Downton Abbey Christmas Special.

SPOILERS.

Wow. That was one great special. Good job on making our hearts beat out of our chests too. I actually thought Batesy might hang.


On a side note: No Sybil or Branson. Wahh....But she is having a baby. I'm actually a little disappointed that she is, but that's me.

Thank goodness Batesy didn't hang, and that was a definite relief. He is still inprisoned for life, but that's much better then dying.

Mary....broke up with Richard! Yeah! 'does little cheerleading cheer'.  I almost, (almost) felt sorry for Richard. He looked rather forlon when he left, and said he loved her.

And Violet did it again! "Promise?" "Something to remove horses shoes?" In that 'horse shoes scene' Isobel also had a rather awesome line.

"It's a nutcracker.To crack your nuts."

I deeply enjoyed this episode, and the Mary/Matthews must be so happy. I am not a M/M but I was glad that Mary was with Matthew instead of 'shivers' Richard,though I'd rather Lavinia be with Matthew. I am a Lavinia fan.

Anyway, good special!

The Finale Of Downton Abbey.

The End. Well not quite (thank goodness or I might cry) until December 25th.

In this episode Sybil and Branson and Robert had a good free for all fight, while Dame Maggie intervened , to say something. Sybil&Branson finally succeeded in getting the old man's blessing. He might not attend the wedding however.

Anna and Bates got married and then...well lets not think about that again.

Cora coughed up blood and had it flow from her nose,while the Doc assured us it was normal. Normal my foot.

Carson weezed and let Thomas help out.

And Mosley got drunk.Not his fault poor chap.

And Lavinia died....With a death so moving that I know I was crying.

And Robert was naughty. Naughty,naughty Robert.

And Matthew! You practically killed your fiancee! Mary you too! I can't ever see them together know that they have disgusted me so much.

And this was the 8th episode.

NEXT TIME:

We don't know! There has been no preview!

And on a side note:Downton is Today!

Downton Abbey-Episode 7

I .I'm.In.Shock. Major.Shock. I.I'm.Drinking.Sprite.To.Take .Down.My.Shaking.

Whats his name(oh ,yeah Robert) is a cad. A real honest to goodness cad. He grabbed Jane! Poor,poor Jane!

Robert is so smooth ,he has to have done it before .Hence why they keep on Thomas? Hence why Thomas never talks about his family? Oh yeah.

And.....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Sybil and Branson ran away! Of course they came back, but still....It was so sweet!!!

Bugs like me. Of topic, sorry.It just there was this one on my arm...

Anyway naturally, knowing me ,I am still worried.

1.Sybil gets convinced not to be with him

2.Branson gets payed off.

3. One (or both) die.

Now I've probably you all in a tizzy. Sorry.

Lets see...Vera! Vera has written a letter to a friend saying "he sounds worse, I'm scared for my life". Did Bates kill her? Did she set him up? Questions...And Bates bought her arsenic for rat poison...but doesn't want to tell.Oh dear.

Matthew feels a tingling! It comes to a walking! He can walk! Geranimo!He also throughs a tantrum,cause his Mom wants to give his toy to the refuge children.

Cora says "I'm going to help with the refuges" Oh Cora don't be good! Good makes you die!

NEXT WEEK:Dad meets boyfriend..aka his chauffeur. His not very pleased now, but never fear Branson will be asking "Can I call you Dad ?" soon.

Cora is very,very sick, and O'Brian wants to confess her sins, while Robert plays hokey with the maid. And Matthew and Mary dance. Really Matthew?

And Carson doesn't looks so good.

Episode 6 Review-Downton Abbey.

SPOILERS!

Wow. Patrick. Vera. Vera dead. Sybil x Branson=46 second scene.Need to stop talking like a caveman.

So Vera is dead!!!!!!!Who killed her!!! Who!!!! So ,it looks like poison? (I knew it! The series was foreshadowing it).She dropped the tea cup, so poison in the tea I believe.

Maybe O’Brian ,since she’s writing Vera, sent Vera ‘her special blend’. O’brian seems crazy enough to do it.

Moving on to Patrick-Who-May-or-May-Not-Be-The-Heir-But-Probably-Isn’t.

So he probably is Peter Gordon, but he handled it nicely.He didn’t seem like a scheming scamer. 

Mary was simply cruel about him"He's nothing to look at" .And to Edith "What a stupid thing to say!"

Mary,Mary, what do you do about Mary?

And thankfully the dog/donkey/rabbit did not make a appearance. Wheee! Matthew is filled up to the brim with angst though. His eyes were like razor light beams full of angst , and hatred of himself. Whew that was a mouthfull

Lavinia is back. (and Matthew seemed to feel better then, so thats good). Richard threatens Mary(poor girl) . "I have the power to destroy  you okay? Kiss....'shudders'.

As usual Isobel/Cora/Violet have a difference of opinion. It's rare when they all agree. World war 3?

So that was episode 7!

NEXT TIME:

Sybil and Branson !!!!She's made her decison! Please,please run away! (as you can see Branson is back in my good graces).

What else ?

Oh, who killed Vera? "the moving finger points".

And Robert tells Jane he is " Foolish man who has lost his way".And a man who makes really long speeches.

And Richard ask Anna to spy on Mary for him , she then interrupts Mrs.Hughes and Carson's cozy tea to tell them.

So yep.

SPOILERS!

Wow. Patrick. Vera. Vera dead. Sybil x Branson=46 scene.Need to stop talking like a caveman.

So Vera is dead!!!!!!!Who killed her!!! Who!!!! So ,it looks like poison? (I knew it! The series was foreshadowing it).She dropped the tea cup, so poison in the tea I believe.

So that was episode 7!

Sybil/Branson scene for episode 6. SPOILERS.

Okaydokey. Some of you've of probably heard there was clip from the next episode ,in a interview with Allen Leech.

Well here is the scene!





So ...Are they going to run away in three weeks? Start talking about "them" ? Start talking politics(seeing how slow they're relationship is progressing).

I've got a bad feeling about this. The Spanish Flu is coming...What if Branson dies and she regrets for the rest of her life making him wait.

Maybe he'll just get sick.

Teaser line: SPOILER:.

‘I love you. I’m going to look after you. That’s all there is to it.’


Its assumed its Mary to Matthew or Lavinia to Matthew, but maybe its Sybil to Branson? Or visa versa?


Just something to think about. (and worry about).

Episode 5-Downton Abbey.

William Mason passed away this episode.

I'm not a person that usually cries for tv/movie/books, but for this I did...

How could they do this? Everyone was moaning about Matthew and his um...inability, well what about William? He is dead!

William, you were a great character.

Bates and Anna....oh Bates....don't say everything's okay, you nice fool.
And next week you aren't divorced! Huh! Your making me wonder....you and Vera won't let each other go....and why does Vera hate you? There should be some sort of backstory here.


Sybil and Branson....Well I valiently defended Branson last week, but he lost my respect this week....Because of this..

"The shot the Czar and his family....I didn't actually think they'd do it, but scarfices must be made, "


What Branson! You think its okay to kill the Czar!!! What!

Oh and he loves Sybil....somehow the Czar's death reminded him of that, how romantic.

Matthew, it was hard not to giggle for some reason, but I do feel sorry for him,....And Lavina....poor girl. I don't think she'll give up. I hope she doesn't anyway.

Richerd Carlisle ,Mrs. Bates....Dum...dum...dum...The face-off between a Mordoch and The-Lady-With-Dead-Things-Around-Her-Neck.

It was very funny when Lord Granthem spit out his toast at the news of his daughters engagement. I like how Edith reacted when he said to Mary "He can't do this ,stop him!" Edith was like, "Um its already done".In a amused tone. I think Edith has become less striving to get approval and attention from her parents, which is probably a good thing. It will help her be less jealous of Mary.

Ethel. She looks pretty poor, but she's holding on.
Major Bryant is ....disgusting.


And "quote" time....Redone!

Branson-"The Czar died, I love you"



 Richerd Carlisle-"As my future wife your entitled to be in my debt" Mary-We haw,I'm positively jumping with joy"

Mrs. Bates- " For some unexplained reason I despise you , and I shall you get some way or another with the help of the flying (erh dead) foxes!"

Violet-What is this a telephone or a instrument of torture...hello Mr.Squiggle" needs no makeover.


Anna-'We'll be so happy!" It speaks for itself.

       

"I'm Jane." -Jane .
"Ah"-Me.(She's either a distraction or....Patricks wife!, (maybe he never got on the boat because he ran away with a maid(Jane) and they get separated and she goes to Downton because she hears he is coming there).


...


My  review was a bit more serious, because of William.

NEXT TIME:

Mrs. Bates is (what else is new?) back again.

The War is Over! Throw your hats in the air!

Branson-I love you.

Sybil-Don't have to wait forever....cause umm...either I have another boyfriend and will inform you of that, or I'm going to go to school/job and will inform you of that or we can run away then....or we can talk politics then! Or something else...see the cleverly parentheses below.

("Don't have to wait forever?" What do you think it is?...comments in the comment bar!).

Carson-Miss me?

Mrs. Hughes-Yep.

GIF's.

Yeah, I've been posting a lot on here, about DA...I could say I need a life, but as a matter of fact I have one, a very good one.

Anyway here is the .....GIF's? Pictures with text on them?

Oh Edith....I'm so proud of you in Series 2....

Tell us Violet! Tell us ! Is it Mosley's Dad , is it Carson? Tell us!

Ahem. Who else hollered at this line?

Because the song by Owl City, called Dream Don't Turn To Dust is perfect for Branson. Because he firmly believes his dream/s won't turn to dust. They may but I hope they don't .Cuase they're my pairing.

UPDATE:Branson is no longer a fav character. Sybil/Branson is no longer my ship...My ship has sailed of away from me, 'gets all dramatic'.

Speculation about Episode 5 (Downton Abbey).

First of all I would like to say Thanks! To the person who posted a link to my blog on Digital Spy forums.


....

 In the TV preview of the next episode , in the scene with Sybil and Branson, where it looks like they're going to kiss....It actually sort of looks like she's going to faint. Her eyelids are going downwards and her head a bit too....Spanish Flu?

She looks sort of feverish too.

...
And those promo pictures (SPOILERS!) for Epi-5....What is O'Brian up too? You know maybe she's going to poison Vera.

  ‘I’m not standing by while she brings misery and ruin on my lady.’. And the series seems to be fro-shadowing poison. Branson and the soup of course. And in Series 1, Daisy gets cleaning powder and food mixed up. Thankfully she manages to put switch them back to the way there supposed to be....But anyway what if O'Brian poisons Vera and pins it on Bates and Anna?

..
On a longer summery The Global Herald...(course we don't know if its true or not....) its says

"The Earl (Hugh Bonneville) is somewhat out of the loop, making excuses for his wife, hearing of his daughter’s engagement through the papers and only just managing to give the say-so on a new maid to replace Ethel Parks (Amy Nuttall)."


His daughters engagement? The first thing that comes to mind is Mary. But in last episode Richerd Carlisle wrote to Lord Granthem asking for his blessings. Promo Pictures. SPOILERS.


Promo pictures show Mary next to Matthew? Maybe she and him get engaged?


Or Sybil and Branson? Though it probably wouldn't be the best idea to publish a frobidden engagement int the newspaper...Unless...Maybe back then you registered you were engaged? And they printed it whether you wanted them to or not?


That would bring a very interesting reaction. 




The  Earl is reading his newspaper.


"Oh my goodness!" Sybils in engaged" sputters " to BRANSON!?"


Lady Cora"Branson? Is that the Earl of Branson?" Did I meet him at some party?"


"Well dear, he did drove us to the party" mutters something about "I envy your ignorance".


..
Yep, Cora probably wouldn't remember her drivers name.


...
And that same summery mentions....


"Devastating news from the front brings a radical change in the future of Downton. A re-ordering of relationships means a financially secure future for one of the staff and a not so secure future for those upstairs. Violet (Maggie Smith) does her best to pull some strings, but there is little she can do in the face of so much upheaval except bully a few local inferiors. Even Lady Mary (Michelle Dockery) is nursing soldiers by the time the family have regrouped."

A financially secure future for one of the staff....who?" And a not so secure future for those upstairs?

Perhaps someone downstairs is the third heir?(Promo pictures SPOILERS ,Matthew looks pretty bummed out about something, so maybe he refuses the title of Earl because he's so upset?)

Maybe Thomas is the third Earl? Though technically he isn't a staff member anymore...But it would be bad for those upstairs, because he would just chuck them out the door when he inherited....

...

Ah my mind. It is a whirling with teasers, spoilers and theory. My poor mind!


NOTE: Some of these ideas are my Moms.

Episode 4-Downton Abbey.

Edith really shines in this one. She's organizing a concert. She's helping Daisy. She's tells Mary something she should know. She's great!


Branson and Sybil....dum.dum.dum...Well um....He's determined?

I love Violets line in the conversation with Mary about Sybil's Suitor. "I had a endless series of crushes when I was her age" That makes be laugh every time.


As for Branson "belittling " Sybil's work , I think I have a explanation for that....He said "Bringing tea to all those randy officers". Randy ...look it up. Branson is worried about Sybil(sure maybe he could of said it differently but he's Branson) .I'm sure the servants have heard about Ethel and Randy Andy (Major Bryant) by now. Mrs. Hughes may not of not told them, but they probably put two and two, together. Ethel has left.Major Bryant flirted with her. And he (next time) is visiting his "pals". Probably he and his "pals" have a reputation as well is maybe some of the other officers.

So yeah (yeah, is a word not used in the 1918s, Violet would not approve) he's worried.

 Not sure if this is from the episode but its hilarious.

William and Matthew are missing....dum..dum..dum.. Thank goodness they come back.

I don't think its realistic that Matthew would of started singing (oh that was painful) he would of said "Oh don't  stop" and sat down .

O'Brian is as Thomas masterfully remarks "A strange one".
Thomas doesn't seem to care much about O'Brian's schemes anymore. He just smokes and has cuppa's of tea.

Bates is back! . "Thomas is a sergeant now" "Another reason to pray for peace".

"So what scandal was your wife threatening to expose?" "Oh nothing, just some silly nonsense about your daughter and a turkish gentlemen that oh so conviently died "

"Alrighty Bates, even though it concerns my family, I won't care about the 'scandel' ".
Would someone please explain why everyone has a crush on Bates? Its a mystery to me.He's nice of course but crush whys?


Mrs.Bird starts a soup kitchen and Mrs.Patmore and Daisy help out. Heartwarming.
NEXT TIME.....

I think Violet will walk right in when Sybil and Branson are about to kiss(thats what the preview indicated).

Remember her crushes? She'll go"Oh how romantic , reminds me when I was your age I had a crushes on a chauffeur  too, so romantic" and Sybil and Branson will be ....shocked.As my Mom said (the idea was also hers too) that will probably take the romance right out of it. Granny did this too! The Dowanger Countess did this too!

And Mary is doing work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Call 911!!! If Carson manages to overcome his fear of the phone!!!!!

And does Daddy finally find out the scandal that everyone knows except for him?Hmmm.

And Ethel does not look good....She might die...The funeral? Its so sad. Who will get the baby? Anna and Bates?

Vera is back! Oh gee.

Picy's !

And the soup is safe...Review of Episode Three of DA.

So Downton Abbey returns and with bated breath we wonder if the Crawley family will make it through the episode with a scheming Chauffeur. Turns out the Chauffeur just wanted to throw a mixture of oil , tar and cows pat(charming!) on the Generals head. Whew.

 And could O'Brian being nice!? Not possible. She's either scheming or dying . One or the other.


 And what kind of man would blackmail a little girl?!! Lavina had to be very young when Richerd Carlile blackmailed her.


AND NEXT WEEK...
Branson tells Sybil he will stay until she runs away with him. Yay. She's excited. She gets to have Branson pop up behind her wherever she is until she's in a nursing home.

Mary scolds Sybil and forbids her to talk to Branson. Really Mary?

And Isobel leaves. Poor Isobel . Cora is a snob.

More scoop on the Last Guardian.

I think I'm having a heart attack.



Oh .my. I. am. soexcited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Sosososo! And I'm still having that heart attack!.

So Opal Koboi(I finally know how to pronounce her last name) releases these spirits. I giggled at the porcupine bit.


It sounds interesting ! And great! And wonderful!


And some people said Eoin Colfer said g- friend, when talking about Holly and Artemis working together.It just sounded like he was clearing his throat to me...but I am open to the other option!

The Last Guardian!
So lets scream!

Downton Abbey-Is Branson up to no good with the soup?

I watch the second season's second episode. Thomas is back. Sybil's a nurse. Edith is kissing a man who's married.Lang the new valet is shellshocked and o'Brian knows it and shows a spark of goodness to him(me:O'brian being kind! call the cops!).


And next week....What is the secret of Lavina ? And Thomas is the head of the hospital? Anna finds Bates, do they get together? And what is Branson up to with the soup?

Downton Abbey Series Two Episode 1.

Downton Abbey premiered it's second season at 9 pm Sunday, Sept 18th.


Downton Abbey is a ITV Drama about a family and there servants in the 1914 area. In the second series in its 1916 and England is at War, which means the poor Granthams might have to lift a a few fingers.



Episode 1 starts with a dramatic (hence the Drama genre) scene of the trenches with Matthew running for his life , and then annoucing he has two days of leave , that he'll be using to visit old Downton.

Next we see a concert to raise money for the hospital being set up in Downton , and then Isabol (Matthew's Mother) informs them that Matthew will be coming here on leave and bringing...drumroll....his fiance!

His fiance is a women named Lavina Swire. She seems much nice then Lady Mary ,though others think she's not who she says she is or somethings up with her (like my Dad, but then I caught him watching Matthew/Mary videos on a Ipad at the Apple store ...odd).

Carson is not extacly pleased to see Matthew and is not planning anything special for him. "Because he broke Lady Mary's heart", though what Mrs. Hughes says is much more truthfully, "Lady Mary broke her own heart, that is if she has a heart".

Why does Carson dote on Lady Mary so much? Could he be her Father? Is the first series mentions Lady Cora and Lord Granthems first year of marriage was unhappy . Scandel Alert!

Then at the concert some ladys decide it would be fun to hand out white feathers. One to William who is upset since for some reason he wants to fight in the war (The Dowanger Countess told the officials he had a skin condition and that Mosely had lung trouble, Mosely was rather happy about being excused). And one to Branson who laughed.


Edith is learning how to drive, and mentions that she can drive them when they have no servants (as my Mom points out she seems the only one aware of the fact they won't have servants someday).

Lady Cora still trust O'Brian. Go figure.
Lord Granthem is wearing his army uniform and going on and on about it. Rather amusing.


Sybil has decided to be a nurse and Isabol tells out she will have to learn basic skills, which she does though she doesn't know how to fill a tea kettle when she starts. I can NOT imagine not knowing that.


Branson decides to propose (I guess thats what it was) to Sybil after driving here to the nursing school. She refuses...maybe it wasn't the best idea to say "Its okay if your cast away from your family".Never reassuring. I'd must admit, I was surprise she refused, I thought she liked him.

Edith seems is though she's finding a way to be happy. She just ignores Mary,rather then playing in her fingers. And as I said earlier she's learning how to drive. . I'm looking forward to seeing Ediths character develop .

Mary has decided she does like Matthew after all and is seen praying for his safe return. If I've ever done anything good God? she ask. Matthew is cursed now.


So that basically sums it up.

Wait Till Helen Comes

Wait Till Helen Comes:A Ghost Story..which lives up to the "A Ghost Story" part, it's a spooky story about 12 year old Molly who's Mom has married a man ,who has a daughter named Heather. Heather doesn't like Molly ,her brother Micheal and they're Mom and blames every bad things on them.

The family moves to a house in the country, nearby is a old graveyard, which scares Molly but Heather is fansinated by and finds a hidden gravestone with her intials on it.

Molly begins to get worried when Heather says she has a friend named Helen and that to "Wait till Helen comes".

I'd advise to read this book, just make sure it's not at midnight!
.

The Girl Who Could Fly-By Victoria Forester

The Girl Who Could Fly is fun read. It kept me interested throughout the whole book, with lots of twist and turns.

The Girl Who Could Fly is about eleven year old Piper Mcloud,who can fly. She lives with her parent on a farm in a old country town. Problem is the folk in town are a little frightened of her.

When Dr. Letitia  Hellion comes and tell her about a top secret maxiumn security school for kids with special talents,she jumps(perhaps flys would be a better word) at the chance.

I want to say more but  I don't want to ruin the twist's.:)

I definitely look forward to seeing more of Victoria Forester's books...

Artemis Fowl 8th Book Named

 The Second Artemis Fowl (The Arctic Incident )
Russian Version.

The 8th (and final) Artemis Fowl book has a name!

It is entitled The Last Guardian.                                                

I wonder what that means .....Butler....Juliet....Holly.  (Their guardian like, especially Butler, since he is Artemis Fowl's bodyguard)

Definately not Foaly! He is the last person to be a guardian. Scaredy -Horse.

It will be released Summer 2012. The wait!!!!

How do I love thee? wondered Orion. "Let me see. I love thee passionately and eternally...obviously eternally-that goes without saying." Holly blinked sweat from her eyes. "Is he serious?" she called over her shoulder to Foaly. "Oh, absolutely," said the centaur "If he asks you to look for birthmarks, say no immediately." "Oh, I would never." Orion assured her. "Ladies don't look for birthmarks; that is work for jolly fellows like the Goodly Beast and myself. Ladies, like Miss Short, do enough by simply existing. They exude beauty, and that is enough." " I am not exuding anything." said Holly, through gritted teeth. Orion tapped her shoulder. "I beg to differ. You're exuding right now, a wonderful aura. It's pastel blue with little dolphins." Holly gripped the wheel tightly. "I'm going to be sick. Did he just say pastel blue?" "And dolphins, little ones," said Foaly."

Island,

Island is a series by Gordon Korman. Their are three books, 1 Shipwreck, Survival, Escape. Their really adventures with some humor too.
