I love Lady Mary ! Such a bitch , but with a heart .Edith is my bugbear , now there is one jealous cow .
I love the Dad , he reads them like a book .
Aww Anna and Mr Bates . awwww .
This series is terrific . I love it . Bring on some more , cant wait .
Exactly, there is nothing nice about Edith, she is willing to turn her own sister in on the word of an evil maid and an unintelligent (and highly suggestable) girl.
She overheard the conversation between Mary and her mother, so she should at least have talked to her.
In the trailer for next week Mary seemed to show genuine concern for Sibyll.
I love Lady Mary, she a bitch, but you can tell see really likes Matthew. Also, you can tell underneath she's just scared, plus I always I love a good bitch . I can't be doing with Thomas and O'Brien, it's not even a love to hate thing, it's just hate.
Can't believe there's only two episodes left, the last one is 90 minutes again, hopefully it's better than the first, which was a poor opener to a absolutely brilliant series.
I don't mind Thomas, but ooh... that O'Brien one! :mad:
Edith is a bit of a drip, but I do feel sorry for her. Sybil is definitely my favourite out of the three sisters.
Mathews mother is getting on my t!ts now , Right little busy body .( and I keep thinking she should live under the floorboards anyway )
Maggie Smith is gloriously snobby , I love her .
I think Edith is a little shit stirring wagon .I like Sybil , Love Cora , and Lady Mary is glorious , bitchy , catty and vulnerable and sweet ,
I think Edith is worse than Mary because she is so sly.
What kind of person would turn in their own sister to face possible execution, goes well beyond simple sibling rivalry
Yes you're right she is worse but for some reason I enjoy watching her more than Mary! I'm not sure why I can't take to Mary, there's still time for me to warm to her though so we'll see.
I agree that Sybil is my favourite of all the sisters. She's just so nice, she takes after her lovely papa and mama it seems. The other two must take after their granny.
I love Violet, Robert and Cora, Mrs Hughes, O'Brien:eek: and Mr Carson. They're my favourites in the show so far.
Mrs Patmore's poor sight has been heading our way for a couple of weeks now.
Her treatment of Daisy is redolent of Mrs. Bridge's treatment of poor Ruby in Upstairs Downstairs and the salt/sugar confusion reminded me of Ruby's mistake when she thought Mrs. Bridges wanted her to use bitter rather than butter in a recipe.
Sybil is lovely, and I do like her, but I find Mary a much more interesting character.
Exactly, Mary is much more interesting (and a much better actress!) Sybil is a bit too perky/happy/perfect all the time. She's a bit Mary Sue-ish and could do with some layers and fallibility.

Aw, Sybil is just the lovely baby of the family - sweet and kind and perfect, the youngest and best of the 3 sisters.
Just like all youngest of 3 sisters ... I'm the youngest of 3 sisters ...

Hehe! I'm sure you're more multi dimensional than Sybil is, though!
It's just the perfect oh-so-sweet younger sister character trope who just wants to be nice and good and true to everyone... kind of makes me want to barf. No one in real life is that one-dimensional, so it makes for a boring character, I feel.

Glad theres a second series on the way..

Sybil is lovely, and so much prettier than the other two!
That's it!! Thanks for that. I was wracking my brain trying to remember where that scene was from. Thanks smude!!!

Just about to say that meself with Dame May Whitty playing Lady Beldon.
It also looked like the costume department had raided Berman's & Nathan's for one of the Ascot outfits from My Fair Lady for the Countess.
Ahhhh, she was magnanimous - she's got a heart after all.

There's nothing new under the sun, is there?
Yes, me too.
The hour always seems to speed by though - wish it were on for longer.
And both characters played by Dames - May Whitty and Maggie Smith! Snap!
Ooooh, is there really?
Sybil is lovely, and I do like her, but I find Mary a much more interesting character.
So pleased to hear there's to be another series!
And a series with just 7 episodes is not really long enough - in the old days this would have been 13 episodes. Shame.
I'm guessing that whatever injuries he received during the Boer War included more than his leg
nasty...or perhaps there's a Mrs. Bates lurking in the undergrowth nearby
but perhaps Fellowes would rather we hadn't!
Just like all youngest of 3 sisters ... I'm the youngest of 3 sisters ...
Quite possibly not ...........;)
