The Dowager Countess and Isobel continue to shine - Julian Fellows, well done with the script for those two. Mrs. Patmore and Daisy are adorable, and the ending scene with Carson and Mrs. Hughes holding hands was beyond precious. I'm getting a little tired of the Barrow and Mrs. Baxter thing (Was she a prostitute? Is anyone going to figure out that he's gay? His character is such a dick. Almost wrote "suck" there, talk about a Freudian slip.), and the whole Edith went away and came back thing was quite abrupt - so she had the baby, yes? Gave it up, informally, yes? My dad kept asking when she was going to pop for the first half hour of the show...Mary's suitors - indeed, let the games begin.
How long will we have to wait this time for the next season? Lord knows it's probably already being shown in the U.K. (okay, that's a lie, but they will still see it ages before we do). Who knows, but when it doubt, think: WWTDCD (What Would The Dowager Countess Do?), duh.
