Default Downton Abbey Season 5 Postmortem

I don't know about you, but I cried like a baby last night watching the final episode of Season 5.

The sweetest moment was when Carson proposed to Mrs. Hughes, after telling her he added her onto the title of the house he bought for their future Bed and Breakfast. He said he would like to be stuck with her for the rest of his life. If you didn't cry seeing that, then you're just a bloodless, stone cold underfootman!

The Anna and Mr. Bates portions were all deserving of 2 hankies.

Finally, I love Isobel Crawley the best. Mother of Matthew, grandmother of Mary's son, and she has spine for standing up to that despicable Larry, son of her new suitor, Lord Merton.

Excuse me, but I need another tissue or two.

Downton Abbey audience: 99.9% women.

APC audience? 99% men.

(We don't watch it).

vagabond,

As one resident follower of Downton Abby, my respect for bringing it up here. No hankys for me, but I do like dome of the Brit period pieces, but more a Foyle's War or Inspector Morse type. Downton has "jumped the shark" to soap opera territory. Mary should just shoot Edith, it would less painful to watch; end the damned Bates never-ending silliness; finally, love Violet.

GF
