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.

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.
