Queen Mary invites you in!
Episode: 8 of 8
Sunday, 4 November 2012, 9:00PM - 10:30PM
Drama
There is excitement in the house and village as the annual cricket match approaches, and it brings out Robert’s competitive side. [Oh. We all thought this was going to happen during the Christmas special, but uh, apparently not.]
As Violet’s great niece Rose arrives, a trip to London reveals there is more to her than meets the eye. [Huh. I'm actually intrigued by this bit. Any ideas what this could mean?]
Thomas’s future is in Carson’s hands, but Bates may be an unlikely ally. [I am SO here for the "three valets but only two men who need them" plot. I bet it'll end with Thomas being Matthew's valet and Molesley going back to butler for Mrs. Crawley/]
What secrets are Mary and Matthew holding back from each other? [This makes me really anxious! I bet that Dr. Clarkson has told her that it's unlikely that she'll have children. Or maybe she had a miscarriage and didn't tell anyone? IDK IDK. I DEFINITELY BET IT IS RELATED TO BABIES THOUGH.]

I have food poisoning and it has been coming out both ends all morning and I feel like shit.
QUICK. SOMEONE POST MARY GIFS TO CHEER ME UP.
some Anna/Mary for you
I hope you feel way better soon.
/just wishful thinking from me though really
Loving Matthew this episode and in the future, he needs to take control. I think I will start stanning Mary is she drops team Robert and goes on Team Cora. Also, could Cora be any sassier? So in love with her character.
Carson/Hughes feels when he said that she'd never abandon her. <33
She's a Decepticon.
But then she went back to him and I was PISSED. UGH.
I CANNOT WAIT FOR THIS SCENE IN THE NEXT EPISODE :')

FUCK BATES, HANG HIM
HANG HIIIIIIM
Thomas obviously thinks Jimmy is into him and I am sure O'Brien is going to manipulate the situation even more. I think the minute Jimmy shows how not interested/disgusted he is Thomas will back off.
And then everything will go to hell
I just know everyone's going to get fucked up except Bates and Robert. (a Bates/Thomas "friendship" might make Bates interesting though)
I just want Edith, Mary, Cora, and Thomas to be happy - WHY CAN'T THEY BE HAPPY?
What I especially liked was how much Robert was called out on his behaviour - it has made the character more bearable for me. And I like how they're slowing showing the changes of the time, all the little touches of that kitchen maid wearing rouge~ etc. Let's get the ladies some empowering moments! Go Edith!
