  5. As he's surrounded by a clown car of over dramatic non-millennials.
  6. Same. I'm a perpetual re-watcher (helps me relax before bed) and there was the big ticket Edith nastiness (Turkish Embassy, kissing the farmer, Marigold family #1 in Switzerland, the Drews) but there was a lot of small stuff too. "What about my dress!" when Carson collapsed and snarking on Sybil that she'd picked up weight, reading Mary's letter from Evelyn, teasing Mary for praying.
  7. So did I. I rewound and just cracked up. So good.
  8. Crystal has an excellent wardrobe. I like her style a lot. Aspen was less than I expected.
  9. Found this tidbit from JF. There can never be enough costume drama on TV for me so imagining some of this is always fun. "At the start of the show, set in 1912, we needed Violet to be about seventy. This means she was born in 1842 and would have come out in about 1860, to enjoy a few flirtations before marriage claimed her. One of the things that always fascinates me is how quick history is and how a long life goes through two or three distinct eras. The Violets of the world, who were seventy eight and very much still around in 1920, would have been young women wearing vast crinolines who visited the Paris of the Second Empire and might have been presented to the Emperor Napoleon III and the Empress Eugenie". Downton buffs, have any favorite movies that cover some of that time period above? Since Masterpiece hasn't had another hit of this magnitude, I wonder if Downton origin stories were ever discussed.
  10. There's still story in those years. And it's my fan dream. A young Dowager and her marriage. I am sure there are tales to be told. I can see it. And didn't the Dowager reference her husband being a courtier to a prince? And they traveled quite a bit if I recall? She said as much to Isobel. So not "full glory" but glory in some fashion. I'd watch it.
  11. THAT is my exact dream. Downton in full glory. And I wouldn't mind if one of the season end travel episodes included the trip to the Russian Imperial Court where Violet met the Prince with his "yachts and thousands of acres". And that wild carriage ride through the snow. I've always wanted a full costume drama with the Romanovs (before the fall) and combining that with Downton would be my fan dream.
