I can't remember exactly when it happened, but near the end, Anna was inducing as many eyerolls as Denker and Daisy.

Look, as long as we're having a viral case of happy ending-itis, can we rewind and have someone introduce Dr. Clarkson to Rosamond? Choppy wrap-ups be damned, I'll still miss this beautiful mess.

Right. But that would resemble something like an adult relationship, and not a hastily conceived teen infatuation, played unconvincingly by thirty somethings.

Agreed. The whole thing was off, and it seemed out of character for Mrs. Hughes to join in (but not out of character for Anna to spill the beans to Queen Mary-- that felt spot-on).

I'd rather see a Donk/puppy bonding scene than another damn wedding. I think that it's a peril of shows that have a large female viewership.

At the risk of repeating myself, I cannot hear Cora talk without thinking of Truman Capote (and impersonators).

"Cheeky!"

What a great movie, and yes, it was it my mind, too. I had so hoped that Carson would avoid this fate, and allow himself to be more fully humanized by our Elsie. At this point, though, I'm a bit shy of "cautiously optimistic."

My punishment for her would be for her to have to work at the Dowager's, under the direct supervision of Denker and Spratt.

If Patmore/Mason ends up like Hughes/Carson, then maybe Daisy's c@ckblocking isn't so bad, after all . . .

I don't understand all the panting over Matthew Goode. Now, the actor who plays Rose's FIL? Different story.

Yes, yes! And Edith could have written about it! When it looked like she was to become a serious writer, I thought that was perfect both for her character (as something of an outsider), and for the time period, but . . . Marigold.

I did the same thing. I wanted to know two things: if Elsie had managed to make a decent husband/human being out of Carson; and if Baxter and Moseley ever got together. Sounds to me like neither question was sufficiently answered, but I am glad, at least that Moseley became a teacher. I lost interest in the upstairs (and most of the downstairs) some seasons ago, but will definitely miss the hats and the quips from the Dowager . . .

I wonder if this was a wink to the audience, who knows the stylish aunt in question.

Seeing Rosamund always makes me think "Why don't we see more Rosamund?" Not seeing Denker & Spratt? As restorative as a good broth! ; )
