Hello from the void, moshe12 .... I finally got caught up by watching S6 over the Holidays.... I can't believe what their doing to the Bates.... they just can't get a break.... I wonder who's gona testify against Anna? The friendship and banter between Isobel and the Dowager just keeps getting better..... Violet medals better than anyone on the series. lol What about the big news of Carson and Mrs Hughes..... OK, so it wasn't a real shocker.... It's still great. I hope something happens to keep Tom on the set, but maybe it's time for him to go. Rose looks like she's finally got the hots for someone the family can swallow.... good for her. Boy her mother in law was a sneaky wench. Can you believe Lady Mary's brazen behavior.... shacking up... really? It was great, I watched it all in 3 nights and enjoyed every minute..... BIG NEWS !!!!! I had a close friend visit from Chicago just before Christmas and took her to Henry du Pont's home in DE..... Winterthur is a 175 room mansion opened to the public in the 50's ( I've lived close for years, but never visited the house) I was the blacksmith for 10 yrs for the annual Point to Point horse race.... big tail gate party and good racing..... Anyway the news is the night we visited they were having a Downton Abbey exhibit..... really cool.... 23 costumes from the series were on display... I recognized almost everyone .... matching jewelry and hats..... really drove home that the men were better dressed in that time frame than the women.....what happened. Next year I'll try to stay current to discuss..... I'm watch another BBC period series "the musketeers" Boy, they know how to do it right, don't they.

OK here's my review for the season, btw DA got renewed for season 6 ...starting September 2015 on ITV I love Isobel and the Dowager... what do you think of old Merty? He's a sweet chap, but his sons are BARF!!! Personally I think the good Dr Carson is a much better suitor for Isobel, that again would suit the Dowager Duchess bec then Isobel would not uprank her in position hehe!!! Liked the old Russian love story between the Duchess and the Russian prince! The next thing...do you really believe that Gregson is dead? I have my doubts! am glad that Edith has found the guts to take things with her child into her wn hands! Mary is seriously going on my nerves, well, she was never my fav to begin with, the old b***, so she found a new suitor on the Christmas episode, that guy is very interesting and so damned attractive!!! wow! Charles Blake would have been a good match for her as well, I however wish her no great happiness, can't stand her!!! Rose and Atticus---such a sweet couple but oh my dear god, Lord Sinderby is sth to chew on, isnt he?! And Cora is half jewish ...what a surprise...given that her last maiden name was Levinson...DUH!!! Loved the Carson/Hughes SL as well, brought tears to my eyes I have my doubts about Branson leaving as well, but I wouldnT get my hopes too high, they make only 3 year contract in UK, so that the actors can prolong or leave the show. Anna and Bates...crime story recycled Loved my dose of Thomas Barrow though, he is so delicious, but oh dear ...he has gone soft hasnt he! Well I am starting to like Barrow Finally I howled when ISIS got sick (you know I am a dog lover/person)...RIP Isis, I hope Lord Grantham will get a puppy soon. That mansion/exhibition you have been to sounds very interesting, did you make pictures? I am watching the Hollow Crown and Wolf Hall series (Shakespeare Richard II, Henry IV and V), I watched The White Queen btw... and I am obsessed with Dr Who both tv series and audio drama, just started watching season 1

shoe20 I forgot to mention poor Gilly, I am so glad that he took off with his old fiancee Mabel Fox or whatever her name was !!! She was so delicious, so feisty , so sassy, I loved her and she will be the perfect match for boring Gillingham!

That's too bad moshe12. The cast is so well known now. Look at Joanne Froggatt winning the Golden Globe! That was tremendous and well-deserved. I'm sorry for not chatting with you and shoe20, but I'm avoiding spoilers and wouldn't be able to say much at this point anyway. I do like seeing the women coming into their own this year.

It's ok jennifer I can understand that you might not want to get spoilered, the season 5 was good and I do hope that you will enjoy it as I have done About the article...it might not be the worst decision to end the show, bec it it good to end before it gets watery and mushy At least we have se 6 to look forward to

Better to go out with a bang and with most of the cast intact. I'm already looking forward to Julian Fellowes new series set in NY, whenever that might be.

Sounds promising! Mary and her many suitors don't interest me much now , but I hope for Edith's sake the rumor about her future is true. Thanks moshe12.

But Mr Talbot is so damned hot, much more hotter than Blake and dullard Gilly, I don't think Mary deserves so much hotness overload, she should end in a convent, hahaha...and wouldn't it be awesome if Gregson came back for poor Edith? Also heard rumours that Grandma will die in season 6 (Dowager Duchess), but it is the last season anyway, so it won't hurt that much, at least I hope so.
