Sunday nights haven't been the same since my addiction to Downton Abbey began. I didn't realize last nights episode was 2 hours long and despite a valiant effort, I only managed to last until 11:20pm. I suppose the never ending snow shoveling took its toll.
But there were lots of memorable moments.
- Ethel (the former prostitute turned cook) regarding her improved cooking skills "A lady needs talents". The Dowager (with a raised eyebrow) "But you seem to have so many". A little jealousy perhaps? ;)
- As Matthew tries to get it on with Mary. Her response - "You'll make me untidy". Hmmm, she didn't say that to the Turkish guy, did she?
- The very un-catholic Lord G trying to get out of his granddaughters christening. "I went to a catholic service once in Rome. All that crossing and bobbing up and down. It was like a gymnastic event". Seriously??
- Bates to James regarding the "sleeping kiss" - "Why do you have to be such a girl's blouse about it".
- I especially love the exchanges between the Dowager and Isobel. Isobel irritates me. "As the kettle says to the pot". LOL
So, what was your favorite line? What did I miss in the last half hour? Who won the stupid cricket match? And why was Lord G being such a tool about it?
I'm off to the theatre to see Stolen Identity tonight. Looks like it will be funny. Have I mentioned how great my friends are, who know when I need to get out of my head? It bears repeating. I'm very lucky :)

ReplyDeleteI love the Dowager saucey tongue, but that was just ugly, I thought.
I won't tell you the whole ending, but would you believe that Thomas is to stay and be under butler? Which means he will be over Bates in authority! This is a web that just continues to be woven into more and more intricate patterns.
Next week is the last week-oh, no!
You KNOW how much I love DA! Usually I love Mrs. P., but last night I thought Bates had the best lines.
ReplyDeleteI thought that episode was just so funny. You picked some of my favorite lines.
ReplyDeleteIt really is the best show.
I have a good laugh at all of them....such a well written miniseries...I'll be sad when it ends next week and will be anxious for the return next year! I think Mathew is such a hunk...he could make me untidy anyday!!!
ReplyDeleteI so enjoy Downton Abbey, Mr. Dog Trot remarked last evening, "my this is well done." He first viewing. I love Dame Maggie Smith in any role that she takes on, she is simply wonderful!!!Enjoy your night out, Julie.
ReplyDeleteAll signs are also pointing to me watching Downton Abbey... I can certainly give up one of my Bravo shows for that I guess! You beat me to Identity Thief...hope it was just the break you needed!!
ReplyDeleteI haven't watched the Downton soI can't participate in your "Best lines". all I can say is Have a great time at the Theatre Tonight.
ReplyDeleteThe only show I'm watching is the snow falling and it looks so pretty with the trees all white. I'm so pitiful ain't I/
Hugs,

Love that show...my favorite line? Hmmm...I was laughing at most anything Maggie Smith said! But perhaps it was the whispering in the ear about Lady Cora's soap...
ReplyDeleteI have the show recorded but I haven't watched it yet.
ReplyDeleteYes, there were some great lines last night. Really enjoyable as usual. I didn't expect it to last two hours either, so had to flame some of my plans to get some last minute things done after Downton Abbey. I just sat and happily watched it and crocheted. Can you believe that next week is the season finale? I'm definitely getting this season on DVD and rewatching it.
ReplyDeleteDoes one think Mary got some kind of std from the turkish guy? I loved the cricket match it was so beautiful I hope you get a chance to see it. I loved the Dowager stepped lively when she was spying on the new girl Becky.
ReplyDeleteWhat! the season ends next week now what am I going to do?

Didn't watch it. The mister wants to concentrate on Season 2, and then purchase Season 3. Hopefully there will be a Season 4 so we can finally be all caught up.
ReplyDeleteSuper show on Sunday! I couldn't believe when they said next week was the season finale...it went so fast!!! Love the Dowager...such wit!
ReplyDeleteRobyn
I think I'm the only lame-o on the planet that is not watching Downtown... lol... but, looking forward to your review of Stolen Identity! Looks funny in the preview.
ReplyDeleteMorning
ReplyDeleteOh I love the Downton too.
I cant stay up that late and always watch on computer next day.
